    Oceania would not be a confederation i dont think, i dont even know if they will continue to be at the moment so weak compared to any other confederation

    Yeah I was thinking about that the other day actually. I wouldn't be surprised to see Oceania be absorbed by Asia in the future. There are a heap of weak Asian countries as well like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Hong Kong, etc. so it wouldn't be too bad ITBT.

    yeah that is a strong possibility for the future, its just stupid having such a weak nation playing in a competition like this

    Nah Italy actually played well for the first 10 minutes and the majority of the second half, but Brazil were quite literally just too good.

    Brazil played like Netherlands in EURO 2008. It was actually quite frightening to watch how quickly they countered and how accurate their passes were to get from one side of the field of the other. Unbelievable stuff, 3 goals in 7 minutes and Italy were killed off. And it's not as if Italy played outrageously poorly ... it's just that Brazil were out of this world and wholeheartedly wanted to be there; and it showed. They played with some substance and a hell of a lot of flair.

    What's more is that USA won 3-0 against Egypt! I didn't watch the game as I had to go to school but I couldn't believe it when I heard it. USA were down and out. Already with 2 losses, it looked like they were going home. But they actually make it through to the next round on goals scored as their goal difference and Italy's goal difference were the same. What a crazy turn of events!

    Last night's results:
    Brazil 3-0 Italy
    USA 3-0 Egypt

    Final Group B standings
    1. Brazil - 9
    2. USA - 3 (-2) [4 goals scored]
    3. Italy - 3 (-2) [3 goals scored]
    4. Egypt - 3 (-3)

    Semi-final games have been confirmed.

    Spain vs. United States
    Brazil vs. South Africa

    Although there may be a chance of an upset, I think everyone is expecting a Spain-Brazil final and I personally can't wait for it. It's going to be a ****ing showpiece.

    Poor defending from Spain all game. WTF was Ramos doing for USA 2nd goal. What defender takes a touch when they're 6 yards from your own goal.
