This isn't a bad dream. Its true. Spain went down in a 2-0 defeat by the American team in the semi final of the Confederation Cup being played in South Africa. Not an easy pill to swallow, Spain was on a winning streak of 15 matches and an unbeaten run at 35 games. Its disappointing, especially because Americans don't care much for soccer. They're all about American Football, baseball and basketball. In fact, they're rarely on international soil to play a game, they seem to keep their "world" events inside their own borders. Naturally.
So, you can imagine the surprise at their victory. Newspapers all over the United States have been reporting the victory and I think its safe to say that the American media was pretty surprised. The Americans made history with their defeat, it will be the first time that the American soccer team will play in a final of a major event like this one. The Times even described it as "probably the greatest victory ever by the men's soccer team."
What does it all mean for Spanish football? Not much, yes, its a big game but they're a strong side, had a bad game, who knows what was going on in the players heads, or on the field? The way I see it, the game, the result and the two teams made some history last night. Well done to the Americanos, que usted está tomando en la próxima vez. Entonces vamos a hablar de historia.
