Confederations Cup

[Topfix]

Spain -1.5

Spain dominated all their games so far conceding not one single goal. They are displaying a very high level of football and are yet to lose a game for 35 matches. A win here would bring them into the final and would make them sole record-holders with 16 wins in row. They started with an easy 5:0 over New Zealand, continued by managing to break an Iraq wall for an 1:0 win and finished the groupphase with a 2:0 over the hosts from South Africa with their so called "2nd team".

USA played awful football in their first 2 games and lost both matches clrearly. But if we look fair, the opponents were mighty Italy and Brazil (1:3, 0:3). In their last match then, they all of a sudden woke up and dominated Egypt to win 3:0 and advance to the finals.

USA´s first two games against teams of similar quality should imo be the parameter here, 1:3 and 0:3. Although its a 1/2 final, Spain should have no problems.
