U.S. Still Alive!!!

What a great fucking match that was!!! At one point in the first half a U.S. player got elbowed in the eye and needed stitches! It was great:

KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany - They lumbered from end to end, desperate to stop the blue surge of Italian players and salvage their World Cup.

And in the end, with players dropping to field in exhaustion, the United States managed a wild 1-1 tie Saturday night that gave the Americans their first-ever World Cup point in Europe and a chance to advance to the tournament's second round.

They'll need a win and some help, but the Americans are still players on the World Cup stage. Even if they needed an own-goal to tie the Italians.

USA, USA, USA!!!!! Okay, okay, the Italian guy accidentally kicked the ball in for us but it would have went in anyway!!! Go team!
