Why did I write two different world, soccer and football? Yes, because it is the same. US Soccer team made a surprised when they beat Spain in the Confederation Club in Egypt. They beat Spin two goals to none.
Well, you can say that they were lucky. Remember when they got beat by Italy 3-0? Although in the end Italy was beat by Brazil, I still think that Italy should be the champ.
Now, the final match is between US vs Brazil or other team.
The news :
Finally, the U.S. men’s national team’s long-standing advertising slogan titled “Don’t Tread On Me” can be worn proudly – and accurately.
After all too often curling up into a ball and pleading for mercy against world powers, Bob Bradley’s team threw off its shackles on Wednesday night to deliver one of the greatest results in U.S. soccer history.
Written off going into the Confederations Cup and ridiculed after blowout losses in their first two games, somehow Bradley’s players found the will and the way to defeat Spain 2-0 on Wednesday and clinch a place in Sunday’s championship game of South Africa’s 2010 World Cup warmup event.
Somewhere in that wondrous and diverse land, this collection of players from clubs all around Europe and North America found a common understanding. Out of the ashes of a 3-0 defeat to Brazil that resembled champions against children came the most improbable of revivals. Last Sunday’s 3-0 victory over Egypt sparked some confidence, but even that improved performance gave little indication of what was to come.
Virtually the same group of players was dreadful against Brazil and outclassed by Italy. The tactics were not drastically different, either. But the mindset was a world apart. From the outset, the U.S. proved to Spain that it would not be bowed, even against a team ranked the best on the planet. The Americans attacked hard and early and set some seeds of doubt into the minds of an opponent that could have been forgiven for expecting an easy ride.
