Ivory Coast vs. North Korea – Disappointed

The Ivory Coast had a hollow victory today vs. North Korea. You can check out the match recap here. Before the tournament, a tie vs. Portugal, loss to Brazil, and win against North Korea appeared the most likely and thus plausible path to advancing out of this group of death. However, the North Korean capitulation in the second half gifted the Portuguese an insurmountable goal difference. That, and Brazil played their B team against Cristiano Ronaldo and company, all but ensuring an uneventful draw.

Post Mortem & the Importance of Pride

June 22nd, 2010 | By: Elliott | Comments Comments(0)

So, I took a day to collect my thoughts and recover from the atrocious results on Sunday. Portugal’s 7-0 demolition of North Korea and the ‘Coast’s 3-1 loss to Brazil has created a difficult situation for advancement. More alarming, the ‘Coast never looked capable of troubling the mighty Brazilians. Despite decent organization in the midfield and dedication to defense, we ... [read more]

Brazil vs. Ivory Coast Liveblog – A Warning

June 17th, 2010 | By: Elliott | Comments Comments(7)

Truth be told, our last liveblog spooked out a few readers. Somewhere, somehow, the Algerian commenter who wrote in all caps screams and moans in joy and confusion and agony. Behind him lurk the dead-live-blog zombies, thirsty for blog and extended soccer blog metaphors. But fear not, gentle reader, those zombies have been laid to rest. Rather, for the match ...

Ivory Coast v. Portugal: Recap, Ruminations…

June 15th, 2010 | By: Elliott | Comments Comments(2)

This, my friends, was as tightfisted a game as one can see. Both sides feared pushing numbers forward, with the result that clear cut chances failed to materialize. Still, with this gaping desert of defense as a backdrop, a few oasis of attacking prowess could be spotted, hazily fading into and out of view like a mirage. Still, a few ... [read more]

Pippo Scores, Tiziano Crudeli Weeps

This is, incredibly, not too far off the norm for Tiziano Crudeli, journalist, commentator and Milan fan extraodinaire. He's a touch passionate about the Rossoneri and as one would expect, more than a touch passionate for icon Pippo Inzaghi's last game for the club on the weekend. Standard fare... And then ...

Enjoy Landycakes enjoying some First Bottom. In a room of armed men hell bent on protecting the object of his lurid fantasies at all costs. Or maybe they're there hunting down that dude straight out of the WWII flick on the left, looking like he's about to pillage something. (No comment.) And ...

Torching Burnt Bridges With Samir Nasri

Cripes, Manchester City's all over the place these days. One supposes with that ending they're allowed to be. Also: money's compelling. Don't ever think otherwise. They won the title this weekend after spending oodles and oodles of money the last few seasons. One oodle was Samir Nasri, you might recall, ...

The Charging Wolves Fan

Who knew Wolves - Wigan would have the best scene of the EPL weekend? Some bolder than thou Wolves fan sauntered into a March of the Cantaloupes and charged scores of Wigan fans. Presumably he had a decent reason. Or was reasonably sauced. One of those. Even better, all the ...

Felipe Melo Finds His Fire Hydrant

For no apparent reason, the canine urination celebration is taking hold of Europe. Or it's happened twice off the top of my head, which is far too many and certainly deserving of pandemic status. The first was Zenit's Danny, merely celebrating a goal. Now Felipe Melo was so excited by ...

The Stop-Motion England Introduction

This is both wonderful and a wonderful departure from the standard footballing related videos you'll find on the YouTube.
