Weekend Dose: 12.21.08

By: Laurie | December 21st, 2008

Some news to read as you watch a holiday video so completely, incredibly and utterly wrong that even I cannot make myself embed it on this site. (Probably NSFW. Unless your work is good with tunefully flatulent male chimpanzees.)

  • Nicolas Anelka wants a post-football acting career. (Mock if you will. His grunt while being held hostage by the beautiful model in that commercial sounded quite sincere.) (Sniffing the Touchline)
  • The dichotomy of El Hadji Diouf: An @$$, perhaps, but a charitable one. (Vanguard)
  • Oh! Look! How adorable! Little Yoann Gourcuff and his daddy, in matching 90s mullets! (Bordeaux Offside)
  • How genetics explain performance of athletes, and thoughts on genetic testing of young players. (Science of Soccer Online)
  • La Liga: Where the opposing owners hang out together during the game (Soccer Training Info)
  • Beckham explains his Milan decision. (And it has nothing to do with being a fame whore. No. Really. Nothing at all. /galaxy_fan_bitterness.) (BBC Sport)
  • On a lighter note, here are the only Italian phrases Becks will need to know. (Goal.com)
  • And, to prove that Seattle can do this Designated Player thing just as well as LA, Sounders FC’s very own underwear model, Freddie Ljungberg, may miss the start of the season. (Seattle PI)

    Skype comment from Chris: “I love how a “Weekend Dose” is really just your excuse to link “a bunch of shit Laurie likes”: Anelka, Gourcuff, Beckham, Beckham, Seattle.”

    And I’m like, “Um, yeah. Your point?”

    Oh, P.S. Chris? You forgot “flatulent chimpanzees.”
