The Confederations Cup is held every four years, before a World Cup year. It's contested by the winners of each continent cup (Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Oceania and Africa) along with the previous World Cup winner and the host of the next World Cup, bringing the total of participating teams to 8. This year, participating teams are as follows:

2007 AFC Asian Cup Winner: Iraq
UEFA Euro 2008 Winner: Spain
2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup Winner: United States of America
Copa America 2007 Winner: Brazil
2008 OFC Nations Cup Winner: New Zealand
2008 African Cup of Nations Winner: Egypt
2006 World Cup Winner: Italy
2010 World Cup Hosts: South Africa

However, if the same team qualifies two times (under different qualifying circumstances) then 2nd/3rd/4th place team in the World Cup are offered a place and if not, national teams can be invited to play in the tournament.

First of all, England winning either UEFA Euro or the World Cup wouldn't happen. Not even with Fabio Capello, who I consider one of the greatest managers of all time :P

But if a team does win the its confederation tournament as well as the World Cup, then the runners-up of the World Cup would be invited to participate in the tournament. However, if the World Cup winner won its confederation tournament and the World Cup runners-up is the host, then the runners-up of the World Cup winner's confederation tournament would be invited to play.
