Are You Kiddin'?! Team USA Advances To Semis; Azzurri And Egypt Out

An unbelievable ending to Group B play in the FIFA Confederations Cup on Sunday in South Africa.

At Pretoria:

Goals by Luis Fabiano (36', 42') and an own goal from Andrea Dossena (44', pictured here/Getty Images photo) lifted Brazil to a convincing 3-0 pasting of Italy. The Brazilians finished atop Group B while the Italians were eliminated.

At Rustenburg:

Goals from Charles Davies (21'), Michael Bradley (63') and Clint Dempsey (71', pictured here/Associated Press photo) lifted the United States to a 3-0 whitewashing of Egypt.
