United States 2 - Spain 0. No way! Oh yes anything is indeed possible. The Spanish are stunned. The United States punched their ticket into Sunday's final of the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup. Two hours ago, no one in their right frame of mind would pick United States to beat the #1 ranked team in the world. CONGRATULATIONS won't even do any justice, but one thing that was certain is that momentum has a lot to do with how a team bounces back in the face of an impossible feat. No matter what happens with the likely Brazil match up in the final, this shocking upset against Spain will be just fine. For Spain, all good things must come to an end, today is not a bad day for that to happen.The United States have done the unthinkable, but I still assert (from my previous blog) that it will take a divine intervention for Michael Jackson to become anything close to black.
Of course, the United States will have a lot to build on going into the World Cup next year, but even the biggest 'hater' in the world will admit that this is an excellent start. The Spanish oppression on the soccer field will come to an end, and the hands of an unlikely matchup. What a story?
