We’re on the the final lap of EURO 08 Qualifiers. Some teams have already qualified and others depend on results in order to get the ticket to Switzerland and Austria. Italy vs. Scotland should be an awesome match and if Russia wins against Israel, England gets into deep trouble.

Good news from FIFA today. The 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup will be hosted by Germany. With an amazing job at the 2006 Men’s World Cup, Germany should have no problems repeating the same success in 2011. It will also give a chance for the German ladies to defend their title in home soil.

After a few weeks of already knowing that World Cup 2014 will be played in Brazil, today came the official announcement.

FIFA rank shows today, Argentina on top. I guess I am at the point where I couldn’t care less since this rank changes more than Posh changes outfits (not really). The fact is, with World Cup qualifiers and EURO 2008 approaching, FIFA rank will oscillate even more.

If you are planning on going to Austria and Switzerland for EURO 2008, or are even just planning to go in quieter times, a must-see stop is the Lindt & Sprüngli chocolate factory located in Kilchberg, Switzerland. Eating lots of Lindt chocolate is a requirement for those wanting to fully experience Swiss culture (coupled with [...]

The Seleção reminded us, today, of what Brazilian football is about. The team from coach Dunga scored 5 goals on Ecuador, for the second round of FIFA South American 2010 qualifiers. The match was beautiful, the pitch so-so, and the 85,000 people present saw a team that, not only created but also defende and was [...]
