There is a reason why there is no good movie about football. How could a human being possibly pack so many emotions into 90 minutes?
I was going to see the Ghana – Uruguay game in a local seafood restaurant in Johannesburg. Before I ordered, several waitresses told me how important this game is for Africa. [...]

In theory Spain is the most likely to win the cup. But are they strong enough to beat German favorite killers? Can Uruguay beat Netherlands and make it to the final? Games
Boring so far Paraguay played the best game during this tournament. Surprised Spaniards for long time couldn’t build action. Moreover in the first half Paraguay scored a goal which was controversially disallowed by the ref. But what has happend in the second half was a thriller.Paraguay got penalty after stupid foul of Pique over Oscar Cardozo. [...] Games
German cheerleader Angela Merkel Don't cry for me Argentina Diego Maradona exposed, Argentina humiliated. Diego’s motivation skills couldn’t help against Loew masterplan and fantastic form of young German side. Messi and Tevez were like drunk kids in the fog. The player of the game was Schweinsteiger but he didn’t even scored. 2 goals by Klose, [...] Games
Everything else but clear Spain win would be sensation. Paraguay plays the most boring football during this tournament and is very painful to watch. The only questions are: if not in-form Torres will be replaced by Llorente who played very well against Chile and how long Fabregas will accept his bench role. Games
Only German oracle octopus Paul knows who could win this game. The chances are 50-50. Both teams played very good so far. Surprisingly defense seems to be Achilles heel of both teams. Argentina’s creative supertrio Messi, Tevez, Higuain could seriously damage slow and big German back four. From the other side young German midfielders will [...] Games
Time to stop make fun of Forlan’s haircut, so far he is MVP of this World Cup.
Urguayan goalie Muslera thanks his bar for help after Gyan penalty. Muslera saved another two penatlies during shoot out.
Suarez, hero for Uruguay. Gyan made long way from hero to zero just in one second.

Unbelievable Classic game. In the first half there was no one who could even think that something wrong could happen to Brazil. Robinho scored goal very fast and Brazil wasted chance after chance. In the second half Dutch didn’t make any change which was surprising and it looked like Dutch team will go under knife. But [...] Games
Uruguay is clear favorite. They have the best defense from all teams, reliable midfield and world class attacking trio that need half chance to scored 2 goals. But Ghana is supported by all Africa and the rest of the world. BaGhana BaGhana, that’s new name that South African supporters made for Black Stars. They are strong, [...] Games
Here we go again, Brazil vs Netherlands, the most expected moment of every Mundial. Two beauties – football catfight, no fan can miss it. Two beauties may be a bit older and more reasonable but you can still see their charm when they play. Dunga’s team can be accused for anything but not for playing traditional [...] |
 Aleksander Korab works as content director at Metro, the world's biggest daily newspaper. He decided to fulfill his childhood dream of running with the football journalists at the 2010 World Cup. Much to the dismay of his wife, and as part of a premature midlife crisis, Alek plans to shave his hair, grow a beard and spend a month in South Africa watching games, drinking beer with local fans, generally hanging around and of course sharing the resulting insights into life, death and, much more importantly, football!  |
