Thursday June 25th at 14:30 EST - Watch Brazil vs South Africa Live Semi-final for the FIFA Confederations Cup.

Brazil have been grooving through all their games having won all 3 games and secured all 9 points all in gaining confidence and with the flair that has defined Brazil as a soccer nation over the past 50 years. Their dismantling of Italy was textbook  Brazil as they gained confidence as each minute went on. Playmaker Kaka is looking amazing with speed, quick passing and smart give and gos. Dunga’s decision to keep Robinho in the squad has paid off big time as the forward bring cockiness into a samba like fluid attack. What you can’t hear behind the load noise of the swarming bee horns is the beats of Samba. Perhaps the South Africa fans will drown out the drum beats on Thursday but expect Brazil to bring the beat back on the pitch.

South Africa as the hosting nation has deservedly booked a place in the Confederation’s Cup semi-final.. and with the spirit of Africa behind them feel they have a chance in advancing to the finals.. however they have a massive hurdle ahead of them in the name of the Seleccao Canarinha AKA Brazil. Bafana Bafana or Samba Samba.. whatever the result the music will be sweet.
