USMNT advances, Twitter reacts

No surprise, but the Twitterverse was on fire last between the hours of 7 and 9pm ET. And it wasn't because Obama and Romney were about to talk foreign policy.

Nope, the topic at hand was a domestic affair. Presenting (some of) the best tweets from the USMNT's Hex-clinching win over Guatemala in KC, starting with a guy who just can't seem to get there this year:

Fulfilling their duties as gracious hosts, the (Sporting) Kansas City contingent weighed in postgame:

Great moment. And the road to Brazil continues. #USAvGUA twitter.com/SportingKC/sta…

And of course, you can't not end with this. Deuce, meet Deuce.
