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.

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]

The Other Falcao Delights Again

Radamel might've made the big money move to the Principality, but he's still only the second best Falcao with a ball at his feet this side of Jupiter - it's anyone's guess from there. The Other Falcao, the futsal edition, is still going strong and probably the only somewhat known ...

Claudia Letizia Welcomes Rafa To Napoli

And she is very, very hospitable. Or welcoming. A quick Google will reveal...well it will reveal a lot. Such as Claudia is a very big fan of duck face, wet t-shirts, and more duck face. She's not a fan of clothing. This means she's like nearly every other Italian showgirl ...

The Problems Plaguing Brazil

If you've been paying attention to the pandemonium in Brazil, you might notice this football-mad country is pretty damn mad about some football, namely the World Cup (the Rio Olympics aren't helping either). Basically, just like everyone else who throws a big party, they're not happy with the costs and ...

Fun With Romanian Riot Police

Football is - sport in general, really - a great place for some creative hyperbole. "He shot it to the moon!" Well no, not really. "The defender has him in his back pocket." Diego Buonanotte or Maximiliano Moralez perhaps, but no one else. Today, we have a new one: "Boy, ...

Sebastien Squillaci Becomes Clark Kent

Call it a week, call it a month, call it a summer. The battle is over. "Can I just stay here with you?" "Definitely not." One needn't have paid the slightest attention to Sebastien Squillaci's time at Arsenal to find the genius in this video. Every club should have one. [101gg] ...

The Guardian has gone and shaken some salt into several open wounds by unveiling the twenty worst sitter misses of 2012-13. There are some solid names on the list, including Barcelona's fresh new 50m+ signing, and they don't discriminate based on gender, either, with Nicoletta den Ridder is a solid ...

Aruban Goalkeepers Gone Wild

Ketchup and mustard kits aside (no corner taken on color richness), this little clip from Aruba has so much going for it. From the mere fact it's a goalkeeper goal, to the Marco Tardelli-esque celebration of unadultered joy and childlike innocent, to the complete meltdown at the end by the ...
