The World Cup is over and Spain are your new Champions. First Euro 2008 and now this? I guess we have to respect Spain in international competitions now and not wait for them to eventually choke. The Final was probably one of the best deciding games since I can remember (1982). Both teams wanted to [...]

Posted: July 3, 2010 by The Mark in SoccerTags: Abreu, Ajax, Argentina, Arsenal, Baggio, Bayern Munich, Brazil, Dunga, Felipe Melo, Forlan, Ghana, Gyan, Holland, Inter, Juventus, Kaka, Mathijsen, Muntari, Netherlands, Oezil, Ooijer, Rennes, Robben, Robinho, Sneijder, South Africa, Suarez, Uruguay, Van Persie, Werder Bremen, World Cup
Day twenty-two saw Brazil’s run come to an end and Asamoah Gyan (Rennes) miss one of the biggest penalty kicks in the history of the World Cup. It doesn’t top Roberto Baggio’s miss in 1994 but it’s up there. The Netherlands find a way to fight back against Brazil and Uruguay continues its improbable run [...]
World Cup 2010 – Day Eighteen – Chile And Slovakia Go Meekly Into The Night

Day eighteen is in the books and Brazil and the Netherlands continue to roll. Should be a good game this weekend when these two teams meet in the Quarter-finals. Brazil looks too good at this point to say that they won’t win the whole thing. Argentina is good but can they get past Germany in [...]
World Cup 2010 – Day Thirteen – I Think Something Big Happened
Posted: June 24, 2010 by The Mark in SoccerTags: Aaron Lennon, Ajax, Algeria, Antic, Appiah, Aston Villa, Australia, Bayern Munich, Bologna, Cacau, Cahill, Capello, England, Everton, Germany, Ghana, Hamburger, Holman, Inter, James Milner, Jermaine DeFoe, Jerome Boateng, Kevin Prince-Boateng, Klose, LA Galaxy, Landon Donovan, Manchester United, Muntari, Oezil, Pantelic, Portsmouth, Rajevac, Rooney, Serbia, Slovenia, South Africa, Stuttgart, Tottenham, USA, World Cup, Yahia
If you’re looking for some insight on the USA – Algeria game, go elsewhere. This post is gonna be light on the information not only for that game but all the games. I have no interest in talking about Landon Donovan’s (LA Galaxy) late goal against Algeria to not only qualify the Americans but put [...]
World Cup 2010 – Day Eight – The Day Germany Came Back To Earth
Posted: June 19, 2010 by The Mark in SoccerTags: Aaron Lennon, Algeria, Antic, Ashley Cole, Bayern Munich, Birsal, Bradley, Carrick, Chelsea, David James, Donovan, England, Fabio Capello, Germany, Jovanovic, Kacar, Klose, Ljubijankic, Manchester United, Neuer, Podolski, Robert Green, Rooney, Schalke 04, Serbia, Slovenia, South Africa, Stojkovic, Tottenham, USA, World Cup, Zigic
So Germany is human after all? Serbia did just enough to frustrate Germany. Slovenia let the USA off the hook and with England unable to score against Algeria, everyone in Group C is still alive going into the final games of the group play. On to the games: Germany – Serbia (0-1) Goal – Jovanovic [...]
World Cup 2010 – Day One – Those Horns Are Already Annoying

The World Cup kicked off last night (in Korea) and there were two pretty good games. The Uruguay – France game came on at 3:30 am so it was a bit rough trying to get through it. Both games were exciting but I’m already hating those horns. I can’t imagine sitting next to person who [...]
