World Cup 2010 Blog: Uruguay Takes Care Of Business, While Diego Lugano Takes Care Of The Evidence |  |
| Uruguay Takes Care Of Business, While Diego Lugano Takes Care Of The Evidence Posted: 25 Jul 2011 09:40 AM PDT Two things could’ve happened had Paraguay reigned victorious at the Copa America, making them something of a fan favorite: i. Won the tournament without actually awinning a game to get there (5 games, 3 draws, 2 PK wins). However, the former is a bit less than ideal from a standpoint which considers the integrity and validity of the competition, while the latter is rendered moot by Google Images, if a bit less jiggly. Plus Uruguay is, you know, seriously good and deserving champions – the Suarez/Forlan strike duo really is just the business. The look on his face says it all, really. Diego knows where the bodies are buried.

World Cup 2010 Blog: Fun With Postgames At The Copa America | |
| Fun With Postgames At The Copa America Posted: 21 Jul 2011 07:31 AM PDT The Copa America, while a fascinating study in the underdog, has sort of gone off without yet having a single defining moment, if Fernando Muslera’s double save and Brazil’s complete penalty implosion are inching ever closer. Thankfully, Paraguay and Venezuela fixed that nicely by closing out the former’s penalty win in the semifinal with a nice, big postgame brawl. Suddenly feels like everything’s back to normal.

| Polkraine 2012 Has Great Potential Posted: 20 Jul 2011 09:23 AM PDT Does the trophy typically require protection with semi-automatic weapons? One would think normally it would not.

World Cup 2010 Blog: “There’s No Place Like South America” plus 1 more | |
| There’s No Place Like South America Posted: 18 Jul 2011 07:50 AM PDT So as wonderful as the Women’s World Cup has been, the Copa America has been just epic from the standpoint of a simple question: “Who?” Was anyone expecting that much the summer after a full Euro season + World Cup year? Nay. Gaslights are all on, have been on, and the needles are about to break off. However, what’s happened is nonetheless astonishing: Peru, Uruguay, Paraguay, Venezuela. On paper, that should read as the list of teams which have been knocked out before the semis. But no, those are the semifinalists. They should rename this thing The Great Choke-Off of 2011. In fact, Brazil put on one of the worst penalty showings in the long history of watching football these eyes have ever seen, but the true hero is Nando Muslera, who displayed arguably the greatest save of the year, and you’re a liar, liar, pants on fire if you were watching this game and didn’t leap from your seat in utter disbelief after watching this double walk-on-water. And thus we were left with the Copa Cinderella 2011. Anyone who put their hard-earned on Uruguay before the tournament should be feeling pretty damn good about themselves at this point.

| Everybody’s A Bit Japanese Today Posted: 18 Jul 2011 07:35 AM PDT Hope Solo was battered and bruised, but that doesn’t matter when you can’t hit your penalties and you’re going up against the power of flower anyway. Or perhaps radioactively-enhanced athletes. (Good short-term, bad long?) Japan, as everyone has heard, has won the Women’s World Cup, and it’s a bit of a big deal for them, proving that heart and good juju in the face of national crisis and adversity can bring home titles and fans, as the world – especially America – applauds. So does this mean the DRC is going to win the 2014 World Cup?
