Confederations Cup draw

1
There was another draw of importance to CONCACAF sides in Johannesburg. Next year's Confederations Cup will have the following two groups:Group ASouth AfricaIraqNew ZealandSpainGroup BItalyBrazilUSAEgyptMy take: This time Bob Bradley's worst fears came true. What incredibly lopsided groups! Group A is a joke, and it will be very difficult for the USA to get out of Group B. Click to continue reading...

Quick takes on the Hexagonal schedule

3
I'll have more to say later, but here are my initial thoughts: Three words. Cold. War. II. Mexico's worst fears came true today. They have to face their archrival away without three of their first-string players. As a matter of fact, the opening three matches could be hellish for Mexico (home to Costa Rica might offer a brief respite). Click to continue reading...

** Updated and bumped **"Now Mexico have something to talk about all week." So said David Suazo after Honduras' 1-0 victory over Mexico.

Honduras 1-0 México Eliminatorias Concacaf Sudafrica 2010 vídeo

Con un autogol de Ricardo Osorio los hondureños ganaron el grupo y se fueron de la mano con los aztecas al hexagonal final de la Concacaf para el Mundial 2010.

México ha pasado de panzaso, el partido pasado por agua, en los bancos dos internacionales un sueco y un colombiano, los ganadores los Hondureños, pobre espectáculo y muchas patadas, aunque usted no lo crea mas por parte de los mexicanos que de los Hondureños en la parte final.

Maradona - We hate you (still)

0
Es para volverse loco. If you had to name the team you think will win the next World Cup, who would it be? I hate to say it but for me, at least on paper, I'd go for Argentina every time... that was until they appointed their new manager. When I clocked the news that Diego Maradona was taking over, I almost wet my strides! Click to continue reading...

Maradona nuevo tecnico de la seleccion ?
Originally uploaded by mathieupauwels Uno de los mejores jugadores de la historia del fútbol vuelve a romper paradigmas y tiene en sus manos el sueño anhelado de decenas de entrenadores en Argentina, ser director técnico de su país.

Aunque a " los especialistas" argentinos les de miedo dar una opinión critica y hablan de lo bueno y positivo que puede ser el nombramiento, también deben de darse cuenta que no es una de las mejores decisiones, por lo menos conlleva muchísimo riesgo y deja muy mal a la profesión de entrenador.

En una entrevista en Despertate (TyC Sports), Valdano explicó que tiene un "respeto máximo hacia Maradona, pero no hizo una tarea de investigación, lo cual es imprescindible para técnicos que aspiran al máximo nivel".

Maradiaga out

Ramón Maradiaga has been dismissed as the national team coach of Guatemala.He said yesterday that his future was in the hands of the national federation, and this afternoon the federation president announced his dismissal, along with the departure of his assistants. It's the end for "El Primitivo", who played in the Honduras team that appeared in the 1982 World Cup finals and was the national team coach for Honduras (1998 and 2002 qualifying cycles) and Guatemala (2006, 2010).

Reflections and press roundup of Matchday 5

After reviewing my predictions for Wednesday's matches, I realized that I got the outcomes of all of the matches correct -- except for Group 1. I should have expected Trinidad & Tobago, with an experienced lineup, to emerge victorious over a young and inexperienced American side, but I didn't know if they could pull it off.

Preview of Semifinal Round Day Five

Group A/1Trinidad & Tobago vs. USA - T&T need to win to maintain second place, while the USA have nothing to play for, although the young players who will take the field have jobs to play for. I see the match ending in a draw.Cuba vs. Guatemala - Guatemala should get the win in Cuba, and then it will all come down to their match with the USA next month. Click to continue reading...

Yes, they have defected

Confirmation of the defection of those two Cuban soccer players comes from Cuban television (via ESPN Deportes). Needless to say, the Cuban government is none too pleased. Oh well.The defection was bound to happen when Cuba were drawn in the same group with the USA. It won't change the result of the group; Cuba are now eliminated and it will be a surprise if they win points against Guatemala and Trinidad & Tobago. Click to continue reading...

After this matchday, as many as five places in the Hexagonal could be decided.

There was an underlying storyline of the USA-Cuba World Cup qualifier: how many Cuban players would defect? According to Steven Goff's blog at the Washington Post, a couple of players -- Reynier Alcantará and Pedro Faife -- have disappeared from the team hotel within the past 48 hours. But according to this Virginia Metro article in the Post, a Cuban official says that those two players are still in Cuba. Click to continue reading...
