Life is a Game…

It’s Spain vs USA in the first semifinals of the Confederations Cup. Both the teams entered the semis in a contrasting style.

Spain played some breathless football even with their B team and topped their group with a perfect 9. And incredibly, they haven’t conceded even a single goal in this tournament and have scored 8 goals and are on a 15 match winning streak.

USA on the other hand are extremely lucky to be in the semis and they could hardly believe their luck when Brazil thrashed Italy 3-0. Going in to the final group match against Egypt, they were written off as they lost to both Italy and Brazil earlier. But as luck would have it, they scored three while Italy conceded three in the other match and USA are through on “Goals For” (Even the Goal Difference was equal).

But no prize for guessing who’d go to the finals- Spain are sure shot favourites with USA attracting incredible odds of 1/40 if they win. At best, USA would be hoping that they are not humiliated by the World No.1. Spain are further boosted by the return of David Silva from injury and would like to continue their breathtaking run.

Let us hope that we get a good match and the best team makes it to the finals.
