I think spainsh downfall started in sports....first Rafa nadel lost to little known Robin in Tennis after 40mathes winning streak in French open....now spain lost to lowly US in soccer after unbeaten in 35 matches...Congrats to USA & Spain is chockers like South Africa...US did some upsets in World cup 2002 when they beat Portugal 3-2, & Mexico 2-0 in Pqf so they are no more pushovers.
It's surprising result.A country of Baseball and Busketball players are playing Football and that too against Spain.Is there any betting?USA is no match for Spain.2-0 win stunned all football lovers.None believes the result honestly.

Spain did not play badly...they really attacked USA, only that the US defense was very strong..and on a different day, Spain could have scored atleast 5. Somehow, while watching the match, it reminded me of Chelsea Vs Barcelona match in the Champions League Semis, where Barca were in the same position as Spain...except that Barca went on to draw after a dramatic equilizer by Iniesta... I was somehow hoping the same would happen...

u r mad.....spain deserved to lose....they were cocky and overconfident.....well done USA....played sensibly..attacked at the beginning...and defended with their lives after scoring and then scored again by counter attack....this is why i love the beautiful game....anyone can win...

They are the current European Champions. Barcelona is currently the best club in Euorope too.Dont think they should be called chokers anymore.

I didn't surprise because this is Spain. They are reminding South Africa in Cricket. Both will play well and defeat all team but if they played any tournament they should out in first round or semi final.
Any victiry for the United States of America is music to me...but i wish they had beaten Iran in that world cup match instead of loosing to them. Go Get em' USA... As for India and Indians they can get stuck with their religion Cricket and their crappy bollywood crap.

but it frustrates me that we are stuck with cricket, kabbadi and anthakshari...lots of big empty talks but no real matter in it. We cant even bloody compete with the chinese football team.

What sport you play other than blogging? Grow up! Every nation have their own positives. If US has won against Spain (rare win) then Indian Saina also won the badminton event recently. You get that ?
