Brazil fans, don't get too cocky and americans don't get too down, we only know this game for 15 years now. 20 years from now will be a different story. every world power comes to an end, so will brazil. the US has to be patient with this slow ascend to the top. we are almost there.

Congratulations Brazil! You deserved to win. I'm proud of how the USA did this year. Also I agree with fleshkilla99 100%. What do you say when your team is doing so much better than expected, but you see he makes obvious mistakes too? I wish the USA had won, it probably would have made the front page of the sports section in my city's newspaper. The last two victories were on page4 and page 2. Even beating the #1 team in the world will not get the front page, instead the cover stories were college baseball finals, nba draft predictions, offseason football trades and MLB :( Maybe it's good to save some luck for next year. Congrats Brazil and you get to go home to such beautiful women too.

Brazil was superior to USA all the time. But two isolated plays gave the americans two gols on the first half. But the five times world champions confirmed their superiority and made three amazing goals on the second part becoming the first three times champions team of this tourment! Congratulations Dunga, Luis Fabiano, Kaká, Lúcio and Júlio César. You were fantastic!!

I love the US team when 2010 comes we'll show the world how fantastic we are!!!

Well done USA for taking it to Brazil and really showing some class. Early goals are great but at the same time give that much more time for equalisers. I hope the USA have not peaked a year too early and can make a showing like this at the WC (provided your not in Australia's group)!

What a turn around! I kept telling myself, it is not over until is over, and so it was, not over until we turned the match around. By the end, the world is as it is supposed to be, we have won, again! I do give USA a lot of credit for the 1st half, that second gol, what a nice counter attack! Also for an very good performance in the tournament, outqualifying the Italians and beating Spain. CONGRATS TO ALL BRAZILIANS! WE DID IT! AGAIN!

mpbaker38 The US squad played, basically, on counter-attacks which resulted in a 2-0 fierce advantage. Even so the Brazilian team was playing very well. The US defenders are quite good and did everything within their power to undermine the Brazilian individual talented till they were broken throughout the 2nd half. It was an awesome match!
28/06/2009 at 23:41Unitontime (Brazil)
Brazil will always be the best team in the world, the United States would certainly win this tournament, but only if there are no THE GOLDEN SHIRTS, The United States is always the best in everything they do, but there are things that are unique in the world. Brazil also can present to the world THE GOLDEN SHIRTS. GOD WANTED THAT!

FootGeniy: I think Brazil can win the 2010 World Cup without any corrections to their central defense. In all honesty, they hadn't conceded a solitary goal in three straight matches coming into this game. They got surprised by a fast and energetic American side that was hungry to score goals in the first half.
28/06/2009 at 23:39BrazUSA (USA)
Brazil won, as a Brazilian I am happy, but I have to recognize that the USA made the Brazilian victory looks even better by a great performance by the Americans. The USA is improving by leaps and bounds and I am excited with the idea of having another soccer superpower from the Americas (besides Brazil and Argentina). No, Brazil did not play badly, the USA just played great and at the end the Brazilian victory was hard and worthwhile.
28/06/2009 at 23:37Ylareum (USA)
Hopeful optimism turned to crushing disappointment in this match. The USA team in the first half was not he same team in the second. It was a well deserved win for Brazil. Hopefully the USA learned a great deal and will come back a little better for the World Cup.

Fleshkilla99: I agree with your assertion that Sacha Klejstan should be dropped from the roster for a time. Although, it could have just been a bad tournament for him. He had the red card in group play and I don't think he even saw any playing time up until this game. He's a young player and should be given some more time to develop. With that being said, it was a poor decision by Bob Bradley to put him in for this final when we needed to produce goals. If he's going to put a goal scorer in that is young, he should have opted for Freddy Adu. Not to open a proverbial can of worms regarding Adu, but I still think he needs to be starting in these type of games.

I didn't get to see the first half, but the US didn't look too good in the second. From what I hear they were playing beautifully in the 1st. Is that true?
28/06/2009 at 23:34FootGeniy (Russia)
Yeah yeah yeah!!! central defence mistakes corrected and Brazil is the 6 time world cup winner! what do you think?
28/06/2009 at 23:34Danavenger (Brazil)
The confederations cup this year has been full of surprises. The North American team is quite skillful, no doubt about that, and their game should ascend in the years ahead. As someone said before, those players are relatively young and could increase the quality of their game as a team becoming, as a consequence, a big headache in the years to come. On the other hand, Brazil is a machine. Brazilian players with great talent spring up every year and the level of this current team has gained them both respect and important titles. I believe next year, during the World Cup, Brazil will be playing their best again. Go get them, BRAZIL!
28/06/2009 at 23:31Fleshkilla99 (Jamaica)
so much usa hate! lol esp from america jr. (canada). Anyway, there should have been subs by the US after brasil made their subs or even before. The coach left the tired player out there too long and brasil stormed back. Sasha is a horrible player and should not be on the USMNT.

but im not happy with robinho´s performance.. he can do alot better than that,usually nilmar is playing alot better and should have a chance as well as graffiti

Brazil is Brazil & end of story!

carloseaf: I have a friend that I play football with and he is from Brazil. He is so talented! I must say that the Brazilian style (Samba) is so great to watch. I definately think that Brazil has to be the favorites going into the 2010 competition in my opinion at least. USAsoccer91: I'm wondering the exact same thing my friend! To answer your question, Canada has only qualified for ONE World Cup in their history (1986). I don't believe they have any continental titles to speak of either. The members on here that are from Canda that are ditching the U.S. are probably not Canadian. If they are then they have no room to talk.
28/06/2009 at 23:26Green76 (USA)
I was born and raised in the US and I love soceer. The US national team is my favorite team in any sport. My two sons play and so does my daughter. It is the most popular sport in my city. We want the 2018 World Cup in the USA and we want to go for our 2nd world cup then.
28/06/2009 at 23:26Danavenger (Brazil)
Brazil, once more, at the very top. When when it comes down to football, nobody stands a chance. And they try, and they try, and they try... but they can`t get no Satisfaction.
28/06/2009 at 23:21BigBoss1964 (USA)
If El Salvador can do what USA did on in finals with Brazil, then El Salvador will stand a chance against other teams as well.

umb_soprano, a weak brazilian team and, champion again !!! For next year, when the cup get started, the 0,1% chance becomes something about 100%. Don´t be so jealousy, Brazil is Brazil !!!!

Kasatik...you obviously never saw Tab Ramos play on a consistent basis. The ONLY reason not to mention Ramos with History's greats is because he didn't have the surrounding pieces to take a USA team deep into a WC tournament. Otherwise, he would be a household name.
28/06/2009 at 23:20USAsoccer91 (USA)
Why are so many Canadians ditching the US? What has Canada ever done?
28/06/2009 at 23:20pentacampeao (Germany)
To the US fans,CONGRATS,great first half,BRAVE game.and of course,congrats to my brazil,specially kaka and luis fabiano,they took the responsability to themselves today and thats what great players are suppose to do.
28/06/2009 at 23:18suazo_2010 (USA)
Great job USA!!! Yes you might have choked bad after being up 2-0, but you proved that you are ready for the world class teams. It was your first ever final and you played a wonderful match. And great job on the win Brazil! But still, imagine the world if USA would have won... I might have cried even more...
28/06/2009 at 23:17braxtonrob (USA)
Brazil should not be #1 yet; Spain should still be #1 come July 1st, IMO. USA should go from #14 to at least #11, and South Africa should move up. If the world doesn't expect the USA to improve on their form by next year, they are in for a shocker! You watch; any USA fan (that watches ALL the matches we play) knows what I'm talking about!
28/06/2009 at 23:17clintrotc (USA)
kasatik: good point, and I wish I could see the stat sheet for the first half only as well. I'm not saying that the U.S. utterly dominated the first half and had their way with Brazil but neither did Brazil just pummel the U.S. either. In my humble opinion I would at least declare it a wash. I think it was fairly level in the first half between both teams. The United States was very energetic and made the Brazilians pay by their complacency. I don't think Brazil really challenged the U.S. until the latter stages of the first half.
28/06/2009 at 23:11Gabrieli23 (Brazil)
Pravo13, I can't even imagine how soccer can be a secondary sport in a country. Do you think USA is (or was) not a great team because americans are not soccer fans OR americans are not soccer fans because USA is not a great team? I must confess my heart was beating fast in the first half of the match. I couldn't believe my eyes. You played so intelligently, in a strategic way, that I thought the game was over for us.
28/06/2009 at 23:11Kasatik (USA)
Clintrotc: funny you say that. Back, I think in 1998 (WC France) ABC ran a special about the team in which they put Tab Ramos in the same sentence with Pele, Bekkenbauer and Kruyff.That's disrespectful to the history of the game and frankly annoying. It does seem like many people around the world let politics get in the way of the game when it comes to the US team.
