Spain miss out on new world record

[Panda]

Spain have missed out on setting a new world record of 36 international matches unbeaten by losing 2-0 to the USA in the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup. Spain had won their previous 15 games going into the match.

The USA will play the winners of the other semi-final between Brazil and hosts South Africa.

According to a facebook conversation, Spain ended up with a 1-2-7 formation. I would have liked to see that!

full credit to the usa playing 2 up top and going about to win the game from the first minute. by working harder, sticking to their formation, they made spain make mistakes and constantly got at them down the wings in the first half, which is spains only weakness. most teams england included alter their game and pack the midfield in order to "stop spains midfield" but it never works because you then have nothing up front so you are not a threat and they have it their own way but the usa dictated the game on their terms and won. i think we can all learn a lot from this and next time england stuff 5 in midfield to combat their midfield and loose we can feel extra annoyed for playing loosing tactics from the start

It was a really good game, and well done the Yanks for playing that way, if one of the many Spanish chnaces had gone in, the USA may have folded... Plus why do they have to have someone sent off in every game? I hope Brazil win tonight, but that South Africa give a good account of themselves...
