Today was a watermark moment in world soccer. And, with great difficulty but complete honesty, I believe that today marks the final evidence that England is no longer a soccer giant. Depending on which side of the fence you sit on, this may seem like common sense or complete hypocrisy. But if we ever needed […]

Devastated. Demoralized. Disgusted. Disillusioned. Can we get one more D? How about depression. This is a dark day in the history of the World Cup. And in the history of soccer. Yes, it's that dark. It's hard to write the emotions I feel right now. I'm a citizen of the United Kingdom and the United […]

England was cheated of a blatant Frank Lampard goal Sunday against Germany when the Chelsea midfielder's shot hit the crossbar, bounced 2-3 feet inside the goal and back out of the goal. But incredibly, the referee decided that it wasn't a goal which allowed Germany to go into half-time 2-1 ahead. This is a blatant […]

They think it's all over (Sie denken es ist alles vorbel), well it is now. Not quite, but before, during and after England's massive game today against Germany, post your opinions and observations in the comments section below as Fabio Capello's men aim to overturn the Germans to reach the quarter-finals. According to the UK […]

The Azzurri performed poorly throughout the World Cup and waited till the 80th minute of the match against Slovakia to start playing when it was too late to make a reaction to compensate for the failures in the previous 260 minutes of football. What is most troubling is the fact the Italian reaction was not […]

No matter what country you support, the pain of losing in a World Cup is a bitter pill to swallow. After a frustrating performance by the United States against Ghana, the United States men's national team will be returning home shortly after a successful tournament. The team and fans can keep their head held high. […]

With an unfathomable yet realistic possibility of an unceremonious exit from FIFA World Cup 2010, the Spanish national football team tussled with a Chilean side that has been one of the most impressive teams in this tournament thus far. Marcelo Bielsa, Chile's manager, insisted on a positive approach with an indirect emphasis on flair that […]

Defeat is bitter especially when it's your own country that loses. It's depressing. It affects your mood, brings you down and can make you angry. But rather than dwell on the negative today after Ghana's 2-1 win over the United States in extra time, I wanted to share just a few reasons why US soccer […]

Before, during and after today's historic World Cup game between USA and Ghana, feel free to share your comments in the section below. The last time the US had a game this big was 2002 when they played Germany in the 2002 World Cup. According to CNN, they thought Feilhaber will start on the left. […]

The first round of a World Cup tournament is a mere dress rehearsal for what we are about to experience. Starting today, this is where the World Cup begins. Where every game matters. Where teams will either live or die by the sword. During the first round, teams are often playing conservative and calculated soccer. […]

It's seldom that a highlights video is laugh-out-loud funny, but this compilation video showing Fabio Capello and his reaction to England's performance against Slovenia in the World Cup made me guffaw several times. The best moments include Stuart Pearce. So much for Pearce's "Psycho" nickname.

If you're a US soccer fan, the above video is required viewing. It shows how much Landon Donovan's winning goal meant to the United States, soccer fans and the American people. So much emotion outpouring from people around the world as they celebrated the United States's victory against Algeria. In the past week, I've been […]

In what is becoming one of my most favorite series of viral videos this World Cup, here's the next installment of Lego Football which features the highlights of England against Slovenia in beautiful stop-motion Lego graphics. And how good is it to see John Terry's salmon-like dive across the box as performed by a Lego […]

Plus, in addition to that, there's the mouthwatering clash between Argentina and Mexico (Sunday, 2:30pm ET) and last, but not least, Uruguay versus South […]

ESPN's coverage of the 2010 World Cup has been spectacular. But if I must be honest, some of the commentators are beginning to get on my nerves. It's normal, I guess – especially after you consider how many hours we've spent listening to these commentators since the tournament began on June 11. Based on what […]
