World Cup Attractions: Johannesburg

World Cup Attractions: Johannesburg

So Brazil will be spending a whole lot of time in Johannesburg, and we need to start planning what to do apart from the games. I found some interesting stuff but I thought to maybe get some tips via the site. So far on my list:

Goodbye Becks?

Goodbye Becks?

It’s been all over the place: David Beckham will probably not be joining England in South Africa after injuring his Achilles tendon. AC Milan’s midfielder is now heading to Finalnd to take care of the situation but it is highly unlikely Becks will be able to join Fabio Capello’s team in June. The Three Lions [...]

Will injuries scupper England's World Cup hopes?

Really, only in Brazil this sort of shit happens. And it kills me.
Adriano, who has the right to practice whenever his royal ass feels like, hasn’t showed up in Flamengo for the past 9 days. He got two free days before joining Brazil to play Ireland on March 2nd, got back to Brazil on Thursday, [...]

The Portuguese team is not looking very Portuguese for some.

The campaign’s creator, Ivo Lapa, [...]

Brazil 2 - 0 Ireland.

Brazil 2 – 0 Ireland.

To start, Brazil’s left midfield, which hasn’t been working since Roberto Carlos left in 2006. So many have [...]

They did it again. 2 – 1 win against Aston Villa. Milner opened for Aston on a penalty kick. But Man U managed to turn the match with goals from Owen and Rooney. Well deserved. This is the fourht time they take home Carling Cup (1992, 2006, 2009 e 2010).
