For 45 minutes, it looked like the U.S. might just pull off another miracle Sunday.
Up 2-0 against a confused-looking Brazil side, the Americans were displaying the acumen and grit they showed in their midweek upset of No. 1 ranked Spain. Fans were daring to believe that after all this time, and after so much heartbreak, this might finally be the U.S.'s moment to shine.
And so the final score was excruciating — 3-2 Brazil, with the golden boys showing how they got that nickname, and why they are among the best on the planet.
