Is it just me or did the World Cup seem to last a lot longer when I was a kid? Argentina, Spain, and Mexico those World Cups all seemed to last half the summer. The entire summer seemed to revolve around them. This year it just blew by.

Blatter, Goal Cams, Russians and more…

Reflecting on yesterday’s USA-Ghana, match I’ve come to the conclusion that perhaps we really shouldn’t be surprised the World Cup is over for the Stars & Stripes. While the team did not do poorly, well, not by 2006 or 1998 standards, they weren’t exactly setting the competition on fire either.

There have been plenty of stories so far but I wanted to quickly breakdown the winners and losers among the teams who have gone home already and the different confederations.

A quick roundup of where we are heading into the final matches of the group phase.

Yes, Koman Coulibaly made a poor call, but who’s fault is it he was put in that situation?

I saw this coming but never thought it would get to this point. Now the media are reporting that banning those darn plastic horns at World Cup matches may be possible.

South Korea 2 – 0 Greece
Argentina 1 – 0 Nigeria
England 1 – 1 USA

South Africa 1 - 1 Mexico
Uruguay 0 - 0 France

I’ve always thought it would be cool to coach a national soccer team. Yeah, it would take a lot of work, and success to find yourself in that position. But to make some good money traveling around to games to see the countries top players. Always have a great seat made available to you….
