On of the first 'blood matches' of the World Cup. Will former colony Angola beat their former occupiers Portugal? Put your remarks on the match here.

Another match where an underdog can have a good result. Who will American fans support...their soccer rival, Mexico, or one of their arch enemies Iran. I say Mexico. Game is at 11:55 PM EST. Put your remarks on the game here.

This will be the first match between two European teams. Game at 9:00 AM EST. Put your remarks on the game here.

ABC's Day 2 World Cup coverage, I believe, was appalling. Sure, Marcelo Balboa misspoke and said "Michael Beckham" during the England match, but that was an unfortunate slip. But what I was more pissed off at was lead commentator Dave O'Brien. First off, his manner of speaking is very slowww and monotonous (great for baseball). […]

Day two is over, and it's been a long day. More than 126 miles in the car, tooling around South Florida watching World Cup matches in different locales rather than at home. Here are some of my experiences and observations. For the England versus Paraguay match, I made the 40 mile trip to The Kings […]

A great moral victory for CONCACAF, the MLS and Trinidad & Tobago After watching a marvelous display of defensive football by Trinidad's "Soca Warriors," I feel really good about the chances for both the USA and Mexico to have a good World Cup. Trinidad whom the US has had little trouble defeating in recent years […]

By The Scout Serbia and Montenegro – Nikola Zigic While no one is a lock to advance, there are two groups that will prove more difficult to emerge from than the others. Group E with Italy, USA, Ghana and Czech Republic squads has been dubbed a "group of death". Vying equally hard for that title […]

Jurgen Klinsmann has taken lots of criticism for his attacking style and his decision to continue to live in California while managing the national team. . While the critics may continue to persist, Klinsmann's Germany side scored 4 goals today and beat Coast Rica 4-2. Miroslav Klose picked up where he left off in the […]

Tried listening to the BBC Five Live live broadcast from work a few minutes ago to listen to the Germany v Costa Rica match, but alas — for those souls outside of the UK, like me — the Beeb doesn't have rights to broadcast the match overseas. Probably the worst place in the world to […]
