[Archived] Confederations Cup

[Iceman]

What is the score between Spain and Iraq?

[T4E]

1-0, Villa got it.

Its on the BBC red button for those capable of receiving.

[Hughesy]

Hope our boy plays for SA later - will be good to watch him.

[Iceman]

Only 1-0. Iraq must probably be parking the bus again.

[Billy Castell]

Were Gabby Logan and co. flicking their beans over Spain again? I know it was only New Zealand, but they never mentioned anything about any of their players and didn't even bother showing the team line up. They just spent the build up cooing over the Spanish team like a bunch of 14 year olds meeting Zach Efron. Very disrespectful if you ask me, and further proof that Gabby Logan is rubbish.

Best imagery used on this site, ever.

[Ronin]

Finished 1-0 Spain, and for what I'd seen of it (stuck at work so watching it on BBC website ) Iraq didn't really been park the bus and they made some good plays just couldn't finish. Spain didn't seem to be at top gear for parts of the game.

Looking forward to match tonight, I'm sure it'll be a right classic (if it was rugby perhaps)

[Tom]

It just showed the South African team turning up at the stadium on BBC3 singing and dancing, was quite a sight to behold actually

[yankrover]

Shame that Benni isn't playing. It would help keep him from getting too fat. He's probably in the stands eating right now.

[Tom]

Last year this match would have featured two rover's players as captains, sadly only Elrio is in either squad and he probably wont get on the pitch.

[Iceman]

1-0 SA. Our speedy striker, is having a good game. So not too bothered that Benni aint playing. Teko Modise playing well again

is van heerden on the bench Iceman?

[Tom]

He is on the becnh Den, along with 10 other players though so i doubt we'll see him.

[Iceman]

Its a much better performance from SA thus far. We playing some neat football, and our left back Tsepo Masilela is doing well.

is van heerden on the bench Iceman?

Yeah he is on the bench. Cant see him coming on as the coach might decide to keep things tight. Im not happy with Joel Santana though, his tactics is baffling and very confusing.

[67splitscreen]

Edit answered above.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

SA have some tidy, skilful players.

2-0.

[Mr. E]

Should we be worried that apparently he's fit and ready to go but still can't get into a side which has Mokoena as captain?

[Tom]

No reason to worry he's still a young lad.

Is it me or is pieenars contributions vastly exagerrated by the commentators? Every time he touches the ball they fawn over him

[Bobby G]

Snap up the left footer, Shabalala or thats how his name sounds.

[Iceman]

Snap up the left footer, Shabalala or thats how his name sounds.

Aah Simphiwe Tshabalala. He is a menace down the left, quicker than Perdersen, and more skillful. He certainly aint afraid to take on a player. Once again, ill stress on the lad Modise that he is a classy player who might join Pienaar at Everton.

[Bobby G]

Quicker than Pedersen? Doesnt say much mate!

[Iceman]

Well its an improvement Bobby. Lol.

[Bobby G]

On a side note, for Gods sake someone destroy those annoying trumpets or whatever people are blowing during games. I fear for the World Cup...

[Commondore]

Modise impressed me with his technical ability, but he played like a 7-year old who think he's best in his team and demands to do everything himself...

Can someone remind me on why Benni isn't in the squad?

[Ronin]

They've already had a few complaints it would seem
