FIFA World Cup 2010 Championship Final Match

The FIFA World Cup 2010 championship final match will take place on July 11, with the 3rd place game taking place on July 10. This weekend will end the month-long journey that is the World Cup soccer tournament, which only comes around once every four years.

The championship round will be between the Netherlands and Spain. Germany and Uruguay will play for 3rd place.

The Netherlands was able to take Brazil out of the running, and they were the #1 FIFA ranked team. Spain is #2, although Brazil stole the #1 slot from them before the World Cup began. The Dutch team is on fire, and this could be the year where the Netherlands pulls through and wins the championship for themselves.

Of course, a win by Spain wouldn't be surprising either. Their program is a very strong one and has always been favored to make it to the championship round. If they have their A-Game the day of the championship, then they will easily slip through to the win.

Germany and Uruguay will also be a great match up in the tournament as well. Third place isn't the championship but ending up in the top three out of 32 countries is a great accomplishment for any country.

The US was knocked out in the quarterfinals. No one thought they would make it past that round anyways. However, their program is getting stronger and stronger each year, as the team gains more and more support from the US.

World Cup 2010 Live Soccer Schedule and Brackets

World Cup live soccer continues as the 2010 tournament is nearing completion.  This year's World Cup was unique in that it is the first time that the African continent was able to host the event.  South Africa is the place, and June 11 thru July 11 are the dates.

32 teams started the tournament, and now only 8 remain. The United States has been out of the running, but the hype surrounding the tournament has not died down.

Perhaps the most shocking upset of the 2010 World Cup was Brazil being eliminated before the final round.  Brazil was #1 in the FIFA rankings and was favored to win this year's tournament.  The championship match was estimated to be between Brazil and Spain - the #1 and #2 ranked teams per the FIFA rankings.

The Semi-final rounds take place this week as there are only three matches left in the entire tournament.  Tomorrow, the Netherlands will take on Uruguay.

The Dutch team was responsible for taking out Brazil.  The Netherlands and Uruguay will meet tomorrow at 2:30 PM EDT. 

The next semi-final game will be between Germany and Spain on Wednesday at 2:30 PM EDT.  The winners of each of these games will go on to the championship match where the World Cup 2010 winner will be crowned. 

If we had to make predictions, we'd venture to say that the Netherlands and Spain will meet up during the finals.  Of course at this point Spain is favored to win as they are the highest ranked team, but as we saw with the Netherlands-Brazil game there could be an upset along the way. 

With only four teams left in the bracket, there's a 25% chance of winning for each team.  We are down to the wire, folks with not much left go go.

World Cup 2010 Soccer and Bracket, FIFA Score Updates

The World Cup 2010 soccer match continues, as second round bracket and score updates are available.  The 2010 FIFA World Cup will continue on in the coming weeks, and every match now is one match closer to finding out who is the winner.  Each time someone loses, they are now eliminated from the tourney.

Yesterday's matches included Germany vs England and Argentina vs Mexico.  The final scores for these matches were 4:1 and 3:1, respectively.  This means that England and Mexico will now return home with their shot at the 2010 World Cup Tile over.

Today's matches include: Netherlands vs Slovakia and Brazil vs Chile.

It's expected that Brazil will win, but can you imagine if that is not the case? The upset will be a big deal in the world of soccer, as they are currently the #1 seeded team and the team that will host the 2014 event.  I think that the Dutch will have an edge over Slovakia.

Tomorrow, Paraguay will take on Japan and Spain vs. Portugal will take place.  Spain is ranked #2, and going into the World Cup, a Brazil vs Spain final was predicted.  The likelihood of that match taking place is quite slim, if the World Cup is anything like the NCAA March Madness.

It's sad that the World Cup only happens once every four years.  It's a multinational deal, and it's one of the most widely watched tournaments that there is.  It's one of world news' best sporting events, second only to the Olympics in my opinion.

World Cup 2010 Bracket and Score Updates

The World Cup 2010 bracket and score updates are crucial to World Cup 2010 viewers.  The brackets become more and more important starting tomorrow, when we go to the second round where 16 of the 32 countries competing for the title will continue on for their quest for the title.

Today's matches included: Portugal vs Brazil, North Korea vs Ivory Coast, and Chile vs Spain and Switzerland vs Honduras.

Portugal vs Brazil ended in a draw, and the Ivory Coast beat North Korea 3:0.  Spain is leading by one point over Chile, and so far Switzerland and Honduras is in a draw.  Two matches are still in play.

Tomorrow's matches begin what is called the "Round of 16."  The first matches include:

Uruguay vs South Korea and Germany vs England.  These two matches occur at 10:00 AM EDT - one on Saturday and one on Sunday. The  US vs Ghana and Argentina vs Mexico takes place matches will occur at 2:30 PM EDT - one on Saturday one on Sunday.

The losers in these matches will be eliminated from the running towards the title.  After the Round of 16 is over, the round of eight will commence.  This will bring us to the semi-finals and then the final round.

Whether or not Brazil will make it into the semi-finals has yet to be seen. There have been some strange performances by the #1 ranked team.  They barely won against North Korea and they most recently had a draw.  We need stronger performances than this to guarantee the win.
