It looks like Brasil will care about this particular Confederations cup since they are planning to bring their A squad with the exception of Roberto Carlos, Cafu, and Ricardinho. Brasil's call ups for this cup : Goleiros Dida (Milan) Marcos Palmeiras) Gomes (PSV Eindhoven) Zagueiros Juan (Bayer Leverkusen) Lúcio (Bayern de Munique) Luisão (Benfica) Roque Júnior (Bayer Leverkusen) Laterais Cicinho (São Paulo) Belletti (Barcelona) Leo (Santos) Gilberto (Hertha Berlin) Meio-campo Emerson (Juventus) Gilberto Silva (Arsenal) Zé Roberto (Bayern de Munique) Juninho Pernambucano (Lyon) Renato (Sevilha) Kaká (Milan) Ronaldinho Gaúcho (Barcelona) Alex (Fenerbahçe) Atacantes Ronaldo (Real Madrid) Adriano (Internazionale) Robinho (Santos) Ricardo Oliveira (Bétis) Mexico will also take their A team, Hopefully the rest of the countries participating will do the same. Should be a fun tournament to watch. May the best team win.
the problem may be to find somewhere to watch it... don't know if any of my channels are showing it...
Yes stay home ronaldo and ronaldinho! It looks like everything is flowing in Mexicos favor!! jajajaja
i think Germany is gonna win this cup , they have no WCQ matches to worry about, and they're playing at home.
Well thats your opinion and mine is that Argentina will win their group and it will be tough for Mexico to compete with Greece and Brazil espeacially, but were confident and well focused phyisically and mentally not to fall again to Brazil like we did in Copa America Peru 2004!
I think it comes down to Brazil, Argentina and Germany, the classy teams of this tournament. Brazil has all the firepower to win it. Based on their roster, they should win all their group games by 5-0 and beat Argentina 2-0 in the semis and Germany 2-1 in the final (home side's gotta score at least once). Argentina, well, I haven't seen their team but I don't think they like to lose to Brazil in any tournament so you know they'll be fired up. Germany has to be considered a favorite since it's in Germany and they are taking it very seriously since it's their only competitive games until the world cup. I picked Brazil. I think a Brazil-Germany final would be awesome. Some revenge for the Germans for japorea.
I think Brazil will have to meet a tough challenge from Argentina, but barring them, i think they should have a smooth ride. Only Argentina can cause them any problems. But i think Brazil will come out on top, Brazil as they are!
Germany over Mexico and Brazil over Argentina in the semis with Germany beating Brazil in ET in the final.
I voted for Argentina. If they get a game against Brazil at some point in this competition, it should be a doozy.
It's gonna be really important for germany to show well in this thing. Course, as I say that, i have to add that it's actually tough to get tickets. Not that anything is close to selling out, but that no one seems interested in selling them. Still, Germans want a couple victories, badly.
