The incredible, at the start of the World Cup, is real: Brazil is out in the last 8. More, France, the team nobody would bet on is actually alive and playing a heck-of-a-game.
So, the semi-finals are:
Germany - Italy
Portugal - France
The World Cup will remain in Europe this time.
One more thing: France really deserved to win […]

I enjoy Thierry Henry more than any other player in the World, but I root for Brazil to win the World Cup. I really do not know who to be happy for.
Anyway, Henry scored from a freekick by Zidane. The goal was coming and Brazil is not playing any football at all. Zidane is playing […]

A nice game, good to watch, with a lot of fighting and tactis. The most distrubing thing about the match is, though, the fact that Brazil has 0 (ZERO) shots on goal in the entire first 45 minutes.

Ronaldo overtook Gerd Muller record and already scored 15 times in World Cups.

After overtaking Gerd Muller as the tournament’s most prolific marksman, Ronaldo made it abundantly clear that - while delighted by his achievement - his appetite for goals had merely been whetted.
He said: “The record is the culmination of many years of hard […]

Who are the contenders for the Golden Shoe this year? Will it be Klose, Crespo, Ronaldo or another one that no one expects?

Having hit an impressive five goals at his first FIFA World Cup finals back in 2002, Germany striker Miroslav Klose has picked up where he left off in Korea/Japan. The Werder Bremen striker […]

What did you think about the game?
I thought that Ghana weren’t scared of Brazil. I am sorry that Michael Essien didn’t play for Ghana today. When you play a great team like Brazil, you have to capitalise upon the very few […]

Of course, by now everybody knows Ronaldo is the best striker in World Cups ever. But his record is not the only milestone for Brazil.

Adriano’s goal, which made it 2-0, was Brazil’s 200th in FIFA World Cups. The 100th was scored by none other than Pele, the magnificent header against Italy in the 1970 Final […]

Though Brazil qualified without problems to the third stage of the World Cup, midfielder Gilberto Silva thinks they need to play a lot better if they want to win the World Cup.

“Overall I think we played a pretty good game, but Ghana did not make it easy for us,” he said. “They did not sit […]

Brazil is starting to show what they are made of, but Ghana will leave a good impression on everyone’s mind.

ZE ROBERTO (BRA), Budweiser Man of the Match
It’s an amazing feeling to have scored my first ever World Cup goal. I’m also really pleased to have been chosen as Man of the Match for the second […]

Coaches were very calm. Everything is going to plan for Brazil, while Ghana had the performance of a lifetime.

Carlos Alberto PARREIRA (BRA)
We knew that the game wouldn’t be easy, and so it proved. The scoreline was deceptive, because it was a very difficult match. Our big problem was that our passing went astray. We played […]
