I want to take this time to salute the US National Team and their performance at the FIFA Confederations Cup. They upset the world's current #1 team Spain 2-0 in the semi-finals and lost a heart breaking final to Brazil 3-2. They were leading the South American giants 2-0 at halftime.
In the group stages they lost to Italy and Brazil in their first two matches and needed a 3-0 victory over Egypt in order to advance. They magically pulled off the feat and went on to play some impressive soccer.
Even though Brazil came from behind to win the final, I was definitely proud to be an American soccer player after watching our national team play these past 2 weeks. Our nation is absolutely making strides to becoming a soccer nation.
