The improbable is Possible: US v Spain in Confederations Semis

ADVERTISEMENTS

Congratulations to Bob Bradley and the US Men's Soccer team for the most improbable run to the semifinals of the Confederations Cup tournament now taking place in South Africa as you could possibly imagine. Listless, unimaginative and uninspired in a 3-0 loss to Brazil on Thursday, one could have expected the team to mail in today's game against Egypt. After all, Brazil would need to defeat defending world champion Italy 3-0 just to give the Americans a shot at getting through. And if that happened, the Americans would have to take down the Pharaohs by a similar margin.

Bradley didn't rest any of his key players other than goalie Tim Howard, for whom Brad Guzan ably filled in. He believed in his team and his team responded with an inspired performance in beating Egypt 3-0 to earn the chance at taking on the world's number one ranked team, Spain in Wednesday semifinal. Brazil takes on host South Africa in the other one. Another improbable win and the Yanks could earn a much desired rematch with the Brazilians.
