U.S. runner up in Confederations Cup - Brazil victorious

Remember this soccer miracle in the semi-final a few days ago? It almost happened again, but this time in the final. The United States led Brazil 2-0 at the end of the first half in the final today, but Brazil exhibited its world class form and rallied in the second half to score three unanswered goals and win the tournament. Thus the final score was 3-2 in Brazil's favor.

They had to work hard for it, but the "jogo bonito" or beautiful game as it is called was abundant in the second half, proving the Brazilians to be the juggernaut they are reputed to be. Congratulations to Brazil for their victory and their third Confederations Cup title. Congratulations also to the U.S. squad for a great showing. Finally, great job by South Africa hosting the tournament.

The U.S. had it in their hands and let it slip away. Still t was a good showing for them.
