On Sunday afternoon, the U.S. Men’s National Team defeated Egypt and advanced to the semifinals in the FIFA Confederations Cup, which is basically a World Cup dress rehearsal. Prior to yesterday’s game, the U.S Men’s National Team sucked really badly in the FIFA Confederations Cup. However, lucky for them, the Italians sucked just as much. Just for fun, because there was no way that it was every really going to happen, the game commentators mentioned that in order to advance to the semifinals, the U.S. would not only have to defeat the wily Egyptians 3-0, but Brazil would also have to beat Italy, the reigning World Cup champs, by three goals. Well, it happened. The U.S. played very aggressively, Michael Bradley (son of coach) scored a goal on Father’s Day, the team overcame a bad call, and, serendipitously, Brazil kicked the shit out of the Italian team. Wow!
In an unrelated story, Landon Donovan was seen signing what is presumed to be an autograph in his own blood. The fan who received the signature was a short, red-hued, angry man with horns and a tail.
Donovan celebrates with Michael "Sonuva-Coach" Bradley.
This man was seen with Donovan shortly before the match on Sunday.
