Confederations Cup (Group B): What will be the match result?

2:30 PM	Soccer	Italy Win
		United States Win or Draw

The FIFA Confederations Cup, being played in South Africa, is a tune-up tournament for next year's World Cup, also in South Africa. The tournament features international powerhouses such as Spain, Italy, and Brazil and the United States happens to be grouped with Brazil and Italy. Spain is the prohibitive favorite for the Confederations Cup seeing as they are the number 1 team according to the FIFA world rankings. I don't think the U.S. has much chance of getting out of the group stages of this tournament, and I fully expect them to lose this match. Look for the Italians to have a 3-1 win against the United States.

Who will WIN this Matchup?

10:15 PM	MLB	Los Angeles Angels (32-29) Lackey
		@ San Francisco Giants (34-28) Zito

Has anyone ever gone from being a decent to good pitcher, as Barry Zito once was, to absolutely terrible? Oh wait, I'm a Yankees fan who has had to watch Chien-Ming Wang give up 5 runs in 2 innings every single start like it's his job. Wang would hurt me even more if I actually watched Yankees games, but I'm not paying for MLB.tv and I cannot find Yankees games online. Anyways, apparently the Giants are better than the Angels, at least record-wise, but I think Barry Zito is absolutely worthless and he ruined the Giants franchise even more than Barry Bonds. Look for Zito to give up at least 5 runs in 5 innings and for the Angels to win in San Francisco.


U.S. Win Streak: 1
U.S. Overall Record: 4-4
