USA 1, Bafana Bafana 0, from lovely Cape Town (Final)

[Steve19]

Game is showing on ESPN2 in the US right now.

Some great aerial shots of that beautiful stadium and Table Mountain dimly lit in green light in background during half time. Stunning summer night, about 69F.

Look for US to get aggressive.

The game started after 9pm on a school night during the exam period, so the stadium is not full (55,000 of the 60,000 capacity). Lots of American support is evident.

Big moment for the kid. Congrats to him! :)

He looked pretty shocked at the whole situation.

Final.

Just noticed a nifty little touch on the assist to Agudelo. Mikkel Diskerud (Mix) rolled the ball back to his foot and popped it up a little before knocking it through the 2 South African defenders.

Juan had a great first touch off the thigh and then a class finish.
