The USA team started off the tournament ranked number 13 out of 32 teams. Although, the first round has just concluded, the US ended up wining one game and tying two.
Why is it that every other country stops what they are doing to watch their team play a match in the World Cup, and the US can’t pause for a second? Is it because the USA team has never been a strong player in the tournament, or is it because Americans just don’t care about soccer? Is it because we have so many other sports going on from football and basketball to UFC fights that we just do not have the time or the energy for one more sport!
In my opinion, it has to do with us not being one of the top teams in the tournament. Americans tend to be fair weather fans, I mean look at the recent Lakers vs. Celtic games, all of a sudden people who I know didn’t watch basketball were getting to bars 2 hours early, just so they could get a “good seat” to watch the game. Really? But will the USA team ever be that good? We have some hope this year with captain Carlos Bocanegra and Landon Donavon who have been playing extremely well in the past few games. It is just up to the team as a whole to finish what they have started and continue to surprise the rest of the world.
Anyways, back to the topic at hand, the World Cup. As of now, the United States team has passed the first round. This is determined as follows:
a. the greatest number of points obtained in all group matches,
b. goal difference in all group matches
c. greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.
Although I am a team USA fan, I do want Portugal to make it far. What about you? Who do you want to see win?
over && out, Candice.
Women are busier than ever before — from constantly multitasking to always striving to look great every moment of every day. Here are some tips on how to transform a daytime work outfit into an evening look that will get you the attention you deserve.
Women are busier than ever before — from constantly multitasking to always striving to look great every moment of everyday. Here are some tips on how to transform a daytime work outfitinto an evening look that will get you the attention you deserve.
Tip #1: Make a statement with a pencil skirt
I recommend wearing a black pencil skirt to give presence and distinction. A blueberry top adds balance and credibility. If you’re looking for more impact, or some pizzazz for a special date once you punch out, creating a color contrast is an option; a sparkling wine or berry color works perfectly. If your body silhouette is curvy, look for pencil skirts that don’t hug your figure too tightly.
Tip #2: Add or switch accessories
A pencil skirt look best with 1 to 4-inch heels. Try kitten heels, pumps and peep-toes for work, and sandals for night. For evening outings, try to take just a clutch or a small bag. Big or medium sizes are appropriate for daytime.
Tip #3: Jewelry is flattering for day & night
Change from toned-down day/work jewelry to something that makes more of a statement at night. Your face and body shape should help you choose the right jewelry. Small jewelry can get lost on large figures, while bold pieces may overpower petites.I recommend leaving oversized jewelry for date night! When it comes to jewelry, size does matter!

If you are itching to escape to an exotic land, there is a unique treasure here in Miami that will surely fulfill your need for a cultural experience, the first stop: L'italia. Last week, The Vice had the privilege of being a guest at the Spirit of Italy Culinary Extravaganza Cooking Class. It was a magical evening filled with a handful of foodies and wine connoisseurs from all walks of life, coming together for a taste of Italy.
The gathering included an interactive "cucinato" lesson by Culinary Artist Maribel Dillon. She and her trusty team shared the secrets to making delicious marinara, perfect risotto and more. We filled our bellies with a 6 course dinner of authentic Italian Dishes paired with wines and liquors imported from Italy by Tita Italia. A delectable night of food, wine and live jass reflected a exclusive menu that will be showcased on the "Grande Italia Tour" some of the attendees are embarking on in August through tour company Luxury Tours for Less.
This cucinato lesson was the ultimate culinary experience and one that The Vice will surely go back to for seconds. Classes are held monthly. For more information visit SpiritofItaly.net
Buon Appetito!!!!
This mysterious title not only can be identified with that yummy dish you can't quite remember the name of...from that one restaurant...it's an emerging Asian American feature film The Vice came across last month. "Brown Soup Thing", written, directed and produced by Edward J. Mallillin, was featured at the 2010 Delray Beach Film Festival on March 27 as one of the most sought after films, due to the record breaking attendance in Los Angeles, Chicago and Las Vegas. The Vice attended the film in support of a friend and fellow cast member Julius Mayo Jr.
