There was a moment of excitement for USMNT supporters when Michael Bradley seemed to score each in the second half, but with the goal waved off the half has been all Brazil, with only a slight decrease in the visitors’ intensity keeping the match from spiraling.
To help the cause, Bob Bradley has used his fourth and fifth (of six) substitutions, bringing in Robbie Findley and Clarence Goodson for Landon Donovan and Carlos Bocanegra.
Brazil has made their first move, bringing on midfielder Hernanes for Ramires.
