@ m3arvk: Good so I'm not the only one who thought that about Altidore. Idk if it was due to exhaustion or lack of desire but he seemed done halfway through the second half. Good game nonetheless
@ OP: Its not the loss in the 50's that motivates you, its some sort of magic that allows you guys to find the right play at the right time to score the necessary goals. My dad always tells me there are three laws in life:1). You are going to die eventually2). No matter what you do there is always someone better3). The Brazilians always find a way to win
I think the real benefit of getting to the finals of the Confed cup is that it will hopefully spur further interest in the US soccer league and thus bring fresh talent to the national side. It was a good game filled with more than a few very interesting plays from both sides. Brazil might have won the day but USA made them blink :)
As a fan of the Seleçao, I found it quite entertaining. And, it must be said: Football won this game. Even in the first half, it was mainly the Brazilians playing and the US reacting. The second half was a domination.
Final Result: Brazil 4 USA 2.You can hope all you want, But Brazil will be in the final of WC2010 with Argentina!The two BEST TEAMS on the Planet and always have been! And always will be.
