Allez Les Bleus, Allez Les Bleus
I noticed a lot of hype surrounding the US team going into today’s match. A lot of hype, wishful thinking, and rubbish predictions. From what I’ve been reading on the various football sites that I frequent, an overwhelming majority of amateur pundits, blogsters, and fans considered the U.S. performance to be the worst in the tournament thus far. I agree, an absolute disgrace. Instead of proving something on soccer’s biggest stage, they laid a big fat egg in front of the entire world. But to be honest, I wasn’t really rooting for them. I tend to follow and support teams containing players from Arsenal and the Czech Republic have Tomas Rosicky.
I’ll go ahead and list the teams containing players from Arsenal for whoever cares
France: Henry
Germany: Lehman
Spain: Reyes & Fabregas
Holland: Van Persie
Czech Republic: Rosicky
Togo: Adebayor
Ivory Coast: Toure & Eboue
Switzerland: Senderos
Sweden: Ljungberg
England: Walcott, Campbell, Cole
Brazil: Gilberto
-I might be forgetting someone.
Fact: Arsenal are tied with Chelsea as the club having the most players participating for their respective teams in this year’s World Cup.
Tommorow’s Predictions:
Togo 2 South Korea 1
France 2 Switzerland 0
Brazil 2 Croatia 0
Has anyone else noticed the ridiculous commentary from ABC and ESPN. I heard one guy say “Michael Beckham is great at free kicks” and mention Posh Spice like five times.
P.S. I support the French because of Henry.
P.S.S. And also because of my reverse boycott of France.
Mexico v.s. Iran - America's two greatest enemies
In honor of those funny sounding foreign names participating in this year’s World Cup, I’ve compiled a list of the names that I find the most amusing. Note that some of the following players are just not good enough to play for they’re respective national teams and therefore are not in Germany this summer. But nonetheless they are all professional footballers either active or retired.
Ryan’s Top Ten amusing footballer names:
10) Pascal Zuberbuhler (Switzerland)
9) Shabazz Baidoo (Queen’s Park Rangers)
8) Kaka (Brazil/A.C. Milan)
7) Wolfgang Wolf (Wolfsburg…honestly)
6) Stefan Kuntz (Kaiserslautern)
5) Arsenio Love (Angola)
4) Uwe Fuchs (Stuttgart)
3) Dean Windass (Bradford City)
2) Danny Shittu (Queen’s Park Rangers)

1) Creedence Clearwater Couto (Lierse)
-I’m not kidding, check the link.

By the way, if I fail to blog by Monday’s U.S v. Czech Republic game, make sure to check out Tomas Rosicky (CM for the Czech Republic). He’s Arsenal’s new summer signing and I hear he’s tits.
Tomorrow’s predictions:
Holland 2 Serbia & Montenegro 0
Mexico 1 Iran 1
Portugal 3 Angola 1
P.S. I hope I never break my penis. Also, I’m quite sure that Murphy’s Law does not apply to genitalia.
P.S.S. The racy photo above (you know which one) is actually titled ‘World Cup fan’ so, yes, it is appropriate and quite nice. I think she’s an Ecuador fan.
Ahhh...to be young and unemployed during the world cup
It is upon us, the beautiful game at it's best. The World Cup kicked off this morning @ 1700 hours (Munich time) and featured an emphatic win by a Ballack-less German side. It is my goal (pardon the pun) to watch every minute of every game save for a few cig breaks. Quite a few cig breaks. And, as I am writing this to you, there has yet to be a response to my Salacious Crumb post, very dissapointing. Make sure you're future comments are in regards to both the World Cup and Salacious. Salacious makes me smile.
Here's tommorow's games along with my predictions:
England v. Paraguay
3-1 to England
Trinidad & Tobago v. Sweden
4-0 to Sweden
Argentina v. Ivory Coast
2-2
Let me know you're predictions as well. There may be a few upsets.
Here's some questions
1) Who are you rooting for?
My answer: France
2) Who do you think will be top scorer? Henry, Ronaldo, Klose, Drogba, Crouch, Adriano, Toni, Shevchenko, Raul, Van Persie, Van Nistelrooy, Owen, Crespo, Ibrahimovich, Larsson, Adebayor, etc, etc?
My answer: Klose or Henry (yes, I know Klose has already scored twice)
P.S. Right now I'm drinking a beer called Bavaria and it's made in Holland (also a country I fancy for a World Cup win).
I can't think of a title
Last night I got to watching Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and it left me with a few questions pertaining to the Star Wars galaxy as a whole. For instance, "What species does Yoda belong to?"
So I went online to solve these galactic riddles and stumbled upon a beautiful creature I had previously forgotten. Remember the cackling little slimeball that hugged the side of Jabba the Hutt throughout Return of the Jedi. The one that laughed so hysterically at the misfortunes of others and eventually tried to destroy C3PO by tearing out his wiring. Get this, he has a name and a beautiful name it is: Salacious Crumb.
For more information on Salacious visit:
http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/salaciouscrumb/Here's some questions for my loyal readers:
1) Does the Salacious Crumb post indicate aninterstellarburst reaching an all time low?
2) Have you ever had a Salacious Crumb sex dream?
P.S. I have not had a Salacious Crumb sex dream. But, I have had many sex dreams involving Princess Leia in the slave outfit and more often than not, Salacious is watching.
P.S. It turns out that George Lucas has never revealed the species of Yoda.
