Usain Bolt — Soccer Player

Remember when Michael Jordan thought he could play baseball?
What is it with the elite athletes thinking they can play anything? Usain Bolt says he wants to kick a ball when he gets done running.
“I always watch those guys and I think I could be a professional footballer. I’ll try that — maybe I could [...]

[picappgallerysingle id="8606769"]What is it about Paris Hilton? Who is she? Why is she important? Ok. I get it. She’s pretty. And, she has A LOT of money. So, while the world watches the most important thing in sports…the World Cup, there’s Paris Hilton.
It seems that Paris is in South Africa and she has found a [...]
World Cup Gone Sad
Posted by Michael Emdeyar on June 28th, 2010
[picappgallerysingle id="9150151"]A guy in Texas got way too wrapped up in the World Cup. This is soccer, right? During the US-Ghana match on Saturday, a dad was distracted by his crying 2-year-old stepdaughter. Never distract dad while he’s trying to watch soccer.
According to USA Today:
The girl was severely beaten, and police said a screw or [...]
Ghana — Seriously?
Posted by Michael Emdeyar on June 27th, 2010
[picappgallerysingle id="4939684"]Soccer isn’t a primary sport in the United States. It couldn’t be proven more than the fact that the US was eliminated from the World Cup by the African country of Ghana.
Here, football is touchdowns and linebackers and concussions. It’s not “goooaaaalllll!”
Landon Donovan and Jozy Altidore make a nice story. But, ask the question of who’s [...]
Paul the German Octopus and the World Cup
Posted by Michael Emdeyar on June 24th, 2010
[picappgallerysingle id="4551762"]Seriously? We should place our bets for the World Cup on the selection of an octopus?
The Germans seem to have Paul the octopus. And, Paul’s been doing this since at least 2008, when Germany was playing in the European Championships. Paul is given the choice of two boxes, representing the World [...]
France Takes Ball, Goes Home

“Everyone in the whole world is mocking us now. I’m gutted, because we’re not playing football any more.”
France winger Franck Ribery
It’s starts with some mediocre to bad soccer play. Then, a player is thrown off the team for a profanity-laced tirade against the team’s coach. Now, the French World Cup team is refusing to [...]
The World Cup, The Marlins and the Vuvuzela

[picappgallerysingle id="9067298"]
The Florida Marlins became the first major league baseball team to hand out those nasty stadium horns, the vuvuzelas, to fans at last night’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Seriously? Somebody in the Marlins marketing team thought THAT would be a good idea?
I tried to watch some World Cup soccer last week. I was [...]
A Ghastly Blunder
Posted by Michael Emdeyar on June 13th, 2010
So, the underdog United States comes up with a 1-1 tie against England in the opener of the 2010 World Cup. Not many gave the US a chance to get even a point to open the championship. They should get a point-and-a-half for style points just for how the game-tying goal scored.
Terry Butcher of London’s [...]
The U.S. and the World Cup
Posted by Michael Emdeyar on June 2nd, 2010
[picappgallerysingle id="7759990"]The World Cup is about to get started in South Africa. The World, perhaps sans the U.S., is very excited. ESPN will want Americans to be excited. But, I’m not so sure.
Yet, the United States is already looking forward to 2018 and 2022 and the opportunity to host the world soccer championship. Today, the [...]
