    FIFA Confederations Cup 2009

    Did you see the way Brazil played? Did you see the expression on Lucio's face when he scored the winning goal? Did you see how Brazil celebrated their victory? Never really seen a friendly tournament taken that seriously and stirring that much emotions tbh.

    Good game by the Americans today. They gave it their all, and not many teams can score two goals against Brazil in 20 minutes. But the Brazilians were just too good. Spain is a strong team, but this Brazilian team has more variety to their game, so imo Spain need to work on that.

    I agree. This does not take away from South Africa's performance. Spain's will to win is their own problem.

    This time i actually agree with you. But i think the reason their attitude was poor today was because it was a 3rd place game rather than because its the Confed Cup. I also blame the players, because imo Del Bosque really wanted to win today. Nevertheless a brilliant performance by South...

    Well because Spain just lost one game. Isn't much to fret about. Italy have been consistently choking for some time now.

    I asked myself. And yes, i remember Senegal beating France recently. I remember Greece winning the Euro's recently etc. Exactly.

    I don't predict that they'd win the World Cup either actually. But for the past 3 years, they have been the best team, at least in Europe. No denying that. You can predict that they will choke in the WC(and i'll agree with you), but that doesn't change the fact that they are currently right now...

    I think this is underestimating the US a bit too. Spain's players were over confident in their ability to eventually score a goal, with their patient build up and all. But the US were combative in midfield, and gave more to the game than the Spanish did. It has nothing to do with this being...

    But none of them are ball winners, i think that was Alen's point. He wasn't comparing the sets of players defensively. Rather, you should have a balanced team, with a solid ball winner in midfield to complement your creative players. Which i think is right. One of the reasons Barca is doing...

    Btw loving the knee jerk reactions :lol: Some of the comments i've read are just the very definition of knee jerk. Some people saying Spain is overrated. Ya, no wonder they just recently won the Euro's in emphatic fashion, no wonder they're unbeaten for 3 years now. :lol: But ya, one...

    Congrats to all the US members for the win today. Well deserved i must say. I thought Bradley completely outclassed his Spanish counterpart tactically today. I was surprised when i saw the US, start the game of with a high defensive line, and they're two DM's Bradley and Clark were playing...

    I am in no position to offer a satisfying answer to that question. I think you have to ask our resident forum Shakespeare.

    That's not as easy as it sounds. It involves a rigorous selection process.
