Finally, that waste of a striker Dimitar Berbatov did what he was paid to do. Score goals. Berbatov hit the hat trick to lead Man U past a stubborn Liverpool squad.

The Red Devils defeated the Reds 3-2.

This was a huge win for the mighty boys from Old Trafford.

A tie or a loss could have stuck a fork in Man U’s title hopes.

Man U was up to their old tricks again.

The Red Devils jumped to 2-0 lead before Steven Gerrard nailed a PK in the 64^th minute and then added a deft strike in the 70^th minute to level this sucker at two all.

Enter Dimitar Berbatov in the 84^th minute to save the day for Man U.

This is a very disturbing trend for Sir Alex and his boys.

The Red Devils have squandered three leads against Everton, Fulham, and Liverpool.

This baby almost bit them in the butt.

The last time Liverpool won the EPL was 1990.

The Reds are retooling.

This rebuilding effort may last for a while.

If Man U can get Wayne Rooney on track, the Red Devils will be a top-flight club instead of very good.

Man City picked a huge win 2-0 against Wigan.

The Lactics are in the shits.

Carlos Tevez and Yaya Toure ripped the twines for City.

Chelsea took care of business at Home-Stamford Bridge.

The Blues destroyed Blackpool 4-0. 

Florent Malouda hit for the daily double.

Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou tickled the twines too.

The Seasiders never had a chance.

This was Blackpool’s first loss of the season.

Chelsea is top dog with 15 points.

My guys from Arsenal are in the second spot with 11 points.

Manchester United is third with 11 but my Gunners have a plus 10 compared with the Red Devils plus seven goal difference.

Both Man City and Tottenham have eight points but City is a plus four while Spurs are a plus two.

The United States was screwed out of a win. The goal by Maurice Edu in the 86^th minute was a good goal.

The dumb ref disallowed this sucker.

The USA scored two second half goals after falling behind 2-nil in the first half.

The USA and Slovenia tied two all.

Tim Howard was hung out to dry on both goals.

Valter Birsa nailed a long-range sniper shot top shelf left to gave Slovenia a 1-0 lead.

The goal by Zlatan Ljubijankic was a classic spilt the seam in the “D” score that forced Tim Howard to come off his line.

This forced Ljubijankic to shoot. He did. Zlatan Ljubijankic ripped the twines in the 42^nd minute to give Slovenia a 2-0 lead.

These goals were not Tim Howard’s fault.

The USA should be given great kudos for not quitting.

The guys toughed it up and scored two second half goals to level this sucker.

Landon Donovan finally proved he just might be a good player. He roofed a close range screamer in the 48^th minute to cut the deficit to 2-1.

Michael Bradley poked home a free ball in the 82^nd minute to level this baby up at two all.

This wasn’t futebol. It was the WWF on a pitch.

Slovenia was the king of the arm bar and sleeper hold.

Hulk Hogan and Johnny Valentine would be proud the way Slovenia performed their wrestling moves in the box.

What has happened to the mighty English?

Again, they played like clowns and tied with lowly Algeria nil-nil.

Where was Wayne Rooney?

How about Frank Lampard or Steven Gerrard?

Fabio Capello needs to be shot.

His team sucks.

The English press will be calling for his head.

Heck, I am calling for his head.

I am not English.

This was disgraceful futebol.

Serbia beat the mighty German team 1-0.

So much for a 4-1 thrashing of Australia

The German Floppers finally got a taste of their own medicine when Miroslov Klose was given the heave-hoe in the 36^th minute.

This was not a red card but after years of Germany receiving the benefit of crap calls, they finally got one called against them.

Paybacks are a bitch.

Better yet Serbian keeper saved the match when he stone cold stopped Lukas Podolski PK shot in the 60^th minute.

Stick a dagger in the German’s heart. 

Serbia’s Milan Jovanovic ripped the twines in the 38^th minute.

All the USA has to do is win baby and we’re in like Flynn.

 Here was another day of upsets, crappy play, and horrible refereeing.

FIFA needs to straighten out the ref mess,

It looks like the fix is in.

Double Bubble boil and trouble is the problem with Fabio Capello and his English chargers.

The Americans were out played for 75% of the match but Clint Dempsey’s gift of a goal in the late stages of the first half gave the Yanks a one all draw with the Three Lions.

America’s saving grace was keeper Tim Howard.

He is the only world-class player we have.

Thank our lucky stars Howard was on the top of his game. If not it could have been worse.

We will take it.

Landon Donovan played okay but for most of the match, he was a non-factor.

Steven Gerrard’s strike in the 4^th minute put England up 1-nil.

This was set up by a great give and go.

Howard never had a chance.

He was hung out to dry by the American’s crappy “D”.

Clint Dempsey found the back of the net in the 40^th minute. Keeper Robert Green should have stopped Dempsey’s shot. Instead, Green had a brain fart. He decided to do an imitation of Charlie Chaplin. The ball hits Green in the worse place the hands. Whamo, bamo the ball bounces off of his hands into the back of the net for a one all tie.

Green needs to be shot at dust for stupid play.

Argentina shut out Nigeria 1-0.

Maradona’s squad thoroughly out played Nigeria. The result should been at least 5-0.

This is not good for Argentinos.

If Argentina continues to play like this, they will not make it out of the group stage.

Gabriel Heinze diving header off a well place corner kick in the 6^th minute was the difference.

Nigeria had several opportunities off the counter attack but they could not convert.

Maradona played five guys up front. This left the back line exposed. If Nigeria could have convert their limited chances Argentinos might have lost instead Maradona has to thank Nigeria’s ineptness.

Nigeria played like a team that didn’t want to be there. They played without heart. Nigeria looked they wanted to be at home.

South Korea killed Greece 2-0.

The South Korean’s flat out played pedal to the medal futebol.

Day two was full of surprises just as day one was.

No one expected England to tie with the United States.

Argentina barely got by Nigeria.

The Greeks stunk the joint out.

We have learned one important lesson so far in the World Cup.

Expect the unexpected.

Watch out for the dogs.

Tim Howard is one of the keepers in the world.

ESPN still suckers at broadcasting futebol.

Lalas and his buds Chris Fowler need to give up the ship and let someone who knows futebol do the grunt work.

At least ESPN had the good sense to let English announcers broadcast the matches. ABC should do the same.

Chelsea has pretty much wrapped up the EPL title today with a resounding 2-0 win over Liverpool.

The Reds played like crap.

Steven Gerrard stupid backwards pass in the 33^rd minute sealed the Reds fate.

Didier Drogba took the gift and scored what was essentially the match winner.

Frank Lampard added the seal of approval in the 53^rd minute.

The title is the Blues unless something really crazy happens next Sunday at Stamford Bridge.

Liverpool was not going to give the title to the hated guys from Old Trafford.

Revenge is sweet.

The Reds gave the title to the Blues instead.

Nani scored the only goal of the match in the 28^th minute.

This win still gives Man U glimmer of hope for a historic four-peat.

I wouldn’t bet the farm on it.

Dimitar Berbatov wasted three great scoring chances. This guy stinks to high heaven.

The surprise of the match was this. Wayne Rooney played. I didn’t think this would happen.

The Rooney man manned up and played.

It all comes down to Sunday May 9^th.

All Chelsea has to do is beat Wigan at Stamford Bridge.

Wigan will not, I repeat will not beat Chelsea.

Man U needs beat Stoke City at Old Trafford and hope the Blues lose.

NOT!

This is one of those weird Saturdays. The EPL is off so all we have to talk about is the FA Cup. I find the FA Cup boring. Yes, I know it is the oldest cup competition in the world. 

Thanks to the sponsors of my blog- Sports Memorabilia, Luci Now Com E-cigarettes, and the Sports Authority-the nation’s preeminent full-line sporting goods chain. Shop online or in-store for your favorite brands – Nike, Under Armour, The North Face, Bowflex, Schwinn, Lifetime and more.

The first FA Cup was held in 1871-72.

This pits clubs from all divisions against each other. The little guys have a chance to upset the big boys however this rarely happens. Yes, it makes good copy when it happens.

In the last nine years, one Championship League team made to the finals Cardiff City 2007-08. Cardiff City lost to Portsmouth 1-0 in the final.

One League One side Millwall made it to the 2003-04 final where the Loins lost to Man U 3-0.

The most famous of the little guys who pulled off the big upsets were Wimbledon in 1975 and Telford United in 1982-93. Telford had another one of their magical runs in the 2003-04 FA Cup when they made to the fourth round before losing to Millwall the 2003-04 finalists.

Telford went broke and stopped playing futebol in 2004

With this little diddy as a backdrop, one piece of surprising news came out of FA Cup third round play today. Liverpool and Reading tied one all.

This is a huge upset tie.

Liverpool should have killed em but the Reds didn’t.

Steven Gerrard saved Liverpool’s bacon when he scored the equalizer in the 36^th minute.

The Royals stink this year. Reading is a step above getting the heave-hoe to League One.

Still the Royals gave the Reds all they could handle and then some.

Liverpool pretty much started their first team. This is not good.

This was the only real scare of the day.

Tottenham cleaned Peterborough’s clock 4-0.  Spurs were led by Niko Kranjcar’s daily double. Jermain Defoe and Robbie Kean each touched the twines for Tottenham.

City escaped with a 1-0 win over Middlesbrough.
Benjani Mwaruwari rocket in the 45^th minute was the difference in the match.

Carlos Tevez came close twice to putting the match out of reach but he missed by just that much.

Middlesbrough’s Gary O’Neil had a golden opportunity but he came up just short.

It looks like Mancini is righting the City ship. Three shut out wins under his leadership so far but the jury is still out. City needs to get wins against some quality sides.

You gotta love it.
