Dude is a talent. I see a massive biding war for his services

Seeing as Barcelona just paid 74 million for him I don't see a bidding war in the near future

My bad, I didn't know

Italy taking the Confed cup seriously, if Spain and Uruguay can turn it up as well, then this should be a great tournament.

Italy up 2-1 on a Balotelli goal

Both of the Italian goals were beautiful.

 

[milohimself]

This just in: Spain is still really really good.

Still wondering how Uruguay is as far down as they are in WCQ with Suarez and Cavani at the top

 

[volball625]

They struck gold to be in this tournament. Really had no business winning Copa America.

And all the talk of Germany surpassing Spain is rubbish. This Spain side is very good. And using a much different formation than they have the three previous major tournaments.

Poor tahiti. This game could end up really ugly. Already down 2 to nigeria in 17 min

what you guys predict mexico vs brazil tomorrow?

Brazil

 

[DocVOLiday]

Dude neymar....

 

[milohimself]

Brazil is rounding into great form.

Mexico on the other hand...

 

[DocVOLiday]

man, didn't get to catch all the Italy/Japan game, but wish I did.

Pretty intense, but I was hoping Japan would pull it out. Now there are 2 teams that have held a 2 goal lead and lossed at the Confed cup (sadly we're the other)

 

[milohimself]

It's not that big of a deal, 2 goals isn't a commanding lead by any means and the confed cup isn't that big of a deal outside of getting to see some quality sides play competitive matches during the summer break.

 

[DocVOLiday]

Wasn't really saying its a big deal; just stating the fact that we were the other for those who didn't know.

Granted it was a big deal to me when we gave up 3 straight goals to brasil. Thought we had a good chance at a W

 

[DocVOLiday]

poor tahiti. that was rough to watch

 

[DarthVisor]

Rumors flying that Rooney will choose Chelsea over Arsenal if he leaves United next week. Him and Moyes are supposed to discuss his future next week. Take with a grain of salt, of course.

 

[DarthVisor]

Is there any chance Mexico doesn't qualify?

 

[volball625]

My heart will crumble if thiago leaves to Manchester United

 

[bleedorange0037]

Any word yet on where Gareth Bale is going to end up? It's basically a foregone conclusion that he won't be back with Spurs, but I haven't seen a lot with regards to where he's going.

 

[DocVOLiday]

Mexico playing better this 2nd half. Up 1-0 over Japan on Chicharito header.

Italia & Brasil is a good one. Neymar just put Brasil up 2-1

 

[volball625]

Whoa neymar

Feelsgoodman

 

[DocVOLiday]

another chich header finds the back of the net. Mex up 2-0 now

 

[DocVOLiday]

woah this brazil game. Brazil scores then Italy scores after the whistle was blown but the goal counts. now 3-2 brasil

 

[MAD]

No goals for first 45 and all 5 goals are like in a 25 minute period. That is nuts.

another brasil goal (Marcelo shot hit out by buffon right to Fred who taps it in). fun game to watch for sure!
