Confederations Cup
2nd Semi-Final
Brazil V South Africa
As with Spain in group A, Brazil cruised through to the semi`s winning all three group matches and topping the group, on paper this was a harder group to win, with Italy, Egypt and the USA to contend with, as stated in previous articles Italy were really a shadow of them former selves, Egypt were tough but not unbeatable and the USA conceded too many goals in their fist two games (6 conceded scored 1), and although the USA team scraped through to the other semi, this really does look like being a Spain V Brazil final.
Not forgetting that there is also a play off for third place.
South Africa managed one win and one draw in Spain`s group, they drew 0-0 with Iraq and went on to beat New Zealand 2-0, their final group game was a 2-0 loss to Spain.
South Africa are the hosts and will probably give Brazil a reasonable game, but you really cannot see Brazil going out at this stage.
As with the other semi this game is priced with Brazil to go through, although -334 for a 90 minute win is again not very appealing.
Again I am going to have a punt on a correct score as an interest.
