Confederations Cup 2013

[DoomMerchant]

Mexico v Italy was a good game. Open attacking football, definitely enjoyed that game.

Spain, apart from the diving, was impressive. How they kept the ball flowing, all those first touch passes, turns and the way they controlled the game, b-e-a utiful!
The diving does put an ugly stamp on their game though. The amount of times an arm brushed their head, for them to go down like a ragdoll was insulting.
Fabregas was very impressive playing behind Soldado and with Soldado up front, Spain looked more dangerous than before.

if an English team other than the Arse gets Fabs to come back to England (read us, scum, chavs) then that team will be title favorites. He looked great yesterday...and i wish he'd come back and ply his wares in England. He's still only maybe 24 or so isn't he?

Loved both matches yesterday....so fuck you Antti you angry, bitter "old school" football fan :)

cheers

admit it, we should have signed Gerrado Torrado in 2002 after his magnificent WC performance.

Defensive midfielder who isn't bald. It was never going to work out.

So...what's this Tahiti doing there?

[DoomMerchant]

So...what's this Tahiti doing there?

I'd guess partying their arses off.

[dazby]

They won the Oceania confederation, beating NZ in the final.

[sharkey]

They won the Oceania confederation, beating NZ in the final.

Funnily enough new Zealand didn't even get that far. New Caledonia beat NZ in the semis then Tahiti beat new Caledonia in the final!

Should be an interesting score line when they plain Spain on Thursday though...

Dazby is barely australian, so there's that.

Oh New Zealand

[Avalon]

Ever since Australia joined Asia, it left Oceania a good place for some unknown teams to gain important experience.
New Zeeland at the WC in SA is such an example. Now we have Tahiti at the CC. Good on them!

Well, according to some, you are only allowed to play if you are good.

[Dameerto]

Oh New Zealand.

[Beefymcfc]

Brazil v Mecico, now.

[Dameerto]

A decent left footed volley from Neymar.

[PeterParker]

A decent left footed volley from Neymar.

He looks like he is starting to grow up and put his shit together. No strange hairdoo. Maybe he will make it in Europe.

[CHOPPERmcfc]

I wonder how much Mark Lawrenson gets paid to fly to Brazil and contribute his usual trivial bullshit and god aweful jokes to the commentary of this game?

The turkey-necked bin dipper that he is....

[halnone]

He looks like he is starting to grow up and put his shit together. No strange hairdoo. Maybe he will make it in Europe.

the only thing that can stop him in Europe is himself. he has all the right attributes to succeed in Spain.
