無錯....係USA....
Joy for USA as rivals crumble
(FIFA.com) Sunday 21 June 2009
Italy, Egypt and USA endured a nerve-racking evening as Group B of the FIFA Confederations Cup South Africa 2009 came to a thrilling conclusion on Sunday. At the end of it all the Americans were celebrating as they slipped into second place on goal difference to join section winners Brazil in the semi-finals.
At the start of the night that second qualification slot belonged to the Italians, but in the space of eight disastrous first-half minutes, I Azzurri conceded three goals to the South Americans to find themselves staring at an early and wholly unexpected elimination. It was the first time the Italians had trailed by as many goals at half-time since they went down 6-1 to Yugoslavia in 1957, and despite an improved second-half performance, Marcello Lippi's side failed to reduce the deficit, exiting the tournament in disappointingly tame fashion.
The team best placed to benefit from Italy's heavy defeat was Egypt, third in the group at the start of their match with USA, who were pointless after their opening two games. Yet the north Africans failed to seize their opportunity as Bob Bradley's men surprised them with a committed showing. Charlie Davies opened the way with an early goal, Michael Bradley added a second after a neat combination with Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey scored the all-important third with a header, a strike that took the Americans into second, leaving their opponents on the night and the Italians to rue their toothless performances. |
