Today’s Video: Brazil’s brilliant comeback

Lest you all confuse me for a sore loser I will be fair and include highlights of Brazil’s comeback victory over the U.S. in Sunday’s Confederation Cup final.

Despite being down 2-0 at the half, the Brazilians bounced back in admirable fashion with a pair of goals from Luis Fabiano and the game-winner five minutes from time by Lucio. "This group of players is committed," said Brazil coach Dunga after his team showed why they are one of the world’s elite futebol squads.

Kudos to Brazil for winning their second straight Confederations Cup by winning every singe match in the tourney. Commiserations to los gringos for an extraordinary effort and for coming achingly close to a historic upset.
