Daniel Hernandez might as well earn Man of the Match honors for his excellent performance against Mexico today.

Coming into the match Belgium were number two in the FIFA rankings while many people believed this would be one of the worst Italian teams to ever play at a major tournament. Therefore it’d be fair to assume this would be a pretty straightforward contest with Belgium coming out the victors. Apparently nobody told that […]

The first half was all Ireland. Not only did the Irish get chance after chance against Sweden but they also did a great job of keeping the ball away from Sweden’s most dangerous player, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Irish finally got their breakthrough just after halftime courtesy of Wes Hoolahan. The goal seemed to wake Sweden […]

With the expanded 24 team format one win, or three points, could be enough to get you out of the group stage and into the knockout round. That’s what made the Sweden vs. Republic of Ireland game so intriguing. With the other two teams in this group being Belgium and Italy, this game was probably […]

It took Spain about 10 minutes to get into their opening match at Euro 2016 against the Czech Republic, but once they got into it they looked like they couldn’t be stopped. From about the 11th minute until the final whistle, Spain completely dominated the game. Every time you looked up it looked like either […]

Brazil has no one to blame but themselves for expecting anything different from Dunga

0 comments by

Despite the controversial nature of how Brazil was eliminated from the Copa America Centenario, many Brazilian fans despised the manager, Dunga, for a variety of reasons. The biggest reason, primarily is that Dunga is a defensive minded manager who doesn’t play the “beautiful style” that Brazil and fans are known for. That would be an […]

If Croatia is going to make an impact at this Summer’s EURO competition they’ll need big performances from some of their big names.

There wasn’t much going on in the early going of the USMNT third group game against Paraguay. Both teams got some early chances but nothing really too threatening. But then Gyasi Zardes got some open field on the left flank and Michael Bradley played a perfectly weighted through ball to him. Zardes, who had been […]
