Smirking_Saint Posted 16 June, 2013 Share Posted 16 June, 2013 What exactly is the CC? How do these teams end up being involved? Its the winners of all the major tournaments... Great comp but probably why as an England fan its often brushed over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 16 June, 2013 Share Posted 16 June, 2013 What exactly is the CC? How do these teams end up being involved? It's basically all of the winners from all over the world, so the Euro 2012 winners, the 2010 world cup winners, the Asian cup winners, the Copa America winners etc. Basically like a mega-champions league.

Colinjb Posted 16 June, 2013 Author Share Posted 16 June, 2013 What exactly is the CC? How do these teams end up being involved? They are the winners of the individual regional cups (European Champions, South American Champions, Asian Champions, Oceania etc) and the world cup hosts... it serves as a trial run for the world cup facilities. Basically an all star battle royale (including Tahiti), love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 16 June, 2013 Share Posted 16 June, 2013 What exactly is the CC? How do these teams end up being involved? it the winners of the 6 confederation championships, like the Coppa America and the Euros. Plus the following year world cup hosts and the current world champions that is why italy are there as they came runners up to spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinjb Posted 16 June, 2013 Author Share Posted 16 June, 2013 (edited) Ah thanks. How did Tahiti get this far?? They won the 2012 Oceania Nations Cup. Beat New Caledonia in the Final, first country other then New Zealand and Australia (who now compete in the Asian confederation instead) to do so. Oceania is by far the weakest of the 7 confederations. Edited 16 June, 2013 by Colinjb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFrost Posted 17 June, 2013 Share Posted 17 June, 2013 3-0 at HT First goal was a ridiculous deflection off the ref that landed kindly to a Nigerian whose shot then took a ridiculous double deflection off 2 defenders and wrong footed the keeper. 2nd goal - defensive howler 3rd goal - goalkeeping howler Have to say going forward they've looked very good, they've carved the Nigerians open a few times and could have easily had a couple of goals. Defensively they've been naive but that Chong Hue looks a handful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
