Confederations Cup Thread

[RG30]

Anyway, South Africa v. Iraq kicks off in 25 minutes

More like 24 hours

[RoyalChicagoFC]

Ack! well gawddam this wretched time of year anyway, when if one doesn't read a fixture list very carefully...

Well sh*t. Raining out (again and still), oxf*rd all to do but wait

[RG30]

My mate tried saying it started today aswell, for one second I thought I was wrong when you said it and he said it. Bring on Monday, 2 Confederations Cup games and the England U21 match

[RoyalChicagoFC]

Hosts helpfully clear their own best chance off the Iraq line in the curtain-raiser, and the first goal of this competition is yet to be scored.

Boy, did Spain get the easy draw.

I hope they sort out the swarm of bees in the stadiums before the world cup.

That was pretty funny.

Spain could have racked up double figures if they'd wanted to.

Am i the only one watching this? - its on http://bbc.co.uk/football if you do!

Kaka certainly isn't showing why he's worth £56m

[RoyalChicagoFC]

Yeah, top stuff this!

I think we're stuck with those idiotic horns for the duration and next summer, btw, on grounds of "cultural significance" as it's a "traditional" local noisemaker or somesuch

[Alivey]

i seriously can't stand these horns

[papereyes]

So is a shit load of them getting bossed by a few redcoats armed with martini henry rifles but I BET FIFA bottle that decision.

Interested to see how Webb came to his decision. Strikes me as no coincidence that just after the television pictures showed the replay of the clear hand-ball, he changed his mind from a corner to a penalty.
