Football
here we go
I would like to see Chris Coleman manage the US National Team.
There, I said it.
My new favorite team
Eto'o to KuruvchiSorry, Fulham. I have a new favorite team, and it is PFC Kuruvchi of the Uzbekistani League. Apparently, they have made a serious bid to sign Samuel Eto'o from Barcelona. I'm not one to believe every silly transfer rumor I hear, but come on...they even have pictures of Eto'o meeting with club officials on their website!
I love ridiculous things. Even if this is made up (and the pictures are photoshopped), I give this club a ton of credit for their sense of humor alone.
Touchdown Hargreaves!
The Manchester United Hype Machine
Saw an article today about Cristiano Ronaldo's free-kick goal yesterday against Portsmouth. For the tl;dr crew, he says that it was his "best-ever goal". It went on with Alex Ferguson quotes gushing about how great Cristiano Ronaldo is.
Am I missing something? Every team has a set piece specialist who can score goals like that. Hameur Bouazza had one earlier this year (video below). Freddy Eastwood knocked Man Utd out of the Carling Cup last season with a free-kick almost identical to Ronaldo's goal.
Or perhaps it is just a case of Manchester United shirt = better than.
New Site
I've been working on a new football site, called Championship At Best. My football-related posts have been going there recently, and existing posts here will all eventually find there way over there.
I have lots of new features planned, though not many have been implemented yet. Have a look!
