Doesn't matter to me. Both provide the US with challenges they need to prepare for World Cup (and WCQ play for that matter).
Brazil: Better team, just killed us so we'll see how Bradley adjusts and prepares the team. You love getting the chance to play great teams ahead of WC play
South Africa: Play in the finals away against a hostile crowd.
Brazil is looking a bit flat. I haven't been able to watch all of it, but if SA could crisp up their passes and MF play. They've had a couple great set play chance.
