Nil-Nil with #1 is Next Level

Don't get us wrong, tying the number one team in the world is not good enough. But, it is a huge step in the right direction.

Through blazing heat, driving rain, thunder and lightning the U.S. MNT matched Argentina stride for stride

Spearheading our attack was Landon Donovan, who celebrated his 100th cap with a passionate performance that set the tone for the team. And the boys responded, as they were clearly relishing the chance to play on American soil. But with a swarm of baby blue washing through Giants Stadium, there was little in the way of home-field advantage.


"We need these sorts of games," said Michael Bradley. "This was our third game against a tough opponent in a hostile environment, and we competed hard and at the end of the day we can only get better by playing these sorts of matches."

Tim Howard walked away with the Man of the Match award for his stellar work between the posts, blocking everything the Argentineans threw at him. And, Freddy looked impressive again, linking up well with EJ to add some punch to the U.S. attack in the second-half.

A huge shout-out to Sam's Army and the American Outlaws, who got the party started at the Nike Snake Pit pre-game rally. We couldn't have done it without you. And another shout-out to the nearly 79,000 fans who packed Giants Stadium and made this a night to truly remember.

Now we just need to carry this momentum into our World Cup qualifier with Barbados on June 15th at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA.
