There were 4 great games on the weekend that provided us with some fantastic action. Now we’re down to only four teams and two games over the next two days. We just published another Pink Shirt Wise Guys podcast, so you’ll be able to get a recap of the key points from the past matches and [...]   We’re into the knockout rounds now and today the goalkeepers saw more balls than a neuter clinic (yes, that could have been dirtier, this is a reputable website…sort of). Given that offensive display, it’s time we took at look at which forwards are in the best vein of form so far in South Africa. I put [...]  Here is the live blog I did on the Italy-Slovakia match for Bleacher Report this morning. Crazy final 30 minutes but ultimately the defending world champs are out. Ciao, I’m Ryan and I’ll be your live blogger for the Italy-Slovakia match. Hopefully I can provide some insight for you throughout the game, especially for those that [...]  Team USA scored a dramatic injury-time goal to move on from Group C today. Reporters and analysts alike are praising Landon Donovan’s finish, Michael Bradley’s control of midfield and Jozy Altidore’s ability to be a mismatch for Algeria’s defenders. All three of these players made their mark, and Clint Dempsey also played extremely well until [...] We recorded another podcast last night after a disastrous result for Italy vs New Zealand. Here’s the synopsis: In this desperate Pink shirt Wise Guys Podcast, Pete and Pops hit the panic button and plead for Marcello Lippi to smooth out the Azzurri’s scoring woes. The podcast provides many stats to prove that the offensive strategy of [...]  With England getting ready to put their World Cup hopes on the line against Slovenia, they are obviously searching for answers in their squad selection. Especially after scoring only 1 goal in two games against the USA and Algeria, they need a spark more than ever. While many people are content to criticize the pairing of [...]  Just like yesterday, I did a live blog for Bleacher Report on the Argentina-S.Korea game. Take a read below if you missed the game, or just want to see if I know what I’m talking about. Here’s the live blog I did for Bleacher Report this morning on the game. It’s in reverse order, so should be read from the bottom up.
 For most of us soccer fans, this week kicks off a few weeks of pure joy. For those that are more casual fans, the beginning of the tournament can be a little overwhelming if you’re not familiar with the teams or the players. If you’re just now getting into the hype or just want more info [...]  Ever since the World Cup in 2006, there has only ever been one name I would have had stitched only my Italy jersey. Most people would naturally assume that name would be Andrea Pirlo, Gianluigi Buffon, Alessandro Del Piero or Fabio Cannavaro for their outstanding performances. Some Italians would undoubtedly have Francesco Totti’s name adorning the [...] Today we published the first of our Pink Shirt Wise Guys: World Cup Preview podcasts. You can list to them from the page here at Sports Opinionated, find it on iTunes or on Podbean. The first episode reviews Group A & B, and we’ll review two groups a week leading up to the World Cup.  Marcello Lippi is relying on old and past prime players for his Italy squad instead of bringing youth and the talent of Fabrizio Miccoli and Antonio [...] Today was the group draw for the FIFA 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Fans from all over the world watch to see who their team will play in the group stages and hope they get a little luck to go with all their hard work in qualification. The groups drawn were: Group A – South Africa, [...] The World Cup, much like the Olympics, is meant to be a pinnacle of the sporting world. Countries pin their hopes and wishes on their team, hoping to ride an emotional wave of pride and euphoria to a title.
