Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010The Group D match-up of Germany and Ghana is technically an easy call. Germany should win, likely by 2 goals. But what looks easy to call on paper is very different in relaity. Ghana is the team to watchout for. They have been the aggressors. They have ownership of the midfield, and have deftly found [...]
World Cup: Algeria vs USA
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010Talk about heart-pounding suspense. Talk about a game that goes to the wire. Talk about the USA.

World Cup: Algeria vs USA – half
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010What the hell?! If you had to take odds on Team USA scoring another goal that would then be denied by officials, for no apparent reason, they would have been astronomical.

World Cup: Brazil vs Ivory Coast
Sunday, June 20th, 2010Well that was a very different 2nd half. Red card, yellows, and nearly a brawl. All included with multiple goals by Brazil and the first African nation score agaist Brazil ever. Brazil came back with a bit more energy in the second half, which was much needed. But shortly into the match there was an [...]
World Cup: Brazil vs Ivory Coast – 1st half
Sunday, June 20th, 2010Well there was much expected in this match. So far everyone is still waiting and expecting. Neither team was especially good or remarkable in the first half. Control of the ball was about even, as was the play on each side of the pitch. There was in fact very little to either complain of praise [...]
