Portugal and Brazil battle to a 0-0 stalemate
Posted on 25 Jun 2010 by Igor Henriques.
When the World Cup draw was made months ago, the match-up with Brazil and Portugal was seen as perhaps the best match of the group stage. Two technically gifted sides that played attractive attacking football that would make for a classic of a game. Unfortunately, do to the circumstances surrounding the game, that proved to be a unrealistic possibility. Heading into the game, Brazil sat comfort...

Posted on 24 Jun 2010 by Igor Henriques.
They were supposed to be the also-rans of the group, a team that would be lucky to even manage a point in South Africa. Through staunch defending and timely goals however New Zealand proved they belong on the world stage despite bowing out of the tournament with a 0-0 draw against Paraguay. Needing to defeat the strong South American outfit, New Zealand took a conservative approach in the first...

Argentina perfect despite 7 “backups” in lineup
Posted on 22 Jun 2010 by The Gator Great.
Argentina finished off group B participation with a much deserved win over Greece today. In doing so they knocked out the Greeks and set themselves up for a round of 16 showdown with Mexico, a repeat of Germany 2006. Argentina had a perfect first round and its victory today extended the domination of South American teams, who now have a combined record of 10W-0L-2D. The Argentines took the ...

Another 1-0 victory put Chile in a favorable position going into the last round of games on friday. It took the Chileans 75 minutes to break the tough Swiss defense, who held on admirabley with 10 men for nearly 60 minutes of the game.

Portugal rout North Korea 7-0
Posted on 22 Jun 2010 by Igor Henriques.
It was supposed to be a close match, after all North Korea had defended so well in their first game against Brazil and Portugal had been having trouble finding the back of the net and were missing inspirational midfielder Deco who was out with a hip injury. Things certainly did not turn out that way. It was a rainy start to the game in South Africa,the first half was closely contested with both...

South Africa Welcomes the World
Posted on 22 Jun 2010 by Stephanie Geosits.
After being in Johannesburg for just under three days and seeing two great matches, I can honestly say that I am blown away by the whole World Cup experience. First off, to say that South Africa is hosting the World Cup is quite literal. All South Africans are in this together. I have never seen so many people beam with so much pride in welcoming people to their country. Everyone is incredibly ...

Korea Republic eye draw to stay alive
Posted on 21 Jun 2010 by Eddie Kim.
As a Korea Republic supporter, I've literally been losing sleep over this match the last few days. Before the competition started, I had predicted that Argentina would win the group and that second place would come down to this very match. Assuming that Argentina beat Greece, this is exactly the scenario that would come to place: Korea Republic advance with a win or a draw, Nigeria are through ...

France: C’est Fini?
Posted on 18 Jun 2010 by Crystal Rose.
So far, France has yet to score a goal this World Cup. Do Les Bleus have a shot at advancing to the next round? Chances are looking slim after their defeat by Mexico (2-0) and a goaless draw with Uraguay (0-0) but anything is possible. The match against Mexico seemed like it would have the same fate as the Uruguayan game, with an uneventful draw. France was looking like the better team in the f...

ARGENTINA ROLLS PAST S.KOREA
Posted on 17 Jun 2010 by The Gator Great.
A hat trick from struggling forward Gonzalo Higuain was the story today in South Africa for Argentina. With Messi running around drawing defenders and setting up his teammates, South Korea forgot there was another bona fide forward worth covering, and I'm not talking about Carlos Tevez, who was also a headache for the Koreans, but rather Gonzalo Higuain. After a poor showing in the opening matc...

A Bitter-Sweet Victory for Chile
Posted on 16 Jun 2010 by The Gator Great.
Chile won at the World Cup for the first time in 48 years earlier today. The 1-0 victory over Honduras left a bittersweet taste for many Chileans. Sure it is always good to win the game and get 3 points, but Chile missed a great opportunity to take a commanding lead in the group. In a game where their goalie was barely seen, Chile could have and should have stretched the lead on several occ...
