Photopoll: Argentina & Brazil Bursting At The Seams.

Posted: 02 Sep 2009 02:10 PM PDT

This is, like, the biggest game EVER. It’s Diego’s inaugural run as coach against the most despised Brazilians, and with tickets now on sale (Wednesday, not Thursday, as reported Monday) security is left quite literally holding back the masses. It’s like the Backstreet Boys circa 1998 (including the fat guy in charge).

So let’s ask: which team will these fine fans see come out the victors?

September 2009 FIFA World Rankings

Posted: 02 Sep 2009 07:59 AM PDT

The best part of the monthly rankings release is looking at the change in ratings for particular teams and wondering, “what the hell did they do to deserve that?”. The answer is almost always “absolutely nothing”, which is wonderful. Take for instance defending champions Italy, whose nil-nil friendly draw with Switzerland was apparently enough of a showing to vault them above Germany to 4th in this month’s rankings.

Which is why the ELO World Rankings are below FIFA’s for comparison. And respect.

So desired there’s already a line forming outside of Gigante de Arroyito Stadium. Not abnormal for a game of this magnitude. One thing though…

Tickets go on sale Thursday.

How to Say “World Cup” in 36 Languages

Posted: 28 Aug 2009 06:10 AM PDT

The World Cup is a global event. Every nation on earth watches, and talks about. Even if your nation isn’t one of the lucky 32 that gets to compete, you’re still oddly involved (speaking from personal experience there, unfortunately). Even non-football fans watch. Which is insane when you think about it.

But not everyone speaks English, so not everyone calls this tournament the World Cup. In French it’s the Coupe du Monde. In German the Weltmeisterschaft. In Spanish the Copa do Mundo and in Italian the Coppa del Mondo. And in Hindi it’s विश्व कप, which I have no idea how to pronounce.

Below is a list of every translation I could find, from Afrikaans to Hebrew to Welsh…

Afrikaans: Wêreldbeker
Arabic: كأس العالم
Belarusian: Кубак свету
Bulgarian: Световно първенство
Catalan: Copa del Món
Chinese: 世界杯
Czech: Světový pohár
Finnish: Maailmancup
French: Coupe du Monde
Galician: Campionato do Mundo
German: Weltmeisterschaft
Greek: Παγκόσμιο Κύπελλο
Hebrew: גביע העולם
Hindi: विश्व कप
Hungarian: Világ Kupa
Icelandic: Heimsmeistarakeppnin
Indonesian: Piala Dunia
Irish: Corn an Domhain
Italian: Coppa del Mondo Il Mondiale
Japanese: W杯
Korean: 세계 축구
Lithuanian: Pasaulio čempionatas
Malay: Piala Dunia
Maltese: Tazza tad-Dinja
Persian: جام جهانی
Portuguese: Copa do Mundo
Romanian: Cupa Mondială
Russian: Кубок мира
Serbian: Светско првенство
Slovakian: Svetový pohár
Spanish: Copa do Mundo
Swedish: Världscupen (aka VM)
Thai: ฟุตบอลโลก
Turkish: Dünya Kupası
Ukrainian: Кубок світу
Vietnamese: Cúp bóng đá thế giới
Welsh: Cwpan y Byd

Since this list was mostly put together using Google Translate and internet forums, it’s very very possible that some of the above is incorrect. Maybe some of the above are the words “World” and “Cup” correctly translated, but the tournament is actually called something else in that language.

So any corrections or additions are welcomed in the comments. Phonetic pronunciations for the more unfamiliar looking languages also welcome.
