It's a surprise. But Its not an absolute shock. #14 over #1 isn't ridiculously unheard of.

Can someone explain the two ESPN headlines about Spain's unbeaten streak to me? First there was the "hasn't lost since 2006 (I think), 35 straight wins, 1 shy of world record" and then immediately followed by "this snaps Spain's world record 15-game winning streak" wait, what?

You can draw in football. It's 35 without defeat (one shy of the record for games without defeat). 15 straight wins (the record for straight wins).

Oh, that's right. I'm used to sports that aren't allowed to end in a tie doh!

Exactly, 35 game unbeaten streak, and now nobody cares because they lost to the USA.

Is it just this one or does a giant swarm of bees hover over every soccer match?

So, perhaps this is a bit of what it would have been like if the United States had slipped on a banana peel against Finland after beating Russia in 1980.

QFT, that was the worst performance I've ever seen in any football game ever.

The US had a good first half... but fell flat in the second.

I thought it was an entertaining game. Good 1st half by the US with a world class score against Brazil. Brazil comes back in the second half and takes it to the US. Fun, fun, fun...
