A week after it toppled FIFA and ousted president Sepp Blatter, the United States stunned the Netherlands in a 4-3 thriller in Amsterdam.
Fine. That's over the top. But the U.S. men's national team did pull off an incredible upset of the sixth-ranked team in the world on foreign soil on Friday, coming back from 3-1 down to win the friendly 4-3.
The fourth goal was a beauty. Michael Bradley took the ball deep in his own half in the 90th minute, went on a 50+ yard solo run to the top of the Dutch box before passing it off to (college student) Jordan Morris, who squared a pass to Bobby Wood for the goal.
