World Cup News: England Vs USA, A Slick Affair? (Poor Taste Prevails)
Morning all, and welcome to the daily World Cup column on Soccerlens. I’m thoroughly glad you could join us. As you may be aware, today is the day I’ve been waiting for since before I can remember (although the acute amnesia I suffer from probably undermines a lot of the drama in that particular statement),…
England v USA – Overconfidence and Rooney to bring Yanks down?
England take on USA in their World Cup 2010 opening game at Rustenberg. Will the USA be able to repeat their plucky 1950 1-0 win or will this be more 2008, when England (unconvincingly) beat the Americans 2-0?
World Cup Preview Part 1: Rooney’s Metatarsal, Dunga’s Demise and French Revolution!
Now I can point to endless articles I have written on here that have been so on the money, in terms of their predictions/forecasts, that it’s scary! Only recently I predicted the demise of Benitez and that Chelsea would win the PL. I have also clearly pointed out that Mourinho is a lucky wanker, Wenger…
Moore and Grella disappointing in Australia loss to the United States
The Socceroos final pre-World Cup hit-out has ended in a disappointing 3-1 loss to the United States at Ruimsig Stadium. With national coach Pim Verbeek fielding a strong side, they were expected to challenge their more-illustrious opponents. But from the moment midfielder Vince Grella gave the ball away cheaply for Edson Buddle to blast past Mark…
The sticky conundrum of America’s second striker
It’s interesting that the U.S. men’s team should be in this curious situation on the eve of this great stage next weekend. Striker, at one point in the not-too-distant past, was a locked down position. It was a non-issue. In the wake of the Americans’ stunning 2-0 defeat of Spain – which I’ll remind you…
2010 World Cup build-up – ESPN’s 32 epic works of art
ESPN is playing the lead role in 2010 World Cup coverage worldwide even leaving the host nation’s TV channel way behind. The top commentators of the game John Motson and Andy Gray have also signed up with ESPN and it does not end there (more details on ESPN’s World Cup coverage). Here is the gallery…
The Yanks touch down in SA; Australia tune-up awaits
So, the boys are now at altitude. JSpector says the early arrival helps alleviate the burning in your lungs, which crops up immediately and lasts about three days. Helloo, Azteca. Bobbo called the 17-hour flight from DC to Joburg ‘easy.’ Right. The USMNT is staying at this place, the Irene Country Lodge, behind three-foot thick…
ESPN doubles World Cup coverage, bullish on soccer across the board
ESPN, the U.S. sports broadcasting giant of 5,000 employees, is preparing to launch their coverage of World Cup South Africa 2010, their seventh World Cup and largest operation ever outside of the U.S. The production is twice the scale as the production in Berlin and Munich in 2006 and has 300 full-time staff members dedicated…
ESPN SportsCenter’s Landon Donovan ad
The USA ace Landon Donovan features in the ESPN SportsCenter’s ad for the World Cup. The theme is a day at the SportsCenter’s office and Donovan fails miserably to operate a simple photocopier and is subsequently punished. Take a look:
Group C: The Group of Life
With the footballing space on the internet dominated by Britain and America, this group is being intensely studied. But it shouldn’t be. I mean, really, it’s not all that interesting. England have been given a group to cruise, and U.S.A. should get through given their progress in the Confederations Cup.
