Panama Take On USA in Copa Oro Quarters

Familiar Foes

La Marea Roja once again meet the USA in the Gold Cup knockout stages, having been defeated by their Northern neighbors in the 2005 final, and once again in the 2007 quarters. It certainly won’t be an easy task for the Americans, as Panama has played well over the course of the tournament, losing narrowly to Guadeloupe despite dominating the final stages, battling Mexico (literally) to a draw, and crushing Nicaragua. This performance makes our World Cup failure even more tough to take, as surely Panama could have done some damage in the final round. But alas.

While this US team is young, they are dangerous, with the likes of Holden, Rogers and even Davy Arnaud turning in some good performances. I am going to go ahead and predict the upset however. Blas Perez will get the first, and with the US pushing to find an equalizer, Tejada will get the second, for a 2-0 upset.

Anyone else have predictions?

Highlights

Panama 4 Nicaragua 0

Guadeloupe 2 Panama 1

So first off, my apologies. I completely and utterly forgot I had this blog until today….and Panama is already eliminated from qualifying for WC2010!! Gutted really that I didn’t even have a chance to preview the campaign at all, or write any match reports (although they weren’t pretty, believe me).
The long and short of it is in the many layered ... [read more]

Manfield Town Are The Future

It's going to be impossible to do this without referencing Radiohead's album In Rainbows, which has sort of paved the mainstream way for "pay what you want" retail.

Robinho's Second Santos Debut, and Neymar's Paradinha Penalty

Robinho didn't disappoint on his second Santos debut, coming off the bench to score a Zola-esque near post flick of a winner vs São Paulo. Whatever you might think of the man who rides the Pelécopter, it's good to see such an entertaining footballer looking happy again. But don't worry, there's ...

Soccer and the Super Bowl, or: Football vs Football, or: Why Can't We All Just Get Along?

As I'm sure most of our American readers will know, today is Super Bowl XLIV (or Super Bowl 44, if you don't speak Roman numeral). Super Bowl Sunday is an easy excuse for us soccer fans to indulge ourselves by bashing the "other" football, reminding fans of said sport that ...
