Nike Donovan Hero Tee Review
The USMNT is ready to get some success stories rolling in 2011 after some relatively disappointing games (see Spain loss with even Fernando Torres scoring). They’ll be led by perhaps one of the most storied players in the country’s history, the continually balding but ever amazing Landon Donovan. The 3rd […] -
Beautiful Argentinan “Ghost Goal” Disallowed by Incompetent Ref
Gonzalo Bazan scored this beauty in the Argentinian second division during a match last week, but thanks to hapless or corrupt refs the goal was disallowed. Presiding official Luis Alvarez defended his decision saying: “We did not give the goal because we did not see it. We are not allowed […] -

Real Madrid Are Going on a World Tour, Will Be In US in July

Real Madrid are going on a world tour, and they’ve released this video to get people amped for it. If I could afford the ridiculous prices they’re sure to charge for these games I’d go, but I ‘d go see Barcelona v. Manchester United in DC before watching Ronaldo and […] -
FIFA’s Presidential Election: in Pictures
Not much else can be said about whats wrong with FIFA, and its leadership. Suffice to say nepotism seems to be the name of the game in Zurich these days. But here are the results anyway. Result: Blatter re-elected, corruption rampant, England marginalized, World Cup still to be played in […]
