He is completely sober mate. I'd burst out laughing if he was coming out with that sh!t next to me. I dont know how Lee Dixon or Gabby Logan keep a straight face.

Brazil celebrating the international equivalent of winning the Sherpa Van Trophy on their knees praying to God. Full of their show biz image that lot. Always preferred Argentina meself.

The same Agries that probably wont get to the World Cup? haha

Its been a class tournament IMO. Its like the European Cup Winners Cup but on a world stage....but no one cares about the cup winners cup anymore.

Well one of the USA announcers said it best.

If you had told us before the Confederations Cup started that the USA would get runners up medals, I think we'd have all been thrilled.

But after that match, I can't help but think of what could have been. You could see it on the faces of the American players. They had it in their grasp and then lost it.

All credit to Brazil. That's why they're Brazil.

But I'd be lying to you all if I didn't think we might pull it off.

I think one of the positives out of this though is that the USA now knows that it can player against quality teams. We just need to learn to be consistent and develop a level of consistency in our play that we haven't had before.

This should tournament should do wonders for us in terms of the rest of our World Cup qualifying as well as the World Cup next summer.

If USA had won it I think there would have been a massive increase in interest in the States. Billions of investment, and a building programme aimed at winning the world cup 2014.

The Yanks don't like coming second, they like to be winners. Will this result have bit of a negative impact on the development of the game there?

I thought they did fantastically well, but so near yet so far.

Apologies to US blues if i'm miles away from the reality of the game in the USA, but I think winning this would have had such a huge effect.

Since the upset on Wednesday, soccer has been all the talk here in the states. I follow a bunch of people (both random, friends and celebs) and this afternoon was all soccer talk.

This weekend definitely will be a big boost for popularity of the USMNT (US Men's National Team) here in the USA
