Gooooooool! USA! Clint Dempsey! USA 1, Brazil 0. Just 10 minutes in though. Big save by Tim Howard.

Watching this game reminds me of the late Steve Gilliard. Gilly and I "talked" soccer (by e-mail) all the time.

25 minutes, still 1-0 US. But US giving up way too much space. They have stopped going forward. Don't like it. Howard having to make save after save.

GOOOOOL!!! Donovan on a brilliant counter!! US 2, Brazil 0. At the Half - US 2, Brazil 0. Howard has been brilliant in goal.

Brazil scores in the first minute of the 2nd - 2- 1 USA, 30 minutes of regular time left. Brazil threatening to equalize almost constantly. In fact, Us gets a break, ball was across the line but goal for Brazil not signalled. US completely on their heels.

Howard saves the day again at the 70 minute mark. Still 2-1 US. Equalizer. Kaka on a great run. Rebound knocked in.It seemed inevitable. 2-2.

The collapse is complete. Brazil scores off a corner. 3-2 Brazil. FINAL.

    by Team USA (of course better in the first half than the second).  So close...but in the words of Brandy (yes, Brandy), Almost doesn't count.

    I'm proud of them!

    I think 'collapse' is way too harsh a word. (5.00 / 1) (#8)

    Besides, I believe 'collapse' is copyrighted by the New York Mets every summer.

    ABC was too cheap (late?) to spring for 60Hz cameras in Jo'burg.

    Watching the kids at our tutoring picnic kick a soccer ball (baseball rules) convinced me at least in CA professional soccer has to be a winner.  These kids can kick!
