Casillas sends Italy home.
It was a dramatic match. Spain took victory home after 0 – 0 on regular and overtime and after a 4 – 2 win in penalty shootouts. This is the first time Spain reaches this far since 1984 and they were the only top of the group to move on to the semis. They will [...]
What happened there Oranje?
When I sat in my couch today to watch the Netherlands play Russia for the quarter-finals of EURO 2008, I was expecting to see the Oranje crush the Russians. What happened instead, was a Russian party, with a lot of Oranje squeezed juice. In a match where it seemed like the Netherlands spent all their [...]

Ballack 1 – C. Ronaldo going home and crying with his Louis Vuitton man-bag, 0.
World Cup Qualifiers: Time to fire Dunga. Now please!
1 – Fire Dunga. 2 – Robinho does not have a brain. 3 – Let’s hope Messi does not realize he can dribble all 11 players and score whenever he wants. Done with my comments, this is really frustrating.

It’s about time, Dunga. A draw against Argentina usually is not bad. A draw against [...]

Euro 2008 Results – Jun 19th: sour goodbye to Scolari.
And so it ends the Big Phil reign with the Portuguese. Not the ideal “tchau” as a weak Portugal was defeated by a booming Germany. Well deserved for the Germans, and a lot of frustration for the Lusos. Maybe that will bring C. Ronaldo’s cockiness a little bit down, maybe not. But the fact is, [...]
