Does anyone actually care about the confederations cup?
>>69271739
no it's like the fifa club world cup
no it's an exhibition cup
mexico cares
not blasting them. they travel well to support their team and they won it back in 1999. but who knows after 7-0.
Winners do
just mexicans
same goes for the olympics
only mexicans care
>>69271739
the players that play in it
the nations that participate
and that's literally it
>i think we won it
>yes we did
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
>>69271739
Once you are there, you care about winning.

>germany will play the confed cup in 2017
I will care this time
I promise
I watched it in 2013 and it was lots of fun
The last three were highly entertaining (in spite of Tahiti).
Brazil x Argentina in 2005 is one of my favorite matches ever, even though water fell from the roof (> German engineering)
>Japan - Italy 2013
>Implying it was not the best game of the year
Same as world club cup. the players wish they didn't have to be there
>>69271739
Why does this exists when there is already a World Cup?
Fucking why?
It's like a glorified friendly tournament
>>69271739
It looks like it's going to be fun for banter purposes
>>69273534
>not enjoying tahiti
>>69273727
Same thing for the UEFA Super Cup, nobody know why it exists, but it does.
>>69273728
We'll be playing it if Germany wins the UEFA
>tfw CL is a just a qualifying tournament for the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup
>tfw WC is just a qualifying tournament for the FIFA Confederations Cup
so many meme tournaments
>>69271739
I think the players care, because they certainly celebrate winning it.
>>69273727
It's basically a warm up. Help the host country get used to dealing with a big tournament
>>69271739
>We won two of these
It's obviously very important.
>>69273727
It's a warm up for the World Cup.
>>69273727
It's basically a giant rehearsal for the country hosting the world cup.
How do you say EH PUTO in russian?
>>69271739
yes, if you want to claim to have won everything. olympic gold medal, world cup, euro cup, confederation cup.
we did.
>>69274037
>tfw won the last world cup warm up tournament not be the confed cup
>>69274037
>his team has never won La Tournoi 1997
>>69274037
only one country has won everything in every categories (u17, u19, u21, A)
>>69273851
>>69273870
>>69273888
not initially
>>69273804
Nope, the finalist of the Euro will
Brazilians do because they think it means they're going to win the World Cup the next year.
>implicando que mexico no gana esta copa.
>>69274142
we have won it in 1988 lad
>>69273550
Why is Pepe so fat now?
>>69271739
Only gave a shit when we won it in 2001, then I realized it was "literally nothing: the trophy" and stopped caring.
>>69274266
fat acceptance propaganda
>>69273979
shut the fuck up texas
>>69273782
or the FIFA Club World Cup which is even worse since it's in the middle of the first half of the season
>>69271739
It got less meme since it became a "pre WC" tournament, which was in 2005 if I recall.
>>69273728
>Wales
>South Africa
>>69274204
literally the opposite
I didn't even know it existed
(Probably becasue we haven't won a CA in a long time)
>>69273979
eh putin
lol no
>>69274204
It is not only that. You have to win everything. Emerson Leão was sacked after the 2001 Confederations Cup. Vanderlei Luxemburgo was sacked after he lost the Olympics.
>>69274284
A lesser number of teams guarantees clashes that we want but might not see in the WC, like Brazil x Spain in 2013 and Brazil x Argentina in 2005.
>>69271739
No but there have been some fun goals.

7:1
>>69271865
lad you get an olympic medal for it and its surely a chance for young talent to be discovered/appreciated
i mean its not really important for football itself, but its a feat like any other gold
>>69273409
>Fred
Reminder that Fred scored two goals against spain and italy and won the Golden boot. How shit can you be to get scored twice by him?
>>69273240
>winning it just before and just after 2002
>>69273727
Pic related, also to test out the nexct WC's host infrastructure.
>>69275194
>ocean lover
I'm pretty sure USA will think they won the WC if they win this title someday
>>69274941
kek
>>69275233
This. I enjoy to take a peak at the stadiums. We'll see if Russia has there good to go next year
>>69275263
They almost did once... Epic Twitter shitposting after full time
>>69273451
Still remember that Japan match. It was based.
>>69275165
You shut your whore mouth about the GOAT
Its a fun tournament. The USA run in 2009 was literally fucking GOAT. I'm still so bummed we choked away the final after leading brazil 2-0.
>>69275263
You fucking know it.
The US teams best results internationally are 4th in the copa america, runner up in the confederations cup, 3rd in the world cup (1930 lmao), and multiple gold cup championships (mickey mouse cup). So a confederations cup win would be our biggest ever. REEEE OF COURSE MEXICO IS GOING AGAIN INSTEAD OF US THOUGH
>>69274145
Fuck off, cunt.
>>69271739
>>69271865
Olympic medals are good though
confederation cups are the equivalent of the mls cup
no one gives a shit
Australia will win ;)
Quick trivia:
Which of the WOrld champions is the only one never to play the Confederations Cup?
Australia has been doing a training montage in the desert, punching cacti and raising our power level. We will win
>>69277813
Fucking oathh we will
>>69277769
Italy
>>69277994
Ok nevermind, its the anglo as always, I forgot they are world champions.
>>69271739
It's like the domestic cup (TIM cup, Copa Del Rey, whatever u call it in bundesliga/premier), but global.
Fun adventure that's nice to win, if u don't no biggie.
The most interesting thing about 2017 will be seeing how well Chile does.
If France is Euro champion, eventual rematch with Germany too.
>>69278874
Chile are going to win because they are the only ones who will give a fuck. Aside from Mexico of course but >7-0
>>69278874
STOP PRESSURING ME
>>69271739
It's a nice little meme cup.
>>69271739
Basically the only soccer tournament of interest to me outside of the World Cup personally.
>>69278874
pls no more brazil, I don't want to be dissapointed if we lose
Brazil not going to thso Confed Cup is a blessing, we won the last three Confed Cups and lost the WCs.
>>69271739
Varejao plays soccer too?
>>69271739
They care about not winning it. It's cursed.
>>69273534
Well if you're looking forward to the Olympic football, you'll enjoy Fiji.
>>69281561
Is Fiji in the Olympics?
