Fifa World Cup news & features
Hosting FIFA World Cup 2010 on South Africa doesn’t look good with delayed stadium constructions, crimes, poor department executions, etc.
The recent mishandling of the Visa of Brazilian coach Carlos Parreira and assistant Jairo Lopes Cesar Leal might result in criminal charges against them for working in South Africa without the necessary permit aside from their tourist status.
Russian billionaire is giving out $40 million for his country’s national football team which I doubt would go far enough to making his country a force to reckon in world competitions. Chelsea reached the top of the league through the money of Abramovich but we are talking about a huge amount. The money given to Russian football is just the price of a star player in Chelsea.
For political, social and patriot reasons, I salute Abramovich.

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.
A lot of David Beckham’s fans were sad when he stepped down as captain of England following their World Cup exit, but it turned out to be a sub-conscious guard mechanism to lessen the pain for a future axing from the captaincy.
England has been an underachiever for as long as people could remember and David Beckham’s popularity is all that’s left of their image and success, whose loser status in footballing world was cemented by their early exit once again, so as the future of David Beckham on England.
Alex Ferguson has resigned from the position long ago and stated that the World Cup would be his last assignment for the country, and this is an indication that a revamp will follow soon after, including David Beckham who will most likely be stripped of his role; but little did people know that he’s leadership role is not only in danger but also his membership with the club.
Reprimanded for drunken and disorderly behavior back in September 2001 and charged on assaulting a nightclub bouncer in 2002, the immature and irresponsible John Terry grew into a fine man and good leader as the captain of Chelsea since 2003 leading them to back-to-back Premier League titles.
Very young at 25 years old, John is an excellent choice of McClaren for having the experience, leadership characteristics, responsibility and technical skills to lead England in successive years. He will develop and become more valuable for England and for the future of the team.
Dunga remained true to his word that local players shall be given a chance for a slot on Brazil National Team which was traditionally reserved for European players by leaving out Ronaldinho, Adriano, Kaka and Ronaldo, Cafu and Emerson; the only players chosen from World Cup 2006 squad were Cicinho, Fred, Gilberto, Gilberto Silva, Juan, Lucio, Luisao and Robinho.
Brazil’s loss to France in the World Cup 2006 was a surprise to majority of the people, which prompted a series of write-ups criticizing Carlos Alberto Parreira’s boring style of play, opposite what Brazil has been known for — exciting, offensive-minded-plays, highly technical soccer.
Brazilian style was lacking in this year’s tournament that did not allow even the World’s number one Footballer, Ronaldinho, to shine. The media pressure including everyone shouting for change prompted for the resignation of Parreira, but brought surprise to the world when Dunga, a tough defensive midfielder and captain of Brazil when they won World Cup in 1994, was chosen instead of Vanderlei Luxemburgo or Paulo Autuori who are both experienced and well known.
The US women’s division is a very strong unit expected to perform very well in the upcoming Women’s U-20 championships in Russia this coming August, hoping to bring some sanity to football reputation in their country whose Men’s division brought so much shame in the recent FIFA World Cup 2006.
The U.S. team is looked poised for a proud performance following their focused training for several months in California, series of friendly competitions against top squads, a total of around 50 games since January, and were the U-19 world champions in 2002.
