Adidas Launch New World Cup Ball – The Brazuca
If you're a follower of my ramblings, you'll know I'm a traditionalist when it comes to anything designed in football, so I was naturally really looking forward to the unveiling of anything, let alone something as important as the ball that'll be adorned by the world for the next six months.
FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup
The FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup kicks off today on Jumeirah Beach and I’m going to be heading down there as often as I can to get in on it. Having to ‘work for the man’ means I don’t get the pleasure of being able to frolic around Dubai chasing the copious amounts of women...
Cahill Two The Rescue… Again!
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!?

Especially their coach, Pim Verbeek: It doesn’t show a lot of confidence if you have a five-week training camp and play four friendly matches and still need to close...
Pre-match Japaction
Arnold is going to set the team up in a pretty predictable formation. If the Jap-osnian’s play their card’s right, they might just get away with a win. I’ve spoken to a lot of people about tonights game and they all fear the worst for Australia… and all give the same reason; Cause Arnold won’t...
Bring on Nippon!
Nostalgia, excitement, revenge… the words that come to mind are endless as this game is shaping up to be massive!Japan, who I believe are playing some of the best football in this tournament at the moment, will also be playing high on emotion… it wasn’t just the Sake that left a sour taste in their...
