We’re back, in case you hadn’t already noticed. Sure we hit a few bumps in the road, most noticeably against the USA and South Africa in the Confederations Cup as well as a few unconvincing victories of late but you really didn’t think that was going to last long did you? Well if [...]

It’s been a while. A while since I’ve wrote a post on this blog and a while since us supporters of La Furia Roja have been privileged enough to see our boys in action. No worries though ladies and gentlemen because not only am I back, but so is Del Bosque and co. [...]

Sorry for the delay on this but I was on vacation and really didn’t have much access to the blog. But like they say, better late than never – here it goes.
Despite not being able to write anything about the match, I definitely did watch it and although it was only the consolation match [...]

It’s been a day and half since our shock exit from the Confederations Cup to the hands of the US. Now sure, the United States have a history of fighting for everything they wanted, from their independence from the British to helping Kuwait in the Gulf War against Iraq and more recently to liberating [...]

With our 2-0 victory we set an international footballing record with 15 consecutive wins and also equal Brazil’s record for 35 matches unbeaten. The loss for Bafana Bafana though wasn’t too hard to swallow as they still progress alongside us into the semifinals.
Vicente del Bosque employed a slightly different lineup as he chose to [...]

We don’t have much to play for except our pride and to set some impressive records but South Africa on the other hand has it all to play for. We have already qualified for the semifinals with 6 points from our first 2 games while South Africa need a win against us mighty Spaniards [...]

I don’t want to use any cheesy war jokes but I find Iraq such an interesting nation, no one can knock their fighting spirit. You know how America has been bombing the shit out of them for the past 7 years but still can’t win? Well we did one better – we dominated [...]

After smashing New Zealand 5-0 on Sunday we now focus on our second opponent – Asian Cup Champions, Iraq. Unlike us, Iraq got their campaign off to a slow start after their boring 0-0 draw with hosts South Africa.
Fernando Torres was the man of the match against the Kiwi’s and had a treble of [...]

We gave all South Africans something to be excited about after their side was held to a stalemate with Iraq in what was an extremely boring match. We however pulled off as expected, an emphatic victory over the Oceanic champions from New Zealand.
The match was over after 17 minutes as El Niño scored a [...]

It’s the moment every football fan has been waiting for – the start of the 2009 Confederations Cup. We kick things off today against Oceania champions New Zealand in Rustenburg, South Africa. Going in as European Champions and the number one team overall in the world, obviously high expectations are going to imposed [...]
