US made the biggest upset in tis tournament. After shocking African champions, Eygpt 3-0 to qualify to semi-final (kicking out world champions, Italy), they again shocked European champions, Spain 2-0 in the semi-final. Can they beat Brazil in the final provided Brazil beat South Africa in the semi final? Applause to US soccer team and the US man-of-match, No. 8 Clint Dempsey. "We had to pick our poison at times because they can do whatever they want with the ball. We said, 'You're not going to go through us. You're going to have to go around us.'"— USA goalkeeper Tim Howard on beating Spain in the semifinals.
yeah wtf!!! they nullified Torres and Villa effectively ~ stopped those killer passing game of Spains
they can't play xavi/alonso/fabregas all in the middle... it just doesn't work... either play xavi or fabregas... not both... i didn't even realize alonso was in the game till the last 10mins when he fired that blaze at howard... alonso got almost no touch with both xavi and fabregas on the pitch... Torres and Riera tried to do too much... although Riera looked pretty dangerous at times... and the bradley red card... bullshit...
^ and i hope that Brazil loses against America..hahaha they're losing because they want to keep fit for next year
cudnt believe spain lost!!!! was top in group stages n lost 2 USA!!! looks lyk its gna b brazil n use in da finals
Referee Decisions The U.S. has had an amazing run to the final despite some heavy-handed refereeing against them that must be questioned. Their players were red-carded thrice in 4 games. Do u think it's poor referee decisions? No, but I think the referee bet a lot on the teams with bigger odds and the world wanna c big teams qualify. But wat US team responded the referees' decisions by kicking out all the big teams from Europe and Africa. Can they do it against Brazil again in the final? Btw, i stil fancy Brazil to win the final by taking out US team with a smaller scores like 1-0, 2-1 or 2-0. However, anything could happen in the world of soccer.
jus watched da spain n south africa gme n spain won it in extra tym!!!! was expectin spain n brazil in da finals wud ave been a gud game but brazil shud beat US
did any1 see diawara's goal for south africa in the 93rd min to make it 2-2 in extra time, fuckin sweet shot
Brazil rallied back from two goals down to defeat the United States in the final and retain their Confederations Cup title. Woohoo! Biggest disappointment in this tournament is that Spain did not make it to the final but they still did well against South Africa although it's another comeback win.
Fuck man, I thought USA was gonna win it after they score the 2 points but cmon man, where's the blocks and defences?!
Brazil really played very well in that game relying not only from the players quality but also experience they have over USA. I read from the newspaper today saying that this Confederation Cup has a jinx, the winner of the cup wont be able to win the next world cup. Let us see later ...
