  • WWC 2015: Poor, poor ecuador. Group E and F preview

    Friday started off with Australia vs Nigeria. The Aussies opened the scoring with a very well taken goal from Simon after de Vanna had a long run before passing it off.

  • WWC 2015: War Elephants are the best Elephants! Group C and D preview

    Thursday’s action started with Germany and Norway, I didn’t see much of it, but the result is definitely a surprise, 1-1, good for Norway and a very nice equaliser direct from a free kick.

  • MLS Wins and Losses: Week 13

    In the words of noted student of the game Gregory J Vanney, MLS is all about streaks and that’s the theme running right through this week’s results in another busy week for MLS that saw pretty much all the Eastern Conference playoff contenders shit the bed and Baldomero Toledo really get his game going for…
