From the U20 World Cup: Dilly Duka scores one of the most amazing goals in all of USA soccer history (third USA goal of this game). Completely insane! He looks off the keeper as if he is going to cross, then just chips it to the back post for a Golazo! Here is video of that goal and all the other highlights from USA 4 - 1 Cameroon. (thanks to Jay for the much higher quality video link)

Post game quotes by coach & players from US Soccer.
dN
This game is all about goals. No other score is kept. So if the USA was out performed in areas of the field by Cameroon then so be it. The final score is all that matters. On the other hand, they still have a long way to go if they want to beat South Korea and advance to the knock out stages where anything is possible.
dN
One thing I have always loved in soccer is the reaction to goals from the bench. For some reason seeing a coach celebrate a goal brings me extra joy. And it was fun to see Rongen and his staff get to have some fun yesterday.

Clavijo may have an eye for talent, but he's also the man who traded Kyle Beckerman for Mehdi Ballouchy. I guess everybody has a howler once in a while...
Thanks for the link, sir. See you in DC on the 14th?
Fair enough Kenobi, but go find another former or current MLS exec with fewer mistakes in player personnel than Clavijo.
It's not easy, that's all I was saying.
Everyone makes mistakes. He has just made very very few.
