2010 FIFA World Cup Quarterfinals

6/30/10 1:14 AM

The World Cup continues as only eight teams remain.  (06/02)  Netherlands vs. Brazil These are two of the best teams in the tournament who will be fighting for the spot to advance.  Anything could happen but I see this game going into overtime and possibly penalty kicks as the Netherlands come out victorious.  Netherlands win and advance to the semifinals.  (06/02) Uruguay vs. Ghana The only African team left in the tournament will be facing one of the many great South American teams.  Although Ghana pulled out a win against the US, I don’t think they have what it takes to beat Uruguay.  Uruguay wins and advances to the semifinals (06/03) Argentina vs. Germany This may be the best match of the tournament....

NBA Finals Predictions

6/2/10 2:52 AM

The Lakers fans said “we want Boston” and their wish was granted.  For the 12th time in NBA finals history, the Los Angeles Lakers will be playing the Boston Celtics.  The rivalry continues as the Lakers look to defend their title, while the Celtics hope for a repeat of 2008.  For the last time this season, here are our predictions. 2010 NBA Finals: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Boston Celtics Efe’s Prediction: What LA needs to win: The Lakers have three keys to winning this series.  One, they must be vicious on defense. They need to attack passing lanes, block shots, and force hard shots because defense will win this series.  Two, they need to use the defense to create fast-break offense...
