World Cup Give Away #7

The wait for the game to start can be tedious. And tense. What you need is a diversion. How's about a game of cards? I have for this give away a set of Mexico Playing Cards, by Nokia, from the last World Cup in Germany, 2006. Still in the plastic wrapper! Never touched. I picked … Continue reading World Cup Give Away #7 →

Mexico v Chile

I'd picked out Chile as a force to be reckoned with at the World Cup in an earlier post, and despite yesterday's slightly lame showing I'm going to stick with that tip. Friendlies just aren't the same thing as a competitive World Cup game. I'm not the only one who thinks so, mind you. Tim Vickery … Continue reading Mexico v Chile →

Bam Bam Thank You….Mexico

Mexico's official World Cup tune is out. And in the tradition of most World Cup team songs, it's pretty crap. Maybe you think different. Maybe I should have watched it to the very end, and then I wouldn't have missed the good bit. Press play below and let me know. It could be worse, I … Continue reading Bam Bam Thank You….Mexico →

World Cup Give Away #3

Here's the latest freebie that I'm giving away to one lucky person. The official Mexico edition guide to the World Cup in South Africa. A whopping 192 pages of info, history and more on the big event. Lots of details on all the teams too, including this rather odd photo of the Ghana team. There's … Continue reading World Cup Give Away #3 →

Dreamers

Last night Mexico played one of their World Cup warm ups, against non qualifiers Ecuador. Yawn. There wasn't much to give Mexican fans any great hopes of success in South Africa. It was a tepid, dreary affair. If any Manchester United fans were watching, I dare say they'd have been less than impressed with their … Continue reading Dreamers →

The Dark Horses

Just 38 days and counting. Won't be long now. But still, I'm going to hold off from making my definitive predictions for a while longer. Maybe till the eve of the big kick off. But I have been analysing the teams, the groups, the possible quarter finalists and beyond. I feel ready to split the … Continue reading The Dark Horses →
