U.S. soccer team scores a goal: Great celebration ensues

The Painful Goal That Saved America at the World Cup

No kidding.

This was in fact the second goal our favorite team has scored in a mere three games, and was enough to put the U.S. kickers into the World Cup's Sweet Sixteen — or, as it's known in soccer circles, the "knockout round."

We are, of course, thrilled, and fervently hope they knock themselves out by scoring another goal some day, hopefully before the present tournament ends.

Go U.S.A.!
