Today, I had the opportunity to meet the young @rihanna - Pele Twitter

Germany Vs Brazil - 5 - 0 at Halftime, Ends 7 - 1 And Germany Proceeds To Finals!

Twelve years ago, Ronaldo, Rivaldo & Ronaldinho’s Brazil were tearing Germany apart in the 2002 World Cup final - how things have changed!

Germany is fairly tearing the host nation apart in this heated semi-final. Where is the Brazil that defeated all the countries in their group?

Germany scored the first 5 goals within the first 30 mins of the match. Let's see if Brazil can match that. Brazil has just about 20 mins to salvage any of the goals against them, but I doubt that's going to happen.

UPdate - The game has ended 7 - 1 to Germany who will now play at the finals.

US Keeper Tim Howard Says Christian Faith Helped Him Deal With Tourettes And Excel in Football

During the U.S.-Belgium game this week, Tim Howard blocked 16 shots on goal, a World Cup record. And although the United States was eliminated from the competition in a 2-1 loss, Howard was still voted the best player of the game.

Last Tuesday's defining game with Belgium drew an audience of 21 million television viewers in the United States, a nation that is slowly catching on to the rest of the world's top sport.

The team returned to the United States Thursday with its now-famous goalie a social media phenomenon. A trending hashtag #ThingsTimHowardCouldSave includes saving the Titanic from sinking and the White House from the alien attack in the movie "Independence Day."

Nigeria Loses 2 - 0 to France And Thus Ends Our World Cup Journey

Captain, Joseph Yobo, scored an own goal during today's World Cup round of 16 soccer match between France and Nigeria. But his mistake at the final minute was just the nail in the coffin.

The Super Eagles had a goal ruled out for offside in the first half after Emmanuel Emenike scored the first goal of the match with a cross from Ahmed Musa. That first half belonged to Nigeria as France started slowly.

However, France finished strongly in the second half with their striker Paul Pogba scoring a late header from a corner kick that broke Nigeria's defence.

World Cup Star Kyle Beckerman With Wife Kate Pappas Show Soccer Love With Engagement Photos

Kyle Beckerman, Team USA's midfielder, has been awesome at the World Cup, proving to be one of the most physical players on the field, his dreaded hair an unwelcome sight for opponents.

But with his wife Kate Pappas, Kyle Beckerman is a softie, a romantic and a lover. Even when they are on the soccer pitch, he is far removed from the fighter he usually is.

This is seen in the couple's adorable engagement photos taken at the Rio Tinto Stadium, the home field for Beckerman's MLS club, Real Salt Lake. The couple also got a few nature shots that show their love for the outdoors.

President Barack Obama Watching The USA Vs Germany Game Aboard Air Force One

The President of the United States of America, Barack Obama saw the World Cup game between the United States men's national soccer team and Germany aboard his Air Force One while he was en-route Minneapolis.

While people like Ann Coulter keep ranting rubbish about the beautiful game, fans of soccer keep winning. I pray the US team goes far in the world cup.

The United States lost 1-0, courtesy of a Thomas Muller strike, but still progressed to the second round of the World Cup where they will meet Belgium.

Ann Coulter Bashes The World Cup, Says Soccer is a Sign of America's Moral Decay Due to Immigration

Ann Coulter is an American republican, she loves being controversial, and her favorite past-time is goading liberals and bashing minorities - now the list includes football, or soccer as it is known in the United States.

The conservative columnist took the time yesterday to air her views on the apparently increasing popularity of soccer in America since the 2014 FIFA World Cup. And she chose the morning of the U.S. Men’s National Team’s most important match of the mundial to stir up the waters. Her title? “America’s Favorite National Pastime: Hating Soccer.”

Ann Coulter complains about everything in the beautiful game, from the length to the rule about not using hands, to the team play required. Everything about soccer according to her is dirty and disgusting. She rounds off by saying soccer is only enjoyed by immigrants and real Americans don't watch soccer.

Luis Suarez Gets Four-Month Ban as Funny Memes For Italy Bite Go Viral

Luis Suarez has been suspended for nine international matches and banned from football for four months for biting an opponent. Fifa took action after Suarez sank his teeth into Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini's shoulder during Uruguay's world cup match with Italy.

In the time since the bite took place last Tuesday, plenty of memes and jokes have been doing the rounds on social media mocking the Uruguay striker.

Check out some of the funniest memes below..

Rihanna Will Not Be Happy as Kevin-Prince Boateng Suspended and Sent Home From The World Cup

 Rihanna had her eyes on Kevin-Prince Boateng during the Ghanaian -USA world cup match last week, when she said she was team Ghana because of him, "Da Bae doe! I might have to b team Ghana on this one idc idc idc," she had tweeted.

Unfortunately, Kevin-Prince Boateng, and Sulley Muntari have been suspended indefinitely for disciplinary reasons, and sent home immediately from Brazil. They will not be playing the next Ghana match with Portugal.

Boateng was suspended indefinitely for what the FA said were “vulgar verbal insults” aimed at the team’s coach, James Appiah, during training.

Boateng confirmed he had been sent home, but denied the charges, telling the German magazine Sport-Bild:

#NigeriaVsBosnia - Nigeria Wins! Nigeria 1 - 0 Bosnia

It was a tough last 10 minutes, but yes, we did it! May God bless Vincent Enyema for all the saves, and also Odeweinge, doing all - defending, attacking, creating chances and scoring the first and only goal of the match.

I also think Emenike did a great job and deserves MVP. More power to the Super Eagles!

#SpainVsChile - Spain Out of The World Cup After Losing to Chile

Spain, the defending champions at the on-going world cup in Brazil have lost their second group match to Chile today, ending their run at the mundial.

The Spanish national team failed in their attempt to win a second successive World Cup after Chile defeated them with 2 goals to Nil. This means that the team  has been eliminated even though they still have one group game to play. With this defeat for Spain, they have become the third reigning champion to be knocked out in the group stage in the last four World Cups.

France dropped out at the same stage in 2002, with Italy going the same way in 2010. Brazil was the defending champions in 2006 World Cup, and only managed to make it to the Quarter-Finals. Seems like winning the World Cup is bad luck for the defending champions come the next time around.

Are Football Players Allowed To Have Sex While at the World Cup? See Country List

Every World Cup coach has his own methods for trying to improve the success of his team. Some coaches have imposed rules on their players not only covering their training regimen and on-field tactics, but also on their after-hours activities.

While researchers have found that sex is no physical detriment to athletic performance, some coaches are unconvinced. The chart above shows where the individual country teams come down on their players’ bedroom activities during the World Cup.

Some teams have explicit policies about player sex that they’ve shared publicly, and Quartz has done a post collecting all the available information. As you can see from the chart above, Nigeria falls under, "It's complicated"

USAvsGhana, Iran Vs Nigeria - What Happened? See Funny Yabbis and Picture Memes

I earlier wrote that Nigeria beating Iran was a done deal, while cheering the Super Eagles, but they proved me wrong. After the match, I consoled myself saying we can manage a goal-less draw for now, but my friends on Facebook are just not happy with the performance of Nigeria Vs Iran match.

Some of those supporting all the African teams wanted to console themselves with Ghana, but the Black Stars also lost, too bad. But I am pleased with that though, I am rooting for USA going forward. I no want heart attack with the sloppy way the Super eagles are playing.

And the yabbis are just starting. Where is my American flag jare...

Football unites Nigerians like almost nothing else. As the Super Eagles play their first game at the 2014 World Cup, everyone is prepared to cheer them on from all corners of the country and the world. Friends in the UK, Germany, and here in the US are flying Nigeria's flag for this big occassion.

Here on RML, we have collected some pictures, music videos and documentaries to encourage us all. The Fly With the Eagles theme song features Waje, Bez, Flavour and Ill Bliss, and was created as a World Cup TVC by Guiness to support the Eagles to Victory!

I really love the song and I hope it lifts the Super Eagles of Nigeria and they win against Iran. It should be a done deal.
