Yesterday was the final day of qualifying for next summer’s World Cup in South Africa. There were six bids on the line and there were some hotly contested matches. None were more controversial than the Ireland-France game that ended in overtime after Thierry Henry’s blatant handball that led to William Gallas’ winner. In fact, it [...]

Occasionally here at WaB we get emails promoting certain websites or requesting links and sometimes we act on them. This is one of those times.
A while back I got an email from one of the guys at Soccerpro.com. Being the huge soccer fan that I am, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try and [...]

Bryan and I were both out of town for Fourth of July weekend and weren’t on the internet at all. There were some pretty big things that happened in the world of sports that we feel should be mentioned but didn’t have the opportunity to write full posts on. I’ll just give a quick one [...]

I really don’t want to write this because I’m still frustrated about the second half of that game. The Americans seem to either play brilliantly (see, Spain and Egypt) or fall flat on their faces (see, Costa Rice, Brazil, Italy). Today, they managed to do both.

Going into yesterday’s matches at the Confederations Cup, I definitely did not expect to be writing this as a headline.
