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.

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.

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.

Does the trophy typically require protection with semi-automatic weapons?

One would think normally it would not.
