On The Soccer Front: These are heady days for fans of the Nats, as our men defeated Spain yesterday 2-0 in the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup being played in South Africa, home of next year's World Cup. Spain came into the match ranked number one in the FIFA world rankings and riding a 15 match winning streak and a 36 match unbeaten streak dating back to November 2006.Only last week the US men were embarrassed on the world stage by two frustrating group play losses to global powers Italy and Brazil. It's amazing how quickly one's fortunes can turn. Next up, the Confederations Cup championship being played this Sunday, 2 pm Eastern on one of the ESPNs against either Brazil (wouldn't that be sweet) or South Africa. I'm glad so many in the mainstream sports media are talking about this now. Soccer usually only gets a once over if any coverage at all.
