Brazil win Confederations Cup

Brazil yet again win the Confederations cup.

What really surprised me about this tournament though was how well the USA team actually played. I was really surprised how good they are considering how average most of the MLS games are (well the few i actually have gotten to see - whats with the lack of tv coverage guys....?).

Unfortunately after the first goal quickly in the second half by Brazil it was just a matter of time.

You have to admit though Brazil play like butter, they just seem to slide in to the penalty area anytime they really wanted to - it's almost like they play serious for about 15 minutes and the other 75 they are just playing with you letting you think you are winning.

The commentator said a really interesting stat about how 90% (or something like that) of the games Brazil win are by a 1 goal lead...yep they do just enough to win and thats it.
World Cup is another chance, plenty of time to train until then.

Thinking we might set up a special version of http://www.liveworldcupchat.com/ for the 4 weeks in June 2010 though haven't decided yet. (basically it would be the same as our http://www.livebaseballchat.com/ application).


Cheers,
Dean
