Everybody's favourite parody account USA Soccer Guy was at his typically brilliant best on twitter tonight as he reacted to the action of Ireland's 4-1 friendly win over Team USA Men's National Team Soccer, thanks to goals from Anthony Pilkington, James McClean, and two from Robbie Brady.
Ireland sells millions of barrels of black stuff every year. That means that they're also gonna get to host a World Cup soon, right?

The description of Pilkington's dink as a "wedge-kick" was a particular highlight:
Goalshot for Ireland Soccer Club. Wedge kick over Hamid. Against the run of the plays as America have dominized so far. #luckoftheirish

Hand denial made by Hamid as the USMNT continue to goof around and not do so good at soccer. #IREUSA

Beckerman picks up the minor offense card after some Irish guy starts crying like a kid who just saw a real cute dog get euthanized. #soccer

As always, some people don't really understand twitter:

Guess the only reason Ireland is doing so good is so that Robbie Keane can't write a load of mean stuff about them next time he does a book.

Completion whistle. USMNT joke around for the 90 while Ireland enjoys the most historic moment in its sporting history. #soccer
