The U.S. Men's National Team is in a big hole in the semifinals thanks to a gorgeous free kick from Lionel Messi.

A little more than 30 minutes into the match, Lionel Messi drew a hard foul in the open field by Chris Wondolowski, a foul that earned Wondolowski a yellow card. 

Messi took advantage of the free kick, placing it perfectly into the upper-right corner for a 2-0 lead.
