After last week's loss to Costa Rica, and assuming that Mexico will somehow get back on it's feet, it is not a given that the U.S. national team will be a part of South Africa 2010. It's true, the U.S. is still in great shape to make it to the world cup, but after Costa Rica's stunning 3-1 win in San Jose, we saw many weaknesses that any other national team in the group can take advantage of. Saturday's game Vs. Honduras, and of course Vs. Mexico in December, will determine if in the summer of 2010 we will calculate our every move away from the screen (Or if you have the dough you will be running between stadiums in SA,) or we'll have to stick to the daily dose of pop culture.
Cheers!

Gili Vermut, is back in Hapoel Tel Aviv, after spending one season in Belgium.
According to Israeli sports websites, Vermut took a significant pay cut to re-sign
with the Reds. Gil Vermut played last year for Gent, but did not get many minutes.

I've already stated before, that it is very hard to be a soccer fan in America. It became much easier since David Beckham joined the LA Galaxy, or even better since he made his debut a
couple of days ago Vs. Chelsea. However, despite the rising popularity of the game here, when I watch the soccer channels I often hear the commentators complain about the Media Circus
surrounding Beckham's arrival. Do you get this? Media Circus. Instead of embracing the moment, and enjoy the new audience you complain. Oh shut up!!! Go get another job.

I have to
admit (with a lot of pain,) the better team won the match. Argentina played great soccer throughout the entire tournament, but when Brazil who showed us sad soccer all along the Copa, see an
Argentinian shirt, everything changes and they actually decide to show up to the game. So congratulations Brazil, you won again, we'll try again soon. More sports and pop culture posts at Amaldo's blog

How to promote an unpopular sport, step by step, by the Los Angeles Galaxy. You got to hand it to the Los Angeles Galaxy. They sure know how to rock the world, literally. So how do you do
it?

The first half went as planed, actually the best Argentinian half of the Copa. And the cherry was the amazing goal. Mexico is probably the strongest team of the tournament other then
Argentina, concentrated mainly on committing annoying fouls and going for dangerous counter attacks here and there.

Yes, Brazil got
to the finales, but in the Dunga way, the ugly way. Argentina has a good chance tomorrow, Vs. Mexico. The three J's: Juan Riquelme, Javier Zanetti, and Juan Veron are the skelaton and Messi, Tevez,
and the rest provide the fine tuning to this surprising team. There is a different spirit then the one of the last Mundial, lets hope Argentina can bring glory days back. Vamos Argentina, Vamos a
ganar!!!

It’s funny, but one of the biggest sports events in the
continent is going almost unnoticed here in the US. The 2007 Copa America in Venezuela is on it’s way. It is the American soccer championship for national teams. By the way, the US also
participated in the tournament, but was kicked out. I root for Argentina. If you are even just a little bit of a soccer fan, you can catch the games on Goltv. Argentina is favorite to win, especially after the Brazilian team didn't show much on the first round.
On Will The U.S. National Team Makes it To The World Cup in 2010?
