Pick a side Ramos.

Left or right, but not straight at the keeper.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

What a shitty way to announce this about Poyet, shame on BBC. At least give him time to process it.

 

[GTP_Daverytimes]

Spain is not taking this match seriously.
Nigeria should score they are not being efficient.

Depends on how you want to see it, Spain are taking it seriously (Nigeria being the only African team to ever beat them). Nigeria are getting plenty of shots in (9, 7 on goal.), they just gotta finish better.

 

[Espresso]

It's about time Torres hits the pitch.

 

[Espresso]

Yes! Instant goal.

 

[Dark Rider]

Torres scores again its 2-0 now for Spain

EDIT:

I don't see Spain putting in their usual effort to think they are taking it seriously.
Nigeria not finishing with goals is exactly why they are inefficient. Inefficient in finishing.

Fernando to win the Golden Boot again.

Uruguay 6 - 0 Tahiti

Each team down to 10 men

Poor Tahiti. They never stood a chance.

 

[Espresso]

That's 2 for Alba.

Damn

The semifinal matches are going to be interesting.

ESPN's analysis is atrocious as per usual.

 

[exarkun]

How many players was Nigeria missing? Meaning, the guys who play internationally but chose not to come to the confederation cup.

 

[Hawkie]

ESPN's analysis is atrocious as per usual.

What ESPN produce isn't exactly what anyone would call analysis.

 

[Sr Kitsune]

That was a nice game. I was expecting Nigeria to be a little better.

Also, is funny how my friends are getting excited with the rumor about Mexico being a "plan b" for FIFA, if Brazil doesn't fill the requirements for the WC (the protests, and stuff). Really unlikely, even if they do have some points like many stadiums can be ready for a WC in less than one year.

It's like 91% unlikely for me. Besides, the last time that actually happened, it was the WC in Mexico of 1986, it was supposed to be played in Colombia at first, but they gave the WC to Mexico with 2 years of time left.

Its interesting that even in the confederations cup, a cup thats mostly about one team per confederation, the final four are 2 south american teams and 2 european teams.

Brazil should have an easy time with Uruguay, even with history.

Spain should beat Italy like 5-0

BBC: Mario Balotelli ruled out of Confederations Cup with injury.

[beato_angelico]

I hope for a honorable defeat (ie something unlike the euro finals)

The real final was Italy-Germany. What followed was just...sad.

Brazil vs Uruguay in an hour.

With today's gay rights victories in hand, Brazil is a goner

Thanks for the heads up, James. For some reason I thought the match was scheduled for tomorrow, along with Spain-Italy.

 

[Peco]

Me too, espresso, me too.

Two teams who can't properly defend, this is gonna be good.

 

[Kurtofan]

Both Uruguay and Brazil have gay marriage.

 

[Espresso]

David Luiz, what were you thinking?

Sloppy match so far.

Edit: Nice save.

 

[brokenbeans]

That was shocking.

 

[jamesinclair]

Both Uruguay and Brazil have gay marriage.

But only one has gay in their name

 

[Kurtofan]

Oh I didn't get the joke.

[Espresso]

Cavani with the equalizer. Terrible defending.

 

[Dark Rider]

[ldcommando]

Wtf was that?

 

[Espresso]

Wtf was that?

It's almost like Brazil forgot how to clear the ball.

 

[jamesinclair]

Noooooooo

 

[Dark Rider]

less than 5 minutes left so they are very close to qualifying to the final.

 

[Espresso]

Brazil-Spain final.

Brazil officially advance to the final.

Tomorrow's game is pointless. We all know Italy is going to be tahitied

 

[Kurtofan]

Why doesn't Neymar have a nickname?
