The Weekend of Jacko’s Demise
This was the weekend following the death (on Thursday) of Michael Jackson, I was expecting a plethora of Jacko shows, tributes and the like on the TV and they didn’t let me down. On Saturday the weather had a bit of a change, the sky had been grey ...
Confederations Cup – The Final
USA 2 – 3 Brazil The 2009 Confederations Cup Final was fought between unlikely finalists USA and of course the mighty Brazil, Brazil had to be seen as favourites but the USA have shown us not to write them off. The first half wasn’t good for Braz...
Confederations Cup – 2nd Semi Final
The second semi final of the Confed Cup this evening was between Brazil and the host nation South Africa, one would of course expect this to be a fairly comfortable win for Brazil (no offence to South Africa intended) but after last night famous vict...

Confederations Cup – Day Three
Spain 1 – 0 Iraq Today’s afternoon game while I was at work was Spain against Iraq, Spain were very good in their first game while Iraq were pretty damn poor, so a win was expected for Spain. It sounds as though Spain dominated the major part of ...
Confederations Cup – Day Two
Brazil 4 – 3 Egypt The first game of day two of the Confederations Cup was Brazil against Egypt, this game was on during the afternoon while I was at work so I wasn’t able to see it. Despite the fact that Egypt aren’t a bad side I would still h...
Confederations Cup 2009 opening day
Today was the opening day of the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup in South Africa, this is seen as a dress rehearsal for the World Cup in a years time which is also being played in South Africa. It is a tournament between the various champions of the var...
