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
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 [...]
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 [...]

First off, Barcelona deserved to win. There was no phantom call. There was no atrocious officiating. Barcelona deserved to win. And they won. I’m sure that Sir Alex could find some fault with a close off-sides call, but Madrid lost, fair, square, & full circle. Still, this game failed to live up to the hype [...]

As long as the world gyrates around the sun, the weight of my writing will have had no impact on the Earth’s rotation. But…there is hope. As the collective footballing conscious surfs the Somalian-Pirate infested internet waters in search of streams, [...]
I don’t want to come off as too conceited, but I am 90% sure that one of the following three possibilities will occur: (1) Madrid will win, (2) Barcelona will win, or (3) Neither team will win.I GUARANTEE that both teams cannot possibly win. Not a chance. And you heard it here first. Of course, [...]
I have a theory – search engines prove that machines will never ever be able to supplant human beings, only replacing the flesh & bone eventually with cold steel. Leo Messi has boldly left the cocoon behind, never again to caterpillar up or down a leaf. Is he secretly the lovechild of a Maradonna mariposa? [...]
In the soccer sporting world, certain assertions are taken as universal truth. A headed goal is ugly. A pass in the air that sales for over 30 yards is “direct.” A team unwilling to pressure for possession, instead waiting to capitalize on mistakes, is cynical. The linear equation of “pass + pass = beauty” can [...]
