Germany has put up another four goal game – this time, eliminating a team that had become one of the favorites, sending Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi out of World Cup 2010. The Germans advance to Wednesday's semifinal to face Spain, who barely advanced past Paraguay thanks to David Villa's fifth goal of the tournament. […]

Supposedly, the Three Lions on England football shirts represent pride, passion and courage. Clearly, it’s time for a kit redesign.

World Cup 2010 has been a challenging tournament for fans of the beautiful game. There have been beautiful goals, incredible teamwork and wonderful stories.

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. Without Michael Ballack, Rene Adler, Simon Rolfes, and Christian Traesch, the Germans were overlooked before a ball had been kicked at this summer's World Cup. […]

As the World Cup draws to its conclusion and the sun sets on South Africa, the Premier League owners will be opening their chequebooks, pulling out their pens and scribbling down fees to prize some of world football's hottest talents to the glitz and glamour of England.

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.

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 […]
