Spain loses...
As ususal I was surfing internet for the results of the match between Spain and United States of America...in Confederations Cup 2009 Semi-Finals ...
And my jaws drop down.. when I see the result... Spain 0-2 USA..
Wow.. something interesting had happened.. Spain is also currently ranked 1st in FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking.
England loses to Spain with a scoreline of 0-2 on 11 February 2009 friendly match..but so interestingly USA can win Spain in a major cup competition and its a semi-final game somemore...
I think Spain must be on 'Cloud Nine'.. since winning all the Confederations Cup group matches .. specially a 5-0 win against New Zealand..
That they might as forgotten they are here for a serious cup competition before World Cup 2010.
Maybe their mind is already on their next possible opponent Brazil... instead of United States of America where soccer wasn't a very particular sports their people's mind...
So they played the game as if they were expecting to meet Brazil in the Final...and they ended up losing their 35 unbeaten game run...
Is USA improving... or over-confidence
that lead to such a famous victory for USA?
