Czuch: Lol. I'm not Spanish, but i think USA had luck and some merit, of course. Spain plays very well and is more strong than USA, much more. However, football is this, so congrats for USA, but i would like to see Spain against Brazil in final.
Pedro Martínez: Confederations Cup is pretty much the second highest level where those teams could meet up in a competitive match. And semifinal of such a tournament seems like game of importance to me.
Of course Spain is much better team and has lots of more talent. But they always seem to find ways to lose to a weaker opponent. As long as i remember Spain has been one of the favourites in World cup, eventhough their best result is fourth place finish in 1950!
puupia: It might well be the second highest level indeed, but still I don't view the tournament as being recognized as an important event. By teams and by fans, that is. I am pretty sure we wouldn't see such a result at the World Cup.
Don't forget Spain is the reigning European Champion. :)
