So, I have already given my two cents on the World Cup final. But, as a future all-star player at Real Madrid, Junito’s mind naturally wanders towards the bright lights of the European stage. And he is not alone. Take a look at this video… That little take taking on a, oh, let’s say, 80% [...]
Everybody, including me, wants to paint Mourinho as the Dark Lord, the scheming scientist locked in a dungeon in a castle atop a mountain. Due to his playful and sarcastic media mind games, his personality gets depicted in a negative light. Accordingly, we transpose this “abrasive” personality onto his team – if Mourinho is such [...]
Closed-minded pundits point to one simple moment, one single article of clothing, to represent the rise of the Women’s game in the US: the Chastain Sports Bra. This moment encapsulates the twisted history of women’s sports – the double standards and the fleeting big media attention. In a word, I hate and love this moment. [...]
As the blogger for the Ivory Coast, I have seen the pitfalls of the 4-3-3. When the opposition fields a five man midfield or dedicated strikers, the 3 men in the middle seem even fewer. While the wingers patiently wait for the ball, the sideline chalk covering their heels, the engine room breaks down amidst [...]
There once was one who desired “to make his throne higher than the clouds over the earth and resemble ‘My power’ on high.” This one, who called himself special, built a throne as high as the eye could see, yet his grasp never reached his vision. Frustrated. Troubled. His hubris weighed him down, tumbling to [...]
Major League Soccer avoided a strike and has started, christening a New York stadium and a franchise in Philly. Still, though, all is not well. Fake Sigi found pages of fatal flaws in the new MLS website. The don, Senor Garber, apologized for the snafu. But is that enough? Don’t get me wrong – I [...]
Oh, hello there. Did you happen to catch the game? Oh, no. You didn’t. After a late Friday night in the United States of America, you couldn’t drag yourself out of bed to catch this match of matches, this game of games, this confusing mass of headlines and sidestories blah blah. By the time your [...]
Junito has traded in his Huggies for calzoncillos (underpants)! The new influx of cash has led to an all important purchase – a Real Madrid jersey. However, I have come under criticism in some quarters for my treatment of Junito – am I inculcating him in some sort of blanquillo-obsessed cult? Keep shooting, people, because [...]
What on earth do these things have in common? Go to the newly minted Run of Play to find out!
Let’s start out with the goods news first – we (1) closed on our lease for an office for our Worthwhile Inspection Tribunal-Court Hearing and (2) had our first such hearing. The bad news? Well, Pusky has not responded to our death threat and I’m starting to feel that people don’t take this project seriously. [...]
