Confederations Cup

[Master]

They look like favourites to win this and the world cup next year.

[beds]

dont fancy them for the world cup
but i dont have a clue who will win, just dont think it will be spain

[OumaFan]

why I'm excited about this I don't know, it will just be frustrating as hell, our coach is distrustful of players that try to keep the ball away from the other team

Actually though the United States took the only point off Italy in the whole last World Cup, how that happens I don't fucking know

US should at the very worst take 3rd. Good win over egypt and perhaps a point from either brazil or italy and who knows what might happen.

Gotta believe it`ll be brazil-spain in the final though!!

For anyone wishing to put a few quid on the next world cup however do not look past argentina or the netherlands!!!

3-1 Brazil over Egypt, Egypt's not bad attack wise but their defense is a bit shit. To be fair Brazil's scored two pretty nice set piece goals but the first goal by Kaka was shitty defense.

To be honest I could see us losing all three. I just can't seem to find any confidence about a Bob Bradley led team.

[OumaFan]

Fuck, Egypt with two goals in less than a minute, 3-3.

[OumaFan]

actually playing all right, get two one on ones with Buffon and whiff on both, then a straight red, hahahaha, fuck.

The same Argentina that lost 6-1 to Bolivia? Not sure why anybody would pick them out of all the favouritues with the form they have been showing in qualification.

Holland/Spain/England on the other hand....

[El Kabong]

Bruce Arena never even tried to get Rossi to play for the US.....how good could we be with guys like Jones and Rossi playing with us from the get go

Altidore, Rossi

Adu, Jones, Donovan, Dempsey

Cherundolo, Onyewu, Bocanegra, Spector

Howard

That's a lineup we SHOULD be able to do something with!


Oh FYI, Kenny Cooper 4 caps for the US and 2 goals.....why can't he be on the squad?

[OumaFan]

Well of course he can be on the squad but after calling up Conor Casey its clear that Bradley has no use for him.

I think the addition of Jones could open things up a bit for Adu. He doesn't really play defense but with this lineup Adu could roam a bit and be almost solely an attacker. And we obviously need the creativity.

Altidore

Donovan Adu Dempsey

Jones Bradley

Spector/Boca Boca/Demerit Gooch Cherundolo/Spector

Howard

England?? Lol come on mate there more chance of Gordon Brown winning the next election, England are shite, did you miss them against Spain in Feb? It was a massacre, Spain,Brazil,Argentina,Holland,Germany,Italy and France i would take over England everyday off the week.

[Master]

I am seriously considering putting money on Spain to win the world cup, I had a sneaking feeling Barcelona were going to win the CL before the competition started but thought after the Chelsea match that I was lucky since Man Utd were going to beat them and look what happens. So do not want the same regret again.

Yeah but thats a typically English thing to do. Over-rate everybody else while under-rating our chances. You don't have to be the best side to win the world Cup. You just have to be in the mix and a decent draw and a bit of luck can go a long way. Spain in Feb was a friendly and at best was a 2nd string team. Looking at competitive games and England have been right up there with the best of them.

Italy don't look up to much imo. Ageing team who don't seem to have any major talents coming through.

Brazil probably have the weakest squad they have had for a while. So weak that Elano is a starter when he can't dislodge Ireland from the team at City. Roberto carlos has gone, Ronaldinho is a shell of a once world class player, Ronaldo is fat and finished - so is Adriano, Kaka isn't quite the same player anymore after 2 years of injury after injury. Defensively they aren't so strong. They do have a top class keeper but even in qualifying they have been up and down.

Germany don't have anything that particularly worries me. They will be there or there abouts but i'd fancy our chances.

Argentina - much like Brazil, have been up and down. 6-1 loss to Bolivia a prime example.

Obviously you can't discount any of the above but i wouldn't say they have a much better chance than England.

The only teams i would worry about are Spain and possibly Holland.
