Mapp draws first blood off of a Convey assist. They win 2-0 and go onto the quarterfinals against Argentina. Argentina is the defending champs. story on main site http://www.ussoccer.com/ Sounds like it was a good game to see.
First half was a cracker, as both teams were playing wide open footy the entire half. Game changed when the Ivory Coast keeper was ejected for his second yellow card of the half. US played a bit more defense in the second half as the IC wasn't able to attack the way it did in the 1st half. Mapp's goal was a a thing of beauty. Can't wait to see him back at Soldier Field next spring. Bill Q.
