Delaney: Score one for our side in world's game
I didn't see as much of the U.S. - Spain Confederation Cup semifinal soccer match as I would've liked. It pains me to admit that.
From what I did see, the U.S. turned in an amazing defensive performance to snap Spain's 35-match unbeaten streak. This win might have been more impressive than Erin Hamlin's February World Champion luge win which snapped Germany's 99-international event win streak.
The U.S. faced a ton of pressure with a 1-0 lead. There always seemed to be a defender in the right place at the right time to keep the ball from getting to keeper Tim Howard. Howard was big with eight saves.
The U.S. will play Brazil in Sunday's final but will do so without midfielder Michael Bradley who got an undeserved red card late in the match against Spain. Brazil beat the U.S., 3-0 earlier in the tournament.
