USA Versus Brazil Live Thread
Time For The Ultimate Test [USA Versus Brazil Live Thread]
All right everyone, it doesn't get any bigger than this. The US soccer team, after whipping Egypt 3-0, then beating world #1 Spain 2-0, now finds itself in the final against perennial powerhouse Brazil. The same Brazil that beat them badly earlier in the tournament. Although I think playing Brazil again is intimidating, all the US soccer guys have to do is remind themselves "Hey, wait a second, we just beat the #1 team in the world. We can do this."

Some people think that if the US beats Brazil today, it'll change the way Americans view soccer here in the country. I don't know if that's true or not, but I'm happy to see what the repercussions will be should we win.

Personally, I think people are already taking more notice of the US soccer team, but to really push soccer ahead, they have to do well in the World Cup. And I will be rooting them on the whole way.

Enjoy the game, chat it up here, and of course, go USA.

I just want to see the US come out and take the play to Brazil like they did the first half against Spain.  The first time these two teams played, the US played in a shell and Brazil was in control from the outset.  Only after they scored a couple of goals did they relent and the US was able to get some quality looks.

I've been flipping through this and Cards/Twins (Morneau 3-run HR was sweet), before the game starts, and I haven't seen any skipping yet.

Tim Howard is also playing out of his mind again, too. It's great to see him playing so well.

Wow. Brazil just got robbed of that goal. That clearly past the goal line & Howard was inside & past the goal line when he cleared that ball. This would be a different game if it was 2-2.

Great game. Brazil made the necessary adjustments at halftime. Plus I think Brazil's first goal which came in under 1 minute of the second took some air out of the US side. As I believe they felt a bit overwhelmed at how fast that goal came. And the US Defense was dead tired & couldn't defend against Brazil & their attack. This was a tough win for Brazil. The US played a good game. They have nothing to be ashamed of. If they continue playing like this they will contend for the World Cup. Meaning they could reach the Final. Not just qualify for the 2nd round.

Dont question me on my dedication as a soccer fan, Im not the one who jmps on the bandwagon after the US pulls off 1 win on a top 10 team. Funny how no one knows they existed, then SUDDENLY everyone thinks they are a fan all of the sudden. At least I was educated to know better and didnt get mixed up in all the hype..............noob.

now hold on here. ive watched US soccer since the 2002 world cup. Given that i am NOT offended by people suddenly being a fan. LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR NOOB, IN ORDER FOR SOCCER TO THRIVE IT WILL NEED THE "BANDWAGONERS" TO GIVE IT A BOOST. For you to call people band wagoners for a national team is just flat out stupid as hell. You should be happy soccer is growing not calling people out for band wagoning. I played soccer in HS and it was my life so as a dedicated person to the sport I would rather see it grow so we can put a better product on the field than you calling people band wagoners and getting all self righteous about being a "true fan" get over yourself guy.
