What a week of exciting football action, MLS, Superliga, Recopa Sudamericana, Copa Libertadores, Asian Champions League, and of course FIFA Confederations Cup. You know summertime is just as busy as the fall, spring, and winter in football. Thankfully for us football lovers, its a year round sport. It was hard to choose a TOW because of the amount of action going around but we chose a worthy side. Remember that the World Cup Buzz Team Of The Week played matches and/or made headlines during the calendar week of June 22-28:
The winner is:
UNITED STATES NATIONAL TEAM
The United States national team made huge strides with their play in the 2009 Confederations Cup. On the 24th, the Americans stunned the world with their 2-0 semifinal win against Spain. Goals by Jozy Altidore & Clint Dempsey ended Spain’s record unbeaten & winning streak. It was the greatest win in US Soccer history. In the final against Brazil, the US seemed to have repeated the Spain result when they were ahead of Brazil, 2-0 at halftime. However a brilliant 2nd half Brazil comeback ended US hopes of their 1st FIFA non-CONCACAF title with a 3-2 loss. The fact that the US held their own against the best two teams in the world is enough to give the United States National Team the award as World Cup Buzz Team Of The Week.
