Euphoria swept across the city yesterday as the U.S. soccer team tied heavily favored England in one of the World Cup’s most anticipated matches.

The stunning 1-1 result sent delirious fans pouring out of bars across the five boroughs, waving American flags and chanting, “U-S-A!”

“That was just amazing,” crowed Christopher York, 24, an accountant who watched the game at Nevada Smith’s in Manhattan. “Words can’t describe it.”

Will Woods, 23, and dozens of other crazed U.S. fans took over the sidewalks on Third Ave. in the East Village, soaked in alcohol, but still ecstatic.

“I’m covered in beer,” hollered the American flag-draped Woods, a paralegal from the upper East Side. “It’s a great result for us. It’s important to know as Americans that the British consider this a loss.”

Similar celebrations broke out in Brooklyn.

“I’m glad we got a draw – a draw’s a win,” said Jesse Patch, 29, a freelance videographer who watched the game in Prospect Heights.

Not everyone was so pleased. Grim-faced Brits like Nick Willmore were a regular sight in the city yesterday.

“Every World Cup, we watch with anticipation, but England always chokes at the last minute,” said Willmore, 22, a medical student.

The U.S. got off to the worst possible start as England captain Steven Gerrard slotted home a neat pass from striker Emile Heskey just four minutes into the game.

The Americans pressed forward in the later stages of the half, but were denied several times by England’s hard-nosed defense.

The equalizer came in the 40th minute when England’s goalkeeper Robert Green made one of the biggest blunders in World Cup history.

Midfielder Clint Dempsey spun around Gerrard and let rip an apparently harmless left-footed shot from 25 yards out. The ball bounced off Green’s hands and trickled into the net, setting off pandemonium across the city.

“That was amazing,” hollered Rich Fernandez, 26, of the Bronx, from the bar at Nevada Smith’s.

Fernandez then took a dig at Green.

“If the British goalkeeper were an American, he’d be fifth-string,” he riffed.

In Brooklyn, more than 200 soccer fans filled Vanderbilt Ave. near Dean St. to take in the hotly anticipated match on a giant screen.

Others hung out of their windows to cheer on the underdog Americans.

Paul Cake, a 23-year-old British tourist, wandered into the euphoric crowd and couldn’t believe the energy.

“I didn’t think soccer was big in the U.S., but this is epic,” Cake said.

The rivalry reached the highest levels of government.

Before the game, President Obama called British Prime Minister David Cameron and bet a beer on an American victory.

It’s unclear if any brews will be exchanged as a result of the tie.
