Brazil beat South Africa 1 to 0, basically scored in the final minute of the game.

The US now play Brazil in the final game on Sunday. Brazil is ranked #5 in the world right now. New FIFA rankings come out in July 1st, it'll be interesting to see what this series gives the US (ranked #14).

We've outlasted the #1 and #3 teams in the world, now it's on to #5, and hoisting what may prove to be the most famous and more important Cup ever by the US team.

Also, this Confederation Cup was a testing period for South Africa to prove that it has the infrastructure put together for next years World Cup, something that has been questionable ever since they were awarded the tournament. I've heard nothing but success stories from this cup, and I give South Africa big props for getting their act together, hunkering down as a cohesive country, and making themselves shine in front of the world.

LeRoux, sorry about the loss, but congrats on a well run tournament.
