USA v Honduras - GOLD CUP Semifinals (3-1)

For Global Football fans this game was very good. For USA fans, this game showed the capability of the US Men's Soccer team under the guidance of the well experienced Jurgen Klinsmann....
...who so rightfully protested against the poor refereeing of the match on a foul against Demarcus Beasley and got sent off... Really? The ref in this game was the only downfall of this FIFA regulated match, who allowed the Honduras team to aggressively take on the USA team unsuccessfully. The US team demonstrated the passion needed for a very good World Cup 2014 performance. The pressure applied to Honduras team showed the dedication of putting pressure on the opposing team while they had possession of the ball. The favorites of the World Cup 2014 may be Brazil, Spain, and Germany, but the US is definitely the Dark Horse in this Race.
