    2010 Football World Cup

    The final was an anti-climax. Boring match with a referee bent on trying to make a name for himself and ruin the match. Too card happy and some of his decisions were terrible. Worst decision was awarding a goal kick when it was a clear corner to Holland, that goal kick lead to the Spainish goal...

    NETHERLANDS!!!! WOOOOOOOO! So happy right now. Netherlands defeat Brazil 2-1 and move into the semi-finals. I travel to Netherlands next week and it will be awesome being there in this atmosphere. They play the winner of Uruguay vs Ghana, I am tipping Uruguay 3-1, and that is very winnable.

    2010 Football World Cup

    Germany did win like I predicted, it was 4-1 in the end and Germany were just too good for an England team that was still so flat. Their defence was horrible and the loss of Ferdinand before the tournament hurt England more than I thought it would. Gerrard's non-goal raises the issue again of...

    2010 Football World Cup

    I am quite happy with four points though, not as far as last time but we did well in a tough group, probably the toughest behind Brazil and Portugal's. It would have been nice to go though and play US since that would have been a winnable match. Shame but we have the Asian Cup coming up and...

    2010 Football World Cup

    End of the road for Australia. I woke up early and watched this match and we looked like a much better team, this is how we should have played the entire tournament. A 2-1 win is a nice way to finish although it is a shame that we selected the wrong team against Germany and played so badly, that...

    2010 Football World Cup

    Diving galore and card galore. Some of the referees have been giving out yellow and red cards at will. Yesterday the referee in the Chile Switzerland game nearly lost control of the game and to counter that was handing out cards for every little thing. Once the group stages finish I have faith...

    2010 Football World Cup

    Kewell's problem was his arm wasn't down by his side, he stuck it out a bit and that is what ruined him. I don't agree that he should miss the next game for it though, yes it is a penalty and yes he should be sent off but preventing him from playing the next game as well is a bit harsh. I think...

    2010 Football World Cup

    In Australia it is pretty big especially in the city centres as giant screens show the matches there, tens of thousands stand out in the cold at 4am to watch the match with others. Australians are disappointed so far since we haven't played as good as we can play. The last match against Ghana...

    2010 Football World Cup

    :( Still no luck for my predictions that I posted. Argentina finished the game 4-1 up with Gonzalo Higuain scoring the first hat-trick of this World Cup. Currently Nigeria is 1-0 up on Greece so no more goals need to be scored and I will finally have made a correct score prediction.

    2010 Football World Cup

    My predictions have been completely wrong so far. It won't stop me posting them though :p eventually I will get them right. Tonight I predict a 2-1 win for Argentina. They are going to be completely unpredictable because of Maradona. I see them going one goal down but then their talent will...

    2010 Football World Cup

    !!!Switzerland held on for a 1-0 win over Spain. The World Cup favourites lose their first match, doesn't look good for them going forward. Germany will most likely firm as favourites now. South Africa vs Uruguay is next, I predict a 1-1 draw.

    2010 Football World Cup

    Teams didn't train with it enough in my opinion, Germany have been using it since the start of this year earlier than most and they have got to grips with it and know how it works. Teams just haven't adapted and are trying to blame everything but themselves. Your right they are expecting the...

    2010 Football World Cup

    Bigelow's Funeral It has been disappointing so far. Most of the matches have been dull so far, I didn't expect so few goals in the opening section of the tournament. I thought that it would have been high-scoring since you have the strong teams playing the weaker teams in the group stages, like...

    2010 Football World Cup

    I was surprised that the New Zealand Slovakia game ended in a draw. Well done to New Zealand who equalised three minutes into extra time to get a point which many people didn't think they would get. Good match so far, a lot of attacking by both teams and they have both had their chances. I am...

    2010 Football World Cup

    Well Drogba is playing which is a huge boost for them but I can see them getting a draw at best. I wouldn't mind watching this match just to see Christiano Ronaldo play with his national team and see how he goes leading them.

    2010 Football World Cup

    I watched Netherlands vs Denmark yesterday and I thought that they played a consistent game without being too flashy. They look the goods and should go far in this tournament. Tonight I have picked Slovakia over New Zealand, Portugal over Ivory Coast and Brazil over Korea. I am pretty...

    2010 Football World Cup

    Lol Australia lost 4-0 to Germany. We were beaten the moment the team was named. No Kennedy and no Bresciano. We played Richard Garcia, who is a midfielder as our key striker. We had no actual striker on the pitch, the only attacking player was Cahill who had a shocker. To make things worse he...

    2010 Football World Cup

    Well Argentina did infact win, albeit only 1-0 however the biggest talking point by far is the England vs USA match. It finished 1-1 thanks to a poor mistake by their keeper Green who failed to stop an easy ball and ended up deflecting it into the goal. No idea why they went for him ahead of...

    2010 Football World Cup

    HOW ANNOYING ARE VUVUZELAS? I struggle to watch a match since those stupid horns drown out the commentators. I hate the background noise that they create. Those things should have been banned before the event started. I saw about 15 minutes of the start of the second half of Korea vs Greece...

    2010 Football World Cup

    A couple of days until the first game now and a lot of teams are battling injuries. For Australia, Emerton is still trying to get over a calf injury whilst Kewell is still on the mend. Cahill hurt his neck in the last practice match aswell. All three should be ready before the first actual game...
