Today UEFA banned the vuvuzelas. Uefa’s argued that the “buzzing” sound drowned out the crowd’s emotional response to the match. This background “noise” diluted “the culture and tradition of Europe.” And no. The President of UEFA is French and his last name starts with P, but he not Le Pen. Now if you will briefly [...]
The universe has inverted itself. The malcontent souls go to AC Milan, while the bad souls go to Barcelona. As for those in between – the hapless sailors aboard a ship sailed by a ruthless and sinful captain, the ocean opens up its mighty mouth but refuses to swallow them whole. Rather, they float, and [...]
The beauty of soccer lies in the invisible realm of human interaction. Synapses, emotions, understanding, the unseen often dictates human relations more so than the obvious. All too often, the realm of movies with voice-over kills the complexity of a clever screenplay or a dynamic play. If one could pry open Jose’s skull and see [...]
Not quite original content, not quite a link-up, we present a special new post here at Futfanatico: the sarcastic one. Novel, no? Now on with it. First, the Guardian reports that Inter faxed an offer for Javier Mascherano to Liverpool. The offer? Sulley Muntari plus 6 million pounds. Now I know your confusion – after [...]
Up until this point, the story of Junito’s rise to the top of Real Madrid has been rather “toddler-centric.” However, it was inevitable that my actuacion as papy-entrenador would come into question after a run of poor results. I hate to say it, but if I were England manager, I would be more McLaren then [...]
It’s time for a good old fashioned link-up. Stop, make sure no co-workers or supervisors are in sight, and then click more. Wait for it….wait for it….wait for it…NOW
There is a saying – familiarity breeds contempt. However, for the attacking trident of Chelsea, a keen understanding and movement has led to a whopping 12-0 goal differential and two wins. Granted, neither West Brom nor Wigan will be fighting for titles this season, but…but…but…six goals is six goals is six goals.
So, in the spirit of WAATP shit look-a-likes, I stumbled upon a delightful feature film which I think sets the course for Jose Mourinho’s coaching career at Real Madrid. That film? Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining.” So grab a bag of fresh popcorn, tuck your kiddos safely into bed, and get ready to be terribly amazed.
For those of you not in the know (yes, you), Brian at Run of Play has been holding a special “Pele Week” to celebrate the player who advertised for Viagra but did not use it. Of course, Pele denied needing to use the ED solving drug, but that did not stop an immediate surge in [...]
Every society has a cultural expression for childhood fear. In the United States of America, a land of abundance, vast homes, and suburban distance, the isolation manifests itself in the form of monsters. These monster do not lurk in the woods, the roof, or the basement. Rather, these insidious fiends dwell in the vacant spaces [...]
