SOCCER NATION!

Congrats to you boys. I am pretty surprised myself. I thought after Brazil's crushing victory against the USA earlier in the cup, they were done. I am so amazed they pulled it off. Wow. Unbelievable. And what a game they played. So much passion and so much determination. You don't see the US national team play like this so often.

I am so looking forward to seeing Brazil beat South Africa and play the USA again. It will be a great match if it happens. I know it.

Enjoy the victory guys, you deserve it.

Now, for the Spaniard supporters, I have to say, this goes to show that you're good, but not perfect. Spain goes back to normal now, which is doing phenomenal during the cup and losing in the end. Hahahaha
 
Winning in football is all about scraping by the skin of your teeth/balls, often.

What he said. Let's not forget that a lot of times, the World Cup was decided just like that.

Plus, Brazil has been playing better than any other team in the cup, undeniably. We're the only ones who're unbeaten so far, still 100%. Scraping the skin of the balls or not, Brazil deserves to be in the final. Spain didn't.

Can't wait to watch the game Sunday. I'm excited about it. I am sure it'll be a great match.

And regarding the South Africa x Spain game Sunday morning, just watch it. Spain will lose again.
 
What has happened to Italy and Spain?

Italy have sucked for a while...ageing team....overrated players.

Spain have only just lost 1 game in 35-36. not a bad record really. They had a bad game and couldn't take their opportunities in the game vs the US.
That game reminded me of how Liverpool struggled against some teams in the EPL last season. I think Spain had 56%-44% possesion but couldn't break the US down despite being more dominant for a majority of the match. Howard had a great game in goal too. The US attacked well and took their chances.

And regarding the South Africa x Spain game Sunday morning, just watch it. Spain will lose again.

will be interested to see what sort of team Spain field...i'm sure Liverpool and Barca might be ringing up the national coach and having a word in his ear.


Where was this US side when Brazil and Italy was the opponent?

This has been a major issue for US football.....no consistency at all. They'll probably lose the final 5-0.
 
well we did not win it, but we did show that we can play with the big boys. This tournement has given me hope for next years World Cup.

and who knows maybe they played good enough that they might make it into the top 10 teams in the world, I dont know if the USA has ranked that high before
 
A fantastic 3-2 match! This is one of the best soccer matches I've ever watched! I was very proud of our American side, but congrats to the Brazilians for a magnificent comeback and a well-played match! I am SO ready for the World Cup.
The USA faces Mexico @ Azteca Stadium on August 12!
