World Cup – Final

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Now that Argentina and USA are out of the World Cup iSource Digital has turned to less conventional means of deciding who to cheer for in the Final. A German Octopus has predicted the last four games correctly, Germany over Argentina, Germany over England, Serbia over Germany and Spain over Germany.

Drum roll please! The Great Octo-picker’s choice for the final game is in and the winner will be: Spain! As for the third place game the Octo-picker used its great powers to push for its nation’s team, Germany to beat Uruguay.

So, there you have it, folks! Spain and Germany will be the victors for first and third place, and if not Mr. Octo-Picker has some major explaining to do!

World Cup Recap 4

Monday, June 28th, 2010

This weekend was bittersweet for iSource Digital. With the USA being ousted by Ghana we turn to our other favorite team, Argentina. Winning in convincing fashion yet again, it looks as though Argentina is still an obvious favorite to win the Cup.

Argentina had their first and third goals scored by young superstar, Carlos Tevez. Their second goal was scored by Gonzalo Higuain, making him the leading scorer in the 2010 World Cup thus far.

Argentina will face Germany, a very formidable opponent, on Saturday. Argentina’s high flying offense will look to continue working its magic against Germany’s physical defense.

With Brazil on the opposite side of the bracket it is exciting to look forward to the final, which is looking more and more like it could be Brazil vs. Argentina.

Go Argentina!

Let us know who your favorite team is now that USA is out in the “comments” section below.

World Cup Recap #3

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

We have advanced to the round of 16! The World Cup TrophyArgentina, as expected, advanced to the round of 16, while the United States had to fight for 90 hard minutes before they scored the goal that would advance them to the next round.
After a lot of defense and missed opportunities, Argentina took form, scoring two goals in the last 15 minutes against Greece. It is amazing that Argentina is handling opponents so easily and still hasn’t had a goal from their star, Lionel Messi. Messi hasn’t disappointed, though his presence wreaks havoc on opponent’s defense, with two and even three defenders marking him at all times the rest of the field is left wide open. It will be interesting to see what Mexico will do against this team’s crazy offense.
The United States nearly missed the next round in heart breaking fashion. Having yet another goal called back early in the first half, it seemed as though the U.S. were going to end in a draw and not advance, but out of nowhere, Landon Donovan saved the day! (more…)

World Cup Recap #2

Friday, June 18th, 2010

I’m still trying to figure out what the call was on that third US goal! I know the Argentina game played yesterday and you all want updates on that, but come on how terrible was the officiating of the USA game?!

Not only did we have a goal called back, but we also had Findley get his second yellow card of the tourney, forcing him to sit the next game. The yellow card was on an alleged hand ball in the box, but the ball hit him in the face, not hand! (more…)

The first game of the Cup featured South Africa versus Mexico, with South Africa scoring the first goal of the event. It was a thrill to watch the host country celebrate the first goal. Although South Africa had the fans and momentum, the game ended in a 1-1 draw. (more…)
