Ivory Coast vs. North Korea – Disappointed

The Ivory Coast had a hollow victory today vs. North Korea. You can check out the match recap here. Before the tournament, a tie vs. Portugal, loss to Brazil, and win against North Korea appeared the most likely and thus plausible path to advancing out of this group of death. However, the North Korean capitulation in the second half gifted the Portuguese an insurmountable goal difference. That, and Brazil played their B team against Cristiano Ronaldo and company, all but ensuring an uneventful draw.

Post Mortem & the Importance of Pride

June 22nd, 2010 | By: Elliott | Comments Comments(0)

So, I took a day to collect my thoughts and recover from the atrocious results on Sunday. Portugal’s 7-0 demolition of North Korea and the ‘Coast’s 3-1 loss to Brazil has created a difficult situation for advancement. More alarming, the ‘Coast never looked capable of troubling the mighty Brazilians. Despite decent organization in the midfield and dedication to defense, we ... [read more]

Truth be told, our last liveblog spooked out a few readers. Somewhere, somehow, the Algerian commenter who wrote in all caps screams and moans in joy and confusion and agony. Behind him lurk the dead-live-blog zombies, thirsty for blog and extended soccer blog metaphors. But fear not, gentle reader, those zombies have been laid to rest. Rather, for the match ...

Ivory Coast v. Portugal: Recap, Ruminations…

June 15th, 2010 | By: Elliott | Comments Comments(2)

This, my friends, was as tightfisted a game as one can see. Both sides feared pushing numbers forward, with the result that clear cut chances failed to materialize. Still, with this gaping desert of defense as a backdrop, a few oasis of attacking prowess could be spotted, hazily fading into and out of view like a mirage. Still, a few ... [read more]

For Love Or Football

"Footballer asked to give up honeymoon for new club." Admit it - first thoughts center around the wife and a reaction worthy of any reality shows in which a new bride or bride-to-be seem like a good candidate for a rubber room and a key which gets mysteriously lost for...ever. Tim Ream ...

Bayern Munich Signs The Common Man

High up on the list of things no to do with football fans is to promise the unveiling of a big new signing and then fail to follow through. Worse is to promise a big signing and then come through with someone who won't even find the end of the ...

Jose Being Jose, In A Parking Lot

That's Jose after last night's Clasico, hanging out in the Camp Nou parking lot next to the referee's car. He's not waiting to tell him how much he enjoyed his performance or beg him for the maker of his cologne, I can tell you that much. Google Translate can do ...

Cristiano Throws A Clasico-Sized Fit

A Clasico which lived up to its name? But of course. And Cristiano was seen off the ball throwing what should now be one of his toddler tantrums? But of course. It's not one of his finest, in fact it'd have a hard time cracking his top five, but it's nice to ...

Mirandes: This Year's Cinderella

Despite the nonsense about some other matchup in the Copa del Rey right now - can't quite remember the names of those rather insignificant teams at the moment - the real story is not east, not west, but down. Way down in the third division. Mirandes, a humble little club ...

Overhead To The Head

Thee Balotelli stamp seems to be making its way round the internet quite soundly right now, but there was a far more vicious boot to the head in Europe this weekend which probably won't see any pop remixes anytime soon. Dorge Kouemaha of Kaiserslautern went to clear a ball out ...

Fly, Fly Away With Diego

When Al Wasl paid a hefty sum of money to Diego Maradona to lead their team, they did so not with the idea of getting the next great football coach, but with the idea that he'd be part coach, part entertainer, occasionally part circus clown. He rarely disappoints, if he ...

Spicing Up The Official Club Page

When you're a Brazilian club of the third division and you're starved for hits on your website, there are only two possible options: i. Hire a spammer. ii. Porn. Brasiliense has opted for choice number two, decking out their club website with adult-oriented imagery of females in various states of undress. And ...
