Dempsey's goal in the 74th minute clinched an unlikely American victory After getting absolutely dragged through the mud following back-to-back one-sided losses to Italy (3-1) and Brazil (3-0), Team USA came through with one of the most improbable upsets in American Soccer history. The Americans stunned top-ranked Spain with a 2-0 with in the FIFA Confederations Cup Semifinals yesterday.
.
Where do I even start? The win was only Team USA's second over a World #1 - the other coming 49 years ago against England in the 1950 World Cup. The victory also snapped Spain's 35-game unbeaten streak, which was the longest unbeaten streak in international soccer history. Sunday will be the first time ever that the Americans will participate in a FIFA Championship game of any kind.

Team USA still has a long way to go, but the magnitude of this win cannot be understated.
