Tahiti will win.

+1

Nigeria!!

what time tonight game?

they simply pick the country or qualification based on past results?

where on earth is Tahiti

world cup champion, host and every continental competition's champion..

3am according to estero

oceania champion.

yeahhhhh finally some quality football!!!

All win for Japan
All support for Japan
Japan is all in
がんばろうニッポン

watched the dang thing

closed the dang thing after like the 3rd minutes.

Lol brazil's line up super strong for japan to handle..

on paper yes, on the field not really...

this is the japan team that won asia cup, but this is the brazil team that is pretty young and newly form. U can put all the superstars onto one team, but if they don't play as one, they will lose to a much inferior team eg: England

maybe if brazil lost this tournament, they will form a new squad again. they already did it twice after wc 2010 and copa america.

wp Brazil. very entertaining stuff they have done.

Japan doesn't look like themselves at all. Problem suiting with the area i guess, all of em look so tired even before the 90 min mark.

and Brazil as the host, the pitch is quite...... low-tier stuff. Lots of brown spot all over the stadium even before the game begin

Highlights for those who didnt watch or didnt bother about the game lolz

BRAZIL 3 ... JAPAN 0

Japan still jet-lagged or a culture shock? Neymar goal was class, new Barca strikeforce preview?

The Samba boys are still a force to be reckon, they will progress to latter stage but winning it, not so sure...La Furia Roja for the semis anyone

If Italy struggle (I hope not), I cant wait for Brazil third game

yeah, genius sir

well should be worried about Mexico also.. Italy have a poor record against em

as the bolded part, yes the 4-0 in euro final still hurts...so....

Yeah...past record is poor but on current form; Italy look to be back to their best while Mexico are rather stagnant in their performance recently...its either a convincing win or a stalemate...on the other note, the Azzurinni have a chance to take a revenge for their seniors in U21 uero final

did you watch the match? i think 3-0 is not bad already..

Italy vs Mexico what time haa? thanks

3am.

just wondering, does astro arena shows the matches as well? because last night i read someone's tweet saying that Zainal Abidin Rawop commentated last night's match.

Chanel 816 ... 3am Mexico vs italy and 6am spain vs Uruguay

u mean channel 816 got Malay commentators or what?

adoi lewatnya

you want early? watch Spain vs Uruguay. 6am. lol

anyway, if you can't watch this year's Confederation Cup, say bye bye to World Cup next year.

dafuq mexican keeper try to save pirlo fk using head..

Pirlo is AMAZING .. 34 Year Old Still KickAss Hehehe

SPAIN 2 -- URUGUAY 1

Marvelous goal by SUAREZ

Total domination by Spain. Imagine a top team like Uruguay are being made to chase ball after ball. Spain still looking good after one World Cup and two Euros.

should've beaten Mexico by a bigger margin, if not for a lack of killer instinct of Italy forwards and the blunder by the defense

but 3pts is 3pts and looking forward for another 3 against the samurai

tomorrow TAHITI VS NIGERIA !!

Superb free-kick by both Pirlo and Suarez...watching Confed Cup LIVE is the best way to train yourself to watch WC 2014..esp to the working people

earliest match at 3am....how to watch world cup next year....unless on holiday or weekend...lol....

Sleep early 9pm. 3 am bangun tgk bola terus masuk kerja.

sure after lunch akan jd mcm zombie..hahaha

confirm

Aiks...I thought south America time supposed is like 6 to 7am, no? Since most of their world cup qualifying match start at those time...

Taken from FIFA website:

Oooo...tats suxx...I miss WC Africa.....the best timing for us Asian...

South Africa is like European time also... 1am & 3am

the best timing was back then in Korea/Japan

tahiti ... later they need play against spain

Yeah that was the best time...middle noon to evening

Now Spain need to win more than 6 goals or bust haha

..and Uruguay too...against Suarez & Cavani

i predict they would end the group with -15 goal diff under their name..atleast

Nigeria win with huge amount of goal.

The hatrick goal scored by N.Oduamadi for Nigeria. He is product of youth team AC Milan.

Still remember using him in PES's Master League squad..btw he is fast and dangerous in front of goals..but then it is against Tahiti

Still ITALY 3 JAPAN 2 ... damn was having a heartattack when japan score 2 early 1st half

3-3 Japan

no luck just no luck....woodwork everywhere

you can see japanese players were playing their hearts out and chased every ball after okazaki made it 3-3.

Balotelli penalty is as good as Giuseppe Signori was. Both doesn't require lengthy run-up, just place it on the corner.

Im concerned about Italy play and Japan tactic was spot on, the fair result is a draw but the last goal was a smash and grab...if they can contain Brazil, Spain in semi beckons

omg, wtf did i just watched? Action packed match from start to finish

okay italy might be the more fortunate side between the 2 but coming up from 2 goals down is never easy against team like Japan

now hopefully Italy can avoid defeat against Brazil atleast to keep the morale up and hopefully Japan beat Mexico on the final day bcoz they're too awesome to went home with 0 pts

Great game by both sides. Unlucky for Japan. Questionable penalty against them and woodwork a couple of time. Clearly a better performance compare to Italy.

Italy was looking tired in the 2nd half. Pirlo was dispossessed many times....but Japan did very well. Passing was neat from left to right....

Spain thrashed Tahiti 10-0..wow, Torres scored 4 goals (looks very impressive like his Liverpool's time..hehe)

tonite mexico vs japan

mexico japan..must watch

saluran astro siar yg mana satu?

Tahiti still can get something from Uruguay, lets support them!

even if they can score atleast one against Uruguay it can be considered as impressive already

but i doubt if uruguay will show any mercy...

im joking of course the video above was created by the B-League, here in Australia they cover the funny aspect of football, mainly A-League football and Socceroos stuff. They are quite the popular post-match shows, even players and pundits like Bosnich joined them in their shows as well as twitter etc.

still cant understand how NZ cant win the OFC Nations Cup 2012. Looking at their lineups, they are first teamers who played in that tournament, many are A-League starters. If it was NZ i think the group will be more challenging, but on the other hand i suppose its a great experience for the many small countries in the Oceania region.

^yeap NZ would give a bigger challenge..last time they were in the wc2010 they're the only unbeaten team in the tournament

anyway considering Tahiti last won the OFC cup by beating teams like Samoa by 10-1, i wonder if Samoa meet Spain the scoreline could be like a basketball scoreline

Well Australia once beat American Samoa by 31-0, with Archie Thompson scoring a world record of 13 goals. So Torres' 4 against Tahiti is nothing to shout about really. That just shows the vast difference between the teams in the Oceania group.

It's a matter of numbers of goals scored against Tahiti. Should Nigeria somehow beat Spain, Uruguay needs to score at least 6 goals to get the better of Nigeria ( more if Nigeria won by more than 1 goal)

this brazil - italy match refereeing standard came from where sia

Well deserved win for Brazil,Italy performance in this competition is really horrible,dont know how they gonna face Spain this thursday.

damm i missed the match, but why montolivo and abate subbed early ?

Both injured. Aquilani had a horrendous performance in this game. Mysteriously El Sharaawy was on playing 2nd half although report suggest he's still injured & not yet fit.

what happen to italia defensive style?
so easy to score a goals

italy purposely lose want to face spain revenge

Generally speaking it was an improved performance by Italy, they took their game on Brazil unlike against Japan...u cant be too defensive against the like of Brazil but again, they should not be too reliant on superseniors Buffon and Pirlo anymore...youngsters please stand up!...Now, we can only 'hope' that Italy will revenge their euro defeat though

highlights of the brazil vs italy .. brazil seems a better side .. italy is like tak main bagus2 ...

got overrun in the midfield...bcoz both Aquilani & Montolivo were not the ball winning type like De Rossi but still a much improved performance compared to against Japan

now looking forward to the clash vs Spain...a bit of revenge is on my mind but not putting the hope so high

Montolivo just played for 30 minutes of first half bro..

dat why i said the mf got overrun. U figure why prandelli sub him out after 30min

hehehehe i missed the match, but he was subbed because of injury or lack of "something" ?

double post sorry

Aquilani was so bad in that game it wasn't even funny. After Pirlo retire, really Italy has nobody to man the midfield.

The Abate injury was really unlucky. He fall so awkwardly that he might have broke his arm.

Brazil well won, so very much expect Spain vs Brazil

The irony of the people in Brazil doing protest daily about World Cup but they still come and give their mightiest support to the team

Monto had a knock on his head bro,plus he can play as anchor too just like De Rossi but Prandelli prefer him on midfield.For me the most useless would be Aquaman,watched him play in serie A last season he always make reckless challenge & footing,i dont effing understand why Prandelli still favor this guy.

The whole system is dependence on how Pirlo would distributed his passing,this is something they should cover when he's not available.Luckily he has a replacement like U21 Verrati,so i have much more expectation from Azzuri in next year world cup.

Spain vs Italy

and Brazil probably meet Uruguay...coz i don't expect Nigeria gonna beat Spain or hoping dat Uruguay lose to Tahiti

Brazil vs Uruguay and Spain vs Italy it is

there'll be the clash of continent heavyweights in the final for sure

or uruguay vs italy lolz

aniwei top scorers

hopefully

but italy are underdog dis time around so lets senyap2 wait n see

Balotelli ruled out of Confederations Cup

El-Sharawy to showcase his talent

last i read El Sha also not at 100%...the best choice probably only Gilardino..

Gilardino against Spain...???? NOOOOOO!!!!!!

Italy will revert back to 3 man defense after horrible performance againts Brazil.

Italy probable: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Maggio, De Rossi, Pirlo, Giaccherini; Candreva, Montolivo; Gilardino.


Sharaawy supposed not to be called up for this cup when he's not even 1st choice by coach as he would gotten more play time with the U21 team. This is a mistake.

TORRES FOR GOLDEN BOOT

Bonucci is the new Ramos. Congratz Spain.

What a boring game..fuuu
Buffon & Casillas..penalty stopper look like gone already

boring? what bcoz u expect another trashing like Euro final?
