This is an amazing feet.  America hasn\'t done this well in a long time.  This is a special time for soccer, it\'s the one time of the year someone cares about it.

Jinx? What Jinx? The Unitd States was SUPPOSED to lose this game, and the US should have won, as they outplayed Germany (More shots, More possession, more opportunties, etc.) but Germany escaped, and got "some" help from the Refs (they got a ton).

Go South Korea! See Yuz.
