¡ Futbol !

It begins today.

Bigger than the Super Bowl.

The World Cup.

¡Fùtbol!

A Football "Hat Trick!"

It's never been done before-
three in a row......

Spain Wins!

History to Be Made on Sunday

The FIFA World Cup ends on Sunday. The championship will be history-making as neither team has ever won the Cup before.

The Orange Machine from Holland

-vs-

The Red- Spain.

Viva La Roja!

Down to the Last Open Spot

Futbol Continues...

Spain 1 Paraguay 0

On to meet Germany next week.

Round Two Begins

My two teams are still in it: The USA and Spain as the second round of the World Cup 2010 in South Africa begins.

USA today.

Spain on Tuesday.

And did you see that more people are soccer fans than say they support the Tea Party Movement? Must be because of all those illegal immigrants selling drugs that does it.

Wake Up, World

When I turned on the TV yesterday for the second match, I heard a noise in the background. It was the sound of a thousand bees buzzing. No. I was a South African tradition. So as a bonus, here's a fun background on the vuvuzela, the legendary and (un?) popular horn that is a staple of South African futbol....
