FIFA World Cup Final 2010

So here we are waiting with bated breath for the FIFA World Cup Final to begin tomorrow.
Can you imagine how the players are feeling right now? I wonder what they are thinking and how they are preparing both physically and mentally. Can you imagine being in their shoes right now?
So, if you are preparing your [...]

FIFA World Cup Semi Finals

Two great semi finals over the last couple of days. It is going to be very empty next week when we don’t have games of this magnitude to watch on a daily basis!
So, was Forlan really injured or did the Uruguayan coach really screw up taking him off so early?
How badly do you think Germany [...]

FIFA World Cup 2010 Quarter Finals

Now that is what we wanted. Goals, drama, amazing turns of events, that is what we love wthe World Cup for.
And we are only half way through the quarters!

FIFA World Cup England vs Germany

So, as an Englishman, what can I say about this game?
Firstly, for the majority of the game, Germany was by far the better team. No question.

FIFA World Cup really cooking on gas now!

OK, so that”s what the World Cup is all about!
What a nailbiting end to both the England and USA games! Couldn’t ask for more drama.
Trust the “Golden Boy” Landon Donovan to score the most important goal in U.S. soccer history. If the USA had not qualified for the next round, they would have returned [...]

England’s World Cup so far

So, yesterday I situated myself in front of a massive tv screen in BJ’s Restauarant. pint in one hand and a plate of potato skins in the other, sat myself right on the half way line, ready to go…….
What a let down!!
I have to say that that was one of the most toothless pathetic performances [...]

World Cup Update 2

OK so the World Cup is really getting going now….thankfully!
Argentina look awesome, I just have a funny feeling about them with the crazy man Maradona in charge and Messi, Tevez, Miilito and hat trick hero Higuain on their team.
Mexico caused somewhat of an upset by beating France. Why on earth when you are down [...]

World Cup 2010 Update

While I am sure you will agree, the World Cup has been disappointing so far. However, that is understandable if you think about it. In the opening games teams are concentrating on their defensive discipline with the goal of not losing their opening game.
Individual star players have not caught on fire yet because they are [...]
