One of the many aspects of ESPN's World Cup advertising campaign I've enjoyed most so far has been the beautiful murals the TV network has used both in banner advertising and promotion for the biggest sports tournament. If you haven't seen them yet, take a look at all 33 murals that were designed by ESPN's […]

Brazil has clinched a place in the knockout stage, for which Kaká will be rested, thanks to a one match suspension. The defending world champion Italy was drawn by New Zealand, while Paraguay sits alone at the top of Group F after their win over Slovakia. To talk about these matches plus Monday's three fixtures, […]

After Germany's shock 1-0 loss to Serbia, Podolski held up his hands and shouldered the blame. Nemanja Vidic's ridiculous handball in the penalty area gave Germany the chance to get back into the game, having already gone 1-0 down and having Klose sent off. Podolski stepped up and took the penalty, but Serbian goalkeeper Stojkovic […]

The Netherlands are the first team to have clinched a place in the second round, beating Japan, while Cameroon is the first be eliminated at World Cup 2010 after losing to Denmark. Also, we discuss Ghana only getting one point from 10-man Australia when myself, Laurence McKenna, and Kartik Krishnaiyer engage in a special edition […]

Ghana and Australia played to a 1-1 draw, after a Brett Holman goal in the 11th minute, and then a goal from the penalty spot by Asamoah Gyan. The incident involved Harry Kewell – who had just returned for Australia after an injury – who handled the ball on the goal-line and was sent off […]

With all of the different news, blog, and sport sites available on the internet, sifting through the pile for worthwhile material can be a nightmare. This is why I have, in association with The Gaffer, created the EPL Talk toolbar. It allows you to find the latest football news, blogs, and opinion quickly and efficiently […]

England so far have been...poor to say the least. Still, it hasn't been for want of effort or heart as some fans would believe. If they didn't care then the scorelines against the United States and Algeria would have been much worse. However, changes need to be made, not only to qualify from the group, […]

Just as all of you & I saw a great comeback from the USA against Slovenia, what was highway robbery was that third goal being taken away by the officiating crew from Mali. Leveled at two apiece from a fantastic tap in by Michael Bradley it seemed about three to four minutes later from a free […]

Many football fans around the world, when they think of football, do not immediately associate it with USA. The game just doesn't seem to fit in with American sports. American football, basketball, hockey: superhuman men playing at a level that is untouchable to us mere humans. If you're not 6'6 at minimum and you don't […]

Was the United States robbed by the referee against Slovenia? Perhaps, but we were all robbed of a football match from England and Algeria, two results that overshadowed the days' biggest surprise: the? Serbian derailing of the Nationalmannschaft. On this edition of the World Cup Buzz podcast, I'm joined by Laurence McKenna and Kartik Krishnaiyer […]

Wayne Rooney has never been one to hide his personality. His temper on the field has been scrutinized for years, but most Rooney and Manchester United fans chalk it up to the passion and heart he has for the game and for winning. The same passion and heart that makes Rooney one of the best […]

Miroslav Klose received two harsh yellow cards and was sent off just before half-time, and seconds later Milan Jovanovic opened the scoring for the Serbians. Time and again the Germans would push forward, even cracking the woodwork through a volley from Sami Khedira, but their possession would in the end count for very little. After […]
