More On :  Brazil, South Africa, Spain, USA
This week’s “Kick Around” lends it's eye to the Confederations Cup that just passed the group stage in South Africa.

The Goal.com editors discuss who out of the four remaining teams, Brazil, Spain, the U.S.A., and South Africa, the host nation, will be left standing when the dust has finally settled.

Spain are the hot favorites at the moment, as they are still fresh from their triumph at the 2008 Euros and have been playing solid football so far in the tournament.

Brazil are right up there as well, having knocked an impressive 10 goals home in the three group stages matches, including their 3-0 drubbing of current World Champions Italy at the weekend.

The two remaining teams, our U.S. squad and South Africa, appear to be on the outside looking in, but a strong showing by either side in the semis could lead to a potential upset for either.

Check out the video below to see who five of your favorite Goal.com editors think will be lifting the trophy this coming Sunday!
