Wow, guys, this is a tough match not only for USA, but also for Brazil after having suffered against Egypt. There are 6 players playing in Brazil National team FC Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar, FC Inter defender Maicon, AS Roma defender Juan, AS Roma forward Julio Baptista, AC Milan forward Alexandre Pato, and Fiorentina midfielder Felipe Melo.
Naturally, I will also cover KAKA our beloved ex AC Milan player.
Italin Soccer Serie A wishes our Serie A players success. For my USA fan visitors, I also wish them success and a good match. So, let me cheer also for my favorite USA player LANDON DONOVAN!!!!!!
Here is the official starting lineup for BRAZIL by coach Dunga:
BRAZIL: 1 Julio Cesar; 2 Maicon, 3 Lucio, 15 Miranda, 16 Andre Santos; 18 Ramires, 8 Gilberto Silva, 5 Felipe Melo; 10 Kaka; 9 Luis Fabiano, 11 Robinho.
Surprise, surprise, Dunga supposedly was giving KAKA a day off to rest for the game against Italy but changed his mind and KAKA is in the starting line up. Guys, Inter defender MAICON is in too as well as Felipe Melo.
Here is the official starting lineup for USA by coach Bo Bradley:
UNITED STATES: 1 Tim Howard; 21 Jonathan Spector, 5 Oguchi Onyewu, 15 Jay DeMerit, 2 Jonathan Bornstein; 12 Michael Bradley, 16 Sacha Kljestan, 7 DaMarcus Beasley, 8 Clint Dempsey, 10 Landon Donovan; 17 Jozy Altidore

It's showtime guys!!!! Refereee Massimo Busacca whistles the beginning of the game.
wow, wow, wow... guys, you won't believe it but it is already a goal in the 7th minute!!!!! Guess who? who!!!! Our Fiorentina midfielder Felipe Melo heading the ball blasting USA goalkeeper Howard after a free kick by our FC Inter defender Maicon!!!!! wow, guys, I am so happy for MELO!!!!!! you bet Fiorentina President DELLA VALLE is waving the Brazilian flag right now LOL.. Guys, this goal could have been saved by Howard.
USA 0 - 1 Brazil
Melo is so happy and thanking God for this goal while his teammates run to embrace him. Wow, guys, it makes me sad to see Kaka celebrating with Melo and knowing he is no longer playing for our AC Milan.
Come on, guys, let's go...
Click the video to watch the goal by Brazil and Fiorentina midfielder Felipe Melo in the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup South Africa match USA - BRAZIL on Thursday, June 18, 2009.
In the second half USA start making a substitution trying to change the score and add fresh blood. DeMarcus Beasley out, Conor Casey in
In the 54th minute, a great chance for Kaka and USA goalkeeper makes a save!
oops! wow, just adding injury to the USA and bammmmm Referee Massimo Busacca gives a RED CARD to USA midfielder Sacha Kljestan in the 57th minute for a tough foul on Brazil midfielder Ramires. My goodness sake! Coach Bob Bradley better do some prayers because losing already by 2 goals and with one less player it is risking for a goleada.
In the 60th minute, Coach Bradley making another substitution: Jozy Altidore out, Benny Feilhaber in
Awesome guys! Inter defender Maicon scoring the third goal for Brazil in the 61st minute after an assist by our Musica and Magia Kaka!! Congrats to Inter fans!!!!! Good for Maicon!
USA 0 - 3 BRAZIL
Wow guys, it is a Brazil show. A super gol by Maicon and you bet I am jumping and doing the cheerleading for our Maicon! Hey, Inter president Massimo Moratti must be jumping too watching his player rokcing in the Confederations Cup. Well, at least I AM !!! It's samba time!!!!
