Forums - General Discussion - The 2009 Confederations Cup Thread

Well, are you excited for the 09 Con Cup? Even though only eight teams are participating, I expect it to be entertaining. Spain should win the tournament. I expect Spain to defeat Brazil in the final. Then I expect the US to defeat South Africa in the third-place match. I am anxious to see if the US can invigorate its perplexingly anemic offense.

I'm going to predict a Italy vs Spain final with Italy clinching it 5-4 in a penalty shootout.



 

 

I'm hoping for a (very unlikely) final between USA and Iraq.



Should be a fun tournament. Given the groupings, Spain-Brazil is the likely final. The way Brazil has been playing, I'll take them to win. Italy has not exactly been impressive since their 2006 victory, so there is an opening for the US and Egypt, although I still expect the Italians to make the semifinals (and lose to Spain).

1- Brasil

2- Italy

3- Spain

4- South Africa (not so sure about it.. but Iran didn't play that good)

 

I don't know why i guess Italy'll beat Spain, but i do..



This will be good to see if Spain can confirm they're the top candidate for the WC. If they can beat Brazil or Italy (whoever comes 2nd in the group) in semi-finals and the other one in the final, we got a (more than ever) serious candidate for next year. Also, we gotta see if Brazil confirms the improvement of the last week (4-0 to Uruguay, 2-1 to Paraguay), and if Italy can be a candidate




Today's matches were uninteresting. Also, Spain was dominant. I am certain that competing against NZ was a factor; nevertheless, they played exceptionally well. Tomorrow's matches should be more entertaining than today's matches. I am particularly interested in US versus Italy.



Anyone else irritated by those buzzers? They are blowing it the entire game, bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Can't they just cheer, sing, etc.



 

Does anyone know of a torrent site that would have these matches. Watching it live almost certainly won't work for me sadly. None of the places I normally go seem to have anything.
