World Cup of Cars: South Korea vs. Belgium
Today, Group H’s highest ranking team, Belgium, take on the lowest-ranking, South Korea. No matter the outcome of today’s game, Belgium will be heading through to the next round. South Korea, however, is facing elimination unless it can somehow, magically, beat the Red Devils on the pitch later on this afternoon. That’s pretty unlikely, so […]
World Cup of Cars: Portugal vs. Ghana
All eyes…well, at least any eyes able to sneak away from work for a long Thursday lunch…will be on the final Group G matchups in preliminary play, which includes Portugal vs. Ghana. If you’re reading this in America, here’s what you need to know: Ghana will knock the USMNT with a multi-goal win over Portugal, […]
World Cup of Cars: Algeria vs. Russia
Today marks the final day of preliminary World Cup matches. One of the two very final matches to be played today is the Algeria vs. Russia match. While it’s anyone’s guess what will go down on the field, we’d like to take a look at how the two countries stack up against one another on […]
World Cup of Cars: USA vs. Germany
Today, the top two teams from Group G face off to see who will go on to the Round of 16. If the result is a draw, both teams will head onto the knockout stages. If the USA loses, the team will still advance provided Ghana doesn’t make up a two-goal deficit. Either way, it’ll […]
World Cup of Cars: Ecuador vs. France
Whenever we hear the word “Ecuador,” we get this song in our heads. It’s unfortunate. Today, however, our minds turn to the wonderful world of football, and the World Cup. As we enter the final days of group stages, we see Ecuador take on France at Rio de Janeiro’s Estadio do Maracana. As the leader […]
World Cup of Cars: Nigeria vs. Argentina
In today’s final round of Group F matches, we’ll see Nigeria take on Argentina. The two teams are the top ranked in their group—Argentina has six points, while Nigeria has four. It’s likely that these two teams will move onto the next round, so it should be an exciting match. The only thing standing in […]
World Cup of Cars: Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Iran
Before you catch the Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Iran World Cup match later today, check out the (almost as exciting) World Cup of Cars match between the two competing countries here at The News Wheel. Playing for Bosnia and Herzegovina is the Dacia Duster, a highly capable SUV that is also marketed as the Renault […]
World Cup of Cars: Greece vs. Cote d’Ivoire
Tonight in World Cup action, Greece takes on Cote d’Ivoire with both teams desperately needing to win. Cote d’Ivoire is through to the next round with a victory, and Greece will need a win and a Japan loss to make the Round of 16. While this will certainly be the match to watch tonight, our […]
World Cup of Cars: Japan vs. Colombia
Later today the world will turn its attention to the Japan vs. Colombia World Cup match, but while we wait, we’ll go ahead and let them duke it out in our World Cup of Cars series. Which country will come out on top? It’s anyone’s guess. Playing for Japan is the Subaru Impreza, built in […]
World Cup of Cars: Costa Rica vs. England
Today at noon, Group D leaders Costa Rica take on bottom-ranked England in the final group series match for both teams—and the final 2014 World Cup match for England. No matter the outcome of today’s match, Costa Rica will go on, while the England team will be boarding a plane home. Costa Rica’s two wins […]
World Cup of Cars: Italy vs. Uruguay
As we get into the second day of the last week of matches in the group stages, we see two teams from Group D battle it out for a win that will score one country passage to the knockout rounds of the 2014 World Cup. Those two teams, Italy and Uruguay, each come off one […]
World Cup of Cars: Cameroon vs. Brazil
Tonight’s World Cup matchup pits host country Brazil against Cameroon; Brazil will be looking to get back to their winning ways after drawing against Mexico, and Cameroon is just looking to score a damn goal already. Seriously, people somewhere have you in their office pool, Cameroon. Does this mean nothing to you? In our World […]
World Cup of Cars: Croatia vs. Mexico
Going into this third and final match for the two teams from Group A, things are pretty much up in the air. The top two spots in the group, which will mean advancement to the knockout stages, are still up for grabs, and it’s likely that either Croatia or Mexico will make it through today. […]
World Cup of Cars: Netherlands vs. Chile
We’re entering the last few days of group stages, and we already know a few countries that won’t be making it to the playoffs (cough… England… cough). But although some of the teams we cover will be heading home this week, we still need to determine the winners of our World Cup of Cars matches, […]
World Cup of Cars: Australia vs. Spain
Today’s Australia vs. Spain World Cup match should prove to be rather exciting, but perhaps even more exciting (okay, not really, but humor us?) is the World Cup of Cars match between the two countries, where we see which country’s representative vehicle will come out on top. And let the match begin! Representing Australia is […]
World Cup of Cars: USA vs. Portugal
In a surprising turn of events, the USA beat Ghana in their opening match of the 2014 World Cup group stages. It was an intense game, and there were a few times where we didn’t know if we were going to make, but we’re pretty sure that in the aftermath, you could hear the chants of […]
World Cup of Cars: South Korea vs. Algeria
Today marks the South Korea vs. Algeria World Cup match (South Korea = Korea Republic), and while the two teams are pretty evenly matched (because they’re pretty evenly awful), we’re more interested in which country would win on the road in our World Cup of Cars series. Playing for South Korea is the South Korean-built […]
World Cup of Cars: Belgium vs. Russia
Despite losing their opening matchups in our World Cup of Cars thanks to a lack of exciting cars, Russia and Belgium have been anything but boring. Their 12pm EST matchup from Estádio Maracanã might prove to be one of the more exciting matches of the weekend, but we can’t necessarily say the same for their […]
