Wow! Where should I start.

Crazy day in the FIFA confederation qualifications in group B.

Okay let me set you guys up on the situations, Brazil was undefeated beating U.S and Egypt so all they need was to play their last game and no matter the result they where in the next round.

Italy, beat U.S and lost a shocker to Egypt, so they had to win or tie their game and score one goal to advance.

Egypt, they had a one goal lead against Italy, if Italy lost, all Egypt had to do is hold off U.S even if they lost but if they lost it couldn't be more then 2 goals.

U.S, with TWO loses! Had ZERO chance of advancing going in today. They needed major help from Brazil and had to win their game against Egypt big time!

So what ended up happening today, Brazil beats Italy 3-0. U.S beats Egypt 3-0, what does that mean?

U.S advances with the odds against them!

Breaking down the games, Brazil came out very strong using their quick speed to put in two goals from Luis Fabiano and a own goal from Italy.

U.S took a 1-0 lead in the first from Charlie Davies, then two more in the second half.

So now the semifinals are set, Wendesday it will be Spain vs. U.S at 2:25 p.m. et. and Brazil vs. South Africa on Thursday at 2:25 p.m. et.

I predict Spain vs. Brazil in the finals, it's hard to pick for either team because I love both but all I know is that it will be an exciting match.

I can't believe we advanced. Honestly, I don't think we have any business advancing. I think there's a good chance it could get ugly against Spain.

I couldn't believe this and now all we have to do is beat Spain!Which I doubt... Spain is unbeaten in 34 games and have won 15 straight

If they do, then I'll win $1 million the next day. So here's hoping and go USA!

That I think the U.S. has as much of a chance at winning as I do. But I'm hoping they do and I'll be rooting for them.

[Honda]

Yeah I will jump on their bandwagon if they are winning the game.

I'm not saying I'll root for them only if they're winning. I'll do that none the less. I just don't think they will win.

[Honda]

No way, their chance of winning is like the clippers winning the title next year. It's just a bunch of weird failures that made US advance lol. . . damn you wont see that happening again for another 100 years.

I didn't think they would advance either. Let alone beat Egypt.

I can't believe Egypt choked to the US after beating the defending champions of the World Cup, Italy!

[Kyle]

Egypt was missing two of their best players. I'm hoping that the team advancing doesn't cover up the obvious flaws in the team.

Including the goalie? lol that dude looked soo funny with his head wrapped, I noticed the Eygptains either got hurt off a little bump or really overacted the fakeness. . . Everytime they went down they need the meds to come in and take them off the strecher
