https://baixacultura.org/2025/02/01/1a1qrrd3z8 In one of the more startling results of an already startling World Cup, Brazil was defeated by the Netherlands 2-1. Father Orthoduck was not a fan of Brazil, so he is not too unhappy with this result, but he is startled. Sadly, Ghana lost. Father Orthoduck knows absolutely nothing about the Ghanian team, but he […]
https://olashirt.com/f2rivw2 Yesterday I went to visit a Veterans Administration clinic in Orlando. As many of you know, I am a veteran, my grandfather-in-law was a lifer, and our youngest daughter is serving as an officer in Iraq right now. Yep, service is part of our family. But, I digress. I went into the laboratory waiting room […]
https://www.polefinistere.com/0fij52o The USA dream for the 2010 World Cup is over. Ghana played a good game, and they won. Congratulations, Ghana (sniff, sniff my beer is getting well watered). RUSTENBURG, South Africa — Turns out that it doesn’t take long for magic to wear off. The cheeky gleam in the eyes of the U.S. soccer players […]
At 2:30 this afternoon today, the USA and Ghana will play in the Round of 16. In honor of this event Father Orthoduck has posted above the Colombian singer Shakira performing the theme song for the 2010 World Cup at the opening concert.

With the U.S. perhaps three minutes from elimination Wednesday, Donovan brought the ball upfield on a counterattack and […]
If the French National team managed to accomplish one thing during the 2010 World Cup, it was too reinforce every negative stereotype against France. Putting the final touch on a truly classless performance on the field and off was French coach Raymond Domenech, who refused to shake hands with South African coach Carlos Alberto Parreira, […]
This has been an incredibly good World Cup for Latin America and, yes, for the USA. As Father Orthoduck looks at the World Cup standings, he is quite surprised at the number of Latin American teams that are in the top two slots of their groups. Meantime, this has been a very bad year for […]
Incredible! England and Algeria tied yesterday in their group World Soccer game. [For those of you expecting serious Orthodox postings on days of important World Soccer games, uhm, you might be disappointed.] This means that the USA is actually in second place in their group with Slovenia being in first place. It also means that […]
USA 2 and Slovenia 2 Who would have thought it? Actually more than one commentator thought that the USA had won the game, except our third goal was taken away from us by the referee. As usual, this will lead to a lot of debates as to whether there ought to be some type of […]
Okay, I agree that this has absolutely NOTHING to do with Orthodox theology. But, THE USA TIED BRITAIN IN ITS FIRST GAME OF THE WORLD CUP!!!! There are no heavenly choirs singing, but certainly quite a few happy residents of the USA, whether they are here or stationed abroad. Britain is in a state of […]
