World Cup Previews: June 18
Jun 18
So, I’ve decided to put them all into one. While I liked the separation before, this just makes more sense! Today’s Games VS 8:00 – Germany-Serbia VS 10:00 – USA-Slovenia VS 2:30 – England-Algeria Germany. Serbia. Clash of a Titan. Germany dominated their first game by doing what I said they would do… simple tactics,
A slow start for the Azzurri, but they’ll pick it up and start playing like in 2006! Not the best quality I admit because I extracted clips from youtube, edited them, then put it BACK on youtube lol… Oh well, the point is made.
VS Time (EST): June 16th – 2:30PM Favourite: Uruguay The Case for South Africa: I loved how Bafana Bafana played their first game. I think the home crowd really is elevating their game and will continue to do so. I expect more of the same from the home squad! The Case for Uruguay: They didn’t
VS Time (EST): June 16th – 10:00AM Favourite: Spain The Case for Spain: Finally Spain has arrived! After underachieving for so long, they finally have a team. When your team has top quality players in every position*… and a bench that’s more top quality players… it’s hard to argue against the Spanish. What does Iniesta
VS Time (EST): June 13th – 7:30AM Favourite: Chile The Case for Honduras: Big plays from small players. That’s the key for Honduras here. Honduras has an old, untalented team of players with no real experience. It’s a bad team and only if they step up twice as well as the North Koreans did today,
Oprah, you’re a real bitch if you don’t give this guy a show. In 3 minutes, this guy (who I’m proud to share my name with), is more funny, more interesting and more awesome than anything on TV. I’d like to keep him be the next Jack Bauer! Or House! Anything. And I agree… Cerebral
VS Time (EST): June 15th – 2:30PM Favourite: Brazil The Case for Brazil: Is there not a case for Brazil? I don’t even need to say anything really. This team left Ronaldinho at home… Ronaldinho! The Case for North Korea: North Korea got here by being defensively sound. They play with 4 defenders, 5 midfielders
VS Time (EST): June 15th – 10:00AM Favourite: Portugal The Case for Portugal: Hopefully Cristiano Ronaldo finally shows up for Portugal! If so, their chances improve immensely. It’s unfortunate that they lossed Nani, but they still have solid talent. Pepe is in no way fitness ready, so don’t expect anything great from him. Ronaldo wants
VS Time (EST): June 15th – 7:30AM Favourite: Slovakia The Case for New Zealand: This game is New Zealands best chance for a point. The team knows this and are just happy to be in the World Cup. It’s a major thing for them. Maybe this appreciative and accepting attitude will lead to relaxed play
VS Time (EST): June 14th – 2:30PM Favourite: Italy The Case for Italy: The scary thing is that coach Lippi says the players were tired in their last friendly. With the loss of Pirlo for this game, playmaking will be a tougher task. Italian defense will need to perform their best to stop any Paraguay

The World Cup is obviously my favourite event. With the rarity of it only coming once every 4 years, it adds to the excitement. But while watching, I’m always envious. I wish I still played the game, but every attempt to get back into it has either failed from lack of interest to create a
VS Time (EST): June 14th – 10:00AM Favourite: Cameroon The Case for Japan: They Blue Samurai got drawn into a tough group and they know this. They haven’t been playing well lately either. With no real offensive threat, they are going to have to rely mistakes made by a African team that’s unlikely to make
