| Cover Your Ears! Vuvuzela World Record Attempt Tonight Posted: 23 Jul 2009 09:43 AM PDT
The vuvuzelatasic world record attempt will take place tonight at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth, where South African teams Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs will play to decide who faces Man City in the final of the Vodacom Challenge. The good people from Guinness World Records (who somehow combine drinking with accurate fact checking) will be there to adjudicate while as many fans as possible for a 30 second duration. It’s not clear what the final total of simultaneous hornblowers will be, but apparently the first 20,000 through the gate will receive a free instrument (corporate sponsored of course). So the number should be 20,000, plus whoever brings their own. If you’re part of the crowd that wishes death to the vuvuzela, you’ll want to get as far from Port Elizabeth as humanly possible this evening. But if, like me, you think the little plastic horn is basically harmless and can actually sound very pleasant in the right hands… then you should probably still flee in terror. Because there’s now way 20,00+ vuvuzelas blowing for 30 consecutive seconds is going to sound good. |

| Gold CUpdates, Quarterfinals, Day 2: Mexico vs. Haiti, Costa Rica vs. Guadeloupe. Not Even Close Posted: 19 Jul 2009 06:27 PM PDT Two blowouts today. Anybody else as surprised as I am? I think I expected the end results, but NOT the scorelines in either case. Costa Rica 5-1 Guadeloupe
They were hoping for a similar miracle this year, but the storyline didn’t quite work out as hoped. Guadeloupe’s coach, Roger Salnot, was quoted going into the tournament as saying that they’d be disappointed with anything less than a return to the semis. Right about now, they’ve got to be pretty disappointed. Costa had goals from Celso Borges (great bicycle goal!), Andy Herron, Pablo Herrera Barrantes, and two by Alvaro Saborio. Mexico 4-0 Haiti Mexico has to be one of the most maddeningly inconsistent teams in the world right now. They go through stretches of medicre-to-suck play, then they come through in a hugeway. This game was one of those “come through huge” games. Must say, I expected a bit more fight out of Haiti, who looked strong in the group stages even while losing to Honduras, then gave the US a scare. But today, Mexico was definitely the better team, with two goals by Miguel Sabah and one each from Giovani Dos Santos and Pablo Barrera. I’m thinking Haiti may want to use the next couple of years to work on set pieces. First goal, a penalty rebound by Miguel Sabah Second goal, Giovani Dos Santos Third goal, Pablo Herrera Fourth goal, Sabah Semifinal matchups: Thursday, July 23, Chicago (Times revised. Pretty sure these are the right ones now!) 6:00 p.m. Central time, USA vs. Honduras 9:00 p.m. Central, Costa Rica vs. Mexico |
