chickendinner might not understand the purpose of the Confederations Cup but there’s no doubt that the USA have made sure it’s worth watching.
Four days ago they pulled off the six-goal swing needed to qualify from Group B having looking dead and buried and last night T-Ho, JdeM, C-Demp and the gang denied Spain the chance to extend their unbeaten run to 36 games, which would have set a new record in international football.
With Spain applying a lot of pressure, the Americans were still available at evens right before their second goal but memories of the European champions’ comeback against Turkey back in April scared us off. Vicente del Bosque needn’t be too disappointed though because no Confederations Cup winning side have ever won the World Cup the following year.
The bookmakers aren’t anticipating a shock taking place for the third consecutive matchday tonight with 888sport pricing South Africa at 12/1 to beat Brazil and 6/1 to qualify. Bet365 make the holders 1/4 favourites to lift the cup, with USA available at 7/2 and South Africa 16/1.
