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.

Another World Cup day chalk full with surprises. Australia and Ghana tied at one all.

The Aussies were blown out by Germany in their first match but the boys from down under sucked it up and fought back to get the draw.

Brett Holman got the Aussies on the board first in the 11^th minute.

Mate Mark Bresciano nailed a wicked free kick from long range.

Bingo. Off the keeper’s chest into the waiting feet of Brett Holman to give Australia a 1-0 lead.

Harvey Kewell was given the heave-hoe after he touched the ball with his arm in the 24^th minute.

Ghana’s Asamoah Gyan nailed the PK in the 25^th minute.

This baby ended up in a one all tie.

The Dutch took it to Japan in a 1-0 win.

The Netherlands was in complete control of this puppy from the outset.

Wesley Sneijder hit the winner in the 53^rd minute.

He rammed a long-range winner from just outside the box.

The shot powered right through the Japanese keeper Eiji Kawashima.

The Dutch squad had most of the possession time but the Japanese had several very good chances that missed the mark.

Ghana is in the pole position of Group D with four points. Germany is second with three.

Serbia is third with three. The Aussies have one pint.

Australia will be sent packing after the Group stage.

The Dutch are in the top spot in Group E with six points Japan is in second with three points.

Cameroon jumped out to an early 1-0 lead over the Danes however Demark came back with two goals to win 2-1.

The Lions are headed home.

Voce Vai Cameroon.

Your time is done.

Arsenal dude Nicklas Bendtner nailed the winner in the 33^rd minute off a great give and go.

Dennis Rommedahl’s strike in the 61^st minute ended this sucker and sent the Lion home packing.

Cameroon’s Samuel Eto’o scored in the 10^th minute to give them the early 1-0 lead.

The Dutch are on to the next round from Group E. Japan and Demark are tied with three points.

The Danes and Japan will take on each other in a winner takes all match.

Alex Lalas needs to be shot.

This guys sucks. His comments make no sense.

Why does ESPN keep on hiring this clown?

I mean give me a break.

They go out and get the worst possible futebol analyst’s in history.

Where does ESPN did these guys up?

Let Pele do it. Sir Alex.

No wonder ESPN is a joke.

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.

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.
