The US had an almost impossible outcome on Sunday to advance to the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup in South Africa. As a warm up to next summers World cup, the US didnt look so good losing to Italy 3-1 and Brasil 3-0 in its first two games. Heading into the final game of the group round, the US needed to beat Egypt by 3+ goals, and have Italy lose by 3 goals (I believe w/o scoring also). Final scores: USA 3 Egypt 0 and Brasil 3 Italy 0.
This put the US through, their prize? Only the #1 ranked team in the world...Spain (a country yours truly will be visiting this summer). Fernando Torres, and David Villa to name a few will be a HANDFUL for the Americans.
The old saying in sports is that no game is won on paper, and for the US thats a good thing. They will need to play out of their minds and have a little luck if they are to beat the Spanish.
The game will take place tomorrow at 2:30pm Eastern Standard Time.
Predictions:
Brain: Spain 3 USA 0
Heart USA 2 Spain 1
Bring it home boys!
