What Could Be America's Biggest Soccer Match Ever

Today is the final of the FIFA Confederation Cup between the USA and Brazil.

The Americans have never won a FIFA tournament. This is the first time they’ve even made it to a final. The United States has beaten Brazil only once in 14 tries, and that 1-0 victory came in Los Angeles in the semifinals of the 1998 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Think back to a week ago, when the USA played Brazil. The Highlights are below.

The USA suffered a 3-0 beatdown at the hands of Brazil.

The USA will have to try to beat Kaka, Robinho and Luis Fabiano, some of the World's best players, and they will have to do it without Michael Bradley, who was sent off with a red card in the final minutes of the USA's 2-0 victory over Spain.

This Could Be America's Biggest Soccer Match Ever, and I can't wait to see it later today!

The USA Is Incredibly, Moving On In the FIFA Confederations Cup

It seemed like an impossible Scenario.

For the USA to move on in the FIFA Confederations Cup, the USA had to beat Egypt by three goals and Brazil had to beat Italy by three goals.

Incredibly, both Scenarios happened.

The USA played with a lot of heart. Thay played the kind of match USA Soccer fans had been wanting, begging. Charlie Davies, Michael Bradley and Clint Dempsey combined for the USA's three goals, and the USA beat Egypt 3-0.
Check out the highlights from that match below!


For Brazil and Italy, it was a tale of two fortunes. Contrast Luis Fabiano, who scored two goals for Brazil, with Andrea Dossena, who ended scoring an Own goal to complete Brazil's 3-0 Drubbing of the 2006 World Cup Champions.
Watch the highlights below!


The USA will play Spain on Wednesday.
