  This was the weekend following the death (on Thursday) of Michael Jackson, I was expecting a plethora of Jacko shows, tributes and the like on the TV and they didn’t let me down. On Saturday the weather had a bit of a change, the sky had been grey ...

  USA 2 – 3 Brazil The 2009 Confederations Cup Final was fought between unlikely finalists USA and of course the mighty Brazil, Brazil had to be seen as favourites but the USA have shown us not to write them off. The first half wasn’t good for Braz...

  Posted on Thursday June 25th, 2009 at 15:45 in football, sport, Brazil, south africa, confederations cup, semi final

  The second semi final of the Confed Cup this evening was between Brazil and the host nation South Africa, one would of course expect this to be a fairly comfortable win for Brazil (no offence to South Africa intended) but after last night famous vict...

  Spain 0 – 2 USA The first semi final of the Confed cup should you would think be a foregone conclusion, the champions of Europe and many (including myself) think possibly the best side in the world, Spain, against the team who didn’t look anythin...

  Both games on day five of the Confed Cup are evening matches, both being played at the same time so no advantage is gained by the teams knowing what the opposition has done. The game to be televised is Spain against South Africa so I will be watching...

  Spain 1 – 0 Iraq Today’s afternoon game while I was at work was Spain against Iraq, Spain were very good in their first game while Iraq were pretty damn poor, so a win was expected for Spain. It sounds as though Spain dominated the major part of ...

  Brazil 4 – 3 Egypt The first game of day two of the Confederations Cup was Brazil against Egypt, this game was on during the afternoon while I was at work so I wasn’t able to see it. Despite the fact that Egypt aren’t a bad side I would still h...
