World Cup Final: Holland vs Spain
So the World Cup will be graced by first time winners as Holland enter their third final with Spain making their first appearance in the sport’s showcase event. The Holland side of bygone eras that were known for having style but no substance have been replaced by a sturdy side that takes no prisoners. Mark Van Bommel and Nigel De Jong stay in centre midfield and like to kick the legs off the opposition’s... [Read more]
Third/Fourth Place Playoff: Germany vs Uruguay
Saturday evening sees the most pointless game in perhaps any sport as the losing semi finalists playoff for the meaningless title of finishing in ‘third’ place. Uruguay were predictably tired against Holland but stuck with it as Diego Forlan struck a brilliant goal to equalise and frighten the Dutch. Then a marginal offside decision went against them as Holland retook the lead and appeared to finish... [Read more]

Semi Final: Germany vs Spain
It could be said that the cream is now rising to the top. Germany have looked sensational in most of their games thus far, replacing German efficiency with the sort of attacking football that real fans drool over. It turns out that dismantling Australia in the opening game was a sign of things to come as young guns like Mesut Ozil and Thomas Muller have come to the fore. The loss of Muller because...

Semi Final: Uruguay vs Holland
Uruguay are in their first semi final in 40 years. They may feel that this is their destiny due to the fortunate nature of their triumph in the quarter final against Ghana. With the game locked at 1-1 in the final seconds of normal time, Luis Suarez desperately handled the ball on the line, incurring a red card and giving a penalty to Ghana. Astonishingly, Asamoah Gyan hit the crossbar with the spot... [Read more]
Quarter Final: Paraguay vs Spain
Paraguay started off in impressive fashion against Italy before conceding an equaliser and hanging on for a point. They looked good against Slovakia but then drew 0-0 with minnows New Zealand. Their second round match was turgid to say the least as that encounter with Japan seemed destined for penalties from the first 20 minutes. It finished 0-0 but Paraguay held their nerve, dispatching all five spot... [Read more]
Quarter Final: Argentina vs Germany
There have been a few games during this tournament that looked like they would produce fireworks but have disappointed yet it looks certain that this will be a classic. Neither side has a particularly good defence and both teams are set up to play good attacking football. Argentina have looked marvellous in patches, scoring four against South Korea and three against Mexico. Lionel Messi looks in supreme... [Read more]
Quarter Finals: Uruguay vs Ghana
Very few people would have predicted either of these sides making the quarter final let alone both. This means that a highly unfancied side will make the semi finals which is great news for the tournament. Uruguay struggled in South American qualification but have been reborn in this competition. Their defence was impregnable in the group stages as they conceded no goals and won two of their three... [Read more]
