Back playing in Brazil, the commentators said.

The Brazilian team is unknown to me

"And we also have a player – Teheivarii Ludivion – he wakes up every day at 4.30 in the morning and climbs mountains all day long. He is a mountain climber, but he will climb anything. He climbs coconut trees, he climbs all kinds of things and then he comes training. So this is his daily life. He climbs coconut trees and mountains" - Tahiti coach Eddy Etaeta

CBN radio and the website of the Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper, both respected, mainstream media, are carrying reports speculating that the eight-team tournament, considered a dry run for next year's World Cup, is in danger.

"Fifa will claim compensation from Brazil if the Confederations Cup has to be suspended," said a headline on CBN's website.

An estimated one million people took to the streets in cities across Brazil on Thursday as the country's biggest protests in two decades intensified, despite government concessions meant to quell them.

The protests, now in their second week, have been about high taxes, inflation, corruption and poor public services and have also targeted the $26 billion of public money being spent on the World Cup and the 2016 Olympics.

A CBN report claims one of the eight teams involved is pressuring their leaders to leave the Confederations Cup because they are worried about relatives visiting Brazil to watch the matches.
