From Wednesday's Opener. Argentina won 2-1. Could have lost it because of Lux's fouls in the box but thankfully we rightfully won.

How do they decide the countries that play in the Confed Cup? Pardon my asking, but I'm kind of a novice to international soccer. I know about World Cup qualifying, and have a fairly good grasp of the Premier League (Go Arsenal!), and that's about it.

All the Winners or the Major Tournaments go. 8 Teams. 2 Groups of 4. Top 2 from each group go to the knockout stage. Now, the teams are decided as follows...
1. The Winner of the World Cup (Brazil)
2. The Winner of the Euro Cup (Greece)
3. The Winner of the Copa America--South America (Brazil, but since they are already qualified they give it to the 2nd place team of the tourney which was Argentina)
4. The Winner of the Gold Cup (Mexico)
5. The Winner of the Asian Tournament....Don't know the Name of the Cup. (Japan)
6. The Winner of the African Tournament...Don't know the Name of the Cup. (Tunisia)
7. The Winner of the Oceania Tournament...Don't know the Name of the Cup. (Australia)
8. The Host of the Country in which the Tournament is being held. (Germany)
So pretty much its a clash of the Champions, but most teams bring their B squads because it is not as important as the World Cup as the tournament is much shorter. Good Soccer gets played though. Argentina won 4-2 against Australia today. Riquelme scored again and Figeroa got a Hat-Trick, and Germany beat Tunisia 3-0 scoring all 3 goals in the last 15-20 mins, it all started with a Michael Ballack Penalty Kick in the 72'.

I expect Argentina and Germany will both play to win but won't kill themselves doing it. Hopefully Pekerman will play Tevez because hez has been limited in his play time.

Argentina won 4-2 over Australia.
Goals by Riquelme and a Hat-Trick by Figueroa.
I remember at the Copa America when Figueroa started playing well, that they said he could be a very good player for Argentina and could be the next Batistuta, because of his scoring talent and his ability to header the ball really well ala Bati-Gol!

Watch Brazil choke and not qualify for the next round...
Anyway, saw the game today and both teams played strong but WOW...Jared Borgetti has got to be thanking the Heavens he scored the game winning goal because had he not, he would be the SCAPEGOAT for the Mexican Fanbase. He missed a PK twice! Yes he scored it on the first attempt, but as soon as the second one came up he started to stagger as he ran toward the ball and you know from there his head had been messed with.
First time I ever saw that. One PK being taken 3 times! Unbelievable.
Mexico will play Greece and will probably rest a couple starters in Wednesday's game. Brazil will play Japan and the winner will qualify for the next round.

Argentina 1 Germany 1
Decent game. Argentina isn't attacking as much as it can. They are relaxing a little because they know they have already qualified for the next round. Germany also isn't attacking all the way as they have decided to let Ballack rest.
BTW, what a Free Kick goal by Riquelme!!!
