Anything can happen, but Spain are such favorites to win today that I wanted to post a quote from US Manager Bob Bradley about the last time we faced Spain to illustrate the gulf.
The US lost the match. It wasn’t a win. Not even a draw. A 1-0 loss. No goals scored. But in a quote that emphasizes the modest horizons of this US side, Bob Bradley said, “We played a great game.”
A skeptic might argue that a 1-0 loss does not a great game make, and I doubt Brazil’s manager would describe a 1-0 loss this way.
If a 1-0 loss is the result of a great game, how would he describe a victory? Maybe we’ll find out later today!
