USA skipper Landon Donovan said that he didn’t expect his team to beat Egypt 3-0 and qualify to the Confederations Cup semi-final.

The Americans qualified against all the odds, after thrashing the Pharaohs at the same time Brazil were beating Italy 3-0.

"We were confident that we can pull a win, and that's how we reached our goal," the former Bayern Munich said.

"We were in our best shape and Egypt didn’t have a good game. Now we need to prepare for the tough game against Spain."

Bob Bradley's team finished the group in second spot with three points and qualified on goal difference over Italy and Egypt.

Now USA will meet European champions Spain in the semis.

"It will be very difficult to face Spain after playing against Italy and Brazil, but we have nothing to lose," Donovan added.
