Knockout Stage

In the World Cup's Knockout Stage there are good matches. Later today Ghana faces America. I have the U.S. winning 2-1. Jozy Altidore and Hercules Gomez will have a goal. It will be an exciting game. Tomorrow England plays Germany. I have England winning 1-0 over Germany. Chile and Brazil will also face-off. I have Brazil winning 4-1. They are just too explosive. In the biggest match of the Cup I have Portugal beating Spain 3-2. It will be huge. Ronaldo will have a goal and have South Africa rocking.

Streak

Tonight the Dodgers play the Yankees for the first time in six years! It is in LA. It's weird how Torre has never visit the new Yankee Stadium. The Dodgers are on a losing streak. It has been about 7 games since they won. The Yankees are doing well, though. I have my Dodgers winning 4-2. Manny will have a good game and go 2-4. Texeira will do well throughout the series. In the end Kemp will be huge. All the stars will be out tonight watching the Dodgers and Yankees.

Going On

There were a lot of things going on in this two day stretch. First the U.S. beat Algeria 1-0 after Donovan scored a goal in stoppage time. There also was an 11:05 tennis match. John Isner won in 5 sets v.s. Nicholas Mahut. The last set was 70-68! Today was the NBA Draft. John Wall got picked first, Evan Turner 2nd, Derrick Favors 3rd, Wesley Johnson 4th, and Demarcus Cousains 5th. Greg Monroe got picked 7th and went to the Pistons. Patrick Patterson got picked 14th. He was the first senior to get picked.

Win and You're In

Earlier today, Uruguay beat Mexico 1-0. Uruguay won Group A. South Africa beat France. Mexico and RSA both had 4 points but Mexico won the goal differential. South Africa is the first team to lose in group play when hosting the World Cup. At least they ended on a good note. Tomorrow the U.S. and Algeria play. I have the U.S. winning 2-0. That will give them 5 points. I have England beating Slovenia 2-1. The U.S. and England will move on. America will win the group over England because the goal differential.

LA vs Boston

There has been a couple of series with the Boston and LA teams this week. And I was wondering which city is better in sports. The Lakers have 15 Titles but the Celtics have 18.
BOSTON 1 LA 0
LA has the edge with colleges. USC and UCLA take it with Water Polo and Football. Hockey goes to Boston but LA still has basketball, baseball, softball, and cross country.
BOSTON 1 LA 1
For the winning point... better players. LA has Kobe, Jabar, Magic, Jackie Robinson, Reggie Jackson, and Chamberlan. Boston has Bird, Russell, Garnett, Pierce, Allen, and Brady. I have to go with LA. The colleges are the game changer. I mean you have the titles and they produce players.
BOSTON 1 LA 2

Winner Takes All

Tonight is game 7 of the NBA Finals. Winner takes all. Gasol will have to be a playmaker. Allen will be hot from 3 point land. Kendrick Perkins has a knee injury so he won't be 100%. Garnett and Artest will both have big games. In the end I have the Celtics winning it 95-93. It is for all the marbles, the whole enchilada!

All the Marbles

Tonight the Celtics visit L.A. Analysis have been talking about which position you'd rather be in: The Lakers down 2-3 but at home or the Celtics away and up 3-2. I would rather be in the Celtics positon where you know if you lose you have another game. I have the Lakers winning Game 6 103-97. Kobe will do it all. In Game 7 [if there is one] I have the Celtics taking the trophy back to Boston. They will take it 93-91. Let's see if the Lakers can be the 3rd team to win back-to-back games at home while down 2-3 in a 2-3-2 series.

World Cup

The World Cup so far has had some thrills. South Africa and Mexico tied 1-1 to start it out but RSA scored the first ever World Cup goal in Africa. Uruguay and France tied 0-0. Argentina and South Korea both won. The U.S. and England tied 1-1 because Robert Green dropped a save. The sad thing is that he might get death threats. That is how seriously they take soccer. I think I will pray for him. No joke. Ghana, Slovenia, and Germany also won. The only team who scored a lot was Germany. We have not got to the offensive teams like Spain, Brazil, and Ivory Coast.

Going Back to L.A.

Tonight is Game 5 of the NBA Finals. I have the Celtics winning 106-104. Pierce will play well and Perkins will have 20+ points. Bynum will have a big game but will come up short. Let me just say, the Celtics and Lakers players wre wrong; It is going back to L.A.

Right Now

Last night the Chicago Blackhawks won the 2010 Stanley Cup! They beat the Flyers 4-3 in OT. Patrick Kane had the game-winning goal in OT. The Flyers had so much momentum. Toews won MVP for the whole entire postseason. In other news, USC got a 2 year postseason ban! I mean they are punishing kids who had nothing to do with it. So now will have to wait 2 years until the Bowl Season gets good.

Big Move

Today there was a big move in College sports. Nebraska moved to the Big Ten! It was all about revenue. Nebraska will now more likely be a power house in the Big Ten. The Big 12 is falling apart. Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A+M, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma St. will probably go to the PAC 10. Colorado will either go to the Mountain West or PAC 10. Missouri will probably go to the Big 10.

MY TROJANS!

Today the NCAA announced that they will have a meeting to discuss the USC allegations. I'm talking about the allegations with Reggie Bush in 2005. You might have read a little bit about this in the article Title Taken. Things are not looking good for MY TROJANS! I think it is a little bit annoying that Pete Carrol just left right when things got rough. I mean, I thought a lesson they tell you in football is never to back down from a challenge. Tomorrow it is all on the line for MY TROJANS!

All on the Line

Tonight I have the Blackhawks beating the Flyers 3-1 in Philly. Toews will have 2 goals and Versteeg will have 1. It is all on the line tonight. I also have the Celtics winning tonight in Boston 101-99. Just to let you know Steven Strasburg has a lead in his debut. No player has gotten a hit on hime yet as the Nationals are winning 1-0.

Big Night

Tonight is a big night in sports. First I have the Blackhawks to win 4-1 versus the Flyers in Chicago. Toews and Hossa will have a big night. I also have the Celtics winning 98-93. Bynum will have 20+ points and Garnett will have about 25-30 points. Congrats to Rafael Nadal for beating Soderling in the French Open Finals.

Belmont

Tonight is the Belmont Stakes. I have Uptown Charlie Brown to Win after his trainer died. He is carrying a lot on his back. I have Ice Box to Show and Spangld Star to Place. The Belmont was not talked about this year if you ask me. They had to change times of events in New York for the Belmont traffic.

Renew The Rivalry

Tonight is Game 1 of the Celtics-Lakers series. This will be the eleventh time the Lakers and Celtics have played in the title. They have combined for 32 NBA Titles. That is more than half of the Championships. I have the Celtics winning in 6 games. Game 1 will go to Boston as Allen will have 20+ points. The Celtics will take it 96-93.

Ice Time

Tonight the Blackhawks and Flyers will play on the ice in Philly. After going 1-1 this weekend I have the Flyers winning tonight 4-2. The Blackhawks will still be leading the series, though. Leighton will come up big. Toews and Kane will have a goal. Philly will be roaring tonight.
