World Cup 2010 Blog: “Cassano’s Superman Streaker Returns With A Kiss” plus 1 more |  |
| Cassano’s Superman Streaker Returns With A Kiss Posted: 08 Sep 2010 09:00 AM PDT You may remember Mario Ferri from the World Cup, back when he was giving Marcello Lippi the old “I told you so” over his refusal to call up Antonio Cassano. Well, new coach Cesare Prandelli has called up the mad genius and with predictable results – he’s quite good at football, you know. So Mario, ultimately very pleased with these new developments, streaked onto the Franchi pitch last night, having hid in a bathroom since he’s banned in Italian stadia, during Italy-Faroe Islands to show his appreciation with a kiss for Antonio and a thumbs up for an amused Prandelli. In the end, it’s all about the love.

| Goofing Goalkeepers and Slide Tackling Strikers Posted: 08 Sep 2010 07:09 AM PDT
The most embarrassing of the two errors came from Spain’s Pepe Reina, deputizing for the World Cup winning Iker Casillas in the friendly against Argentina. Reina slipped while swinging at the ball for a routine kick up field, and the ever-alert, ever-willing-to-run Carlos Tevez beat Reina to the loose ball and scored with a very manly slide tackle. Argentina won the game 4-1, and Iker Casillas won’t lose any sleep over getting his place back. Spain and Liverpool fans be warned, the video of Reina’s goof is below: Arguably the more important error came from Portugal goalkeeper Eduardo in a Euro 2012 qualifying game vs Norway. Eduardo took too long to clear the ball, allowing gigantic Norwegian striker John Carew to charge in with a slide tackle, which deflected the ball to Erik Huseklepp to score: Norway won 1-0, and Portugal’s Euro 2012 qualifying campaign is looking all kinds of bad.

Two of my favourite things in football combined not once but twice in yesterday’s international games, as a goalkeeper’s goof was met with a striker’s slide tackle in two separate games.| You are subscribed to email updates from World Cup Soccer - South Africa 2010 To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
