Vamos Vamos Argentina…though the way it's looking they may not even get in. Maradona might have to hang with the pope again.

The Confederation cup semifinal game between USA and Spain, which was played today, was exciting to watch. Brazil - South Africa is tomorrow.

Watch the UEFA U21 tourney. Germany, Italy, Brazil, and Sweden are in the semi finals on Friday. So far the soccer has been very good.

As for 2010, it's hard to tell. There are a lot of young players moving into the first teams.

Looks like the Czechs won't be in unless they pull off a miracle. As long as Italy, France or Portugal doesn't win, Im happy.

I predict there will be a lot of ball-kicking and flopping to the ground for no reason while pretending to cry.

The Brazil - SA game today was most excellent. It could have gone either way.
