Confederations Cup Update

Well as usual with my soccer predictions. I am wrong. This time, however, I have no problems with being wrong as USA BEAT SPAIN!!! U-S-A! U-S-A!

But how did we get here?

Here is the quick and dirty. USA got blown out by Italy 3-1. We then got blown out by Brazil 3-0. For our final game we had to beat Egypt by 3 and Brazil had to beat Italy by 3 (goal differential stuff, it doesn't really matter). Both games were played at the same time and amazingly the impossible happened. Italy even scored an own goal to lose 3-0 and USA finally showed up to a game and won 3-0. This left team USA playing against the number one ranked in the world team, Spain. Spain had not lost in their last 35 matches, had a 15 game winning streak, and had not allowed a goal since April 1st. Spain had easily cruised past South Africa, New Zealand (Fernando Torres had a hat trick in the first 16 minutes), and Iraq. I'm sure Spain thought they were going to have another easy game. This video pretty much sums up what happened.

So what happens now?

Tomorrow (or by the time you read this, today) South Africa plays Brazil. South Africa tied Iraq, beat New Zealand and then lost to Spain. Brazil on the other hand scored at least 3 goals in their last three wins as they cruised through the group stage. I am pretty confident that Brazil is going to win leaving a final of Brazil v USA. The game is on Sunday and should be a good one. I really will be surprised though if USA can pull out another win. A little side note, this is the first time in the history of the USA soccer team that they have made it to the final of any FIFA tournament. Big Deal.

U-S-A! U-S-A!

Confederations Cup Update Again, Again.

I was done but Torres just scored again in the 17th minute.  He already has a hat trick in less than 18 minutes.  Spain is still good.

Confederations Cup Update Again

Torres just scored again in the 14th minute.  Spain is good.  I'm done with updates.

Confederations Cup Update

Spain is good.  It took them (Fernando Torres) 6 minutes to score their first goal against New Zealand and they already should have scored 3 times.

The Confederations Cup

I like to write about international soccer tournaments for some reason.  It takes a ton of time to write and nobody reads it, but for some reason I get great satisfaction out of it.  So here is my prediction and preview of the 2009 Confederations Cup.

What is the Confederations Cup?

From ESPN:  Since 1997, the Confederations Cup (in its current format) has pitted the top ranked teams in each federation against each other in a tournament that is more than just a test of World Cup facilities.

The competition is contested by the winners of each of the six FIFA confederation championships (CAF, CONMEBOL, UEFA, AFC, OFC, CONCACAF), along with the FIFA World Cup winner (Italy), and the host country (South Africa.)  It is held every four years on the year before the World Cup at the upcoming host country.  It is kind of like a dress rehearsal for the World Cup.

The tournament was originally organized and held in Saudi Arabia and called the King Fahd Cup contested by the Saudi Arabia team and some continental champions.  In 1997 FIFA took over the organization of the tournament and established what it is today.

This leaves us with an interesting tournament as each of the six FIFA confederations are quite different.  Some confederations are full of great teams while others are a mediocre talent pool.  For example, the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has such national teams as Germany, Italy, Spain and France while the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) consists of teams Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, and Fiji to name a few.

Side note, team USA’s confederation is one of the longest acronyms ever.  CONCACAF - Confederation of North, Central American and Carribean Association Football.

So who is in this tournament?

This year the Confederations Cup will consist of Brazil, Egypt, Italy, Iraq, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain, and the United States.

On November 22, 2008 draw for the competition was done in Johannesburg.  Each team was represented in the draw by their competitor in the Miss World 2008 competition, well except for Iraq which was represented by Miss World 2007, Zhang Zilin, from China.  I understand why Iraq wouldn’t have a Miss World representative but it seems odd that China would represent them, oh well.

The two groups came out like this.

Group A:  South Africa, Spain, Iraq, and New Zealand

Group B: United States, Italy, Brazil, and Egypt

This certainly leaves us with an easy group (Group A) and a hard group (Group B).

The top two teams in each group move on to the next round.

So how will each team fair?

Group A

South Africa

South Africa automatically got a bid as they are the 2010 World Cup host.  They aren’t much of a threat but they have home pitch advantage.  They tied Iraq earlier today which is better than I thought they would do.  I think South Africa will beat New Zealand maybe 1-0.  This will be nice as they can get their confidence up to play Spain.  Unfortunately their confidence will quickly be crushed as Spain is going to beat them around 4-0.  South Africa will not make it out of the group stage.

Spain

Spain must have been really happy when they saw the group they got put in.  Every other team is much less talented.  Spain is currently playing New Zealand and should score soon, in the end I think Spain will win 2-0 or so.  After beating New Zealand, Spain will play their toughest group match, against Iraq.  Spain will come out victorious with a 2-1 score.  Spain will then play South Africa and beat them as I said before, 4-0.  Spain will easily make it out of the group stage.

Iraq

Iraq has a decent team and they shouldn’t have too much trouble getting out of the group stage.  I am surprised that they tied South Africa though.  Iraq will next play Spain and lose.  After their tie and loss they should redeem themselves with a solid win over New Zealand and make it out of the group stage by having a better goal differential than South Africa.

New Zealand

New Zealand unfortunately is going to lose every game.  The All Whites just aren’t on the same level as the rest of the teams.  They will have a quick tournament and a quick exit.

Group B

United States

The United States is a decent team but unfortunately they are going to have a hard time getting out of Group B.  They will need to pull an upset over Brazil or Italy which is pretty hard to do.  I think that they will lose close ones to both and beat Egypt but that won’t be enough to get them out.

Italy

Italy is a good solid team who are the current World Cup champions.  Italy is known for playing very tough defense where as soon as they score a goal they are content to play keep away for the rest of the game.  Some people love Italy, I hate their style of play as I find it extremely boring.  Italy will beat the US and Egypt but lose to Brazil.  Italy will be the Group B runner up.

Brazil

Brazil is the team to beat in this group.  They have gotten stronger on defense while still maintaining their quick play.  Brazil is going to win every game to make it out the group stage.  The Brazil v. Italy match should be an excellent game.

Egypt

Egypt is unfortunately going to have a hard time as I think they will lose every game.  Egypt is also a decent team but Italy and Brazil are just too good.  Egypt could pull an upset of the United States but I’m pretty confident they aren’t going to win any games.  They will not make it out of the group stage.

Semi-Finals

If everything goes the was I think it will (it probably won’t) we will end up with two interesting semi-finals matches.  Spain v. Italy and Brazil v. Iraq.

Spain v. Italy will be a great game where Spain has a difficult time scoring but in the end is victorious with a 1-0 score.

Brazil v. Iraq will be pretty lopsided and Brazil will win 3-0.  Hopefully Brazil will have kind of their way with this game and play with lots of confidence and flair.

This leaves us with the third place match of Italy v. Iraq.  Again, I think Iraq will lose in a boring 1-0 game.  Italy will score and then play their poor excuse of soccer called keep away.  If you are reading this and are part Italian or something, I’m sorry if this offends you, but the Italian style of play is boring, boring, boring.

While the third place match should be lame the final will hopefully more than make up for it as Spain v. Brazil should be a great match between two attacking teams known for quick play with lots of style.  Last year Spain won the European Cup and have proven to be one of the best teams in the world.  They have many excellent players in Sergio Ramos, Xavi Hernandez, David Villa, and one of the best players in the world Fernando Torres.  Brazil is always a juggernaut in international tournaments as they constantly have great talent.  Brazil also has an excellent squad with such players as Robinho, and Kaka (who just signed a six year contract with Real Madrid for around 67.2 million euros).  I think that this game will go back and forth but in the end Spain will win with a score of 2-1.

So there you have it.  I’m very confident in my picks but maybe this will be like the Euro cup where I proceeded to get much of it wrong.  Good luck to me.

This is awkward

Our First Ever Guest Post

So two out of three of us (Danny and Stefan) talked about having a guest poster every once and a while.  Fortunately for us, one of our friends was willing to appear on theSSHH.  To protect his identity his name has been changed to 'Patrick' but you can also call him 'The Wrecking Ball'.  I thought about giving some kind of introduction to this topic and why we asked him to write about this, but it is amazing on its own.

I forewarn you, this might be the greatest post ever.

Girls Only Like Bad Boys…
By: 'Patrick' aka 'The Wrecking Ball'

When you hear the phrase, “Girls Only Like Bad Boys,” Good Guys all around the world cringe. “What about us?!” they say. Well, I got news for you; Good Guys can do more damage than you might think. Here is how:

First, lets be honest, single, hot women do like the bad boys. Why? Who knows, bitches be whack. They are all into the Bad Boys, get used and then wonder what happened. Fuck em. Serves them right for not seeing what was right in front of their faces!!! 

BUT, the hot girls who are in relationships are prime targets for a smooth Good Guy. Inevitably, after some time even the best efforts of a Bad Boy leaves the hot bitch wanting more. The hot girl isn’t being treated like her girlfriends say she should be. Enter you, Mr. Smooth Good Guy. Don’t come on too strong, right now your role is a breath of fresh air… the hot chick has been dealing with the over powering stank of a Bad Boy for a while now… let her enjoy the fresh air. 

Bad Boys act like dicks to women and the chicks dig it. Don’t do that. Don’t be that guy. You have to walk the line between flattering and aloof. Be blunt, say they are amazingly hot, but don’t say it to get in her pants… just casually let it fly… then walk away. They will say “hey, wait, he may have actually meant that!” No, not really, but that’s laying the groundwork. Your goal here is to give a little taster of what they are missing. 

Next, buy them a drink and don’t even hesitate to pay and then walk on to the table like its no big deal. No corny lines (“Hey, whatcha drinkin??”) and no highlighting the fact that you just bought them a drink and you better get a HJ tonight, at minimum… no none of that. Make them feel like their mere presence made buying the drink worthwhile. 

If there are other girls around, work them over a bit too. Don’t act like you are placing all your money on the one hot chick. You don’t need to talk to her, you choose to. But, make sure that you are around enough, and at the right times. When others head to the bar, make your way to her and fill the gap. Make eye contact. Challenge her with your looks to meet you there. Without being a dick, ignore the other people and focus on her when you are by her – but remember to work the rest of the group too. Its another fine line to walk, but it will come to you. Eventually you will see that she is looking to see where you are and whether you are coming over. Like taking candy from a baby.

Now, lets talk about attitude for a second. This might be the most important part. We have established that you are not going to be a dick. BUT, you must be confident. Notice that I said ‘confident’ NOT ‘cocky.’ If she happens to call you out as being cocky, be quick to point out that just because you are confident and know what you want doesn’t make you cocky. Act like you could have her if you wanted and you choose to be the nice guy. Basically, you are better than the Bad Boys. 

Things not to talk about: your latest trip to Vegas and the strippers who face fucked the bachelor, the last time you got so fucked up you made out with fat chicks, or anything about how you saved the world last night in Halo. You can talk about your last GF and the breakup. How could this be, you ask?! Well, you need to show that you learned from the break up and you are still good friends and hang out with the lying bitch. Wait, you are mature enough to learn from the breakup and still be friends?! Yes, you are a mother fucking Good Guy, write that shit down.

OK, so she is diggin your shit now. You are everything that duche bag, piece of shit, Bad Boy BF isn’t. You are almost there. By now you have both had a few drinks, you have complimented her, she knows you are mature and confident, what’s left?? This next step is key. When you get close to her (at the bar away from the group, maybe at the pool table, or even passing by on the way to/from the bathroom), fucking kiss her. Guarantee she won’t expect that!! HAHAHA. Now, DON’T BACK DOWN! Stand there for more, or stand there like that was supposed to happen. You just proved that Good Guys have huge fuckin balls. Give her a look like you just took what you wanted and god damnit you liked it. 

OK, so lets be honest here for a second. Ideally, she would kiss you, which can happen. But, she has stuck around all night and intentionally roamed away from her friends and where the fuck is the fucking duche tonight anyway?? Clearly not as close as they should be… so if you kiss her, don’t feel bad… she was asking for it. 

Now its time for a few disclaimers... and I give these to you from personal experience. First, don’t fall for the bitch. You just inserted yourself into a fucking whirlwind of flying shit. Have some fun and get out! The lovely couple has history, so it isn’t going to end all of a sudden just because of you. You might get a tug or maybe a slip of the tip, just once. But lets be honest, she is going to be all sorts of emotional and a wreck for a bit no matter what. Let that shit storm pass by. Maybe she is there waiting after its all done, maybe not. Don’t go in thinking that will work out. Next, DO NOT do any of this with the BF or really close friend around. You will get your ass beat. If she is diggin it with a good friend around, you are made. She is willing to have it known and she hasn’t stopped. But you have to take the lead from her for a little bit to make sure the coast is clear. 

In this situation the Good Guy got the girl (even if just for one night) and the Bay Boy is left dealing with the bitch who just cheated on him and because you showed her the light, she actually hates the BF for her cheating! Haha SUCKER! 

That, my friends, is how to get the girl when you are a Good Guy. It might not work the first time, or even the few times after that. But, with some hard work, practice, and big balls, you will get the girl.
