I don't think anyone in the world saw Germany thumping Argentina – who were seen as one of the favourites to win the tournament – by four goals to nil.

One of the greatest attributes of the US men's national team is something that very few other countries have on the world's stage. And that is a combination of good sportsmanship as well as a lack of cheating. Yesterday's games in the World Cup were a perfect example. You had Arjen Robben flopping, leaping and […]

After every World Cup, clubs from around the world are always trying to capture the latest talent who have shined on the world's stage.

Which have been the best goals of the 2010 World Cup so far? Despite the tournament being mired in controversy courtesy of the Jabulani ball from Adidas, there have still been plenty of delightful goals. Just to name a few that come to my mind are David Villa's wonderful run through the middle of two […]

Asamoah Gyan will be remembered for this: Rather than this: Which is a shame because he is a much better player than I ever knew.

Now that Brazil is out of the 2010 World Cup after a underwhelming performance against a very strong Dutch team, the favorites no longer have a chance to win the tournament. But who do you think will now win the World Cup? Before we get to the poll below, I would like to add that […]

Germany march into the quarter-final of the 2010 World Cup against Argentina, one of the favourites to win the tournament.

Brazil's star striker Luis Fabiano is looking to win the World Cup trophy with his country this summer, but second on his to-do list soon after is a high profile move to either Manchester United or AC Milan.
