Confederations Cup 2009

[Ramseth]

Practically all football fans pay lots of attention and attribute lots of prestige to the World Cup and the Euro, but few take notice of the Confederations Cup which can be quite interesting too.

It's held once every 4 years in the year preceeding the World Cup. The tournament is structured like an international version of the Club World Cup and an intercontinental indicative precursor to the World Cup in the coming year. There're 8 nations competing:

1. Host nation
2. World champion nation
3. Euro champion nation
4. South American champion nation
5. North American champion nation
6. African champion nation
7. Asian champion nation
8. Oceanian champion nation

Currently, it's held in South Africa and at the moment, the standings are:

Group A:
Spain - 6 points +6 goals
South Africa - 4 points +2 goals
Iraq - 1 point -1 goal
New Zealand - 0 point -7goals

Group B:
Italy - 3 points +2 goals
Brazil - 3 points + 1 goal
Egypt - 0 point -1 goal
United States - 0 point -2 goals

1st Semi-Final:
Spain 0-2 USA

2nd Semi-Final:
Brazil 1-0 South Africa


a bit kelong here,unbeaten for 35 matches and lost to USA.
look like Spain will also let South Africa gets 3rd place liao.
Brazil should won against USA unless another kelong in the making.

Nobody could imagine Spain losing to USA 0:2...

their defence is nt very strong wen u c egypt can so ezily score 2 against dem wen dey were 1-3 down ...

their attack oso nt very powderful ... usa juz nid 2 pack mor @ ze centre of ze defence ... brazil like 2 try n dribble thru ze centre ... dey seldom play 2 ze wings ...

Brazil is the winner of Confederation Cup 2009 after coming from behind to beat USA 3-2.
USA did gave them a fright,taking a 2-0 lead at half-time.
