Hi everyone!Today Brazil won the Confederations Cup against USA. The match was really interesting as in the first half USA was winning with a 2-0, but in the second half Brazil woke up and showed its magic and made 3 goals. The American goalkeeper (Tim Howard) made a difference as he saved many shots.
Dempsey made the first goal of the final at just 10 minutes. Then Landon Donovan made a goal in a kickback. Brazil started playing their game in the second half. Without even a minute of the 2nd half Luis Fabiano put the ball in the net. He again headed the ball into the net for the draw in a wonderful play of Kaka. Lucio, the Brazilian captain made the goal of the victory again with a heading. This was just 6 minutes before going to extra time. So the match was really exciting as both teams played well, one in the first half and the other in the second.
Kaka won the golden ball as the best player of this tournament.
Before all this, in the semifinals, I was totally surprised when USA won against Spain as it was my favorite for winning the Cup. Then in the 2nd semifinal: Brazil vs. South Africa, I thought that Brazil would easily win but the match was really tough. Brazil passed to the final with a last minute goal of Dany Alves in a direct free kick.
Well, now let’s wait for South Africa 2010. 346 days for the World Cup to start.
Spain is my favorite team to win the World Cup but let’s see what happens.
