Brazil won 1-0 South Africa, so the final is Brazil-US, I don't think that the US will continue their good run.

did you guys watch the full game between brazil and south africa? i would have to say that julio saved brazils butt... the south africans played a great game and im a huge fan of the flashy play of brazil but i enjoyed the play of the south africans more... great free kick by dani alves though (i was telling my dad the whole game that him and pato should have been in )

That's true he is the best player of the confederation cup, he has made the difference.
pato should have been in

Probably yes, but Luis Fabiano and Robinho are more experienced players.

i think that is true to a certain percent but pato had a wonderful year for AC and i think when the time comes for the world cup he will be playing

At the world cup he will take probably Robinho's place, but this year Dunga should had given him more opportunities.

you really think he will take the place of robinho?? i dunno i think that brazil should make a triple thread strike force with robinho and pato with kaka right behind them... i understand that you loose a point man with this formation but when the world cup comes they will most likely have a better squad on paper and will be able to move the ball on the ground more as well as use their speed... i think the cofederations cup will end like this spain 2-0 over south africa, and brazil 2-1 over US...

btw it seems that you (goumas13) and i are the only ones that will talk on this lol

hey I talk on this (sort of) I'm just deciding what to say. I certainly don;t think that Pato will replace Robinho. Pato could be played upo front as a stiker with Robinho on the left. And Kaka behind as zillacutz. There is no need for anyone to replace anyone else. I doubt Adriano will be in the squad unless he gets his zct together.

Yes, I think that Robinho has started loosing it, it was a huge mistake for his football career moving to Manchester City.

Me and firefly talk about football abit but he is a tottenham Hotspur fan so.... joke. (sorry firefly)

I think Mark Hughes has the ability to not go crazy anf buy people that won't benefit the squad. Mansour came in saying he would buy everyone but so far it hasn't happened and hopefully Hughes will buy sensible people that will help the club progress up the table. If this happens it could be a good move for robinho having the right players around him.

lol my dad is a spurs fan and i give him shit all the time... they did well for how poor they were at the start of the season...

Yes, I think that Robinho has started loosing it


i dont think he is loosing it i just think that going from a 5 star team to a 4 star team has its toll especially when you are playing in the prem... and pixie sorry that i didnt include you ... but i agree that city should build up a team almost like chelsea did but once they are better they dont have to go bat shhh and buy every player they can...

De Jong and Bellamy are good players, but they don't worth 40 million Euros. Also manchester City says that will buy all the great players and they don't buy none.

Manchester city don;t want all the great players they want the best team. There is no point having Kaka, Robinho, Ronaldo etc. if they can't play together and get the right results. Real AMdrid tried to do that with the Galacticos and it did great for their economy and sold lots of shirts etc. but on the pitch they wern't as good (still great but not as good as the players would suggest). Like zillacutz chelsea started off doing it right, building up a good tea, (an winning to leagues in a row) then they bought individual players (Schevchenko) and stopped winning and have had loads of managers coming in and out.

De Jong and Bellamy are good players, but they don't worth 40 million Euros


A long as Mansour doesn't get bored the money is irrelevant at the moment at least.

pixie sorry that i didnt include you


meh I hadn't posted here in a while.

And I think we're slightly off topic here.

bellamy is a good player but he thinks he is the king of the world and im thinking that city just bought him to kinda add to the strike force... do you think that tevez will go to city? wouldnt that be a punch in the nuts for sir alex lol and i think that we are going to see a big name comming along to the center of the pitch... oh and where it **** me out i only wrote s h h h... weird
