soccer
my sports quote of the week…. ‘We like Arsenal because they play nice football’ more here **** Meanwhile seems that Kenyan soccer woes are international news. I came across this story on soccernet.com Apparently guys want Kenya banned from international competitions thanks to the power plays corruption etc.. that has bedevilled the kenyan soccer scene..

Zidane must have simply forgotten where the ball was.. Perhaps it was in an alternate reality Based on their performance throughout the tournament (except the USA game) Italy deserved to win the Cup. France did really well, especially in the final. Henry didn’t score as i expected.. but the italian defence was superb. My starting [...]

Italy vs France
This is about the hardest to call.. Based on each teams road to the final, on paper, Italy look like they could win it. They also have the advantage of having a days rest. However, this is Zidane’s last World Cup game, his last International Game, and what better way to end one’s carrier than [...]

But 100% correct predictions for the SEMIS for me.. [...]

Germany vs Italy
On paper, it is not my idea of an interesting match. However, Germany with Klinsmann as Coach have rediscovered how to play exciting and attacking soccer. I doubt they’ll play this way against the Italians, who are quite content to sit back and hit on the break. Considering that the only goal that they’ve let [...]

Germany vs Argentina This is tricky to predict. Germany have been improving every game, but so have Argentina. Germany have not met any real world class competition since the tournament started. Argentina on the other hand have met Netherlands, Ivory Coast (it’s their first time but i think they are world class), and their 6-0 [...]

world cup crazy
interesting to watch people during the world cup season.. I thought Kenyans were the real soccer fans considering how loyal they are to their non-kenyan teams. However, they are way behind on the scale of soccer fanatics – England (and the rest of the UK) must be top of the list currently. I wonder which [...]
