Vol. 1 And so it has come to an end. The greatest single spectacle in sports; the world-wide passion that even grabbed us this time around. A month long event that gave us hope, chewed out our nails, decreased work productivity, gave us a few white hairs, seduced us and then broke our hearts. Alas, it [...]
July 06th, 2010 (2:30 PM Est.) Uruguay vs. Netherlands Uruguay – Uruguay reached the semis by surprising many when they won their group which included France, Mexico and South Africa. By doing so,
The field has been trimmed by half! Win, you live to see another day; lose, you’re gone! Excitement doesn’t do justice to what is about to start. If you thought the group stage was fun…well…you’re gonna like the way you look, I guarantee it. Sure I could talk about today’s game, but I won’t, because [...]

Saturday – June 19th, 2010 Netherlands vs. Japan review In a game like this, you’d think it was clear cut, but as we’ve seen in this World Cup, there are no easy matches. A red card, a fluke goal, some smart and efficient play and all of a sudden you have an upset! Though the [...]
