Dunga calls the squad for the next WC qualifiers matches. A little better? »

Dunga is back on duty and has called today the 22 players who will face Colombia and Venezuela for the next phase of the 2010 World Cup qualifying matches. Ronaldinho is out (good - he was useless son the pitch) and so is Diego (not sure this was a good call). Dunga is still insisting on Kleber and Juan which is plain stupid with players like Marcelo out there. Kaká - the superstar - is back and we hope he actually does something this time. But the hope of this round goes entirely to Mancini. The Internazionale star has been playing amazing football lately and if Dunga puts him on the pitch (mark my words) he will do wonders. Full list after the jump.

Watch the Video: Pogatetz’s insane tackle on Possebon »

Run to 1:20 mins to see the tackle. Pogatetz is such and insane player. Completely pointless tackle (unlesss his goal is to injure some players here and there - and we have to agree he has done quite a few crazy things). Luckily Possebon doesn’t have a broken leg but might have issues with his knee ligament. Some people…



Sony Bravia ad sucks! »

It’s hard to believe but Sony is actually laughing at the greatest sport in the world. Peyton Manning calls American Football a major sport in the world (!!!!) and there is also a Nascar driver there (another great global sport, huh?). This is wrong and stupid in so many levels. No wonder US Soccer is the way it is in the US. All football fans, do not buy Sony Bravia. Maybe get Samsung instead? (spotted on The Offside)

Meet Zakumi, the mascot of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. He (or she) is a leopard with a lion’s hair - a bit weird indeed. What do you think?


The goal that was never a goal. Some referees should be doing something else. »

In a match for England’s second division Watford vs. Reading, amazing (!!!) referee Stuart Attwell validated a goal which never even got close to the net. Seriously… get glasses, a binocular or quit, Mr. Attwell.


Mineiro to Chelsea. Essien to doctor. »

It’s almost 100%. Brazilina midfielder Mineiro will be the substitute for Essien in Chelsea. After a bad injury which will keep The Bison out of the pitch for a good 6 months. Felipão Scolari was quick and got Mineiro who used to play for Hertha Berlin. All good now, mineiro should keep the mid strong still not as strong as Essien.


Beautiful goal from Pato. »

Alexandre Pato (the Duck) shines again. AC Milan’s number 7 scored a beautiful goal on a free kick. Milan beat Zurich and is doing very well, thank you, in the UEFA Cup.

  • WTF of the Day: Adriano scores. It will rain knives.

Rumor of the Day: will Bill Gates buy Newcastle? »

Newcastle’s daddy, Mike Ashley, has decided to put the club up for sale after all. “I have listened to you. You want me out.” And now that the club’s ownership is up fluctuating, Newcastle fans are left wondering who will be the one to invest tons of money and make wonders. The name out there: Bill Gates (and also Dubai Investment Capital - of course!). What do you think? Hit my comment box.
