USA! USA! Great game, unbelievable finish to take the 3 points from what looked to be a certain draw (or worse).

And are people really arguing about the terms "soccer" vs "football" on here? You guys know that the US isn't the only country that calls the game soccer, right? There's at least a half dozen other countries including Canada, Australia and New Zealand where the term soccer is regularly used.

Americans are just easier to wind up with it.

Really?  Seems like the Euros are the ones who get wound up over it, seeing as they're always the ones to bring it up.  If you call the game football in the US nobody will really bat an eye, but if you go to a pub in the UK and utter the word "soccer" you're liable to start a fight.
