As things stand, the U.S. is still mathematically alive for a semifinal berth -- all that needs to happen is Bob Bradley's men beat the Pharaohs by at least three goals and Italy loses to Brazil by four goals. If that sounds like a tall order, you're right. It's a sequence of events that is about as likely to happen as Paris Hilton becoming the next UNICEF ambassador. (the ESPN Soccernet blogger before the match today).
Turns out US won 3-0, Italy lost 3-0, and the US goes on hahahaha

Not really that surprised (it was either now or next season), but the Head Coach for UofO football stepped down to become the AD today. Over his tenure every other Pac10 team had at least 3 coaches. Good luck to Chip Kelly in succeeding him.
