Against all odds, US beat Egypt 3-0 and made it to the semi-final. They'll face favorite Spain tonight. Though nobody expects US will pull it off against Spain, but I do hope a miracle will occur in South Africa.
Soccer has been shunned by Americans for many years. It's considered a marginal sport primarily for immigrants. Pele, Beckenbauer, and Beckham have failed to ignite American interest despite their international stardom. Let's see if Americans will change their hearts about soccer in these two years. If Team USA can somehow stun the audience in the Confederation Cup and the World Cup, I think MLS can unseat baseball to become one of the three major sports.
