Brazil 3 - USA 2, Closely contested

[oidicle]

What an upset for the americans, it's not easy to achieve a second place in these events, they beat strong teams to get to where they are, teams like italy, spain, etc, they'd never come this far before in soccer, I don't think they imagined they could get that far.... Even though they lost, they've outperformed and exceeded a lot of expectations...

Big-ups to them

It should have been 4-2, that was clearly a goal after the reply was shown. I thought the US had no shot, but they made it interesting in the first half, but I had a feeling they were going to lose when Brazil scored so quickly in the 2nd half.

Your lucky, how embarrassing it would have been
great match!!!

USA has a great time guys... you should be proud....

Yeah it would have been quite embarassing to lose to the US, who is(ehem, was) virtually unknown in the soccer scene, but sure enough Brazil lived up to their rep. and with not much effort(c'mon, don't u agree) turned things around; 1,2 & 3 just like that(call it experience or whatever).... I have to say that I'd have been sad if Brazil had lost, because I was with them on this one.... Good match overall, lots of spectacle, it wasn't the boring 1-0 or even 3-0, each side scored and gave it's best.

This just proves that nothin' is over until the fat lady sings or the whistle is blown...

 

[Iknewitwin7]

Yeah , I hear ya. I live in the US but my parents are Portuguese, and I always have followed Portugal and Brazil, because the US doesn't promote futball here enough, we have to many American sports, and no one is interested here. So I had to root for the US, but Brazil winning doesn't bother me. I'm just glad it wasn't Italy ...LOL

 

[oidicle]

LOL, yeah...

 

[96accord]

I watched the beginning and saw the U.S score 2 goals and then stopped watching since I had some stuff to do and next thing I know it's 3-2 and they lose..

 

[oidicle]

Ouch, that's gotta hurt a little, I think you were like WTF, what on earth... How come.... Jeesus...

Ya definitely should have been 4-2. That one goalie block was like 6ft inside the poles lol.

And ya it was a good game until the end. I'd like to say brazil beat us squarely. Although brazil did have a good team, but really, the USA lost because of Fatigue. They were all out of shape, tired and just could not keep up with Brazil.

if you look at the second half stats, usa:brazil had like a 1:10 goal attacks. They never let up, and we were too tired to be able to stop them.

 

[oidicle]

Could be, yeah, but I think that's where the factor of experience steps in....

The US did well. But despite the 2 goals, Brazil won easily, just moved up a gear and bang 1,2,3,(4). Honestly I don't think the "big" teams had their heart in it - Spain, Italy beaten!
It's a bit of a Mickey Mouse contest but does show the improvements that the U.S., Egypt, even Iraq have made. But think of it: Iraq won't be in the world Cup, Egypt are struggling to get there, New Zealand unlikely to make it through and qualifiers are based on year old results ...

I don't think this is the reason, really not..
