			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The United States beat Italy for the first time in eleven matches that covered a span of 78 years. This was the Italians first loss in Genoa. Clint Dempsey was the hero. His goal in the 55<sup>th</sup> minute gave the USA a huge win over Italy. A great pass set up this sucker from mate Jozy Altidore. Altidore stood his ground at the top of box. He made a back pass to Dempsey. Dempsey stepped right and fired left. The Italian keeper Buffon never had a chance.</p>
<p>What stood out in this match was the way the guys played “D”. The guys made block after block. Bocanegra, Fabian Johnson, Jonathan Spector, and Michael Bradley clogged the middle. Sure there were a ton of offsides by the Italians but this was caused by good positioning of our guys. This frustrated the Italians.</p>
<p>Tim Howard came up big too.</p>
<p>Italy used many of their best players.</p>
<p>All in all this was a huge step in the right direction.</p>
<p>Lionel Messi had a hat trick to lead Argentina past Switzerland 3-1.</p>
<p>The dorks at ESPN are crowing about Messi’s performance. Hey guys Messi is great in crap like this but when he has to perform in real matches he sucks big time.</p>
<p>This is Messi’s MO. Great in meaningless matches but on the world stage Messi is scared shitless.</p>
<p>England lost to the Netherlands 3-2. Arjen Robben daily double led the Dutch attack.</p>
<p>The Netherlands was in complete control of this sucker. The score was closer than the match. </p>
<p>England’s two goals came in garbage time. Gary Cahill in the 85<sup>th</sup> minute and Ashley Young 90 minutes plus one.</p>
<p>Thank you Fabio Capello for screwing up the English national team.</p>
<p>He is gone but the stench lingers.</p>
<p>Spain killed Venezuela 4-0.</p>
<p>France beat Germany 2-1.    </p>
<p>So now lets put this win by the USA in perspective. This was huge but this was a friendly match. Sure the Italians wanted to win but this was not a real competition. Yes, we have made strides especially on the defensive end however we can’t let a side have sixty percent of the touches and control of the ball.</p>
<p>Progress has been made but we are still a long way off from competing with the top sides in the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Way to go guys England snatched a sure draw from the jaws of victory against Ghana in an international friendly.</p>
<p>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<sup>rd</sup> minute.</p>
<p>Asamoah Gyan ruined Carroll’s night by scoring the tying goal in the 90<sup>th</sup> minute.</p>
<p>Gyan made the entire English “D” look like a bunch of schoolgirls trying to catch Bob Hayes.</p>
<p>This cat faked the Three Lions defenders out of their collective jocks.</p>
<p>I bet my friend Tophatal had a fit when he saw his mates do the choke city in the final moments.</p>
<p>Tophatal is right.</p>
<p>Capello needs to go.</p>
<p>The English “D” especially late in the match looked a step slow.</p>
<p>England also lacks a killer instinct.</p>
<p>The guys didn’t attack when they had the chance. They didn’t finish when Three Lions had the chance.</p>
<p>You saw the result of this folly.</p>
<p>Goal.</p>
<p>Lose your butt in process.</p>
<p>Let’s remember this England didn’t play their top players due having played on Saturday in European qualifying match against Wales.</p>
<p>The truth be told England didn’t look all that impressive against an inferior Welch side.</p>
<p>Chile defeated Colombia 2-0.</p>
<p>Uruguay jumped out to an early 3-1 lead and hung on for a 3-2 win over Ireland.</p>
<p>Uruguay was a semifinalist in the 2010 World Cup.</p>
<p>Ireland played the JV team while Uruguay was stunned by Estonia 1-0 last Friday in the snow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>England leaped to the head of the class with a huge 2-0 win over lowly Wales in Group G play.</p>
<p> Three Lions were clearly superior on this day. Frank Lampard nailed the gimmie PK in the 7<sup>th</sup> minute.</p>
<p>A great penetration dribble drive into the box set this sucker up by Ashley Cole.</p>
<p>Darren Bent hit the roof of the net in the 14<sup>th</sup> minute to make 2-0 England.</p>
<p>Glenn Johnson spilt the Welch “D”. Ashley Cole release and gets the pass. A one timer to Bent. Buda bing buda boom game, set, and match to Three Lions.</p>
<p>England sits a top Group G with ten points.</p>
<p>The only downer for the English side Rooney picked up a stupid yellow card and this will cost Three Lions dearly. Rooney has to sit out the next match.</p>
<p>In the Taco Rio Botafogo and Boavista tied nil-nil. This is a hug turn of events for Flamengo.</p>
<p>Mengao is in third place in the Taco Rio Group A with ten points.</p>
<p>Rubro-Negro has a game in hand.</p>
<p>We have eight points.</p>
<p>On Sunday, Flamengo battles Madureira. Madureira is in 7<sup>th</sup> place in Group B with three points.</p>
<p>They are one step of bottom feeder Bangu.</p>
<p>This is a must win for Mengao.</p>
<p>In the Clausura, River Plate picked up a huge 2-1 win over Newell’s Old Boys.</p>
<p>Los Millionaires are now in 4<sup>th</sup> place with 12 points.</p>
<p>Later today, the top clubs will be in action.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are in the idiot season. It is called the friendly international matches that have no bearing on nothing except filling the coffers of FIFA.</p>
<p>The World Cup ended earlier this year in July. Yet, the clowns at FIFA are stilling playing these crap matches.</p>
<p>How many world class players have to go down before some one stands up and shouts “ ENOUGH OF THIS BULL SHIT.”</p>
<p>The clubs these players work for need to stop the likes of Carlos Tevez, Messi, Torres, and Robinho from playing in them.</p>
<p>Yet, this will never happen. FIFA and the clubs have a ton of money tied up in these FIFA friendly matches.</p>
<p>Follow the money.</p>
<p>All these matches do is serve, as a training ground to see which players will fit in the system the individual coaches have.</p>
<p>This stuff needs to stop now.</p>
<p>The players need to form a union.</p>
<p>They need to walk out.</p>
<p>The players need to demand time off.</p>
<p>Compensation and proper medical care.</p>
<p>They need to have a retirement fund.</p>
<p>This is all part of what is lacking in futebol today.</p>
<p>The proper model should be the NFL players union or MLB players union.</p>
<p>Enough said.</p>
<p>Argentina defeated Brasil 1-0 when Lionel Messi scored a late goal (90<sup>th</sup> minute) to seal the deal.</p>
<p>This goal was the result of a great give and go between Messi and Lavezzi.</p>
<p>Globo Esporte on the brilliant Messi goal- A fera acordou. Com um golaço de Lionel Messi aos 46 minutos do segundo tempo, a Argentina derrotou a Seleção por 1 a 0, no Khalifa International Stadium, em Doha, no Qatar, e acabou com um jejum de cinco anos sem triunfos sobre o arquirrival. Além disso, &#8220;La Pulga&#8221; acabou com o tabu de nunca ter vencido o time canarinho atuando pela equipe principal dos hermanos. Pelo lado brasileiro, Ronaldinho foi o destaque, mas foi substituído no segundo tempo</p>
<p>This was Argentinos first win over Brasil since 2005.</p>
<p>This was Brasil’s first loss under new headman Mano Menezes.</p>
<p>He is reshaping the squad.</p>
<p>Menezes is now playing the head case Ronaldinho Gaucho.</p>
<p>This is a huge mistake.</p>
<p>The team lacked teamwork and scoring punch.</p>
<p>Sure Ronaldinho had some great chances but the team still lacked what it takes to win.</p>
<p>Stop going back to older players. Let Robinho, Neymar, Danny Alvez, and the rest play.</p>
<p>Ronaldinho Gaucho was great.</p>
<p>They key word was.</p>
<p>France defeated England 2-1.</p>
<p>The frogs took an early 2-0 lead.</p>
<p>The English couldn’t hit the broadside of barn with a cannon.</p>
<p>They decided to become masons.</p>
<p>Peter Crouch was their only saving grace when he ripped the twines in the 86<sup>th</sup> minute.</p>
<p>Here is the skinny on the English national team Fabio Capello needs to go.</p>
<p>This is the plain simple truth.</p>
<p>He is a joke.</p>
<p>Fire his ass.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 2010 World Cup is in the books. Spain defeated Netherlands 1-0 to win their first title. I was happy for the Spanish side but I was sad Brasil didn’t win.</p>
<p>Spain became the first team lose their opening round match and go onto win the World Cup.</p>
<p>So much for the press template.</p>
<p>A friend of mine at the radio station where I work asked me what did I think about the World Cup.</p>
<p>I told him it was a chippy match. The Dutch played dirty because they couldn’t keep up with Spain’s superior speed.</p>
<p>It was down right dirty futebol. Especially De Jong’s foot to the chest of the Spanish player.</p>
<p>This should have been a straight card.</p>
<p>The ref had his head up his butt on that one.</p>
<p>My friend is a former professional wrestler.</p>
<p>We both are air personalities.</p>
<p>I am the a futebol freak and Seth is a former professional wrestler working together. Then throw into the mix Ross a hockey nut and Dave a straight-laced news guy makes the radio station kinda wild.</p>
<p>The news guy and myself are the only true futebol nuts.</p>
<p>The ESPN idiots and the clowns in the press are having a cow that Rooney, Messi, and Kaka didn’t score.</p>
<p>Rooney entered the World Cup tourney broke down. He was part of the walking wounded. Rooney has been hurting since September 2009.</p>
<p>This is the direct result from playing futebol year round.</p>
<p>Hey, give the guy a rest.</p>
<p>Kaka was not the primary scorer on the Brasil side. Kaka was the point guard to use hoops terminology. His job was to distribute the ball to Robinho, Elano, and Fabiano.</p>
<p>Kaka’s role and I repeated his role was to dish out assists.</p>
<p>Don’t doubt me on this.</p>
<p>This was Dunga’s system.</p>
<p>The stoops at ESPN were either blind or were stuck on their template.</p>
<p>What killed Brasil in the match against Netherlands was Elano was hurt.</p>
<p>Without Elano, this enabled the Dutch to marshal their forces to stop Robinho and Fabiano.</p>
<p>With a Elano healthy, this would have opened up the pitch.</p>
<p>Instead of a two-pronged attack, Brasil would have three go to guys.</p>
<p>Yet, this doesn’t take away from the boneheaded stomp on the ankle by Mello.</p>
<p>You can’t lose your cool in times of crisis.</p>
<p>I am not saying if Mello didn’t do the unforgivable sin Brasil would have won but he did kill Brasil’s chances of mounting a serious comeback.</p>
<p>Brasil played team ball.</p>
<p>They were not a team of stars.</p>
<p>The Brasil press went nuts on this.</p>
<p>Globo Esporte and UOL wanted the likes of Ronaldinho and Ronaldo to play. They blamed Brasil’s defeat on the lack of stars.</p>
<p>Yet, the stars of 2006 stunk the joint out.</p>
<p>They were fat, out of shape, and drugged out.</p>
<p>These stars lost in the quarterfinals too.</p>
<p>Brasil lacks two players.</p>
<p>One is a money player.</p>
<p>This is the cat that can take over a match and score.</p>
<p>A dude who can carry a team on his back like Pele.</p>
<p>A Pele comes along only once in a million years.</p>
<p>Yet, if Kaka, Elano, Robinho, and Fabiano can play together for another four years Brasil will be almost unbeatable.</p>
<p>The second is a stopper on “D”.</p>
<p>Dunga knew what he was doing.</p>
<p>He was fired or quit according to what source you read was because he didn’t placate the Brasil press and the CBF.</p>
<p>Dunga should not have been fired.</p>
<p>This was stupid.</p>
<p>England needs to fire Capello.</p>
<p>Fire the entire team and rebuild from the ground up.</p>
<p>The English side was overrated.</p>
<p>Germany will be a force to be reckoned with in 2014.</p>
<p>Spain is a one hit wonder.</p>
<p>The Netherlands had their chance.</p>
<p>Argentina needs to fire Maradona.</p>
<p>Argentinos will need to replace Tevez and whole slew of players.</p>
<p>Maradona is fun for quotes but a futebol mind he is not.</p>
<p>Hire a real coach.</p>
<p>Try Europe.</p>
<p>Uruguay was a huge surprise to many.</p>
<p>Not me.</p>
<p>Uruguay had to go through the qualifying route to make it to the World Cup.</p>
<p>The Uruguayans are for real.</p>
<p>Suarez and Forlan are for real.</p>
<p>This squad is made up of some real good young studs.</p>
<p>Forlan scored five goals.</p>
<p>All in all, it was a fun World Cup.</p>
<p>South America proved they can hang with the big boys of Europe.</p>
<p>The power is shifting from Europe to South America.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What am I going to do with myself?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The big question is this. Are you surprised by the results so far?</p>
<p>Yes and no.</p>
<p>I have been stating that Brasil and Argentina are the best teams in the world. Spain and the Netherlands are a close second.</p>
<p>What surprised me was the crappy play of England, France, and defending chump I mean champ Italy.</p>
<p>I loved it seeing the cheating French getting their asses handed to them.</p>
<p>I love it when Italy didn’t make out of the group stage too.</p>
<p>Paraguay took it to them. </p>
<p>How about the strong showing of the South American teams?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>I have been a student of South American futebol for fifteen years.</p>
<p>Everyone knows that Brasil and Argentina are the class of South American futebol.</p>
<p>Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay have been making great strides over the years.</p>
<p>Paraguay and Ecuador played in the 2006 World Cup along with Argentina and Brasil.</p>
<p>Only Brasil and Argentina made it to the knockout stage of the 2006 World Cup.</p>
<p>Both Brasil and Argentina were knocked out in the quarterfinals.</p>
<p> South American club teams have been serving as feeder systems for the top-flight leagues in Europe since 2005.</p>
<p>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.  </p>
<p>Another key is the strength and quality of play in the Copa Libertadores.</p>
<p>The winner of the Copa has given the Champions League titleholder fits in the FIFA World Cup Club futebol championship held every December.</p>
<p>Barcelona needed a late second half goal to send the match with Argentinean side Estudiantes into extra time.</p>
<p>Barcelona needed 120 minutes to beat Estudiantes 2-1 to win the 2009 FIFA World Cup Title championship game.</p>
<p>South American futebol is for real folks.</p>
<p>Four South American sides are in the quarterfinals.</p>
<p>If things work out it could be an all South American semifinals and finals.</p>
<p>Take heed folks futebol in South American is stronger than European futebol.</p>
<p>Trust me on this.</p>
<p>Look for a Brasil-Argentina final.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most of media pundits will remember the goal was taken away from England in the first half. Yes, this was a bad call but in reality, it was small factor in the out come of the German 4-1 dismantling of England.</p>
<p>The Three Lions have played like crap since the World Cup began. England should have killed the USA instead wound up with one all tie.</p>
<p>England couldn’t score against an inferior Algerian squad and this ended in a nil-nil draw.</p>
<p>England struggled in a 1-0 over Slovenia.</p>
<p>German was faster and stronger.</p>
<p>The Germans first goal, in the 20<sup>th</sup> minute, was a lightening quick counter attack.</p>
<p>Actually, the German keeper Manuel Neuer punted the long ball. The punt split the English “D” down the middle.</p>
<p>Miroslav Klose beat two defenders to the ball. English keeper David James instead of taking charge he stood his ground.</p>
<p>This was a dumb move.</p>
<p>Klose scored to make it 1-0 Germany.</p>
<p>The English “D” was horrible.</p>
<p>This was the match changer.</p>
<p>The English played without heart.</p>
<p>Germany scored a few moments later on a great easy goal by Lukas Podolski nailed the winner in the 32<sup>nd</sup> minute to make 2-0.</p>
<p>A header by Upson in the 37<sup>th</sup> minute cut the gap to 2-1.</p>
<p>Then Lampard’s goal that was not a goal and all broke loose in the media as well as on the pitch.</p>
<p>Sure, this may have changed the direction of the match in the English favor but Germany was a far superior side on this day.</p>
<p>The Germans kicked the English butts all over the pitch.</p>
<p>England was not ready to play.</p>
<p>Germany beat the English to every free ball, every crossing ball into the box, every ball period.</p>
<p>The sad fact is this England was overrated.</p>
<p>Wayne Rooney played like crap.</p>
<p>The English defense was Swiss cheese.</p>
<p>Lampard, Cole, Gerrard, James, Defoe, and Terry looked like they were running cement boots.</p>
<p>You could have timed these clowns with a sundial.</p>
<p>Fire the coach. Fire the players. Do what Brasil did after we were embarrassed in the 2006 World Cup. Get rid of the fat cats. Bring in younger players who are hungry and want to win.</p>
<p>Fire Rooney, Cole, Gerrard, Cole, James, and Terry.</p>
<p>England you got what sowed.</p>
<p>Bupkis.</p>
<p>Another controversial goal in the World Cup so what else is new?</p>
<p>Argentina rolls past Mexico 3-1.</p>
<p>Tevez’s first goal was clearly offside by at least two yards. The ref said it was good. Argentina was up 1-0 after the 26<sup>th</sup> minute.</p>
<p>This goal took the wind out of the Mexican sails.</p>
<p>A dumb turnover near the Mexican goal gave Gonzalo Higuain a gift in the 33<sup>rd</sup> minute.</p>
<p>Argentina was up 2-0.</p>
<p>Tevez powered a bullet of strike from 25 yards out in the 52<sup>nd</sup> minute to give Argentinos a 3-nil lead.</p>
<p>Mexico started out like a house on fire.</p>
<p>The Mexican side had two good strikes on goal.</p>
<p>Argentina didn’t succumb to the pressure.</p>
<p>The superior Argentina side took control of the match.</p>
<p>And then rout was on.</p>
<p>Higuain now has scored four goals in the World Cup.</p>
<p>Argentina has a hot date with Germany the team that knocked them out of the 2006 World Cup Quarterfinals.</p>
<p>This is deja vu all over again.</p>
<p>I expect and Argentina-Brasil final.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The entire world was waiting to see the match between Brasil and Portugal. This baby ended in a nil-nil kiss your sister draw.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Brasil had most of the possessions.</p>
<p>Both sides had a few good scoring chances but ended up firing blanks.</p>
<p>The fake Ronaldo played like a girl. This dude sucks in big time matches.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p> 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.</p>
<p>Lucio said someone must have been watching a different game.</p>
<p>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”.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Portugal coach blamed Brasil for the lack of “O”.</p>
<p>Dunga said the Portuguese side sat back and did nothing.</p>
<p>Dunga played his cards tight to the vest.</p>
<p>We won Group G and now we faced South American foe Chile on Monday.</p>
<p>Portugal takes on European foe Spain.</p>
<p>Bye, Bye to the fake Ronaldo and his Portuguese buds.</p>
<p>Spain beat Chile 2-1 to win Group H.</p>
<p>Now it’s on to nut cutting time.</p>
<p>Brasil, USA, Uruguay, Chile, Netherlands, Ghana, Slovakia, and South Korea are on one side of the bracket.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Twenty paces, aim and fire guys. Let’s hope the guns are loaded. Whatever you do, don’t fire blanks.</p>
<p>Six of the top fifteen teams in the world are in this bracket.</p>
<p>Crazy baby.</p>
<p>The Brasileiros press can scream at Dunga about how stupid he is but look at the teams he is match with.</p>
<p>You idiot pundits need to shut the blank up.</p>
<p>Dunga is a genius. ]</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>It’s on to the next round baby.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The USA won Group C with a thrilling 1-nil win over Alegria.</p>
<p>Landon Donovan is finally proving he belongs on the world futebol stage.<br />
The Landon Man nailed the match winner in the 91<sup>st</sup> minute.</p>
<p>The superman in goal Tim Howard set up this goal. Howard blocked a point blank shot. He gobbled up the loose ball. A quick outlet pass by Howard and we were off to the races.</p>
<p>Alegria never knew what hit them.</p>
<p>The USA was off to the races.</p>
<p>Buda bing buda boom the ball is in the back of the Algerian net in a matter moments.</p>
<p>Fast break futebol at its best.</p>
<p>You gotta love it.</p>
<p>Game, set, and match to the USA.</p>
<p>My wife and I stood and cheered at the top of our lungs.</p>
<p>Our neighbors thought we are nuts.</p>
<p>I have the papers to prove I am nuts.</p>
<p>We win the Group and now on to the knockout stage.</p>
<p>The idiot pundits in the USA media have proclaimed Landon Donovan the greatest player in United States history.</p>
<p>NOT!</p>
<p>One brilliant World Cup doesn’t make up for all the times Donovan stunk the joint out.</p>
<p>Read my lips Tim Howard is the only world-class player have.</p>
<p>Time in and time out Howard has saved the USA hide.</p>
<p>Without Howard, we would have lost to England, Alegria, and Slovenia.</p>
<p>Trust me on this.</p>
<p>England finally tickled the twines in a huge 1-0 over Slovenia.</p>
<p>Jermain Defoe saved the English skin when he nailed the match winner in the 23<sup>rd</sup> minute.</p>
<p>The Aussies defeated Serbia 2-1.</p>
<p>Germany escaped with Ghana 1-0.</p>
<p>After a scoring barrage against a short-handed Australian squad, the Germans have petered out in goal production.</p>
<p>Germany is over rated.</p>
<p>Germany wins Group D.</p>
<p>Ghana and the Aussies tied for second with four points but Ghana had a better goal difference. Ghana was a zero while Australia was a minis three.</p>
<p>In my heart, I would love to see a miracle in South Africa. The USA wins the World Cup. Dreams are great to have.</p>
<p>Do you believe in Miracles?</p>
<p>YES!</p>
<p>1980 Lake Placid, New York.</p>
<p>USA upset the pro Russian hockey team and wins the Gold Medal.</p>
<p>Will this happen again?</p>
<p>If not I want Brasil to win.</p>
<p>I don’t want Argentina to win.</p>
<p>My head tells me that Brasil, Argentina, and Spain are even money to win it all.</p>
<p>The second tier consists of Germany, Netherlands, England, and Portugal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The dirty cheating French were sent home packing.</p>
<p>The big bad French boys lost to lowly South Africa 2-1.</p>
<p>This was an utterly horrible display of futebol that I have seen in many a moon.</p>
<p> If you remember it was Zinedine whose world famous head butt cost the French the 2006 World Cup title.</p>
<p>The French cheated into the World Cup now the Frogs are paying the price for their lying cheating ways.</p>
<p>I love it.</p>
<p>France has no wins, one draw, and two losses.</p>
<p>Voce Vai.</p>
<p>Uruguay won Group A by defeating Mexico 1-0.</p>
<p>Both Mexico and Uruguay both advance to the knockout round.</p>
<p>South Africa finished their World Cup play with one win, one loss, and one tie.</p>
<p>Both Mexico and South Africa were tied with four points each but Mexico advanced on a better goal difference.</p>
<p>Mexico has a plus one while South Africa is a minus 2.</p>
<p>Good show South Africa.</p>
<p>Argentina scored two late second half goals en route to a 2-1 win over Greece.</p>
<p>Argentinos breezed thru Group B gobbling up the full amount of points six.</p>
<p>Maybe Maradona is learning how to manage big time futebol.</p>
<p>Messi was used as the lone striker while Tevez was given the day off.</p>
<p>Argentina has the strongest strike force in the world-Messi, Tevez, and Higuain.</p>
<p>Add to the mix Maxi Rodriguez, Martin Palermo, and Gabriel Heinze and Argentina is down right dangerous.</p>
<p>Argentina still has a great shot to win the World Cup.</p>
<p>It would be great to have a Brasil-Argentina World Cup final.</p>
<p>Here’s some food for thought.</p>
<p>The South American clubs have not lost a single match.</p>
<p>Brasil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, and Paraguay are showing the rest of the world where the real futebol powers are.</p>
<p>It sure as hell isn’t in Europe.</p>
<p>England, France, Italy, Germany are playing like crap.</p>
<p>They stink.</p>
<p>Nigeria and South Korea tied at two all.</p>
<p>South Korea gets their ticket punched to the knockout stage.</p>
