Steffen launches the ball upfield to Sargent, who holds off Marquinhos to chest the ball down to Reyna. With one touch, Reyna slices the ball wide to Pulisic, who beats Danilo on the dribble and descends on a back-peddaling Militao. 1/5

Pulisic fakes to shoot but lays off to Llanez who has made a late diagonal run to the box from the right & curls into the top corner.

Adams, McKennie, Pulisic, Sargent, Reyna & Dest do a choreographed dance on the touchline while Ederson screams at his backline. 2/5

81 minutes. Brazil are down 2-0 in the quarterfinal of the 2026 World cup and 34 year-old Neymar tumbles to the ground after an aggressive tackle by a ray of sunlight. 6 minutes of treatment later he limps back onto the field. Dest gives him the side-eye. 3/5

Jessie Marsch takes off Richards for de la Fuente, who was Barcelona's top scorer last season. More goals are needed to have a convincing victory against the Selecao. The crowd in Orlando stomps their feet wildly. Chants of U-S-A reverberate throughout the country as even the 4/5

rednecks in Mississippi are glued to their screen watching that communist sport. Kobe Foster effortlessly curls in a 93rd minute free-kick to seal the victory & Brazil are going home....again. Marsch tells the press we have won nothing until we win the final.

Then I wake up...
