The Yanks cruised into the semifinal thanks to my Brian McBride's first and only international senior hat-trick.

9’
Frankie Hejduk’s cross deflects off Guillermo Garcia for McBride’s header.


11’
Chris Armas plays the ball over the top and Cobi Jones beats the offside trap with his run.

After collecting and rounding the keeper, the ball gets away from the midfielder and McBride pounces and fires home to double the lead.


21’
The hat-trick was completed after this beautiful move.

Landon Donovan wins the ball out to McBride. McBride gives it back to Donovan, who plays wide to Ante Razov.

The ball goes into Eddie Lewis, who beats the keeper and finds Donovan. Donovan lays it off to McBride for his third.


72’
Beasley finally getting a chance to stretch his legs after coming on at the break with this run down the left.

Beasley’s darting run from close to midfield sets up the chance for Razov to cap the scoring midway through the second half. 


Bring on Canada.
