Mongoose

The day that Shevchenko makes it to a world cup was a day that was never to come. The young Prince fought and fought and goal after goal he lifted his second family A.C. Milan to amazing finishes and sure footed titles.
Now! Today! This Prince has brought his countrymen to the heights of his adopted country, Italy. Yes the war has been difficult and Sheva himself has not won every battle, but his ability to step up and say, "I'm first" in the PK lineup shows his team that there is strength in their Prince. That gives this Cinderella Team the courage to "Burn Rome Down!"
The Ukraine is living the dream and the Azzuri is the Big Blue Blob that takes no form in their game but to stand backward and absorb attacks. It will try to suck the life out of the Sheva's band of silver laced Rosicky styled attackers. Sheva's band attacks with lite feet and lite weapons, the Prince himself sports a medium sword that can split an apple with utter precision.
How does this Fairy Tale end? Sheva and his merry men dance into the next round and the evil Blue Azzuri is vanquished.

The Azzurri cannot lose to these minnows, new-comers Ukraine. Coming off two indifferent performances against the US and Australia, if the Italians do lose to Shevchenko’s side, will anybody be able to sympathize with their continual whining and ill-luck?—yet, if the tides have turned again. Gifted with a touch of fortune—Grosso’s penalty—and a strong showing in the opening game against Ghana—it will be a return to the glory days for the Azzurri?

The German striking duo of Klose and Podolski has definitely matured since their scoring hiccups against Poland in the group stages of Germany 2006. But one would venture to remind soccer fanatics that Germany has yet to face a difficult match—even Sweden looking far too under-par and ordinary to press for honors. It is a shame that this game against Argentina couldn’t be the Final because the Germans might then feel well-represented when they lose to Crespo and Co. in Berlin.

I can’t believe that it has already been two days of no games…the last 2 days have been an eternity--much longer than the prior 2 ½ weeks of games…yes the Mongoose and my own predictions were not spot on in the group stages, but Mongoose came through much better in the Round of Sixteen with Portugal (his only miss pick to make it into the Quarter-Finals)…Mongoose was actually only 1 better than me as I though that Spain surely had enough to make it past France, but not to be…I can’t wait until tomorrow…let the games begin again…

Oh, how the great and mighty may fall...
Will Ghana provide the biggest upset today? Will Ronaldo be sent home to devour more dumplings? Of Coarse, Brazil are the favorites in this one, but even favorites sometimes fail...just ask the Czech Republic.

Well, my group stage picks were abysmal, but with the final 16 uh scratch that 15 picked. Germany just dismantled Sweden. The final 7 round of 16 games will go like this.
England vs. Ecuador = England. For some reason though Ecuador could squeak it.
Argentina vs. Mexico = Argentina
Portugal vs. Netherlands = Netherlands
Italy vs. Australia = Italy
Brazil vs. Ghana = Brazil
Switzerland vs. Ukraine = Ukraine
Spain vs. France = France
If you think something different, You are wrong first. Second tell me about it. Write back a comment or two.
Dagger, do you think anyone knows better then me?

Show me, show me your bite you big dogs of soccer. I have dreamed of this day of having strike forces like yours. Please deploy and employ these great guns up top.
Brazil, why is your game so slow? France, in front of goal is a no go. Please Brazil let your ginga flow. While France your minds is your biggest foe. Both these teams need to forget their opponents and just bite down. Bite down as hard as they can, regardless if it is a piece of wood or would be opponent.
Clean up yourselves and shower in the glory that could be yours Big Dogs. Hooowwwwwllllll.

Unlike the rest of his team who play for European clubs, Carlos Tevez plays in Brazil. Of course Brazilian clubs cannot afford to pay players as well as in Europe, so second jobs are not uncommon.
For Carlitos, that is what they call him in Brazil, street fighting would be a great second career choice. To watch him ply his trade you would have to go to the deepest, darkest parts of Sao Paolo. This is a pure suggestion from the Mongoose, but can't you see him on a hot, humid Saturday night in a secluded dirt arena, lit by torches. Rampant betting goes on seconds before Carlitos "The Man-Child" Tevez takes on his newest and overconfident opponent. The contest lasts no longer then 6 seconds, before "The Man-Child" unleashes his signature bite move and finishes the contest.
Not bad in a nights work, an extra 50 Reis in his pocket and a game to play with Corinthians tomorrow.
Just joking with one of the best players to show at World Cup 06.

Unless my little animal brain is wrong, Brian McBride receives some type of head trauma every other game. Well be glad you are playing with him, because that means the bad luck is not coming your way.
Thanks Brian for taking it for the team!
