Mexicans In Europe 9/12-13/09

Coming back from the international break, many players were left off the team sheets and deemed too tired to participate in competitions…or they’re just Gio Dos Santos and Nery Castillo.

Mexicans In Europe 8/29-30/09

After a long week, the leagues will wind down to get ready for an international break.

Mexicans in Europe 8/12-16/09

A new season is upon us, and although several leagues are up and running already we’re just beginning our coverage. We have some old faces, some new faces, and some that we’re not really sure of.
The Spanish league has yet to resume, but there is still some form of play going on there. Elsewhere, [...]

Diego Maradona: The Middle Finger of God?

March 5th, 2010 | By: Daryl | Comments Comments(8)

The video above (spotted on DT) is of Diego Maradona's press conference after his Argentina team beat Germany 1-0 in Munich. Don't worry if you no hablo español, because the real focus here is Maradona's body language. Is he just scratching a persistent itch? Or is he not so subtly [read more]

How to Say "World Cup" in 36 Languages

March 4th, 2010 | By: Daryl | Comments Comments(39)

The World Cup is a global event. Every nation on earth watches, and talks about. Even if your nation isn't one of the lucky 32 that gets to compete, you're still oddly involved (speaking from personal experience there, unfortunately). Even non-football fans watch. Which is insane when you think about it.

But not everyone speaks English, so not everyone calls this tournament the World Cup. In French it's the Coupe du Monde. In German the Weltmeisterschaft. In Spanish the Copa do Mundo La Copa Mundial and in Italian the Coppa del Mondo Il Mondiale. And in Hindi it's विश्व कप, which I have no idea how to pronounce.

But given some of the commercials of the time, this one was positively brilliant. [read more]

Guus Hiddink: Football's Town Bicycle.

March 4th, 2010 | By: chris | Comments Comments(3)

Forget John Terry, Vanessa Perroncel and Ashley Cole's little - or big - black book, Guus Hiddink is blowing their whoring ways out of the European water. He's never quite been a one-club man - frequent flier miles between Sydney and Eindhoven tell enough of a story - but Guus is entering into unchartered territories with his latest contract.

I mean country. [read more]

Leo Messi: The Hat-Trick Scoring UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador

Seems Leo Messi can do no wrong. On Friday he became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, a role that will involve speaking out on behalf of impoverished children. That alone deserves a pat on the back.
