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 [...]
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 [...]
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

We [...]

Has the European soccer planet shifted gravitational pull towards the Iberian peninsula? The story lines abounded, and a few refreshing moments shall wet your appetite before the MOST IMPORTANT EVENT is explained.
Some things go wrong for all the wrong reasons. I’d been to West London, East London, and everywhere in between. I’d even taken a trip up North, but this old Scotsman business dealings had failed to crystallize. My redheaded client and I, braced against a wall, dared not peek out the window. The recent gunshots [...]
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 [...]
Today we welcome a guestpost from the best satirical soccer blogger not named Bedorarrci, the one and only Nick Dunmore of the ever excellent FISTEDAWAY.
