    No doubt, Brazil was favorite in the final and played better than USA, but the major difference was that USA had a very good plan in the final, while Brazil just went for attack one after another, without having any realistic plan. USA women’s team showed high class of professionalism and I think, they deserve the gold medal. Brazil needs to learn this, because when you are playing top level of football, planning does matter. Well, I must admit that they followed their culture of ‘Joga Bonito’ meaning beautiful football.

    Thanks for your article.
