It says this match was just an international friendly btw
 
Too bad bradley got a red. It'll be hard for the USA to play without him. Whomever they play.


EDIT: Aside from that though: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH USA!!!
 
Wow i'm speechless i knew it wouldn't be easy for Spain to win, but to loose like this? The US deserved it imo (even with two polemic "penalties" Larrionda missed), i admire the mentality of this team and it's obvious why they dominate CONCACAF in the present.

Another surprise with South Africa? Nah, but anything is possible it seems o_O

I honestly think I went crazy when they went up 1-0, then I had a feeling it was locked up once they got that second goal. 35 match unbeaten streak for Spain = over
 
With yesterday's unbelievable outcome in the back of my mind, I wouldn't put it past South Africa to beat Brazil. They're big, strong and athletically class -- Brazil's technical players may be overpowered!

Still, I think Brazil will win 3-1.
 
Everyone see Brazil only just won, great free kick from Alves but I feel sorry for South Africa they defended so well and I wanted them to win the whole thing since I have family from there.
 
I wanted to see Alves and Maicon on each flank, even though it comes at the expense of forcing one of them on the left side; both are naturally right-backs. I hope Dunga will field them both for the final on Sunday.

Anyone seen United's new kit, by any chance? It looks good.
 
The Brazilians had a huge ball control edge, but Tim Howard came up huge in the first half and the US took advantage of several opportunities. That's what happened.

However, it only took Brazil ONE minute to get one back; are they coming back now?
