WHO CARES ABOUT THE CONFEDERATIONS CUP IT IS SHIT

Um, no. Last time the USA made it to the final, meaning it's an incredibly important tournament! I'm super-excited to see how we do this year.

... oh, wait, we're not in it. Who cares about the Confederations Cup, it's shit.

[jack95]

We should all be excited for it because without it we would almost certainly never get to see Spain vs. Tahiti.

What has that got to do with anything? :/

[Rafael]

Scotland manages to be shittier than the Confederations Cup.

[Katsuya]

I wonder how many double digit matches we'll get with Tahiti?

[Rafael]

Three.

You know, I don't come in here and say whatever autocratic banana republic hellhole you come from is shit. :/

[Rafael]

I was talking about the football team, not the country. :/

[METALMAN]

Me too.

I mean England beat you guys.

ENGLAND.

Come on :/

[Rafael]

Neymar didn't do shit against England. On the other hand, he scored a brace and made life a living hell for the almighty Gary Caldwell.

[METALMAN]

So he's actually a bit shit then? :/

[Rafael]

Manchester City Robinho level of shit, I'd say.
