Represent!

Gearing up for game time tomorrow. I'm so excited and nervous I don't know what to do with myself. I want to give a shout out to Weezer front-man Rivers Cuomo. If this little ditty doesn't get you excited for the match- there's something wrong with you!

Maradona... Say What?

Oh dear. He's at it again. Delivering his typical random comments Maradona went on a rant. With some signature sound bites, he said Pele should "go back to the museum" after Pele was quoted saying Maradona only took the Argentinian managerial job because he needed the money.

It only took him one game, a winning debut in fact to start the drama. Even French legend Michel Platini was not spared.

"We all know how the French are, and Platini is French and believes he is better
than the rest."~ Maradona

Maradona also went on to complain about the match ball used in the tournament. Here's a memo to Diego: Dude- you won! Stop your complaining and wait until you have something to whine about.

So far Maradona has only caused drama off the field, but I am just waiting to see him go bonkers on the field. I feel it's coming. One bad call and it's on like Donkey Kong! I can't wait to watch tomorrow's game at 7am. It will be a great way to start my day and definetly give me some water cooler chat if he goes off.

On another note, did anyone else notice how he was busting out of his suit during their first game? Now there's something to complain about. Call your dry cleaner Diego, they shrunk your suit and call McDonald's they obviously super-sized your value meals.

Judge for yourselves and rate his moves!



I'm not a Maradona hater. He was an amazing player, and gives an even better press conference.

Jozy's Tea Party

Ok just wanted to add a great clip from ESPN. In the hype leading up to the match between USA v. England, SportsNation invited Jozy Altidore to a tea party. Check it out!

World Cup Time!

It's finally here and I'm finally posting (again). Break out your Vuvuzela and put on your team kit and scarf! The World Cup is the best month of sports if you ask me. It's the only time when I can go into a pub at 8am and not be judged. Ah yes, pour me a pint and bring me an English breakfast.

Thirty-two teams going after one odd looking gold trophy. A few days into the tournament and already there are memorable moments.

Match Day 1: Siphiwe Tshabalala scores the first goal in the 2010 World Cup for South Africa!

A great moment for the host nation as Bafana Bafana played with the passion and emotion it takes to move on in the tournament.

Match Day 2: USA vs. England: A Tie Is A Win!

England got off to a flying start as England and Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard scored the game's first goal in the fourth minute. After the goal, the US seemed to settle down and play liked they belonged on the same pitch as the Three Lions. A scary moment in the 29th minute as Emile Heskey slid into US Goalie Tim Howard's ribs. He was down for awhile, as US supporters looked on in disbelief. Rumor is Tim had a painkiller injection at halftime.

We can't avoid the elephant in the room with the awesome British accent. We must discuss "The Goal." It came in the 40th minute. Clint Dempsey who plays for Fulham in the English Premier League, twist and turned outside the box and then let go a seemingly harmless shot. That's when "it" happened. English goaltender, Robert Green will now live in infamy for one of the most embarrassing moments. For the US fans, the best way to describe it is Bill Buckner at Shea Stadium during the 1986 World Series. Yup, it was that bad. Butterfingers, if you will. Here is an amazing reenactment courtesy of guardian.co.uk.





Well that's all for now. Stay tuned.
