Ivory Coast Was In, Then They Weren't...

((HT: ESPN/FIFA))

If the Ivory Coast won with the firepower they had- Yaya Toure, Kolo Toure, Bony, and Drogba... then it would have been a great offensive show for the knockout round. If only the head coach had gotten his starting line-up right (or just kept it constant). Drogba came in as Super Sub in the 2 previous games, but was started in Game 3.

This kill shot didn't work. But a comeback over Greece almost got them in with the draw...

Yeah, that didn't go well either in stoppage time...
It has to be seen to believed...


So, Greece advances to the knockout stages for the first time with the 2-1 win...

Bully for them...

OSG FA: The Chosen One Loses At Old Trafford

Financial projections for Manchester United are always meant with a top-4 finish in the Premier League and semi-finals appearances in the competition cups in mind...

That, now, has to change as Swansea beat 10-man United in the 3rd round of the FA Cup earlier today at Old Trafford...

Wayne Routledge has a pretty goal early on for the 1-0 lead...
((HT: BT Sport))


But, Fabio issued a vicious challenge that led to a red card offense and put United down a man as they tried to come from behind...


It didn't come to pass, so Swansea gets their first win ever at Old Trafford and United has four home losses in their last six matches as Wilfired Bony got the game-winner late in regulation...

Not what the home fans expect as the Swans now join Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, Sunderland, and Liverpool in the next round.
