Confederations Cup

[MickeyPaul]

supposee the 2 oclock in the first post could have confused you mick

You think that's what it was? I was blaming it on my being detached from reality and stuff. Yeah, it was probably you putting up the wrong time that made me not realise the correct time.

anyhow i'm going to go for the favs tomorrow

brazil to beat egypt and italy to beat USA USA USA

[MickeyPaul]

I still quite fancy USA to score. As well as Italy. Italy at the best of times aren't great, lets be honest. I can see them scrambling at corners and free kicks and USA..... scoring a goal. I'm not convinced by Italy at all. I'm still on the 'both teams to score' bandwagon.

after watching cavannero at the back for real madrid usa are a cert to score if he plays he past it

[MickeyPaul]

Eeeeeeee, don't use the word 'cert' round here. Makes me nervy see... and I's don't like to feel nervy see.... I don't think USA are very good quite frankly but good for a goal. And no way is their defence good enough for a clean sheet from what I recall. I aint jinxing nothing see.... oh shit.

aye im on the 'mugs double' Brazil and Italy at just over evens at bet365. 5/4 on the exchanges maybe. Italy will win 2 nil mick. Brazil is scarier for me.

[kompressaur]

nahi i cant take a team at 2/7 in Brazil. they do however come under my pady power ht/ft thingy. 1/2 with Ladbrokes but you can get 5/6 at Paddy Power on Brazil ht/ft

[MickeyPaul]

Sshhh, don't say 'nil'. What about some Brazil -1 @ 1.90 (10/11) bet365

Quite apart from their contrasting pedigrees, Brazil and Egypt go into the FIFA Confederations Cup South Africa 2009 in very different frames of mind. Boasting a full-strength squad and buoyed by a recent return to form, the South American giants are brimming with confidence. The Egyptians, meanwhile, find themselves at the bottom of their South Africa 2010 qualifying group and will have to compensate for the loss of star striker Amr Zaki, who pulled up with an injury only a few days ago.

Could be something worth having a go with perhaps?

FIFA.com - Brazil-Egypt preview

May as well. I'm on.

[kompressaur]

nah but thanks mick. I can see Brazil struggling to a 1-0 win here. i aint over enthused by them for some reason. I don't know much about international football but we all go by our gut instinct. Ive a feeling it aint gonna be an easy one to get in at the odds. that said brazil 3 up for ht would do me

[MickeyPaul]

I haven't seen Brazil play in ages and can't recall ever seeing Egypt but I don't mind a wee gamble to give me something to shout on (swear at) while I watch. I don't expect Egypt to be a bad side. Maybe someone could fill us in.

0-0 HT would do me by the way Komp.

While he wasn't at his best in previous years I wouldn't say he had a bad season to be honest mate, that Real defence kept a load of clean sheets and my man Guillem Balague even named Cannavaro's partner Pepe as the best centre back in La Liga this seasons saying Cannavaro played a good part for this.

He misses this game anyways doesn't he?

This USA team hasn't changed much over the years and they usually show well in these tournaments so I can see them getting a goal here.
