So the semi-final's start tomorrow for the Confederation Cup, and all I can say is we are in for some great clashes. First we have Brazil against Uruguay who face off tomorrow, and later on Spain against Italy. Four world-class team's with world-class players. Brazil versus Uruguay will be a fun game to watch. Seen as a rematch of the 1950's World Cup final where Uruguay defeated Brazil 2-1, known to soccer fans as "El Maracanazo". The game will be fueled by passion especially from the Brazil squad as they want to still erase the memories of the 1950 World Cup final infront of their home crowd.
The host team (Brazil) is coming in to the semi-finals undefeated amd on the back of new Barcelona signee Neymar. Neymar's performance thus far has been amazing, and has shut many critics up about whether or not he can hold his own against European team's. As of now in the tournament he's played in all three games and scored in all of them. A total of three, and one greatly made assist. The kid is on fire and I only see him making big plays tomorrow when he amd his team faces Uruguay.
Uruguay comes into the semi-final's with their attacking trident all well rested. Diego Forlan, Luis Suarez, and Edinson Cavani were all given rest during Uruguays game against Tahiti. So each player will be playing to their full potential Wednesday. Bottom line is this game will be a festival of goals and really entertaining. Im giving the edge to Brazil, Brazil habe the talent all over the field wether its in the defense, midfield and forwards, as well as Neymar. Then theres the reason that they're playing infront of their home, and I'm sure they dont want another "Maracanazo"!
Finally, my prediction, I'm giving the edge to Brazil. They're coming into the semi's on a very high note, and next to Spain, they are the best team in the tournment. Plus Neymar is playing on a great level. Uruguay has the fire power but I think Brazil is just more well rounded. They have the fire power, and a pretty good defense capable of stopping Suarez, Cavani, or Forlan. In other words, Brazil is a more complete team then Uruguay. My score: 3-1 Brazil.
