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 […]

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 […]

Four years ago, which seems like a lifetime in Internet years, the 2006 World Cup experience was very different than it is today. There were only a handful of soccer podcasts worldwide. Soccer blogs were a relatively new thing. And the TV coverage was decent. All games were televised but national anthems were skipped and […]

I'm trying to pretend it's not true, but there's only seven games left in this World Cup tournament (I'm not counting the third place game, which is a waste of time and a silly idea). When you think about it, seven games isn't much. That's a typical Saturday in the Premier League. So since we're […]

This weekend, soccer fans around the world will be licking their lips at the prospect of four World Cup quarter-final games, each of which will be intriguing for different reasons. The games are: BRAZIL v HOLLAND, Friday, 10am ET. URUGUAY v GHANA, Friday, 2:30pm ET. GERMANY v ARGENTINA, Saturday, 10am ET. SPAIN v PARAGUAY, Saturday, […]

Man, I am seriously jonesing for some football. After nearly three weeks of up to three games a day, suddenly, my world has dropped off a cliff. A blank, non-football day arrived yesterday and worse still has been followed by another one. What do I do? How do I live my life without the skeleton […]

With Italy out of the 2010 World Cup, we have plenty of time to plan for the future and avoid any mistakes we made in this tournament. So it's important to know what Italy did wrong, the mistakes that cost us dearly in the World Cup, making us end up last in the group, behind […]

We've seen 19 straight days of World Cup soccer. During that time, we've watched an mind boggling 56 games. There have been plenty of highs, lots of controversy and a few lows. But how does this World Cup compare to previous ones in your opinion? Better or worse, or same? Vote in the poll below. […]

Watching the highlights of Germany's demolition of England in the World Cup are a pretty depressing sight, but LegoFussball.eu have brought some levity to the situation by featuring the highlights as played out by Lego characters. Each scene uses stop motion photography. Particularly interesting is the replay of Frank Lampard's disallowed goal. In the Lego […]

In short: Everywhere. Though that won’t do. England’s problems were numerous and solutions are not easy to come by. It’s best to look at the team and the manager as a whole. Hang on, that sounds awfully familiar, oh well the point still stands. England’s elimination was in hindsight predictable but before the game started […]

And so the England inquest begins once again. After every tournament the same earth is dug over and over again. There can’t be a single argument, idea or notion that hasn’t been given an airing in the last 48 hours. I should know, I’ve been as responsible as anyone for writing them. The corpse of […]

For some of us, watching the highlights of USA versus Ghana may be too painful to watch. But thankfully Legofussball.eu has highlights featuring Lego characters playing out the key moments of the World Cup game. Using stop-motion photography and wonderful sets, the video is a beautiful thing to watch. It's just a shame that the […]

After the failure of Germany 2006, nobody wanted to hire Bob Bradley for this job. It was hard to find a fan that thought he was the right man. US Soccer was desperate to hire Jurgen Klinsman. Columnist fantasized about importing some maestro from Europe or South America. When the other options failed to pan […]

The British press are in a tizzy about who should replace Fabio Capello as the next England manager, or whether the Italian should remain in charge. Harry Redknapp? Roy Hodgson? Martin O'Neill? I've even read David Beckham's name mentioned as a potential candidate. But let's face the bitter reality. Whoever is England's coach for the […]

And as you read about transfer rumors and deals, you hear the names like Di Maria, Maicon, […]
