USA stun all with Confederations Cup qualification

The U.S. Men's national team have stunned all by qualifying for the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup. Overcoming incredible odds at the start of the day, U.S.A advanced to the semi-finals by virtue of their 3-0 win against Egypt and Brazil's 3-0 victory against Italy.

Goals from Charlie Davies in the 21st minute, followed in the second half by Michael Bradley in the 63rd and Clint Dempsey in the 71st provided the offense needed to overcome the Italians on total goals scored.

Brad Guzan's shutout in his first start of the tournament ensured Egypt and Italy's departure from South Africa.
