My Gold Cup Prediction: Semifinals

My Gold Cup Prediction: Semifinals
Mexico 2:1 Costa Rica

United States 3:1 Brazil

If the US/Brazil score sounds bold, keep in mind that Brazil sent their Olympic team. By definition, an Olympic team is an Under 23 side. I saw Brazil play in the group stage, and while they were entertaining and bold, they also had trouble finishing. With Keller in goal, scoring becomes exponentially more difficult. Especially since Keller gets 9 feet tall and bullet proof when playing against Brazil, historically speaking.

Also, the US side won't be afraid to push these young'uns around defensively, thus disrupting the flow of samba-ball.

Alright. I'll report back later, to either gloat or eat crow.
