Yesterday i saw a game that had Spain written all over it except for brief moments in between when USA squeezed some minutes for themselves and scored two fabulous goals.
Several things happened:
- Spain's unbeaten record of 35 games came to an end. Seems apt as they share this record with the best team in world football i.e.Brazil.
- Spain's record of consecutive wins was halted at 15.
- The last appearance by a USA team in a major final was the Regional CONCACAF cup in 2007 which they won. In international competitions they seems to do well in the confederation cup as they have third place finishes in 1992 and 1999. This is their first appearance in the finals.
Spain played fabulous free flowing attacking football but failed to penetrate the strong and dogged defense put up by USA.
Bad luck Spain. Thank you for the entertainment.
