This is the bet I will make with you or anyone else.
USA will win a world cup before England wins another.

That win over Spain was significant in raising awareness of the game here in the states.

I was happy that the USA beat Spain -- such an upset, it can only be good for the sport.

Put up or shut up.
I'll bet you my mortgage that USA don't win the next WC or get in the final.
I'll even give you 10 to 1 odds.

You've just lost twice to Brazil, and once to Italy....and beat Egypt and Spain - when and how did that ever qualify any side to be 'good at it'???!!!!
There's a lot of people getting things out of perspective on here.

I didn't have a chance to see the match but I heard the US played an excellent game. Good to see some significant progress from a country which really could be a force at the world's most loved sport, if only they got around to loving it as the rest of us do. Let's hope it continues.
Well done!
