2008 - USA v Argentina



2008.06.08 Giants Stadium - USA v Argentina

One week before the start of the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying, the US Mens National Team showed its mettle with an impressive 0-0 draw with the #1-ranked Argentina before a record sell-out crowd of 78,682 fans...The crowd was the largest for a US Men's National Team match at Giants Stadium and the 4th largest crowd ever at the stadium....

During a night when Kasey Keller, one of the best goalkeepers in US soccer history was honored before the game for earning his 100th cap, Tim Howard displayed the skills that have made him the heir apparent to Keller as the US top keeper. Howard was named the Sierra Mist Man of the Match...Howard made seven saves, all in the first half of the game...

Landon Donovan also shined during a special occasion that saw him become the 11th player to earn 100 caps for the US Men's National Team, the youngest ever for the US and the fourht youngest in the world...
