You Can Do It Uruguay! GO URUGUAY!

Germany makes 5 changes, Klose out vs Uruguay! 

Defender Lahm and forward Podolski are out with the flu. Uruguay made three changes to the team

Klose's aching back has prevented him from threatening Ronaldo's World Cup goal record of 15 as the striker could not make the Germany lineup of the third-place against Uruguay.

Some generally don't remember the team that finishes third at a World Cup, but it gives the Uruguayans and Germans a chance to sign off in South Africa with a victory!

Uruguay brought back memories of previous triumphs in 1930 and 1950 with their run to the last four.

COME ON URUGUAY!  NOW, WHAT'S LEFT IS TO PLAY TO THE DEATH FOR THE THIRD PLACE AND YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Football is passion!

Don't Cry For Me Argentina! Germany beats Argentina 4 -0

Que paso Maradona?  Pibe nos ganaron?

"It was absolute class," Germany coach Joachim Loew said.  Hard to argue with that, and I love to argue. :(

Argentina had been one of the tournament's darlings, with coach Diego Maradona's every move causing a stir and superstar Lionel Messi showing you don't need to score to be sublime.  The Argentines rolled into the quarterfinals as one of only two teams to win all its games - the Netherlands was the other - and had been powerful they never trailed.

No wonder a star-studded crowd was on hand at Green Point Stadium, with German chancellor Angela Merkel, Mick Jagger, Leonardo DiCaprio, and South Africa's own Charlize Theron were all spotted in the VIP seats.

But Germany overwhelmed the Argentines, and shut down Messi in the process. "I'm as disappointed as all Argentinians," Maradona said. "To see my country lose a football match is very hard for someone who has worn the shirt."  It was very painful to watch how they crucify my still favorite team Argentina!!!!  As I said in my previous blogs - there is always another one - World Cup 2014!  That's football, that's why I LOVE the World Cup, full of excitement, tears, but definitely full of surprises.

I must admit, the Germans were amazing!  We still have Paraguay and Spain, Good Luck!
We'll see who take the World Cup....  Lo ultimo que puedo decir es, Que Gane el Mejor!

Big expectations as U.S. meets Ghana in World Cup

Going into a second-round World Cup match is a big step and for U.S. is so much more. A victory they will advance to a quaterfinal matchup vs Uruguay or South Korea on July 2nd and match the farthest the U.S. team has advanced since the first World Cup in 1930!

"If we continue to build on the successes so far, we can go to the end," coach Bob Bradley said Friday.  "You want to have a team that the people who care about...and follow that team and root for that team and can feel part of," coach Bob Bradley said Friday.  "A team that people believe in and a team that people are proud of. That's part of our responsability, and we're excited in the moment that there's that kind of feeling."

In the other hand, "Ghana is the African hope now," defender Samuel Inkoom said. "We aren't going to disappoint them."

Tomorrow's games:

Uruguay vs South Korea at 7:00 am

United States vs Ghana at 11:30 am

Go Uruguay, Go USA..... 

Spain and Chile - both advance.

Spain learned the lesson of Italy and France. But Chile's still alive, and South America keeps on rolling.  Spain finished at the top of group H with 6 points and will play Portugal in the next round. Chile was second and will play Brazil. Switzerland was third and Honduras was last.

The Chileans will be without defender Waldo Ponce against Brazil on Monday after he picked up a yellow card in the 20th for kicking Torres.  Buena suerte a nuestros compatriotas chilenos y como siempre que gane el mejor!

Very Refreshing - Paraguay in IN!!!!!

Neither team created much in the way of scoring chances, but Paraguay in IN!  Paraguay substitute Edgar Benitez sent a low shot that was saved by New Zealand goalkeeper Mark Paston in the 76th minute, probably the best chance of the match. 

The Paraguayans also reached the second round at the World Cup in 1986, 1998 and 2002.  Adelante compatriotas de Paraguay, muy buen trabajo y les deseamos lo mejor!  Que gane el mejor!

Italy is OUT!!

Defending champion Italy was eliminated from the World Cup with a humbling 3-2 loss to Slovakia. The italians were last, the first time they've ever finished at the bottom of an opening-round group.

Never have the previous World Cup finalist both failed to advance in the next tournament when both qualified. France, which lost to Italy on penalty kicks for the 2006, went out earlier this week. Italy become desperate in the final 10 minutes - well they did not want to go home. 

Clinton sticking around....

Former President Bill Clinton liked what he saw from the U.S. World Cup team so much, he's staying for the next game. He changed his schedule so he can attend the USA's game against Ghana on Saturday in Rustenburg.  "I lost my voice yesterday, I had to come home and drink hot tea with honey for an hour." Clinton said. "I was very diplomatic until we scored, and then I was up there screaming and yelling with everybody."
But, his primary purpose in Africa is to promote the U.S World Cup bid to FIFA's 24-member executive committee, which will select the 2018 and 2022 hosts in December.  Well done, Mr. Clinton - bring us the World Cup in 2018 - it will be a refreshing change.....

Humiliation now complete for France at World Cup

They were eliminated by South Africa, which became the first World Cup host in 80 years to fail to advance from the first round but ended with a win that at least gave its fans some measure of joy.

Even in Paris, fans who gathered near the Eiffel Tower to watch the match on video screen booed their own team and cheered for South Africa!  France leaves the tournament with a single point, from a 0-0 draw with Uruguay, and a single goal. Worse, it has become the shame of a proud nation.

What happen to the champion team from 1998?  Well, there will always be another world cup and you have 4 years ahead of you to redeem yourself, your nation, your fans...

Bon voyage et esperons vous voir en quatre ans avec les meilleurs joueurs et un meilleur entraineur!  (Good trip and hope to see you in four years with better players and a better coach!)
