Arr sh*t yeah I forgot it was in South Africa.

South Africa are more or less the same time-zone as us, aren't they?

Having just checked, Cape Town are GMT+1.

Oh, that's alright then!

I can see Torres getting a few there in that competition.

To be honest i cant see anyone other than Spain winning in S.Africa 2010, they well turn out to be the first European team to win the World Cup outside Europe!

Torn between Spani and Iraq.

The Confederations Cup is a fairly pointless tournament in my eyes, I see it as more of an unnecessary injury risk. Having said that though, I can see why it might be a big deal for the lesser footballing nations. I suppose all we can do is hope that no big players pick up any injuries

Love the 'watch out or you will be killed' feeling followed by 'other than that its great!' vibe

Loving that its on TV here. Pointless tournament i agree but football is football.

Looking forward to this competition starting to get severe withdrawl systems already and the season only finished a couple of weeks.

I'm looking forward to it too, will be cheering on the Spanish lads I guess.

Spain beat Azerbaijan 6-0 in a warm up, Reira and Torres got on the score sheet, Villa got a first half half hatrick, Torres, Reira, Arbeloa and Alonso played the full 90 mins with Reina replacing Casillas in the second half, to be honest suprised to see our players playing 90 mins especially Torres.

When was this?

Just read it on the official site so it must have being in the last couple of hours.

Yeah, kicked off about 5pm I think

It's interesting that Riera seems to be holding down that left wing spot as of late despite facing some very good competition, notably Silva.

Silva's injured.

Silva's injured.

Good, maybe he'll cost less. :

Ah right, makes sense.

Hopefully yeah!
