USA To Face Brazil

The USA has reached the Finals of the Fifa Confederation Cup after beating Spain 2-0 after two goals by Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey. There they will face Brazil who beat host South Africa today 1-0 with a beautiful shot off a free kick in the 88th minute by substitute Daniel Alves.

The game between the USA and Brazil would normally be a no-brainer for analysts, Brazil wins. But it's not the same this time. After a resounding 3-0 loss against Brazil in the Group Stage the Americans look poised to make a better impression, especially following the emotional high from the stunning victory over ranked #1 Spain. Brazil itself looked rocky against South Africa just managing to get away (and unlike USA-Spain it was back and forth the whole game) in the 88th minute. The key for the USA will be getting back on Brazil's well known counter-attacks. The US will be playing without coach Bob Bradley's son Micheal Bradley, who was issued a red card in the 86th minute in the game against Spain.

The game will be shown on ESPN at 2:00 ET on Sunday. So go to church (if you must) but hurry home and watch our boys attempt to win their first ever Fifa Confederation Cup. If they manage to do it they may easily be known as the best American Team we have ever seen.

Good Luck USA!
