Brazil just scored 2-1.
Now I don't think that I will watch the same thing like Euro 2004 when Greece won the final.

Wow, Brazil is winning now 3-2. I thought that the game would go to the extra time.

Quality always shows through. Looks like your diplomas are safe. It would be awful for the US to win... "Smug Alert"

How did the U.S. let that lead slip away. They are idiots.

Seconded. The Americans already think they have a God given right to be the best at everything. They do not need more encouragement.

I will say one thing though, the Yanks do take their chances. The fact is, you need far more than a 2 goal lead to be safe from the Brazilians.

Not exactly. If they went up 3-0 then they still would of been tied.

Which is why I said 'far more than a 2 goal lead'. What pat of that don't you understand?

Oh I didn't see the far part. I just thought you said more than a 2-0 lead. Sorry.

Which would still have been technically correct. No need to apologise though, it doesn't affect me either way.

Well, I see all you guys saw the finals. Hell of a game. USA really ran Brazil's butts until the very end. I don't care how good Brazil is. USA proved they can play. Only thing that would of made that game sweeter is if that corner kick header went in. 3rd place went to Spain right?
