Jurgen will be unbearable for a long time. The player nobody thinks should be anywhere close to the team just scored the winner against Germany in Germany.
Never in my life would I have imagined us beating Holland and Germany away back to back. Straight ludacris.
Wow what a couple matches away from home. Guatemala so fucked on July 3rd for that last friendly before the Gold Cup.
For those that understand the FIFA rankings much more than myself...how much of a jump should we expect after the last two wins?

He scores when he wants, He scores when he wants.. Bobby Wood He scores when he wants... Just not for club
Ah ok. I was thinking friendlies still counted because of what I read below (from Wikipedia), but I guess neither team fielded their "A" teams. International "A" matches[edit] In October 2012, FIFA released a press circular defining what is considered to be an international "A" match. For the purposes of the ranking, FIFA defines an international "A" match as a match between two FIFA members for which both members field their first representative team ("A" team). The FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking is based on a list of all international "A" matches that are recognised by FIFA. International "A" matches include matches played as part of the FIFA World Cup, FIFA World Cup qualifiers, FIFA Confederations Cup, continental final tournaments, continental qualifying competitions and international friendlies.
Yea a friendly, and fitness and focus of the Germans obviously in some question, but I'm racking my brain and I'm not sure I've seen a better 60 mins from a senior US side than the one I just watched. Much elevated composure on the ball (distinct lack of panic in the middle third) and incisive line breaking passing from everyone on the field. I'm waiting to be shaken from the dream right now...
If it is counted as an "A" friendly then it will give us a few points, but I am going to guess the points from a friendly aren't weighted very heavily.

Yep, not as much as WC and qualifier matches Match statusMultiplier Friendly match x1.0 FIFA World Cup and Continental cup qualifiers x 2.5 Continental cup and Confederations Cup finals x3.0 World Cup finals match x4.0
Really like the work rate of the team, we were all over the place defensively vs Holland and were for most of the first half today but 2nd half was solid. Lulu being so lazy helped but always had good numbers back while still being dangerous in attack.
