EPL Talk

The United States is out at the Round of 16, losing in extra time to Ghana, but did their play match the final score?  The panel disagrees, discussing that, Uruguay's win over South Korea, and tomorrow's matched:  England-Germany and Argentina-Mexico.  It's all on this edition of the World Cup Buzz Podcast.

Uruguay, Mexico, Argentina and South Korea are through to the knockout stage of World Cup 2010, while South Africa, France, Greece and Nigeria are the first teams sent hope.  To talk about the conclusion of Groups A and B and Wednesday, the final day for Groups C and D, I'm joined by Laurence McKenna and Kartik Krishnaiyer for this edition of the World Cup Buzz Podcast.

​Brazil has clinched a place in the knockout stage,  for which Kaká will be rested, thanks to a one match suspension.  The defending world champion Italy were drawn by New Zealand, while Paraguay sits alone at the top of Group F after their win over Slovakia.  To talk about these matches plus Monday's three fixtures, I was joined by Laurence McKenna and Kartik Krishnaiyer for this edition of the World Cu Buzz Podcast.

​The Netherlands are the first team to have clinched a place in the second round, beating Japan, while Cameroon is the first be eliminated at World Cup 2010 after losing to Denmark.  Also, we discuss Ghana only getting one point from 10-man Australia when myself, Laurence McKenna, and Kartik Krishnaiyer engage in a special edition of the World Cup Buzz Podcast, where we take some time at the end of the show to reflect on how media is coming to grips with the shrinking soccer world.

Was the United States robbed by the referee against Slovenia?  Perhaps, but we were all robbed of a football match from England and Algeria, two results that overshadowed the days' biggest surprise:  the​ Serbian derailing of the Nationalmannschaft.  On this edition of the World Cup Buzz podcast, I'm joined by Laurence McKenna and Kartik Krishnaiyer to talk about Friday's triad of results and the trio of matches awaiting us on Saturday.

Argentina all-but-claimed Group B their own, rolling to a 4-1 victory over the South Koreans.  Greece gets their first win in World Cup history at 10-man Nigeria's expense, while Mexico earns Ireland's most preferred nation status by push France to the proverbial precipice.  Joining me to talk about that is Kartik Krishnaiyer for this edition of the World Cup Buzz Podcast.

Switzerland pulls off the first major upset of the tournament, Chile broke out the Twister and got this party (re-)started, ​while Uruguay's awakening has South Africa on the verge of going dormant.  To talk about these matches as well the matches on Thursday's agenda, I'm joined by Kartik Krishnaiyer and Laurence McKenna for this version of the World Cup Buzz podcast.

Cote d'Ivoire and Portugal made up the marquee match-up on Tuesday, but it was the efforts of New Zealand (against Slovakia) and North Korea (against Brazil) that wrote the stories.  In this edition of the World Cup Buzz podcast, I'm joined by special guest The Gaffer to wrap-up Tuesday's action from South Africa 2010.

Two surprise results highlight the fourth day of action of South Africa 2010.  Joining me to talk about them is co-host Kartik Krishnaiyer as we break down the Netherlands' opening win over Denmark, Japan's first World Cup win away from home (beating Cameroon), and Paraguay drawing with reigning champions Italy.

Germany trounced Australia in their World Open opener.  Ghana because the first Africa team to win, while Slovenia moved to the top of Group C.  On this edition of the World Cup Buzz podcast, myself, Laurence McKenna and Kartik Krishanaiyer review Sunday's action and look for want to Mondays matches while taking time to get an update on Group C.
