All credit to Tahiti -have no recollection from visit 25 years ago of any organised sport - astonished to think they could put a side out.

Now all we need is a surprise Euro 2012 winner, like when Greece managed it, and the Confederations Cup could be a very unusual selection of nations.
Ah right, I forgot they seem to play the ACON every f*ckin' year nowadays!Unknown_Genius said:Matty said:The confederations cup will have Tahiti, Zambia and Uruguay competing in it, not the biggest names on their respective continents by any means.

Zambia won't be in it. With the competition now being played next year too, its the winners of that 2013 tournament that will qualify for the CC.

Unknown_Genius said:First time an Oceanian nation that isn't Australia or New Zealand has won that tournament. Well done to them. It will be interesting to see how they do in the CC, I imagine its the first time they're playing teams outside their continent. They might get hammered every game, but they've earned the right to play in it.
