well you've gotta think that either France, brazil or the US will win. i have'nt got a clue about the current form of france or brazil but obviously brazil won the world cup so they must be favourites.
France were poor in the world cup but they were without ZZ most of the time. if he's back and Henry is playing, they should go far.
its strange how little attention the Confederations Cup gets over here. its always been a very poorly acknowledged tournament, even though its effectively a mini world cup.

Brazil, France, and Turkey all look good. Cameroon maybe upset someone again.

Preki turns 40 this month and is the leading goal scorer in MLS with 7 !

Preki (or Predrag Radosavljevic to give him his full name)was my favourite player at Everton for a bit he only used to really come on as substitute , but he was so skillfull .
I didnt know he was still playing though .

Turkey have been excellent in recent years and in the last world cup, but the last few games i have seen them play, they've been quite poor. i don't expect them to do much. they were crap against england in the recent match.
i don't rate japan either. i can only see the winner being either France, Brazil or the US. and i'll go for the sexy football of Brazil to win again!
