We Thought Basketball Had Bad Flopping

In the video above some Ivory Coast player ran into Kaka (teehee) of Brazil and faked an injury which resulted in Kaka being given a second yellow card and being kicked out of next game. Even the announcer said he should be embarrassed to be rolling around like that.

To give Ivory Coast some credit Brazil is known for their flopping and acting, and the previous 3 minutes to that Brazil was acting up a storm to the point of ridiculousness.

Still though, gay.

World Cup Roundup: Day 4

I'm sick of hearing those Vuvuzela horns. That's the only part about this World Cup that hasn't been spectacular. Look, I know that there's an impetus to promote South African culture during this tournament, but would they allow thousands of bagpipes to play if the World Cup were in Scotland? So ban these instruments of obnoxiousness! Let them play for the games featuring the South African team, but when Germany is playing Australia, I want to hear crowd noises.

USA 1, England 1

The NY Post conjured up an amazing headline Sunday morning: "USA Wins 1-1; Greatest Tie Since Bunker Hill." And while England's goaltending gaffe ultimately allowed for this tie to occur, it was US goalie Tim Howard and some excellent defending that prevented England from making it a 2-0 game.

South Africa 1, Mexico 1
The South Africans experienced a lot of home-team hospitality when a Mexican goal was incorrectly disallowed for an offsides. There's a reason why the host team has always advanced past the group stage.

Uruguay 0, France 0
France simply refused to adjust their offense to Uruguay's defense. Imagine an offensive coordinator that kept calling for HB Dive or HB Slam, even though there are 10 defenders in the box. That's how France dealt with Uruguay's central clogging defense.

South Korea 2, Greece 0

Ever since the '02 World Cup in Korea, these guys have gotten better and better. More and More Koreans are playing for European club teams every season.

Argentina 1, Nigeria 0

An Argentinian with a German last name like Heinze? People who know their history know why that irks me. Argentina willfully became a haven for ex-Nazis after World War II. That's the part of Evita that was edited out.

Slovenia 1, Algeria 0
Slovenia was the first European team to win at the World Cup. How fucking crazy is that? And it was also Slovenia's first win in any major tournament... ever.

Ghana 1, Serbia 0
A stupid handball penalty allowed Ghana to take this pivotal win.

Germany 4, Australia 0

There were lots of questions about Germany's quality in this competition. Those questions remain, because Australia looked awful. Miroslav Klose scored his 49th goal for Germany, and his 11th career World Cup goal, tying him for 5th all-time (the record is 14, held by fellow German Gerd Müller).

Great Goal, Better Song

Potential replacement for "Zombie Nation" if the Bruins ever score a goal again?

Soccer Is Ridiculous

BAGHDAD -- Police say an Iraqi soccer player has been shot dead just as he was about to kick what could have been the tying goal in a weekend game south of Baghdad.

Police Maj. Muthanna Khalid says a striker from the Buhairat amateur team was facing only the goalie during a Sunday match in Hillah when a supporter of the rival Sinjar club shot him in the head in the final minute of play.

Sinjar was leading 1-0 when the shooting occurred. Khalid said a spectator was arrested.

What the fuck is wrong with this world. He was on the field attempting a goal and someone shoots him. Is a game really worth someone's life? Honestly this is getting ridiculous and why would anyone want to play for these teams?

You Think The Red Sox Riots Were Anything?

Yesterday’s Sao Paulo/Corinthians derby got a little out of control and fast.

Why Not?

Why not watch an awesome soccer celebration?

Congo Riot Kills 11 Over Witchcraft

"At least 11 people were killed in a stadium riot in eastern Congo after a soccer player tried to use witchcraft to win a local match, U.N.-backed Radio Okapi reported on Monday."

Well first and foremost I don't want to sound insensitive to the people who died, but, that's probably what they deserved for thinking that witchcraft was real in the first place.
