A 1-1 tie against mighty Brazil helped the USMNT wash away the bad taste of their blowout loss to Colombia, sets a blueprint for success in Copa América.
ORLANDO, Florida — Under normal circumstances, any team that suffers a spirit-crushing one-sided defeat will settle for nothing less than a face-saving victory in its next match. These were not normal circumstances. Going up against five-time World Cup champ Brazil on Wednesday, just four days after a shameful 5-1 defeat by Colombia in its first of two pre-Copa América warmup games, the U.S. men national team's backs were against the wall.
' It was. And tying Brazil for the first time in program history is no small thing; 18 of the 19 previous meetings ended with a loss for the U.S., with that lone win coming all the way back in 1998. 'When you play a team like that, they're obviously very, very good and will create chances no matter how well you're playing,' said veteran center back Tim Ream, who was superb after struggling against the Colombians. The U.S. created plenty of scoring opportunities, too.
