A friendly tournament that involves a lot of money for the winners. (Not that it counts too much for those players.... :p : )
Italy was so happy with the 3rd place that you might say they won the cup.

Well, as I've said some posts above it's already a rule that the team that wins the Conf. Cup will not win the WC next year.

Let me guess: Casillas was great again :p :

Don't put Casillas down.
He was as good as Arbeloa. ;)

I think Brazil are one of the favourites for the World Cup simply because the tournament is in Brazil and that adds extra motivation to the players. But I think the two strongest sides are Spain and Germany. My only question mark against Germany is can they keep up their physical game throughout a tournament?

I don't think Casillas was bad at all... The rest of them ahem... especially Albeloa and Ramos...

Well they didn't win in South Africa either...

No. I watch all World Cup, European Championship, La Liga and Champions League games. Add some Premier League/Serie A/Bundesliga/Copa America. After this overdose the Confed cup and Olympics is simply not on the menu (I ignore the Olympics in its entirety, not just football)

Donks . . . . your Villa Maravilla is Barca's no more.
At least at Atletico Madrid he will play much more.

I'm looking forward to Barca's new STRONG defender . . . . . who will it be????

I know... my sis sent me a whatsapp to say he was passing his medical this morning at her workplace :p
David Villa pasa el reconocimiento mdico - MARCA.com

His first important game will be against Barcelona :bandit:

At this rate It will be Neymar.

They have bought him and have been linked with Aguero.

I was screaming at the Radio. "Buy a Defender FFS"

David Luiz was mentioned, but yet to hear anything certain
