Way to go guys England snatched a sure draw from the jaws of victory against Ghana in an international friendly.

Andy Carroll was told by Fabio Capello dude you gotta curb your drinking. Carroll heeded Capello’s warning and scored Three Lions only goal of the match in the 43^rd minute.

Asamoah Gyan ruined Carroll’s night by scoring the tying goal in the 90^th minute.

Gyan made the entire English “D” look like a bunch of schoolgirls trying to catch Bob Hayes.

This cat faked the Three Lions defenders out of their collective jocks.

I bet my friend Tophatal had a fit when he saw his mates do the choke city in the final moments.

Tophatal is right.

Capello needs to go.

The English “D” especially late in the match looked a step slow.

England also lacks a killer instinct.

The guys didn’t attack when they had the chance. They didn’t finish when Three Lions had the chance.

You saw the result of this folly.

Goal.

Lose your butt in process.

Let’s remember this England didn’t play their top players due having played on Saturday in European qualifying match against Wales.

The truth be told England didn’t look all that impressive against an inferior Welch side.

Chile defeated Colombia 2-0.

Uruguay jumped out to an early 3-1 lead and hung on for a 3-2 win over Ireland.

Uruguay was a semifinalist in the 2010 World Cup.

Ireland played the JV team while Uruguay was stunned by Estonia 1-0 last Friday in the snow.

Gunner and Flamenguista for life.

What am I going to do with myself?

There is no World Cup futebol to watch on the tube. But cheer up folks Friday is just around the corner. Brasil battles the Netherlands and Uruguay has a hot date with Ghana.

The big question is this. Are you surprised by the results so far?

Yes and no.

I have been stating that Brasil and Argentina are the best teams in the world. Spain and the Netherlands are a close second.

What surprised me was the crappy play of England, France, and defending chump I mean champ Italy.

I loved it seeing the cheating French getting their asses handed to them.

I love it when Italy didn’t make out of the group stage too.

Paraguay took it to them. 

How about the strong showing of the South American teams?

No.

I have been a student of South American futebol for fifteen years.

Everyone knows that Brasil and Argentina are the class of South American futebol.

Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay have been making great strides over the years.

Paraguay and Ecuador played in the 2006 World Cup along with Argentina and Brasil.

Only Brasil and Argentina made it to the knockout stage of the 2006 World Cup.

Both Brasil and Argentina were knocked out in the quarterfinals.

 South American club teams have been serving as feeder systems for the top-flight leagues in Europe since 2005.

Manchester United’s Sir Alex and Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger have been combing Brasil, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay for the past seven years searching for the best younger futebolers.  

Another key is the strength and quality of play in the Copa Libertadores.

The winner of the Copa has given the Champions League titleholder fits in the FIFA World Cup Club futebol championship held every December.

Barcelona needed a late second half goal to send the match with Argentinean side Estudiantes into extra time.

Barcelona needed 120 minutes to beat Estudiantes 2-1 to win the 2009 FIFA World Cup Title championship game.

South American futebol is for real folks.

Four South American sides are in the quarterfinals.

If things work out it could be an all South American semifinals and finals.

Take heed folks futebol in South American is stronger than European futebol.

Trust me on this.

Look for a Brasil-Argentina final.

We did it. Brasil took care of business by shutting out Chile 3-0.

The guys were at their best.

This was one of those slow marches into enemy territory. Inch by inch Brasileiros took control of the match.

Juan’s wicked header off a well-placed corner kick from Ismael Fuentes in the 34^th minute gave Brasil a 1-0 lead.

From this point on it was baby this sucker is done.

Luis Fabiano took to the rack. A fake left. A side step right. Here is your jock mister keeper. Fabiano deposited the rock into the back of the empty net in the 38^th minute.

Kaka set this sucker up with a perfect feed into the box.

Kaka is not scoring but this dude is making the magic man Magic Johnson proud.

A seleção aproveitou a vantagem e se manteve no ataque, chegando ao segundo gol três minutos depois. Se abriu 1 a 0 em um lance de bola parada, fez 2 a 0 em outra especialidade desse time: o contra-ataque. Robinho correu pela esquerda e encontrou Kaká no meio, na entrada da área. Com apenas um toque, típico do camisa 10, ele deixou Luis Fabiano na cara do goleiro. O atacante, que um minuto antes se atrapalhara sozinho em um toque de calcanhar, driblou Bravo com estilo e fez seu terceiro gol nesta Copa. O jogo, complicado até os 34 minutos, chegou ao intervalo com boa vantagem no placar para a seleção.

Just call me the assist man Kaka.

Who needs scoring when your best player is setting the table for the rest of his mates.

Robinho’s strike in the 59^th minute was the final nail in Chiles coffin.

Ramires stole the ball at midfield. He took straight up the middle of the pitch.

Ramires arrived at the top of the box and hit Robinho with a little diddy.

Top shelf right and this baby was over.

Globo Esporte put it this way-  Se não estava tão fácil construir jogadas, o melhor jeito de chegar ao gol foi destruindo. Ramires roubou bola no meio-campo e acelerou em direção à área, livrando-se de dois marcadores e desviando a bola do terceiro, dando passe para Robinho. O atacante chutou e tirou a bola do alcance do goleiro, fazendo 3 a 0 aos 14 minutos. Desencantou no Mundial na África do Sul, marcando seu primeiro gol.

It is on to the next round for Brasil.

Now we take on Netherlands.

The Dutch defeated Slovakia 2-1.

This match will be a classic battle between to futebol giants.

After the victory Brasil was okay, this was cool.

Next.

Dunga has this squad focused on the prize.

The World Cup title.

Up next Netherlands in our march to the title.

The entire world was waiting to see the match between Brasil and Portugal. This baby ended in a nil-nil kiss your sister draw.

Dunga rested many of his top stars. Robinho was given the day off. Kaka had to sit out due two yellow cards and Elano missed to the ankle stomp administered by the dirty Ivory Coast buggers.

Brasil had most of the possessions.

Both sides had a few good scoring chances but ended up firing blanks.

The fake Ronaldo played like a girl. This dude sucks in big time matches.

The stupid folks at ESPN named the fake Ronaldo the man of the match. Only the idiots at ESPN could come up with something as insane and inane as this.

Dunga said it best- This was a totally dumb decision. Lucio should have been named player of the match not the fake fraud of a player Cristiano Ronaldo.

 Além do técnico Dunga, diferentes atletas da seleção brasileira criticaram a escolha de Cristiano Ronaldo como melhor jogador em campo. O mais enfático foi o zagueiro Lúcio: “É uma vergonha”, disse, depois de observar que a defesa brasileira anulou o atacante português. “A nossa defesa marcou muito bem, conseguiu neutralizar o Cristiano Ronaldo. Com todo respeito, acho uma vergonha ele ser eleito o melhor em campo”.Na entrevista coletiva depois do jogo, Dunga afirmou que, na sua opinião, o merecedor do troféu de melhor em campo deveria ser, justamente, o capitão da seleção brasileira. ““Eu elegeria o Lúcio, que interceptou todas as bolas e saiu jogando muito bem. Mas são as pessoas que escolhem que têm que ver”, comentou.

Lucio said someone must have been watching a different game.

Luis Fabiano também se surpreendeu com a escolha. “Quem ganhou? O Cristiano Ronaldo? Se ele foi eleito, alguém viu outro jogo”, ironizou. Sobre a própria atuação foi mais comedido: “Se ficam os 11 atrás, como eles ficaram, não há equipe que vença”, observou. “Foi muito complicado achar espaço”.

Os números mostram que Cristiano Ronaldo teve atuação apagada na partida. Chutou sete vezes a gol, mas só uma na direção certa e sem perigo para Julio Cesar. Tocou na bola 32 vezes, acertando 13 passes. Não sofreu marcação especial e levou apenas duas faltas. Conseguiu levar perigo ao gol brasileiro em uma única jogada. Depois de driblar Juan, levou Lúcio a tocar a bola para Raul Meireles, que quase marcou.

Portugal coach blamed Brasil for the lack of “O”.

Dunga said the Portuguese side sat back and did nothing.

Dunga played his cards tight to the vest.

We won Group G and now we faced South American foe Chile on Monday.

Portugal takes on European foe Spain.

Bye, Bye to the fake Ronaldo and his Portuguese buds.

Spain beat Chile 2-1 to win Group H.

Now it’s on to nut cutting time.

Brasil, USA, Uruguay, Chile, Netherlands, Ghana, Slovakia, and South Korea are on one side of the bracket.

You gotta look at the death side of the other bracket. Get this Spain, Argentina, England, Paraguay, Mexico, Germany, and Portugal in a knock down draw out bracket.

Twenty paces, aim and fire guys. Let’s hope the guns are loaded. Whatever you do, don’t fire blanks.

Six of the top fifteen teams in the world are in this bracket.

Crazy baby.

The Brasileiros press can scream at Dunga about how stupid he is but look at the teams he is match with.

You idiot pundits need to shut the blank up.

Dunga is a genius. ]

He has taken a team that was full of fat overpaid stars that didn’t care about anything and transformed this sorry team into one of the top teams in the world.

Dunga got rid of the fat man Ronaldo, the troublemaker Ronaldinho Gaucho, the coke head Adriano and the other clowns and replaced them with Kaka, Robinho, Maicon, and Fabiano.

It’s on to the next round baby.

I am happy as a bug in a rug. The two 2006 World Cup finalists were given their walking papers.

Runner up France and 2006 World Cup chump, I mean champ, Italy didn’t make it out the Group stage.

Italy lost to of all people Slovakia 3-2.

On Tuesday, the French stunk the joint out in a loss to 2-1 loss to South Africa.

Only 2006 third place World Cup side Germany made it out of the Group stage.

This was just barely.

Paraguay and the Kiwis-New Zealand tied nil-nil.

Paraguay wins Group F.

Slovakia winds up in second place.

The Netherlands took care of business beating Cameroon 2-1.

The Dutch went undefeated in Group E.

Netherlands is the only European team that played very well.

Japan blasted Demark 3-1.

Japan finished second in Group E.

The dance card for the first round of the knockout stage is almost complete.

The Group H is in doubt.

All Chile has to do is beat Spain.

Spain is hanging a by thread.

The Spanish need to win.

Switzerland needs to beat Honduras by more than two goals or hope that Spain wins by a huge margin.

Chile has six points. They are a  plus two.

Spain has three points. The Spainish are a plus one.

Switzerland  has three points. The Swiss are even money.

I want Chile to send Spain to the cleaners.

Spain was the odd on favorite by many to win the whole shooting match.

I know I picked them to have a good shot to win it all but in my heart I would love to see them 86th.

The European sides are having a horrible World Cup.

South America is having a great World Cup so far.

Brasil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay are on to the next round.

The power of futebol has shifted to South America.

Everyone knows that Brasil and Argentina are world powers but what most folks don’t know is that club futebol in Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and the rest of South America is very good.

If folks would examine the Copa Libertadores, they would see how good theses sides really are.

It is always EPL this, Italy that, French this and Spain that. But the clubs from South America drive these European clubs nuts.

All you have to do is look at the results the past few years in the FIFA World Club Championship.

The dirty cheating French were sent home packing.

The big bad French boys lost to lowly South Africa 2-1.

This was an utterly horrible display of futebol that I have seen in many a moon.

 If you remember it was Zinedine whose world famous head butt cost the French the 2006 World Cup title.

The French cheated into the World Cup now the Frogs are paying the price for their lying cheating ways.

I love it.

France has no wins, one draw, and two losses.

Voce Vai.

Uruguay won Group A by defeating Mexico 1-0.

Both Mexico and Uruguay both advance to the knockout round.

South Africa finished their World Cup play with one win, one loss, and one tie.

Both Mexico and South Africa were tied with four points each but Mexico advanced on a better goal difference.

Mexico has a plus one while South Africa is a minus 2.

Good show South Africa.

Argentina scored two late second half goals en route to a 2-1 win over Greece.

Argentinos breezed thru Group B gobbling up the full amount of points six.

Maybe Maradona is learning how to manage big time futebol.

Messi was used as the lone striker while Tevez was given the day off.

Argentina has the strongest strike force in the world-Messi, Tevez, and Higuain.

Add to the mix Maxi Rodriguez, Martin Palermo, and Gabriel Heinze and Argentina is down right dangerous.

Argentina still has a great shot to win the World Cup.

It would be great to have a Brasil-Argentina World Cup final.

Here’s some food for thought.

The South American clubs have not lost a single match.

Brasil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, and Paraguay are showing the rest of the world where the real futebol powers are.

It sure as hell isn’t in Europe.

England, France, Italy, Germany are playing like crap.

They stink.

Nigeria and South Korea tied at two all.

South Korea gets their ticket punched to the knockout stage.

Finally, Portugal played very well although be it against an inferior foe North Korea. Portugal flew to a huge 7-0 win.

Even the fake Ronaldo scored his first 2010 World Cup goal in the 87^th minute.

This match was over before it even began.

Portugal came flying out of the box.

They made mince meat of the vaunted North Korean “D.”

The Korean keeper Ri Myong-Guk must felt like he was in a shoot gallery.

Portugal takes on Brasil in the final match of Group G.

Portugal should move on.

Ivory Coast goose is cooked.

This is a dirty team.

Drogba and his mates should shot for dirty play and horrible acting.

Thank God Elano didn’t get hurt when the Ivory Coast player decided to do the ankle stomp on him.

Portugal played well but against Brasil Portugal will have a hard time even though Brasil is minus Kaka.

You better watch out for Danny Alves.

Robinho will be loaded for bear as well too.

Brasil has a point to prove.

We will be playing with a chip on our shoulders.

Watch out Portugal for your fakes stars better be ready.

Chile beat Switzerland 1-0.

Spain took care of business against Honduras winning 2-nil.

Chile is top dog with six points.

The Chileans are on to the next round.

Spain and the Swiss are tied for second with three points each.

Switzerland battles Honduras and Spain takes on Chile.

Spain has to win against Chile and hopes that Switzerland either losses or wins by less than two goals.

Brasil, Argentina, Netherlands, and Chile are on to the knockout stage.

The fun is just heating up.

I just love it.

The cheating French are fighting with each other.

Ireland must be laughing themselves silly.

Even with all this chaos the French are still dangerous.

I would love see them get 86^th in the Group stage along with the nasty Germans.

Italy the defending World Cup champs may not even make it out of the Group stage too.

Spain was one of the teams favored to win the World Cup. However, a funny on the way to being crowned champ Spain lost to Switzerland 1-0.

Gelson Fernandez ripped the winner in the 52^nd minute.

Spain keeper Iker Casillas was forced to leave his line. He blocked the initial shot but the ball squirted free. Then a scramble ball ensued. Gelson Fernandez knocked home the gimmie ball.

This was all she wrote baby.

A real good win for the Swiss.

A little side note, no team that has lost its opening World Cup match has won the World Cup title.

We will see.

Spain was missing Fernando Torres and Cesc Fabregas.

This was a real kick in the nuts.

I still think Spain will make it out of the group stage and challenge for the title.

Chile shut out Honduras 1-0.

Jean Beausejour scored on a nifty goal in the 34^th minute.

His mate Sanchez threaded the needle with a perfect pass that spilt the seam in the defense.

Uruguay blasted the home side South Africa 3-0.

The Africans had their lunch handle to them.

In plain and simple English South Africa stunk the joint out.

Diego Forlan hit for the daily double. He struck for pay dirt in the 24^th and 80^th minutes.

Alvaro ripped the twines in the 90^th minute for Uruguay’s other tally.

What a day full of surprises.

Let’s what tomorrow holds.
