As you can see from the photos, several of the players who were part of the memorable run at the FIFA Confederations Cup made their way to L.A. to be a part of the show. Jonathan Spector, Carlos Bocanegra, Jonathan Bornstein, Sacha Kljestan, Clint Dempsey, Ricardo Clark and Jozy Altidore are pictured above (from left to right), and they were joined by Landon Donovan on stage to accept the award.
Beating out other nominees Mine That Bird (50-1 shot to win the Kentucky Derby), Oregon State (beating then-#1 ranked USC last fall) and the Tampa Bay Rays (winning the American League Championship Series), the U.S. Men’s upset against Spain was chosen through online balloting from sports fans across the nation.It is the first ESPY for the U.S. Men’s National Team; the U.S. Women won the Outstanding Team award in 2000 for their performance in winning the 1999 Women’s World Cup.
Looks like it was a fun night for everybody, and we can't wait to watch the show when it airs on Sunday!

Well DESERVED GENTLEMEN! Let's repeat it in 2010. We'll be there in person to support you!
Exactly how it should have been.
Well done, guys!
Damn! Carlos Looks So Hot!!!
Great Job Guys! You Earned It!
Well deserved! Congrats guys! Keep up the excellent work! About time the USMNT gets recognized. BTW you all were looking sharp in those suits!
What was with Dempsey's top sider shoes? A fashion statement or did he forget his good shoes at the hotel?
Congrats guys! and wow you all looked great!
Looking at other pictures, it appears that at least Sacha and Jozy (possibly a couple others) are wearing the same lapel pin, which looks like a kangaroo. Any significance?
congrats to the guys.
looks like rico is one laid back dude (off the field).
Congrats to our U.S. Men!
Y'all totally deserve it!
@Rebecca, without seeing lapel pin in the photos, my guess would be the pin if for the Jimmy V Foundation, which the ESPY's are a big fundraiser for.
