I reckon Spain will win it. They have great team chemistry, can move the ball well and have strength and depth in midfield and up front. The only area they are slightly lacking is in defence, but if their midfielders harry as thy always do, it shouldn't be a problem, not even against Brazil.

Hey, what was the result of the Egypt-Italy game, I had to leave at about the 80 minute mark, I feel like such an idiot asking, but I am to lazy to search for it online. GO ITALY! buffon is the best goalie ever.

Italy the #1 ranked team


No Spain is the number 1 ranked team with 1761 points, then its the Netherlands (1442), Germany (1378) and Italy are in fourth with 1292 points. Brazil have 1288 points.

buffon is the best goalie ever.


No, just no. He is one of the best of the modern era but YAshin is possibly the best "ever"

Zenga, Toldo and Pagliuca were better.

USA!!! italy is out!!! and we dont suck... just because we are not as highly regarded as the number 1 team in the world (SPAIN) not (ITALY).... does not suggest we suck.... we won agains egypt 3-0 and egypt beat italy 1-0... so if the us sucks than italy blows.... i think brazil might take it but spain just look absolutly great and are going to be a force in both these final games of the confederations cup as well as the world cup...

I am italian and I have to say that this is the worst Italy I ever saw. The players are old and slow, Pirlo-Gattuso-Cannavaro-Zambrotta-Camoranesi-Perotta. Toni is useless. Buffon now isn't that good. Chiellini and Legrottaglie are out of shape. Pepe can't even cross. Dossena can only kick the oposition players. Santon didn't play a minute and he is probaly with Balotelli the greatest talent. Iaquinta runs, but can't score. This Italy deserved loosing.
US are better than the last years, are starting to learn some football.
