North Korea in the World Cup
I know the country is not the “miss congeniality”, but how cool is that? Since 1966, when Portugal eliminated them with a 5-3, North Korea does not play a World Cup. Even cooler? South Korea will be there, forcing commentators to say “North” or “South” instead of just “Korea”. The qualification came after a 0 [...]
Historical Humiliation in Uruguay
33 years. This is how long it took for Brazil to defeat Uruguay at the Centenario stadium. The last time Brazil won there, Zico was having his debut with the yellow jersey. After that, people like Socrates, Careca, Muller, Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho Gaucho tried but did not win. None of today’s players were [...]

No Surprises as Dunga Announces WCQ Squad
Dunga announced the squad to take on Ecuador and Peru for the World Cup Qualifying. The biggest surprise? Defender Miranda from Sao Paulo. The “no” surprise? Dunga is always late. When Miranda was one of the best defenders in Brazil, Dunga ignored him. Now that he is not even the best defender at Sao Paulo [...]

Meet the mascot of 2010 World Cup in South Africa
Meet Zakumi, the mascot of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. He (or she) is a leopard with a lion’s hair - a bit weird indeed. What do you think?
Photo: this is where the 2010 World Cup in South Africa will start and end.
Johannesburg will be hosting the opening and the final match of 2010 World Cup. We have great hopes that this stadium will be finished on time. It’s supposed to be shaped like an African artisan’s vase. The brand new stadium will be able to hol 94 thousand football fans.
Mourinho: “Thanks but I’ll pass”
It is really a dramatic end. The novel has come to an end and Mourinho has left the FA with no option but moving on. Tough breakup. The former Chelsea boss is probably going to face a new club challenge and it seems as working for an international squad in not really his thing. Who [...]
Eto’o: poster boy for South Africa 2010
Every World Cup has a poster. And it won’t be any different with World Cup 2010 in South Africa. The official poster was announced today, in Durban, and it has something no other has had: Eto’o’s sillouete. The Cameroon player was chosen to personify the African continent and is the new poster boy for South [...]
