great game, deserved victory for brazil. nice to see the usa compete though, big improvement over the last few years for them. i went to one of their games a couple years ago and it was one of the weakest displays i have ever seen.

From GrahamPollCrackers on 606:
"If you saw Sepp Blatter kiss Kaka before the match, you would understand why he was given player of the tournament honours. Was he the best player? No, Luis Fabiano was. But Kaka was the favourite player."

Was on my drive home while the game was on. I have XM in the car. A lot of sports stations and none except for ESPN deportivo had the match on. WTF!!!!!!!!!!
Sunday afternoon, about 8 Sports stations discuss baseball schedules and @#$% like that. This was a huge game for the US and a huge improvement over the 3-0 last time. American ignorance is bliss I guess. I do ot see any better covrage for the next WC if not even the radio stations can keep you posted when they have absolutely NOTHING else to talk about, they even blabbered on on Michael Jackson and his impact, on a sports radio show, and nothing about soccer.

I was really hoping for a US win, it would have brought a lot of attention to team and really elevated the expectations for the world cup. Oh well, they just seemed to run out of gas towards the end, too bad. Regardless though, I think they will take a new found confidence from these past few games and hopefully they will have a good showing at the WC.

Wow. Regardless of the outcome, the USA has nothing to be ashamed of. They played really well this entire tournament. I am looking forward to the world cup next year.

For as bringing attention to the team the win against spain certainly did just that.
