After reading the article - I'm reminded of the movie "In Bruges" when Colin Farrell knocks out the Canadian in the restaurant, thinking he was an American.

Championship would be better. Vuvuzela Night at the New Den when Millwall take on Leeds!
Congrats to Spain. Wondered why they wore red for the presentation, until I saw the star over the crest... Poor Dutch, looks like their kits with the gold star are off to eBay!

If the goal counted, the game would have swung in England's favour for sure...
But with the English defence having such a poor game, I'm sure Germany would've regained the lead sooner rather then later. Seeing Upson get worked by Klose made me cry. :(

Easy way for FIFA to fix this mess.
Fire all their refs and bring in NBA officials :o)

That 2nd Tevez goal was amazing. Best of the tournament so far, IMO.
REALLY looking forward to Germany/Argentina. Should be a good one.

Disgusting. These people are not prostesters, they are thugs. Plain and simple.
Holy crap! Money well spent I see.

If England wear their all red kits again, see if it's possible to put the AIG logo on Rooney's shirt. Make him feel at home again.

Congrats to the Black Stars. Certainly have the best goal celebrations at the World Cup.
Pathetic that SK/Uruguay wasn't a sellout. It seemed like most of the stadium emptied once the rain began to fall in the 2nd half, but at least the supporters of both teams stayed in their seats getting soaked chanting and singing. Great job by both.

You need to check the brackets again, that final four is not possible at this tournament :). Portugal/Argentina are ok, but the Netherlands and Brazil at best would play in the quarters. Uruguay, Ghana, SK, or the States will fill one semi-final spot... which is crazy.
and I'm with you smithinjapan, Portugal/Brazil cured insomnia.

One problem if they go ahead with a Karate Kid remake sequel. Jaden Smith's love interest looks too young to be dating a UCLA football player....
Shook my head when I heard Hollywood is remaking Let the Right One In. The book and movie are incredible, so I don't know how Hollywood can approve on the original.

Was pulling for New Zealand, but at least they go undefeated in the tournament. Not bad at all!
Hard to believe both finalists from the '06 Finals are out. Craziness.

What's with the French refusing to shake hands? Arsene Wenger does that from time to time as well. :-p
Rumour has it, Bordeaux's manager Laurent Blanc is next in line for the job.

Vuvuzelas banned at Wimbledon? Man, that would've been entertaining. Serena Williams getting ready to serve, then "BRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrr!"
Might as well let the Gooners use the vuvuzelas, hardly any atmosphere at the Emirates anyways!
I kid, I kid... :-p

How did this turn into a IIHF World Championships discussion? People outside of Europe actually give a crap about that tournament? For one thing, it plays second fiddle to the Stanley Cup Playoffs, so you hardly see any great players because they are still in the playoffs or home resting. Most NHLers would rather go for the Cup then play in the World Championships, anyways.
Olympics, Canada/World Cup, and World Juniors are the tournaments that matter in hockey. It's best of the best hockey at its finest.

I wonder what they were thinking after watching Buble's performance with Mounties and giant inflatable beavers!? Ten bucks it was the first time those athlete's heard the Hockey Night in Canada theme too.
Plus, they had to put up with Nickleback and Avril. Mao Asada and a few others dancing to "Girlfriend"? Ugh, can't save them now.
