FIFA Confederations Cup 2009

Have you seen the Brazil vs. Egypt match today guys?

What a match! Egypt has shown a lot of development. They are very close to being a new football powerhouse!

Egypt played a better game than Brazil, they were actually Brazilier than Brazil!

But it ended 4-3 for Brazil. 2 of Brazil's goals were Free Kicks, and One was a Penalty Kick!

Way to go Pharaohs!

I watched the game today, Egypt played very well and certainly surprised a lot of people. I felt sorry that Egypt lost to a 90th minute penalty, that has got to be gutting.

The Spain game was good yesterday as well. Torres ;)

[ctebah]

the americans got beat by italy. glad to see that game and there was no starting upset for italy this year.

I also saw the Egypt vs Brazil match. Egypt have now lodged a complaint against Brazil for the 90th minute penalty! Egypt are a much better team now...

Never mind the footy, what about those air horns (vuvuzela ?), there so damn annoying, gotta get one for next season :p

[AJR1]

[Knife Party]

If those horns will be at the World Cup I will be muting my telly.

[JoeC]

The horns are VERY annoying, but how good was the Egypt/Italy match? So tense at the end, but a great result for Egypt, and really throws group B wide open.

Egypt is re-defining football!

Beating the World Cup title holder is as good as winning the confederations cup!

Or we could just continue posting in here...

[JoeC]

Am I right in thinking that if Egypt get a better result against the USA than Italy do against Brazil, then Italy are knocked out?

Yes.

[VidER]

I think if Egypt beats USA then it guarantees going to the next round regardless Italy's result against Brazil.

Very impressive United States.

[epilepsynweed]

Or we could just continue posting in here...

Or we could just post in the other thread because it is talking about the Cup in a general matter (not Egypt almost kicking Brazil's ass)

Plus it has a poll which people could vote on the winners.

[JoeC]

Nah, let's just continue here. It's far easier, and has more than one person posting in it.

Anyway, back to the fun stuff - GREAT drama with the results today, sure as hell didn't see the USA going through. Great job to them, and goodbye Italy :D

Again, this is just about one match, not the whole cup.

A nice thing would be if a mod can please merge both threads. Thanks :)

Meanwhile, lets try to keep the posts in the other thread where there is a poll. Id like to see what people think of the winners.

Best moment in last nights game :laugh:

[VidER]

It is very sad to see Egypt leaving the tournament. But at the end, they underestimated USA and that is what happens in football when you don't respect the other team!

Best moment in last nights game :laugh:

This can be the most "interesting" moment in football cheering history!
