Keller has some company

I know I'm a few days late on this, but I still need to say it... Kasey Keller now has some company in the panthenon of greatest games ever played by a US keeper after Chris Sietz's performance in the US-Brazil U-20 World Cup. The 2-1 win could have gone so many different ways. It could have been 2-0 US (the goal was almost a fluke for Brazil), or easily 4-2 Brazil (they had a ton of chances, most of which were stopped amazingly by Sietz). He commanded the defense well, made his plays, was agressive and stopped a lethal Brazilian attack. I think his contributions to this U-20 US team have been underrated considering all the press Adu is getting (not that it isn't warranted because he has been unbelievable in the last 2 games).

I completely agree with you on this. I have a tendency to heap praise on Adu and Altidore, but Seitz saved us on a bum leg in that Brazil game. The whole team has heart, but I agree, we should definitely be looking at Seitz to be the next big American keeper overseas.
