Whether you're new to the World Cup or you're taking in your tenth finals, you're sure to have noticed the incessant drone at matches this past weekend from the stadium horns known as vuvuzelas that are so common in South Africa.

Laurence McKenna, co-host of the EPL Talk and World Cup Buzz Podcasts, recently had a golden opportunity to sit down with one of the most remarkable English football writers and authors, Barney Ronay of The Guardian and When Saturday Comes. In this second part of the interview series (part one is included below), Ronay shares […]

The Azzurri have played their first match, and while some will view the 1-1 draw result as a bad thing, the match was actually filled with positives for Italy. Although we've seen Germany demolish Australia 4-0, I think that the Azzurri match was unique, it finally felt like I was watching a World Cup match. […]

Sunday we reported that ESPN's viewing numbers for the first five games of the tournament were double the number from four years ago. And now there's more good news as the TV ratings and updated audience numbers for Saturday and Sunday's matches add more ammunition to the argument that the 2010 World Cup is taking […]

The World Cup is synonymous with the best in soccer. But it's also synonymous with a global celebration that brings soccer fans together to follow the beautiful game together. Cold beer, World Cup babes and soccer are a perfect combination, so I was fortunate this past weekend to attend the World Cup Party at Wowies […]

Weezer may be best known for its hit single "Buddy Holly," but what you may not know is that singer/songwriter Rivers Cuomo is also a massive soccer fan. Not only is he a big soccer fan, but he's also a supporter of the US men's national team. So much so, in fact, that he just […]

When Germany lost Michael Ballack coming into this world cup, some commentators were writing them off, or at the very least not touting them as tournament favourites. Despite an excellent qualification campaign in a less than forgiving group Germany emerged without a loss and played with a freedom that went unnoticed. That is until Sunday […]
