Some things to read as you wonder whether there are any footballers out there who sing worse than Florent Malouda:

(Via Football Is Coming Home)

• Happy Father’s Day to all the soccer dads out there. (And to one dad in particular) (Weekend Warrior Offside)
• John Terry = Planet’s Best Father? (Chelsea Offside)
• How much does ESPN value soccer? About as much as they value tractor pulls. (To add insult to injury, Seattle had moved the game up by half an hour because ESPN told them it fit their schedule better.) (Next Season Sports)
• Tell us who you’d like your club to sign this summer (EPL Offside)
• An AC Milan fan has fun with Kaka’s Wikipedia entry. (Warning. Contains bad words and may therefore be NSFW.) (Dirty Tackle)
• Even multimillionaires have it rough these days: Xabi Alonso warns that taxing players will drive them out of England. (Anfield Talk)
• Why British sport needs a quiet revolution (The Guardian)
• Celebrations for beating Italy + Prostitutes + Theft + Police = Confederations Cup. Now that’s good football (101 Great Goals)

Weekend Quiz Note: Okay, so I know I promised you Weekend Quiz scoring today, but I lied. I just spent too damn much time and energy watching the Confederations Cup, and then recovering from it. I’ll slip the post in sometime tomorrow between or after Daryl’s and Chris’s.
