USA vs. Brazil: Impressive Win Proves How Dangerous Brazil Will Be at Olympics

In their convincing 4-1 victory over the United States on Wednesday night, Brazil proved why they will be a force at the Summer Olympics in London later this year.

The Brazilians ended the United States' five-match winning steak with an impressive attack led by young stars Neymar and Alexandre Pato.

Neymar is one of the best young players in world football and came into the match versus the Americans looking to show his talents to a large audience that may not have known how good he really is.

He leads a really strong Brazil attack that will dominate at the Olympics. Pato, who plays for AC Milan, and Neymar have tremendous pace and exquisite finishing ability in front of goal.

With FC Porto star Hulk also a major threat in the attacking third of the pitch, the Brazilians have a strong combination of finesse, skill and strength going forward toward goal.

The Americans have a good defense, and even kept a strong Italy forward group scoreless earlier this year, but they had no answer for the Brazil attack that used defending players very effectively.

Left back Marcelo goes forward very well and is always willing to join the attack. Center back Thiago Silva is also dangerous on the attack, especially in set piece situations because of his tremendous heading ability.

With Brazil having so many defenders such as Silva, Marcelo, Dani Alves and David Luiz who are so good going forward, it makes them very difficult to defend for 90 minutes.

These players have the ability to come forward and join the attack, but also have the pace to get back on defense and recover.

Brazil will enter the Olympics with the most talented squad and anything less than earning a spot in the gold-medal game would be a failure.

With a balanced all-around squad that has a strong mixture of youth and experience, Brazil will be very dangerous at the London Olympics in August.
