Brasil vs. South Africa Semi-Final


We are less than half an hour away from the kickoff of semi-final number 2 between the giants of Brasil and the host country South Africa. The most notable news is that Juan is out with an injury to his left leg and is replaced by Luisao in central defense. Maicon remains the starter at right back leaving Danny Alves on the bench. That is crazy depth right there. Those are potentially two of the best right backs in the world. The U.S. needs a couple of military bases down in Brasil to feed our national team. The whole military kid in Germany thing has only been so-so...but kids born and raised in Brasil to American servicemen sounds like a plan.

The Soccernet preview is here.

  1. I forgot to mention that South Africa still has their token white defender.
