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 [...]

Velez Sarsfield, Argentina, Capello, Chelsea, DeFoe, Dos Santos, England, Galatasaray, Germany, Gerrard, Hernandez, Higuain, Klose, Lampard, Lennon, Manchester United, Maradona, Messi, Mexico, Milner, Mueller, Podolski, Rio Ferdinand, Rooney, South Africa, Tevez, Upson, World Cup
On day seventeen, England was finally put out of its misery. A team that had so much promise coming in came up so small on the biggest stage in the sport. Where was Wayne Rooney (Manchester United)? He was so lethal in England and in the Champions League but was a non-factor in South Africa. [...]

Day sixteen saw the start of the knockout stage round of sixteen games. Both games were exciting and were in doubt until the final whistle. Uruguay did enough in the first game to hold off South Korea. In the second game, the USA didn’t do enough to hold off Ghana. Now American fans can stop [...]

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.

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 [...]

The World Cup is finally here and I’m here to get you up to speed on what’s gonna happen in South Africa. Remember to come back after every matchday to get my thoughts on what’s going on in the World Cup. I don’t think there’s much excitement from the other contributors at Reverse Oreo Sports [...]
