FIFA Confederations Cup, Brazil 2013

[Lebowsky]

Wtf is Tahiti trying to do with such a high defensive line? Are they out of their minds?

[DuMa]

props to ESPN to pan to the hot spanish fans jumping up and down after every Spain goal.

[DuMa]

I like the crowd booing when the Spainish goal keeper made a diving save on Tahiti's shot

[DuMa]

Chug a beer every time the Tahiti GK stops a shot. sounds like a great game to me

Torres with some serious statpadding here .

[MMM]

glad that ksa doesn't own the biggest beat down any loner

[alenleomessi]

those tahitians cant handle el nino!

[Nick Young]

El Nino returns

[knickballer]

Such an odd matchup.

If Spain played with the same tempo and energy as they did vs Uruguay they'd have won by another 5-6 goals probably. They were literally jogging for the first 30 minutes and they played with such an relaxed style. Obviously there's no need to play with intensity in this match though.

Felt kinda bad for the Tahiti keeper. The guy was crying

[knickballer]

BTW, El Nino will probably win the golden boot coming off the bench again..

[alenleomessi]

Yeah, but you won't witness this kind of matchup very often in a tournament this level. I don't know how Tahiti beat New Zealand to be there, but they have all the rights to.

For Tahitians on that field it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience so the final score doesn't matter much. Yeah, they want to do better but that's reality.

new caledonia beat NZ and then lost to tahiti in the final...

[alenleomessi]

neymar with a nice goal from a free kick

I am definitely happier about how Italy played today despite the loss than about their win vs Japan. Also considering Pirlo and De Rossi missed the match.

And Buffon... damn I hope he declines fast at this point. Two ugly, decisive mistakes today, and it would be a disgrace to his legacy if he went on like this, when everyone still thinks he's the no.1 while he's dramatically lost consistency. I hope he declines fast and Bardi takes his spot come BRazil 2014.

It looks like Buffon has lost athleticism. At times he looks like a statue with no quickness
