I disagree completely. If you would have told me that the US would be tied with Brazil in a final with less than 10 minutes to go, I'd have told you were crazy. Add to that the fact that the game wasn't scoreless and I'm even more in shock.
No matter what happened yesterday, that was a win for US Soccer. No pain involved whatsoever. That's probably the last FIFA Final I'll ever see the US team partcipate in my lifetime, and I couldn't be more proud of their performance.
two goals from open play against brazil is pretty amazing for the u.s.
5 Things we Learned from the Confederations Cup
3. Don't moan about the vuvuzelas
"Those African trumpets?" Xabi Alonso said with a look of genuine disgust. "They make a terrible noise. I don't think it's a very good idea to have them on sale outside the grounds. Here's a piece of advice for Fifa: they should try to ban those things. It's not distracting but that noise is a bit annoying."
It seems like an innocent enough comment. Why, after all, shouldn't Alonso complain if something irks him? But it prompted fury among South African fans and was, it seems, part of the reason why the home crowd got behind the US in their semi-final victory over Spain. "South Africa is a noisy country," blasted a leader in the Daily Sun. "Foreigners should get used to it." A letter in the same paper, meanwhile, accused Alonso of being a modern-day conquistador.
You may know that the idea they're connected to the myth that baboons are killed by loud noise is farcical. You may know that they've only really been around for four or five years. You may despair of people who tell you that they're part of African football (they're not: I've been to three African Cups of Nations and heard the drumming of the Beninois and the Ivorians, the trumpets and trombones of the Nigerians, even the banjo-playing of Ali, the grinning and omnipresent Tunisian, but I'd never heard a vuvuzela until a fortnight ago). You may be driven slowly insane by them. But it's probably best not to mention it.

And I'll add #6 - the US is A LOT better than anybody thought, and that includes many Americans, myself included.

Actually, Johannesburg is because it's higher than Denver, but Cape Town and Durban (where I'm considering going in 2010) are rather mild.
Manchester United is delighted to announce that it has completed the signing of Antonio Valencia from Wigan on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
The 23 year-old Ecuador international has played 34 times for his country, scoring four goals.
Sir Alex Ferguson said:
"Antonio is a player we have admired for some time now, having spent the last two years in the Premier League with Wigan. I am sure his pace and ability will make a significant contribution to the team."
Antonio Valencia said:
"Joining Manchester United is a dream come true for me. I have enjoyed my time at Wigan, but I am thrilled to have the chance to challenge for the biggest honours in club football here.
"Playing in front of 76,000 fans alongside players like Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs will be an amazing experience. I can?t wait to get started."

When will they ever learn that buying the best players does not make a very good football squad? It takes cohesion….
