Hoping for high-scoring at the Confederations Cup
The Confederations Cup has taken a good deal of abuse in its short lifetime, mostly because it has seemed to be an unnecessary tournament, a money-making event imposed on already overworked players.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
"We must be highly realistic and it is impossible for us to beat Spain, quite impossible. They are the European and the world champions and the favorites to win this Confederations Cup tournament. But even if they score 15 or 20 goals, I would be happy if we scored one."

-- Tahiti coach Eddy Etaeta, whose team lost its Confederations Cup opener, 6-1, to Nigeria. Tahiti faces Spain on Thursday. (Reuters)
