I hope we can do alright. I'd be happy with 3 points. 4 might be a small miracle.

Of course, if we lose in Algeria next Sunday in WCQ, I don't think we'll get a single point in South Africa because morale would be too low.

Here's one of the Confederations Cup ads:

So far I think everyone has basically been naming top squads. With the Cup now every 4 years and just a year ahead of the World Cup, it's become a good chance to practice in addition to being a fairly prestigious trophy.
