Gribz 837 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 This should be worth a watch! Potential World Cup Final next summer. Both squads are strong and have taken the tournament serious albeit not in top gear, but there is bragging rights and psychologial advantages at stake. Italy did well against Spain in the semi to hold them to a 0-0, seems the Italians are building a strong squad for next summer and have improved on the Euro Final last year. Uruguay are struggling in the qualifying section but should make it and will be a good side next year. Throw in Argentina, Germany and Holland and we are due a good World Cup. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I put a bet on Spain before the confed started. Funnily enough.... I could have waited till today and got better odds for them.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 837 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Brazil and Spain have only met once in 23 years, it was in a 0-0 friendly in 1999. Its a pretty mouth watering tie. Confed Cup has always been a decent watch since 1997 in France when Bobby Carlos hit that free kick. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 32 mins gone, 1 nil to Brazil (Fred) - and they are making Spain look like a pub team !!! Brazil are absolutely PUMPING them right now - Arbeloa could have been sent off for a last man tackle, Casillas was nearly lobbed and he also just had a world class save when one on one with Fred. Spain cant even get o the ball. If Arbeloa is still at Real Madrid next season get some cash on him getting sent off if he comes up directly against Neymar - Neymar is killing him out there tonight. Brazil look like very strong challengers for next year's World Cup on this showing, regardless of final result. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 And a couple of minutes after David Luiz clears off the line.... Neymar thumps one into the roof of the net for 2-0. Right now Spain cant handle Brazil - they are taking a pasting. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54andcounting 0 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Pele, Jairzinho, Gerson, Rivelino, Carlos Alberto, Socrates, Zico, Cafu, Falcao, Ronaldinho. Notable great Brazilian footballers from the past. Now we have Fred.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
