Confederations Cup 2013

I also saw something about Spanish La Liga (xavi, busquets, iniesta, pedro, villa, casillas, alba, pique, puyol, arbeloa, xabi alonso) vs Spanish Premier league (Torres, mata, Cazorla, silva, Javi Garcia, arteta, monreal, cuellar, Azpilicueta, de gea, Chico flores) and whod win.

La Liga, about 10-0.

Yeah. That back 7 for the PL side would get thrashed

I didn't even realise you had a keeper (was looking for Reina) plus would probably have Enrique over Monreal and maybe Michu in there somewhere on form. To be fair some La Liga choices like Fabregas and Ramos missing too.

Either way the La Liga team would take it, it's essentially the Spanish first team. And even for all the praise they get I still don't think it's enough. Don't get me wrong though that PL Spanish team would overcome most sides, including England.

[Saul Goodman]

Yeah, I didnt come up with those lineups, as I'd surely have Fabregas as a false 9 over Villa and Isco over Pedro with Ramos in for Puyol.

The article raised the issue after Spain's B team boasted 7 PL players with Navas being the 8th to join.

Let's just say that Spain are a bit good at football and leave it at that.

[Saul Goodman]

If you say so ;)

Italy vs Brazil has started brightly.Brazil look well up for it so im expecting Italy to take the lead against the run of play.Pity Pirlo is not starting I was looking forward to seeing him in action.

[Saul Goodman]

there's quite a fair bit of diving going on though. Marcelo is going for the gold medal.

Pity Pirlo ? What ? That poser ? Walking advert for grecian 2000?

[Saul Goodman]

and people talk about the Spain starting 11 being primarily Barca and Real, Italy's normal 11 is ALL Juve and AC Milan except for De Rossi.

[Green & Blue]

Hard to believe Fernandinho cant get a start in that Brazilian midfield.Hernanes and Gustavo look ordinary.Is it a bit of an issue to be playing your football in Russia if you want to play for the Brazil national team?

Great football player.

Apparently, Fernandinho says, being successful in Ukraine isnt taken seriously (enough) to be considered for the Brazilian national team.

[Green & Blue]

This has to be the worst collection of Brazilian football players I have ever seen on the pitch together.I never thought I would be saying this but Brazil need to get Jo on as Fred is just one stink footballer.If Italy were of any use they would have been comfortable by now.One upfront is piss poor from Italy, brazil are for the taking if they would even bother trying.Terrible first half overall.

Lucas Moura really should be playing in the tournament instead of Hulk, he looks gash.

As for the team, Fred should be on the bench with Neymar down the middle and Paulinho on the left with Fernandinho alongside Gustavo. And maybe even Luiz as a DFM ahead of Gustavo with Dante in the center of defense. But thats a FIFA '13 team.

Italy struggle without Pirlo.

They are also withouy de Rossi alongside Pirlo and they really miss them.The service to Balotelli has been rubbish.
Oscar who is usually quite useful has been on the missing list so far bar a couple of nice touches.
