USA stun Spain in the semi final!
Congratulations to the USA Men’s team for their stunning victory over World Record holders Spain in the semi final of the Confederations Cup.
Make no mistake, this is a massive victory for the USA. This was no pre season friendly or exhibition game, this was the real thing. Spain had all their big guns out their, Torres, Xavi, Alonso, Rieira, Sergio Ramos, Puyol, Casillas etc. They wanted to get to the final and play Brasil or South Africa.
This is a great game to show your players to inspire them and demonstrate that one any given day, anything is possible.
I was mightily impressed with the defending, the resilience and the work rate of the USA team. What a performance!
I am going to show this game to my college team to demonstrate just how to defend with all of your heart. The tackles, challenges and blocks were incredible. That’s how a team should defend!
So, let’s get behind the players on Sunday and help them to go one better….can you imagine them beating Brasil in the Final…..why not? They go into the game as massive underdogs with nothing to prove, no pressure and all of the expectation on Brasil…what an opportunity!

If Netherlands wins it will be historical justice for the two WC finals undeservedly lost by the incredible Clockwork Orange team in ’74 and ’78. If Spain wins it will be just also because of Spain’s world-best record and play during the last 3 years. Ironically, it is today’s Spain that is the inheritor of the Ajax/Dutch style of the 70s. Their coach then, Rinus Michels, went on to become Barcelona coach, and the two brightest stars, Cruyff and Neeskens, went on to play for Barcelona. After them Barcelona had an almost uninterrupted string of star Dutch players through the 80s and 90s, among them the player and then coach Frank Rijkaard who perfected Barcelona’s style of today and groomed the current coach, Pep Guardiola. The Spanish team models its play on Barcelona’s, and all games played so far in this WC have had 6 or 7 starters that play for Barcelona.
