Confederations Cup – Day 1 Review

Group A: South Africa 0 Iraq 0

As far as the South Africans are concerned, the Confederations Cup provides the ideal opportunity to fine tune their preparations for next year's World Cup Finals. Following yesterday's 0-0 draw that opened this year's competition, you can't fail to be impressed by their attention to detail given the number of goalless draws that have opened World Cups in the past.
