LOL pwnt thought we were taking WC there for a sec. Which of course they and us have to qualify for first as well.
I think this should be a very good cup. At least on paper right now. Japan should be able to give some of the bigger names some problems. I could see them doing some damage. However, I still think we are the darkhorse...only time will tell though. Group I want to see for Mexico; -African winner -Italy -Uruguay -Mexico
I can almost guarantee FIFA will put Spain and Brazil in different groups. It's gonna be Spain/Uruguay and Brazil/Italy.
Uruguay are kind of washed up right now. We have a better coach/squad than at WC so I think we'd take them like at Copa America 2007. Brasil are at home so they would be tricky during group stages.
so according to this, Brazil and Spain are seeds for the Confed Cup if we get Brazil's group we also face Italy if we get Spain's, we face Uruguay http://www.mediotiempo.com/futbol/s...012/11/28/enfrentara-el-tri-a-brasil-o-espana
Would everyone prefer Brasil/Italy or Spain/Uruguay? I prefer Brasil/Italy. I bet the Brasil game will be really hostile.
i'd prefer Spain & Uruguay just because those teams piss me off. it'd be nice to get payback against the Argentinos Jrs. from the WC.
Just to let you guys know in case you are not aware Menezes stepped down as Brasil coach last week and now once again Scolari is coach of Brasil with albert Perriria as the assistant coach which he was the coach after Scolari got fired. Kind of weird to have them both working together. But doesn't matter Brasil does not have a number 9 (Ronaldo) like they once had.
