What do you get when you score two goals against Brazil in the final (of any sport) and then sit back on your laurels? If you guessed ‘an ass-whoopin from Sth Africa all the way to your homeland’… then ding, ding, ding, you my friend, have just won yourself the Confederations Cup!I didn’t expect the [...]
As I sit here watching the final of the Confederations Cup unfold like an action packed episode of Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, the U.S MNT sit 2-0 up against the might of Brazil… so once again, i am gob-smacked! Plus, given my earlier prediction of the match, don’t I feel like an ass at the moment!?
10min in and that man again, Clint ‘The Giant Killer’ Dempsey, wearing his all white Nike Superfly’s bagged the nights opening goal and his third of the tournament… I wonder if the US can keep this up!?
If the U.S MNT was anything like their rather fancied women’s national team, then I’d say Brazil would be up for a tough battle tonight… however seeing as the South Americans completely wiped the floor with the Northerners, only 10days ago, I don’t think they’ll have much trouble doing it again… even with the US’s [...]
Wow, that wasn’t meant to happen was it?I’ve been thinking about what to right all day and for once, I’m gob smacked!If you want details watch them below… I need a moment to reevaluate shit right now. Match highlights: Older USMNT news:Confed Cup – They Finished Second!? Egypt 0 v 3 USA
Having almost no hope in hell of qualifying for the next stage of the Confed Cup, the U.S.MiNT, went into last nights match as firm favourites… for another beating! This morning however, it was Egypt who awoke severely battered and bruised asking themselves what the f**k just happened? Shit, at 2-0 down they were still [...]
It almost brings a tear of joy to my eye when Italy find themselves on the receiving end of a gigantic ass-whoopin… so it’s even sweater when they’re humiliated while it happens. Just like the time before the break when Dossena turned the ball into his own net off a Robinho cross… you couldn’t script [...]
Judging by the highlights below, it seemed as though Spain were the only team on the attack, whilst their opposition hid in caves continuously tried to catch them on the counter. With laser-like precision (or not), España hit their opposition with wave after wave of attack, almost like they were dropping bombs in the Middle East, so it doesn’t really surprise me that Iraq were on the receiving end again… will that country ever get a break!?
Thinking they stood a chance in front of 70,000 fans, Japan showed up to this match without their giant killing harpoons and got stomped all over by who now seems to be their biggest arch nemesis, good ‘ol Timmy Cahill… didn’t they learn anything from Godzilla!? When asked about his scoring record against Nippon, this [...]
Oh, herro. Great to see you agai, this tie in Merboure.With only a couple hours before kick off, I wonder if the Socceroos “makeshift” defense consisting of Lucas Neill, Jade North, Matthew Spiranovic, Rhys Williams or Shane Stefanuto, will be able to handle the Japanese onslaught that put a ship-load of pressure on Australia last [...]
I’m really excited by the propsect of Australia hosting a World Cup. It’s one of those things you wonder about as a kid, never actually thinking that your country will be in the running to host one day. Well, I guess the time is now and it’s important everyone get’s behind this bid. Australia 2018-2022 [...]
C’mon, as if you didn’t know that Fernando Torres and co were going to shit this one in? I must admit though, the 17 minute hat-trick was a bit of a surprise… was there actually another team playing!? It was complete domination and the Spaniards were playing at some sort of divine pace… so I [...]
Typical! Florentino Perez had to go and make the two biggest purchases of the year while I was away on a much needed break! Ok, so we all knew the Kaka transfer was going to happen, but can you imagine how I felt when I tuned into the wireless to hear that C-Ron had made [...]
While things have momentarily slowed down at my end, they seem to be moving along quite nicely for the now qualified Socceroos… so I’m hoping that they actually come out and kick the shit out of Bahrain tonight and put on an entertaining performance for the home fans, who will want nothing more than to [...]
Average performance and blasé celebrations aside, the Socceroos and Australians alike are rejoicing at the thought of going to their second consecutive World Cup final in South Africa next year… and I guess none more so than CEO of Football Federation Australia and ‘gleaming in smug pride’ Mr. Ben Buckley: [Goal] Qualifying this time around, [...]
I was lucky enough to watch the Socceroos train in Dubai a couple days ago, before flying they flew over to Qatar to potentially qualify for ‘Seth Efrica’ 2010… and while I quietly watched the intensity of their training drills from the empty bleachers, in no less than 35-40 dergree Celsius heat mind you, all [...]
