Passionate Fan on Fifa World Cup 2010

U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati is lying about his need of Pekerman to coach US simply because he could not get Klinsmann to sign easily for their team after his successful transformation of German football. The poll I ran a while back indicated people want to see Klinsmann coach USA but apparently it doesn’t make any sense for him to try to build a team from a disoriented system.

We run a poll on the finals of the FIFA U-2o Women’s World Championship. The question run was Who’ll play in the Women’s World Championship Finals in Russia 2006?

The choice of answers were: Brazil vs China, Brazil vs USA, Korea DPR vs China PR, Korea DPR vs USA

The Poll results are as follows:

The loss of Brazil in FIFA World Cup Germany prompted for the replacement of Parreira by Dunga which signaled the start of a different approach for the national team in preparation for FIFA World Cup in South Africa in 2010.

What is the new work ethic of Dunga?

There is no star status in the team. Yes, Dunga made it clear that superstar names would not have any special treatment whatsoever and everyone is given the chance to prove themselves. Ronaldinho who played poorly in the FIFA World Cup took the loss a little too hard and had it not been for his celebrity name he should have spent time on the bench because of his poor playing. Ronaldinho admits to follow the new work ethic of the team:

No one expected an all Asian finals in FIFA U-20 Women’s World Championship, furthermore, no one expected a Korea DPR title. Korea did not only win the finals but did it in a dominating approach finishing with a score of 5-0 where the first three came in the first half shocking the favorite team.

The loss of US Women’s World Championship became a redemption to Brazil in some way after their country lost in FIFA World Cup in Germany.

US controlled most of the game and looked like they will win a podium finish but Barbara of Brazil showed toughness in stopping goals all the way to the penalty shootout that helped them secure third place.

I wrote about the US Girls Football Team far from being pathetic as their boys, and true enough despite of their loss against Brazil in the battle for third place they still are way ahead of the men’s football team. It’s sorry to see them bow out without even winning the third prize award but the way they played proves a lot of their skill and potential going forward.
