FIFA Confederations Cup 2013

[Royal Rother]

Playing with 10 men against a rampant Brazil isn't really a great idea.

10 men? what have i missed?

Torres.

How does Arbeloa get in two of the top teams in the world?

I'm liking Vialli showing up the usual shit BBC pundits with some intelligent and considered comments.

[sandman]

Neymar's playing well... game must be being streamed on Youtube.

Ask Joey Barton.

[SLAMMED]

I'm enjoying this

Fun fact courtesy of BBC Sporf:
FACT: The last team to beat both Brazil & Spain was England.

[sandman]

Shit.

[SLAMMED]

LOL. No attempt to get the ball there

[Kitsondinho]

Amazing how ordinary Spain look when put under this amount of pressure by a team who can keep the ball really well........Maybe England should try to play li...

Well, that's the solution: you press Spain ALL over the pitch for 90 minutes. I never thought that ANY team would be capable of doing that for an entire game. I can only imagine Germany coming close. Brilliant stuff from Brazil and even David Luiz looked immense - amazing that he is keeping treble-winner Dante out of the starting XI. Luiz Gustavo and Paulinho were just beasts in the middle and Fred and Neymar are a real partnership up front.

As for Spain, no panic required yet, but they desperately need a focal point up front instead of Torres.

Torres did OK to be fair. Service was the problem as Spain were poor last night.

[Royal Rother]

Yeah he can still score a goal or 2 against crap opposition but he is so far off of operating on Iniesta's and Xavi's radar that almost everything breaks down when it reaches him.

[stealthpapes]

I like the way he kind of looks embarrassed there.

Golden boot at both the Euro's and Confederations Cup now.

WHAT A PLAYER

[Ian Royal]

Was certainly interesting watching a Brazil side basically rough up the Spanish and beat them by hassling all over the pitch, committing lots of minor cynical fouls and playing some fantastic counter-attacking football.

Couple of good saves by Caesar and a geat goal line clearance by Luiz. Spain looked utterly clueless.

TBF - I really think it was just a case of Brazil wanting it more in front of their own crowd. It's not exactly the greatest of competitions.

[sandman]

Very rare 'greed.

Atmosphere is what really won it and Brazil are still a one man team.

Fred?

[soggy biscuit]

Brazil are still a one man team.

Interested to know which one man as Thiago Silva is arguably the best centre back in the world right now
