Friday’s victory over Peru did little to inspire confidence that the US Men are ready to face a foe of the caliber of Brazil. Michael Bradley returns for this game, and his relentless driving energy, allied with Jozy Altidore’s finishing (he scored two versus Peru, his first since March 25), might be enough to get the US on the board. But keeping Neymar and Co. out is the bigger challenge for Klinsmann’s team.
