FIFA Confederations Cup

Two Kiwis, are they twins?

Well there's not really that much to hope for. Aside from our 5 Spaniards and Dossena, the only other player from a top four PL club is Fabregas

On a different point - Iniesta has amazingly not been called up by Spain.

The radio earlier claimed Iniesta and Senna were injured.

Its on RTE2 over here in Ireland.

Not the best opening game. Iraq had the better of the opening 15 mins but then SA got into the game and were dominant for the second half. Neither side created much but Iraq were clearly only interested in claiming a point, which they looked like losing out on when a late cross into their box was missed by the keeper and met by a South African head on target, only to be blocked by a team-mate, with the open goal gaping.

Final score 0-0, good point for Iraq, pressure on the host nation who now find themselves needing to be New Zealand on Wednesday to have realistic hopes of qualifying.

That accidental block was about the only highlight in the whole game. Very dull.

Yeah Iniesta is out with the injury that troubled him prior to the CL final.

Ah, that explains it then.

What do we think for Spain v NZ then?

Hatfull of goals for Spain or tight close victory?

[Joe King]

The former.

[Craig_H]

Gotta be 3-0 or 4-0 i'd say.

I was tempted by 6/4 on Spain -3 but i left it.

[johnly]

should be a demolition this, nice walk in the park for Spain and our boys there

[Reece]

Wow. Sexy Tits

[Joe King]

Fine finish

[johnly]

Fine goal from Nando there, he's ****ing great aint he!

[Craig_H]

Just dont go getting inured, you beautiful little creature

[Craig_H]

This is like a training match at the moment.

Spain could easily hit 5 or 6 if they can be arsed.

[Shaggy]

2-0 Nando
