Third time's a charm.
The United States men's soccer finally reigned victorious over Ghana in their first match of the 2014 World Cup. While the past two Cups has seen the US losing to their African rivals, they finally pulled out the win yesterday in Brazil with a score of 2-1.
The game was amazing, featuring the fastest goal to ever be seen in American World Cup history, with Clint Dempsey scoring within the first 30 second. Ghana however, did manage to tie the game up, but it wasn't enough to keep John Brooks from scoring the game winning goal during the last few minutes of the match.
With a game this intense, everyone took to their Twitter's to talk about it.
We give to you some of the best celebrity tweets and reactions from the game.
Ellen DeGeneres tweets, "Go USA! Fastest goal in U.S. World Cup history in the #USAvsGHANA game. 32 seconds! It took me longer to look up where Ghana is."
