Brazil, not giving up

The USA with all the upsets and ubelieveable luck headed into the FIFA Confederation Finals with a mindset of, "We have nothing to lose, all the pressure is on Brazil."

Well it turned out to be that was true, the U..S came out looking to put pressure on Brazil as they striked in the first 10 minutes going up 1-0.

At the 27th minute, the U.S. struck again with a Landon Donovan goal.

Heading into the halftime up 2-0, U.S. finally looked like they were a legit team that you had to give respect to.

Without hesitation Brazil came into the second half and scoring quickly in the first minute of playing.

Up 2-1, the the U.S. looked like they were loosing momentum of the game.

20 minutes later, Luis Fabinano scores his second goal of the game for brazil, tying the game.

With a 2-2 tie, U.S. lost all the momentum and looked very nervous as game continued.

As the game had 15 minutes left, Brazil scored their third goal in the second half off a corner kick.

Overall, U.S. looked so good in the first half, limiting Brazil's shot on goals and keeping Brazil's defense busy with their two goals.

Brazil never gave up at any second of the game, coming in the second half to score a quick one, after that first goal for Brazil, U.S. lost the game. I felt like Brazil regain their confidence and took over the game and played their game.

U.S has surpised many countries now, going into the FIFA World Cup next year, I think U.S. will be recieving respect from these teams like: Italy, Germany, Brazil and Spain.

Congratulations USA, you guys made a great run in the confederation cup even though people gave you guys no chance, including myself. You have gained much respect from the world and of your nation.
