US won 2-0 and are through to the final and will await the result of the Brazil vs South Africa game to see who they will play. They're on the roll. this from http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news?slug=ap-confedcup-us-spain&prov=ap&type=lgns Quote: The U.S. soccer team is in the final of the Confederations Cup, beating mighty Spain 2-0. Even more stunning, the Americans were on the verge of elimination and ready to head home last weekend before a reversal of fortune. On Wednesday, goals by Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey led to an upset of the planet’s top-ranked team. American players had much to celebrate, given how slim the chances of such a U.S. victory seemed just a few days ago. Or any victory, for that matter. The 14th-ranked Americans were soundly defeated in their first two games in this event. “It goes to show what hard work and commitment to each other can bring,” said U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard, who made eight saves as he frustrated David Villa and Fernando Torres.

Apparently the US had to win by 3 goals in its final game, and Italy to lose by 3 or something similar like that to qualify. And they somehow did, and then beat Spain... surely they won't take Brazil out though.

It Actually works better i think. New Zealand will play either Bahrain or Saudi Arabia in October/November The Bahrain v Saudi games are in September I am pretty sure.
