I Have Never Felt More Outnumbered: Freddy comes through and Jozy too

United States 2, Brazil 1

There were some amazing performances that I will delve into tomorrow. The overall atmosphere of Frank Clair Stadium was electric and this was easily the most exciting match I have been to since the Mexico-Germany game in the 1998 World Cup. Altidore, Adu and Michael Bradley were simply fantastic and the defense played admirably all game. Robbie Rogers' first half was brilliant but what was even better was that when he quieted down in the second half, Sal Zizzo (who had a slow first half) really picked it up.

Mr. Zizzo, it was nice meeting you. To the Argentinian fans in front of us, control your kid. To the American fans, outnumbered but still vocal, we salute you and thank you for making that game as amazing as it was.

I repeat, USA 2, Brazil 1. I will talk more tomorrow...but seeing as it is 2am here, I am gone.
