They're on a FIFA record 15-game winning streak and have tied Brazil's record of 15 straight games without a loss. And dubmass me forgot to record it, so I guess I'll be checking for updates.

Link to the game

Also, posterformerlyknown.......you may want to take any scoring out of the title. There are usually people recording at home and not wanting to know.

Glad we are up... still giving too many chances in the defensive part of the field, especially the last 25 yards or so. Spain's too good not to convert one or more of those.

We won't win the possession game. We need to keep them farther back and try to convert some on transition. Honestly, we could have one or two more already.

I love Altidore- we've been needing a guy like him for YEARS.

Riera wastes a good opportunity with a wild cross-***-shot following Villa's clever ball lifted over the top of the USA defence.</p> </dd> </dl>

My only consolation is that I'm sure this will be replayed soon and I will watch it then. Assuming we hold on, is this the biggest upset win for the USA since we beat England 1-0 in the 1950 World Cup?

Check your local listings!

The win over Brazil in 1998 was huge. It is the only other game that could rank up there with England 1950 and, what could turn out to be, Spain 09.

kill to have Harkes playing for them in his prime.

Harkes was a monster.

That is why I kind of like Harkes and Lalas being involved with calling these games. They gave their blood, sweat, and tears for the team for many years and you can hear it in their voices how much they want the US to be good!

I'm so glad someone put the ustream link up. Didn't do much work the second half but that was fantastic.
