Brazil vs United States Preview
Brazil are preparing for a rematch against United States at the Confederations Cup final in Johannesburg on Sunday.
The South Americans were in complete command during their Group B encounter nine days ago, easing to a 3-0 victory in Bloemfontein, thanks to goals from Felipe Melo, Robinho and Maicon.
With the two-week tournament set for its climax at the Ellis Park Stadium, it is the North Americans that now seem to have all the momentum heading into the final.
After sneaking into the knockout stage with a 3-0 win over Egypt in the last group game, they then turned in a gladiatorial effort to dump the world number one side Spain out of the competition with a 2-0 triumph to seal their date with Brazil, who looked out of sorts as they eventually overcame hosts South Africa 1-0 in their semi-final.
And the turn of fortune by Bob Bradley's men has been closely watched by his opposite number as they now ready themselves for a second meeting.
"The game against the US in the group stages was different," he said. "Now they are more consistent and tomorrow will be different.
