A Semi-Final to be remembered.

I will begin by saying, WOW!!! I certainly did not see it coming and I am sure many of others didn't either. The USA didn't just win by a thin lead, it was somewhat convincing. Although both the American goals were scored due to the errors of the Spanish defense, a win is a win and there is nothing that can be done about it. However, I truly do feel bad for Sergio Ramos. Although he may have been the cause for Dempsey's second goal, it cannot be refuted that he is still an extremely good player; he did not realize that Dempsey was behind him, yet then again I question, why take the touch over simply clearing it out? This will be a question still to be answered for a very long time.



In the other semi-final, Brazil did not have the easiest of wins. In fact, there were multiple times where it seemed as if South Africa could have taken the lead and possibly gotten the win. Although they lost, this only proves that many more positive things are to come from the team that was not even expected to make it to the Semi's.

I am looking forward to what may be another upset for the USA. Don't miss it, tomorrow at 2:30 PM EST on ESPN and Univision.
