World Cup 2010 Blog: “Howard Webb Honored For Missing Easiest Red Card Of 2010” plus 1 more |  |
| Howard Webb Honored For Missing Easiest Red Card Of 2010 Posted: 31 Dec 2010 10:40 AM PST Best tackle of 2010, no doubt about it – at least for our purposes of entertainment. Not quite the best refereeing decision, since it only merited a yellow card from Howard Webb, which is arguably one of the worst decisions of the year – certain when relative to the stage of the game. The queen has nonetheless offered Howard Webb an MBE in this new year. Probably for something more than just one game, but that one game included one of the worst decisions of 2010. There’s a joke in here about England’s World Cup standards, too. But she was probably just offering up an an excuse to post a Ninja De Jong clip. God save her, etc.

| Landycakes Goal Wins ESPN’s Top Play of the Year Posted: 31 Dec 2010 08:30 AM PST Soccerball doesn’t get much pub in the States outside of World Cup years and, occasionally, the Premiership, so it’s a rather big deal when ESPN tabs a football goal its play of the year. And I’m not sure how official this is – ’twas simply the top play in their year end review, which is probably enough. The goal was uberdramatic, but Landon’s still got a long, long way to go before he even approaches the lofty levels of the Iniesta baby-making stratosphere. (Though he does seem to be a bit more hands-on in his efforts, if ultimately unsuccessful.)
