Category: World FootballCristiano Ronaldo Sees Red for a WTF Moment
By: Laurie | 19 Comments
I’ve watched this video about five times, trying to get inside the mind of Cristiano Ronaldo to figure out WTF he was thinking when he two-handed the ball right in front of the goal.
The only guess I can come up with? “Not the face!”
I also found the reactions from [...]
Category: World FootballAdrian Bastia Sent Off for Tripping a Pitch Invader
By: Daryl | 11 Comments
Busy game for Asteras Tripolis player Adrian Bastia. Not only did he score a 70th minute equalizer against Panathinaikos (no vid, just story) in the Greek Super League – giving Asteras what we can assume to be a damn fine 1-1 draw away from home – but with full time approaching he ended a pitch [...]
Category: World FootballIOSS: Jose Meets With Drogba.
By: chris | 3 Comments
The week’s lineup: Jose uses tried and true methods to meet with old friend Didier Drogba; The Boy gets his own TV show and becomes the English Vanilla Ice; we finally get the real reasoning behind the Gallas outburst; and Jose auctions off his thong on television. Brilliant.

Bramble, under absolutely no pressure whatsoever, gets a pass and inexplicably chests it down to the on rushing Ishmael Miller who, coming as a complete surprise to no one, buries the error into the back of the net. Luckily Wigan were able to grab two back and thus the three points, and Titus gets to [...]

Expansion drafts in Europe?
Unnecessary showboating in Denmark.
The greatest flash of yellows known to man.
The women’s game has a Rory Delap too.
Should the Copa America be expanded?
Yoann Gourcuff does a Zizou, all of France fawns.
Viral videos disappoint, so we recall the good times.

Category: Daily DoseWhen Football Ads Were Football Ads
By: chris | 12 Comments
As Daryl mentioned, the age of the internet has enabled everything to be a little shorter, quicker and to the point. Unfortunately, many football ads have done more of the same. But remember when they were good? Like, really good? And it was a simple theory too: big shoe company gets tons of stars together, [...]
Category: World FootballKaka Juggles Two Balls [or: Viral Soccer Ads Jump the Shark]
By: Daryl | 6 Comments
Remember when viral ads were new and exciting? That seems a long time ago, right? This latest effort has Kaka juggling two balls at once. Except one of the balls is clearly CGI, so he’s not really juggling it. 101GG (where I spotted this) described the results as “breathtaking”, but I’d go the other way.
I’m [...]

By: Daryl | 5 Comments
Apparently not satisfied with just one viral ad campaign, Adidas has released and spread a pandemic of YouTube videos featuring famous footballers and the boots they wear. Or at least the boots they’re paid to wear.
I don’t want anyone to panic, but scientists estimate that unless action is taken immediately then the entire internet will [...]

Middlesbrough v Newcastle, 15:00
Saturday’s fixtures aren’t that exciting (Sunday’s where the action’s at.) But if you had to watch a Saturday game, watch this one. If only to see a possible comeback from Mark Viduka. If he partners Owen at any point, that’s officially the most injury prone strike partnership in world [...]

Today is Thanksgiving in the US, and we’ve decided, like most Americans will do, to go around our Offside round table and list some things we’re thankful for. For those who don’t know what Thanksgiving is, it’s the last Thursday in November when Americans control the turkey population and then unnecessarily gorge themselves on food [...]

The Cinderellas are in group B, not A.
Cluj was the underdog-come-good story to start out the campaign, and deservedly so. They beat Roma – though who didn’t earlier in the season – and nil-niled (yes, that’s a verb) with a then high-flying Chelsea team. Now, however, they’ve come back down to earth, and will be [...]

Category: Daily DoseExpansion Draft: Look Who Seattle Got for Thanksgiving
By: Laurie | 5 Comments
Here are the new players that Seattle Sounders FC, the new-in-2009 MLS team, just acquired in the expansion draft. Since Seattle’s early signings were a bit top-heavy, as expected they’ve gone for some defensive cover:
1. Nate Jaqua, forward (Houston Dynamo)
No surprise here. The rumor since Jaqua came back from Austria was that it [...]
