World Cup 2010 Blog: “Adrian Mutu Is Banned From Something. Shock. Awe.” plus 1 more

Adrian Mutu Is Banned From Something. Shock. Awe. Posted: 11 Aug 2011 09:38 AM PDT Outside of doing lines off a hooker’s tender parts – presumably – is Adrian Mutu really a bad boy, or just an idiot? Both are probably on the scale, but the weight seems to shift towards the latter. His latest “drug ban” was for weight-loss supplements, after all. It’s not like he rock-star smashed up his hotel or anything, but rather consumed some adult beverages a couple of nights before a game. Not terribly rebellious, just stupid. And he’s been banned for life from the Romanian national team for it. Because that’s just what Adrian Mutu does – get banned from stuff. Gabriel Tamas was sucked into his vicious vortex as well. Less fun for him as he’s 27 and Mutu is 32. “The two players have been expelled for life from the national team”, Piturca stressed. “It’s a pity but rules are strict and they should have known it,” he added. Local media said that Mutu and Tamas, who had been involved in drinking bouts before, had gone out partying on Monday evening despite strict orders from the coach. A bit difficult to blame them for not taking a friendly against the mighty Most Serene Republic of San Marino seriously, however. Nonetheless, Adrian Mutu: excluded. As you were.

Hey, Something Actually Came Out Of International Friendly Week Posted: 11 Aug 2011 07:27 AM PDT (All apologies to Northern Ireland and the Faroes…mostly the poor Faroes.) Aside from infuriating injuries and some pretty decent highlight goals, anyway. Shockingly, the happenings actually came from North America. For serious. Where Jurgen Klinsmann somewhat stole the show with his dancing and goal celebrations. He’s like a skinny Maradona, but less of a coke problem and more likable. Oh, and someone messed their pants. Or Omar Aranello forgot to remove the packet of hot sauce clenched betwixt his thighs before entering the pitch. One of these scenarios is more likely than the other. It’s not the hot sauce. [101gg]

World Cup 2010 Blog: The Nigerian Kids Can Play

The Nigerian Kids Can Play Posted: 04 Aug 2011 07:53 AM PDT Going into youth tournaments, Nigeria is often considered one of the powerhouses, while also having their birth certificates considered very suspicious. The two aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive… So they set about proving people wrong by both demolishing Croatia, amidst this epic strike from Terna Suswam, and then setting down for what seemed like it was going to be a child’s game of Duck, Duck, Goose before it was rudely interrupted. See. Good and young.

It Appears Spain Is Just Better Than Everyone Else Posted: 01 Aug 2011 01:51 PM PDT So we know Spain as a nation is running through an extraordinary period of domination, and we also know that there appears to be little let-up for the rest of the poor world, as their youth teams are simply excellent. How excellent? Well they just won the u19 Euros today, defeating the Czech Republic. That puts their current trophy haul at… World Cup European Championships u21 Euros u19 Euros And they’re considered the favorites in the current u20 World Cup. It appears all they have left to do is master that pesky u17 business.

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). ii. Larissa Riquelme would streak in the nude, which seems redundant (not streaking in the nude, but Larissa Riquelme being nude). 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. However, the best was truly saved for last, when the “fair play” trophy was handed to none other than Diego Lugano. Yes, that Diego Lugano. An award for the Uruguayan team, nonetheless… The look on his face says it all, really. Diego knows where the bodies are buried.
