Wednesday World Cup kickaround

I mentioned this on a previous thread, but if Sasha ca be cut form camp and go to Anderlecht, then Bornstein is headed to Chelsea.

Safari spam. Mmmmmmmmmm.

They all taste like chicken.

Two Latin Amerinca teams. Should be a dive fest.

If Bornstein is headed to Chelsea, where does that put Dempsey and Donovan? I can hear The Special One now - "Sit down, Xabi. Sit down, Kaka!"

one of yesterday's matches just looked desolate with empty seats. Think it was the NZ match, even the vuvuzela volume was low until that final goal in stoppage time.

Anderlecht is double stupid, to sign Kljestan and then again to pay for him when they could have got him for free.

Also enjoyable:
"You can't just rely on speed. There are going to be times where you've got to rely on your touch, you've got to be thinking, you've got to read the game."

Findley should really tell Bradley this, and not just Buddle as penance for losing a game of FIFA 2010.

Anderlecht paid to get him at the start of their season, rather than in January when the transfer window opens again.

Since there will probably be no BECKHAM references in this early game, I am drinking for every bad tackle. I may not make it to halftime.

"You can't just rely on speed. There are going to be times where you've got to rely on your touch..."

That's what she said.

JkR killing the INSIDER LOYALISTS fantasy picks.

I can't believe there's a fantasy league that I missed.

Very entertaining first half. Honduras is definitely playing a counterattacking strategy, but Pavon is killing them. They are very impatient, and are taking any shot they can get -- and they are all long-range. Amado Guevara is playing very, very deep.

No diving yet. And the Chile fans are representing well. Mati Fernandez showing well.
Meanwhile, Chile looks as good as I was expecting, even with Suazo out.

750k is way more than MLS ever made off Kljestan. Good sale and good luck. I hope he turns into a National team player by playing in Belgium.

Iniesta (and Mata, which is a surprise) to play for Spain today.

Now we know what happens to substandard referees.

Make sure you get some fresh ostrich while in SA! Best steak I ever had.

Quoted for truth....

glad to see the seldom-used 'pate' blog tag getting a run out.

BTW "2nd round" matches start today in the fifa predictor -- you have to click on R.2 to find them.

If they tie, will we see obdurate Hondurans?

Good move for Kljestian. Hopefully he can develop his game a tad more and turn into a USMNT player. Dissapointed I actually have had to do work this morning and missed the game. I'll watch it later. Plus I promised my girlfriend I'd wait and watch the Spain game with her after work. Luckily, I have the ability to watch the same game twice.

I think I'll have to follow the games online today -- just not enough to do to keep my preoccupied.

Yo Honduras: use of hands, illegal. Use of brains, allowed.

Apparently there were some US Open Cup games last night.

That was a Welcome shot.

Only Tirico and Lalas in the studio, doubling Lalas' time on the microphone. Did Gullit and Martinez decide that they couldn't take any more of the ginger giant?

We get to see Seattle's latest signing...I didn't know he made the team.

I think Switzerland will play for a tie.

Daily Glenn Davis radio buffoonery update: He said "irregardless" during the Honduras-Chile match.

Thanks for the reminder on the predictor Reignking. A hardy Vuvuzela blast for your commitment to fair play.

I think Switzerland will play for a tie.

Too bad Spain played for a loss.
