What an awesome tourney. Spain, Brasil, Mexico, & Italy. I hope Mexico can represent Concacaf honorably.

My choice is Spain though. With it taking place in South America, I am sure there will be many who say that a team from Europe has not shot. But until they lose, they are my pick.

Stupid USA blowing a 2 goal lead.

 

[Shzm13]

I feel as if the best team from every confederation made the tournament

I do too. Still though..... The yanks blew a 2 goal lead. It is/was infuriating.

Totally. Mexico is clearly the best team in the region. Still would have been nice to play in the tournament regardless.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

I'm pulling for Japan. I think they have a real sleepers chance to qualify in that group.

 

[slinslin]

confed cups are the most worthless and ridiculous "tournaments" out there, nobody needs that and the top teams and players once again won't be happy to have to play that

 

[Dr. Jones]

Germany isn't playing in the tourney so I am going to complain and whine. Waaaaa Waaa Waaaa!!!!!

FTFY

What team would want to have experience playing in Brazil one year before the World Cup? Worthless indeed.

FTFY

i couldn't care less , like I said nobody cares about the confed cup, it is not even a real tournament.

Please. Guaranteed you'd be caring if Germany was there.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Bump....

The fun starts today. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

 

[Shzm13]

Great start for Brasil, who beat Japan 3-0 to open up the tourney.

Neymar's golazo:

To me that was hand ball. That was off of Fred's arm to Neymar. Great goal nonetheless.

 

[Dr. Jones]

That was a great game to watch between Italy & Japan today.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

That was a great game to watch between Italy & Japan today.

Easily the best game of the tourney. Japan was definitely unlucky to not win that game. They were the better team on the pitch that night. I really look forward to seeing them in the WC next year.

This was also one of the worst ref performances you will see. Three very light penalties, fouls missed, corners missed, etc.

Tahiti came oh-so-close against Spain
