    The U.S. men's national team entered its match against Italy having never beaten the Azzurri, going 0-7-3 in games dating back to 1934. That winless streak ended on Wednesday. The Americans defeated Italy, 1-0, for the first time off a second-half goal from Clint Dempsey in front of small crowd at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris in Genoa. The goal came in the 55th minute when Jozy Altidore brought down a cross from left back Fabian Johnson and played a short pass to Dempsey, who hit a low shot past Gianluigi Buffon for his 25th international goal.

    Then the U-23's went out and beat Mexico. I'm REALLY excited for the future of US Soccer!

    Watched this game, it was tight and one of the US's headline wins in international soccer, even though it was a friendly. And no Landon Donovon.

    Screw Italy.
