It's still not sure if Greece will participate next year in Germany (and I doubt they will). Who knows what will happen in 2008 ... I just don't think they can do it again.

Attendances at the FIFA Confederations Cup 2005 show an increase so far on the previous two editions of the tournament. The near-capacity crowds that witnessed the games involving the host nation Germany against Australia in Frankfurt (46,466) and the world champions Brazil in action in Leipzig against Greece (42,507) meant that a total of 141,042 have watched the opening four fixtures. In FIFA Confederations Cup 2003 in France the first four games drew an audience of 138,242 and in Korea/Japan 2001 the number attending the same number of games was 117,257. More than half that total came from a single fixture ….the clash between France and the Korea Republic in Daegu.
The stadium during Japan - Mexico was just the opposite. But honestly, I do have seen two good matches.
