You should have seen the first half! It was more even and the US had many more trips into the Spanish 18 yd box.
The second half the US was bunkered down protecting their 1-0, and later 2-0, lead.
Which US club team is better than the US National Team?
Which Spanish club team is better than the Spanish National Team?
Which Brasilian club team is better than the Brasilian National Team?
etc, etc.
I'll retract the comparison to the 1960 Hockey game. Not enough US TV coverage of the Confederations Cup and not the World Cup. But don't tell the billions of soccer fans around the world that the US beating Spain, a team one win away from setting an all time record of 36 games in a row without a defeat and pass Brasil's record of 35, in a major FIFA tournament wasn't next to miraculous.
