By now you have heard or witnessed Spain win their first world cup, if you watched the game there is one question that comes to mind. What could the Netherlands have done that they did not do? I do not think there’s anything else they could have done besides playing less aggressively, not committing many fouls racking up yellow cards. They also had a player sent off for Yellow Card accumulation at a critical point in the game. It was always going to be Spain who dominated possession,... [Read more]

The world cup is winding down, we are down to the “final four” (now final three) that will decide who the World Champion will be. The four teams left are Spain, Uruguay, Germany, and the Netherlands. I like many Americans only took a partial interest in the World cup in the past, and mostly followed the United States team and games. I took a different approach this year though though, I have several friends who were born in foreign countries and soccer is their favorite sport. I decided... [Read more]

The United States soccer team was eliminated by Ghana on Saturday, and although everyone is a bit disappointed at the result. If an objective look was taken at everything, it is very easy to see that the United States was destined to lose that game. To many early goals given up, and too many historic late game comebacks did them in when it really counted. Despite the exit on Saturday, it was a great showing for the team, and if U.S. Soccer can learn from this then this team may go farther in... [Read more]

The big game is almost here the USA Soccer will face off against England in the first game of Group C at the FIFA World Cup, as both sides start their 2010 World Cup Campaigns action on the second day of the tournament. I am not a big soccer fan as I have too much on my sports plate to add another one, but I cannot say that I am not excited about this game. I did some research into soccer and the history between the U.S. and England, which helped me get into the game a bit more. Fabio Capello’s... [Read more]
