Confederations Cup Final: So Close yet So Far

I never expected the United States to do the unthinkable again and beat Brazil after knocking off Spain, but after going up 2-0, it feels much more devastating knowing the team had a legitimate chance to actually win. Still, nice job to the boys for making it this far and performing well in their first ever FIFA cup final. However, I would like to congratulate Clint Dempsey for winning the Bronze Ball award (third best player in the tournament, after Kaka and Luis Fabiano) and Tim Howard for winning the Golden Gloves award as the best goalie (and he let in 3 goals in 3 separate games...and still played out of his skin). But in the end, Brazil was simply too good. We can play with them, but they are so much more talented and have game changers at every position.

Roll on next summer!
