Hartford Men's Soccer: Portugal's Magical Moment versus North Korea
http://worldcup.hartfordhawks.com/2010/06/portugals-magical-moment-versus-north.html
Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Portugal's Magical Moment versus North Korea. Now that is how you play football! Portugal's 7-0 win over North Korea on Monday was obviously a big moment for the team. Having six different players score for our team was huge. To have that kind of variation in scoring is tremendous for Portugal. It was a total team effort. I believe the magic began a few days before our match versus North Korea. It was not a great pass, spectacular finish or perfectly timed tackle. It was...The s...

Tuesday, June 29, 2010. Phase Two: The Knockout Stage - Portugal vs. Spain. When you start the journey that is the World Cup, there's always a sense of anxiety. You try to focus on the two segments of the tournament: there's the qualification aspect, which Team Portugal has already achieved, and then there's the knockout phase, which requires a winning mentality. The loser goes home and the winner stays. We've reached the knockout stage and we don't want to go home. Entering the knockout phase, there has...

Friday, June 4, 2010. Nelson Mandela World Cup. The Beauty and Power of South Africa. In 2000 I had the honor of working with the Bafana Bafana soccer team. I was invited by the South African National Team Head Coach Carlos Queiroz. They were preparing for the African Nation’s Cup in Mali. The Mystery and Magic of Muti. Muti is a witch doctor wearing a tribal costume. He began chanting and spreading white powder and what seemed to be small bone chips around the locker room. All of a sudden - poof! At the...
