Did you ever think that the USA would play in the final of the confederations cup? or did you think they would beat Egypt or that they would drop Spain by two unreplied goals or did you think they would lead Brazil by two goals by half-time? If i have to answer any of the questions above, my answer would be a resounding no.
But the Americans have done very well in this confederations cup, beating Egypt and then thrashing Spain. They started quite well against the Brazilians and led by two goals at half-time, but then we all know Brazilians and what they can do. They fought back and won the game by 3 goals to 2.
Quite bitter for me to swallow is the fact that a little bit of hope for a change at the pecking order in world football. Would it not be nice for a lesser know footballing nation to win a major football tournament? I really feel for the Americans because they played very well in the first half, but really capitulated in the second.
Well, i have enjoyed every bit of the tournament and as it comes to an end, let’s stay with memory of a fine display by South Africa, Egypt, USA and of course Spain’s disappointing display.
Talking of Spain, they were really a shadow of the team that won the last European championships.
So what do you think, are we going to see a major upset at next year’s world cup? Your views.
