USA BEATS SPAIN 2-0!

Incredible stuff, granted we're probably going to be destroyed by Brazil but it's nice to see we're better than our first two games.

this is the biggest surprise of the hole tournement! I never thought that USA would make it to the FINAL!

USA really surprised me, but tbh Spain did the same, only in a bad way This just wasn't their day, nothing was working for them, nor in defense, nor in offense. Lot of chances missed, first huge mistake by Capdevilla and goal. Casillas also could be blamed here. Second goal also after big mistake by Ramos. Anyway, Spain can only blame themselves and USA took advantage of their sloppy game.
Sad that Bradley made that stupid foul and will miss the final.

It's not bad for Spain to lose the game....Hope Spain can still play against Brazil though..

Brazil 1-0 SA. D.Alves scored the goal in the last 3 minutes.

Brazil beats the USA 3-2 after being down 2-0

If you told me a week ago we'd manage to get to the final at all, I'd have been shocked. Still really feel bad USA couldn't pull back to back upsets.

That said the last three games really gets me excited for the World Cup next year.

Firstly you need to get to WC it won't be that easy. I'm sure that USA will be between first 4 teams, cause T&T and Salvador are not too serious contenters to those places and IMO will stay in the bottom, but if USA will drop into 4th position and will have to play against S.Americas 5th team, it will be hell of match-up.
Regarding this tournament, USA was a pleasant surprise. They looked really good in all of their games, even in lost ones. The lack of experience played a big part in the final, also Brasil wasn't that hopeless like Spain and managed to convert their chances to goals. However, defensively USA impressed me with their discipline, capabilities to break oponents' attacks, but if they needs to attack and create, I mean to get a result, they lack creativiness in offense and are too predictable. It reminds me somehow Lithuania, which always looks way better when they are outsiders and plays without pressure on their shoulders.

Congrats to Brasil, even it's more friendly tournament, but I, as a fan, am really happy

Its a great preparation for USA, I'm looking forward to their scheduled friendlies in the future before the World Cup.
