The canary yellow jerseys were everywhere in the first half. Brazil obviously had done their homework because every time Landon Donovan got the ball he was set on by at least two defenders. The USA were also pinned deep in their half by a physical Seleção who used a full court press. Against the swarm, the three man midfield of Maurice Edu, Jermaine Jones, and Michael Bradley were not allowed to define themselves like they did against Scotland.

It was a decent start for the USA as the match was fairly even through about 10 minutes. In the 12th minute, there was some controversy as a penalty kick was given to Brazil for a handball on USA defender Oguchi Onyewu.

Four days after routing Scotland to open their busy summer, the United States suffered a 4-1 defeat to Brazil in front of a crowd of 67,619 fans at FedEx Field on Wednesday night.

Hulk! Herculez! Neymar! uh. . Bradley!

In a minor appetizer to tonight's important match, the US is hosting Brazil on a football field. After trouncing Scotland in their last match, I'm sure the US is hoping to just hold on and maybe gut out a draw against the dangerous Brazilians. Match is on ESPN and ESPN3 online.

Corinthians, Brazil's second most popular club with an estimated 24 million supporters, are trying to increase that number by signing Chen Zhizhao, a 23-year-old midfielder who will be the Brazilian Serie A's first ever Chinese player.

With no international caps and previous stints in the Hong Kong first division and Chinese Super League, Chen -- already renamed simply "Zizao" by the Brazilians -- might seem a curious signing for Corinthians from a footballing perspective.
