Well people, I fear I may have unleashed a monster. I never once thought my blog and ouija board would combine to form a pandora’s box of supernatural proportions, but such is my fate. I cannot coax this demon back into his dungeon. Puskas is on twitter. I just want to watch the MLS Cup, [...]
Alright folks, I am 100% sure that it is not my brother pulling this stunt. Why? He’s working the night shift, has a classy prepaid cricket cell phone (no iphone), and I just got a little message from everyone’s favorite “dead” Hungarian. The timing does not work up, unless my bro has a conspirator. But [...]
So the best part about blogging is eventually growing a well-educated, loyal, and assertive readership base. Yes, the livetweet of the Grant Wahl book failed to irreparably disrupt the space-time continuum (at least in this dimension), but we had fun? Didn’t we? Well, I had fun.
But for those of you too cool for twitter, you [...]
The Goblin King was unavailable for an comment on the upcoming English action, so instead we have turned to an equally astute sage for counsel. Walter Mercado is the star-reading attraction of Don Francisco Presenta, a Spanish language staple variety hour whose longevity makes Bob Barker appear a puppy.
Mr. Mercado terrifies small children, may or [...]
Okay, so the last lesson we did on the offensive part of the pitch was a bit short. Still, the distinction between “gol” and “gooooool” and “golaaaaaazo” is an important one. But I once again heeded to your calls, and this lesson will focus on goalscoring. More specifically, how exactly one scores a goal. Well, [...]
Hey you! No, not the guy behind you. No, not the split personality. YOU. YOU. Why did you watch the do-or-die Egypt-Algeria playoff? Have you ever been to either of those countries? Wow, you know about the Pharaohs and Pyramids of Egypt, but what about Algeria. Yeah, that’s what I thought. And did you even [...]
“The Gash” by The Flaming Lips
One day after US Soccer sent out an email on how to score US World Cup tickets (a very affordable membership fee), Nike has rocked the once solid fan base of the Yank team. I normally leave fashion commentary to professionals , but even to my untrained eye, the new US kit presents a revolting [...]
The FIFA handslap brigade is at it again. This time, the dastardly, ever cruel judges at the FIFA headquarters, conveniently located atop a menacing mountaintop (known as “Skull Mountain” by local indigenous peoples), have issued a very strong sentence: Diego Maradonna has been banned from all football activities for two months. Yes, you read that [...]
Calm. Composed. Cool. Classy. It seems that every possible adjective for Frank Rijkaard begins with a hard consonant, fitting for a holding midfielder that turned a successful playing career into an equally trophy-laden managerial spell. But after running up the video-goal tab, the time has come for “Great And…Not Great” to focus on the ticking [...]
