I'm not so sure about Brazil but I think it might be close between Spain and Italy, I could see those two in the finals.

The Confederations Cup just started first game Iraq-South Africa 0-0, let's hope that it will continue well without any problems.

My guess would be Brazil or The U.S of course!

If the US win I'll...

Hopefully it'll pick up from that 0-0. Spain just beat New Zealand 5-0 (unsurprisingly). I'm looking forward to Brazil v Italy

Italy-USA 2-1, nice game, the US played well, but the red card and Rossi won them.

Brazil-USA 3-0, the US deserved a goal, but they were unlucky.

Well the US have lost 2 and have got a goal difference if -5. Spain look the strongest at the moment but I think Brazil might be sand bagging in the group stages and could kick up a gear when they get out of the group stages.

Can it be Italy and Brazil in the final?

Yes, because the semi finals are:
Winners of Group A-Runers-up of Group B (probably Italy)
Winners of Group B(probably Brazil)-Runners-up of Group A

Well I can't find the rules anywhere but the top 2 teams from each group go through to the semi finals. But I'm assumin that the top team from Group A will play the second team from Group B and the top team from group B will play the second team in group A. So The final could be Italy v Brazil.

As for the US winning it they would have to they would have to beat Egypt and hope Brazil beat Italy and even then it would be on goal difference. So its doubtful they would get out of the groups.

Lol America doesn`t know how to play the game, Brazil could gave 5 goals if they tried a little harder


its comments like that wich make people dislike people from other places.... there are allot of other countries that the us beats every year.... and of course they would have a hard time playing brazil....
