FIFA World Cup 2010 qualifiers Mexico v USA Azteca Stadium, Mexico City The real revelation of international soccer this year has to be the USA , who shocked everyone by downing the world's top-ranked nation Spain 2-0 at the FIFA Confederations Cup in South Africa, before leading Brazil by the same score in the final, eventually losing 3-2. After an impressive quarter-final finish in the 2002 World Cup and a disappointing first round exit in 2006, the States have announced they are gunning once more for football's top table.
