FIFA Confederations Cup Final

USA 2 - Brazil 0 at the half.

J-burg, South Africa - this is the first time the USA has ever made it to the finals; Brazil has won the cup twice.

Nice to see a football fan – team USA acquitted themselves quite well in this game - but surely let one get away.

Some very good lessons and game/tournament experience should be gained by this squad (and coaches) from this game alone - all-in-all a great experience for the boys – and an entertaining match.

Hopefully they can make this kind of push in the World Cup.

It was a fun game to watch. The US went after the ball very well in the first half, but much to my chagrine started playing a defensive game way to early, and what ultimately cost them the game, in my opinion.

I was so happy to see them in a final. Let's see how they do next week at the next FIFA tournament. I think there are only 4 guys from this past week's roster, on the upcoming roster. Should be interesting.
