Confederations Cup 2013 - Final: Brazil 3-0 Spain

[Pepe Silvia]

Ramos is the MAN.

Pirlo, Barzagli, Marchisio picked up injuries, De Rossi & Chiellini muscle fatigue. All at risk for missing the third place match. Pirlo/Barzagli almost a certainty, the others will be assessed later.

Damn, yesterday really did some of them in...

I think they'd rather be on there holidays, than play a third placed playoff.

Probably, plus some of them (the Juve/Milan players) have to do that tournament here in the US in a few weeks, they need the rest.

Ramos seems to be improving. He made a few errors in the world cup, but now he looks more assured and doesn't look like making a mistake.

 

[impeh]

cesc is back, spain will win

since they have such a good squad, will they make a few changes for the final? after the long game against Italy..

 

[Barcilliant]

Is there a more underrated defender in world football?

All I ever read especially within Britain is that he can't defend, he's shit, a liability etc. Yes he has had stupid red cards for Real and makes silly fouls, Thiago Silva also makes stupid fouls and everyone is wax lyrical over him. Ramos is one of the best defenders in the world, IMO.

A Ramos/Pique partnership @Barca would be studly.

 

[impeh]

Italy; Buffon, Maggio, Chiellini, Astori, De Sciglio, Candreva, Gilardino, El Shaarawy, De Rossi, Montolivo, Diamanti

Uruguay; Muslera, Lugano, Godin, Gargano, Rodriguez, Suarez, Forlan, Maxi Pereira, Arevalo, Cavani, Caceres

16mins in, 0-0 atm in the third place play off.
