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.

Day three is underway at the World Cup.

Finally, we have victories instead of ties. Red Cards were the order of the day too.

Ghana was in complete control of the match. Sure, Serbia had their chances but in a matter a moments, the match was spun on its ear. A Red Card and handball spelled doom for Serbia.

Ghana defeated Serbia 1-0.

Asamoah Gyan nailed the PK in the 84^th minute to lift Ghana to a 1-0 win.

The idiot Serbian defender Zdravko Kuzmamovic punched the ball out the goal area.

This was dumb.

He should be shot for such stupidly.

Algeria lost to Slovenia 1-0.

Robert Koren nailed the match winner in the 79^th minute.

Algerian keeper Faouzi Chaouchi blew it. The ball bounced off his hands into the net.

This is Deja vue all over again.

Algerian Abdelkader Ghezzal was given the heave-hoe in the 73^rd minute.

So far, there has been lots of crappy play and many surprises.

The teams that I thought would have a great shot at winning the whole shooting match have played like crap.

England tied one all with the USA while Argentina squeaked by Nigeria 1-0.

Both of these sides should have won hands down.

The USA only has one world-class player Tim Howard.

Word has it that he is injured when he suffered a cleat to the chest.

If we loss him our goose is royally cooked.

Germany killed Australia 4-0.

The Aussies had a chance to score early but nada.

The German’s turned up the heat and scored lightening quick to put this baby away early.

Lukas Podolski ripped the twines in the 8^th minute.

Ozil’s great corner into the box set up this baby. Muller flicked a great pass to Podolski who has an easy shot into the back of net.

Klose’s header in the 26^th minute ended this puppy right here.

2-0 Germany.

The Aussie’s goose is cooked.

Germany added two more goals by Muller (67^th minute) and Cacau (70^th minute).

Day three is over and the German’s played the best futebol of the day.

Day four is coming up

The Netherlands escaped with a 2-0 win over Denmark.

An own goal by Denmark’s Daniel Agger in the 46^th minute spelled doom the Danish side.

Liverpool star Dirk Kuyt put the final nail in the Danish coffin in the 85^th minute.

Japan shut out Cameroon 1-0.

Defending World Cup Champs Italy tied with Paraguay 1-1.

Paraguayan striker Antolin Alcaraz nailed a perfect header into the back of the net in the 39^th minute for a 1-0 lead.

Alcaraz out leaped two Italian defenders for the winner.

This was set up by a great free kick into the depths of the box.

The Italians found the answer in the 63^rd minute.

Daniele D Rossi directed home a well-placed corner kick to the far right post. Rossi flicked the ball into the back of the net to even this sucker up at one all.

This is a huge tie for Paraguay.

Italy had most of the possessions.

On Tuesday Brasil takes on North Korea.

We need to come out smoking and kick some major butt.

Go Brasil.

The World Cup is three days away. The world’s best futebol clubs will battle it out for the 2010 World Cup title.

Spain and Brasil are the favorites to win the whole shooting match.

Argentina, England, and Italy have a good shot a being crowned champs too.

Italy is the defending World Champion.

Will the Italians repeat?

Not.

Let the games begin on Friday June 11^th.

The opening salvo has South Africa battling Mexico and Uruguay has a hot date with France.

Brasil opens up with Korea on June 15^th.

The USA takes on England on Saturday June 12^th.

This should be a good one.

The Unites States saving grace is Tim Howard in goal.

He is the only world-class player we have.

Landon Donovan showed promise when he played for EPL club Everton for a spell from January thru April but when push comes to shove Donovan wusses out in money matches.

Let’s see if Landon man will change his ways.

I can’t wait.

I am pulling for Brasil.

My heart is Brasilian.

Go Brasil.

Teams to watch out for-France, Germany, Nigeria, Portugal, England, and Cameroon.

You can cut this seventy-five ways to Sunday the USA is king of hill in North America but when it comes to the rest of the world, we are a day late and a dollar short.

The final score will indicate a closer match than what it was. Netherlands defeated the United States 2-1.

Netherlands was in total control from the outset.

The saving grace for the USA in this match was Tim Howard. He gave up two goals. The first was a PK.

The second was a solid deflection off the USA defender Jonathan Bornstein from a shot by Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

Howard was hung out to dry.

This was not Howard’s fault.

Tim Howard single handily kept the USA in the match. He prevented at least three shots from finding the back of the net.

The USA is a just a step slower than the fourth ranked team in the world the Netherlands.

Tim Howard is the only world-class player on the USA roster.

Argentina got by Germany 1-0. Gonzalo Higuan scored the only goal of the match in the 45^th minute. Gonzalo Higuan scored an easy gimmie goal when the German keeper wandered 45 yards out of goal to stop Higuan. Zippo Higuan does a dipsy do past him and this was all she wrote.

England fell behind early to Egypt 1-0. The English stepped up the pressure to cruise to a 3-1 win.

Peter Crouch hit the daily double. Crouch tickled the twines in the 56^th and 80^th minute.

Before Crouch’s score, in the 56^th minute, the English side was playing like crap. They were stinking the joint out.

Crouch’s first goal was the match changer.

Shawn Wright Phillips punted the ball towards the goal. The keeper Essam Hadari totally goofed up the play. The ball does a holy roller into the back of the net.

So what have we learned from these final tune-ups.

Nothing much. Brasil will still be the favorite entering into 2010 World Cup competition. Spain and the Netherlands will have very strong teams. Either of these two teams can win it all.

German will be a long shot.

England has chance but they need to put the John Terry incident behind them.

Argentina has a very strong team. Messi and Tevez will pose a double threat. But it all comes down to the idiot Argentinos have as a head coach Maradona.

Maradona is the wild card. Will he have a wild hair up his butt when the final squad is picked?

I sure hope Maradona puts Messi and Tevez on the pitch together.

These are big ifs.

I still think that Argentina needs to fire Maradona and bring in a real coach.

Argentinos have the players to win it all.

The USA is still an also ran. The USA can make it out of the group stage but that is about it.

Not until United States has their best athletes play futebol, the USA will always be a second-class citizen in futebol.

The best athletes in the USA play football and basketball.
