Brazil ridiculed Italy 3-0 in a Confederation Cup match, yesterday in Pretoria, with goals scored in 7 minutes, of the first half. The Samba team finished the first round as leaders of their group, now they will play in the semifinals against a South Africa team...........
Two of the three goals scored were by Luis Fabiano in minute 37 and 43, the other score was by Giusseppe Dossena at minute 44 of the match, giving Brazil their triumph over a manhandle Italy, the score could have been worse for the Italians as Brazil came several times from scoring again and again.
Italy, the World Cup champs, were dispatched from the tournament, even thought they beat the United States 3-1 in their first game, however their level of play against Egypt (lost 1-0) was bad and against Brazil it was worse.
Before the game Gianluigi Buffon, Italian goalkeeper, assured that they were capable of beating Brazil and Spain in back to back games, well that didn't happen, I guess he should have pay more attention to his goalkeeping instead of his forecasting or handicapping.
Brazil, for their part, they finished with 9 points due to their victories against Egypt (4-3), United States (3-0) and Italy (3-0) by finishing first in their group they get the honors to play South Africa this Thursday in Johannesburg, South Africa.
With ten goals in three victories, Brazil scored the most goals in the first round of the Cup, ahead of Spain who had eight goals.
As for the USA team, they plummeted Egypt 3-0, yesterday in Rustenburg, in the last game of Group B, to classify for the semifinals of the Confederation Cup, thanks to Brazil's win and an impressive effort by the Americans, with goals by Charlie Davis (21m), Michael Bradley (63m) and Clint Dempsey (71m), now they will meet the super favorites Spain, winners of Group A, this Wednesday in Bloemfontein.
