EuroVison: At Long Last
It’s been 44 years, but Spain has finally broken the jinx, and perhaps shed the label “Choke Artists” as well.
La Furia Roja beat Germany 1-0 on the back of a single Fernando Torres goal. Congratulations, Spain!

Who Should be Euro 2008 Player of the Tournament?
Looking back, Euro 2008 has been a bit special. Remember Cracking football, quality goals, big drama and a lot of good performances. But there hasn’t really been one player who’s risen above everyone else and dominated proceedings.

Iker gets some credit as well, but the most attack-gifted team in the tournament was riding the coattails of the Fearsome Foursome. Much like Italy in 2006, their defense was the difference between winning and second ... [read more]

Love Football, Hate Football: Reimagining The Crest
Love Football, Hate Football is a site dedicated to taking a currrent club crest and turning out a concept crest in its place. And the site is simply phenomenal. Not only are the designs solid and varied - you won't be a fan of every single one (the transformation of ...
Double-Oh-Kloppo
If there's a 007 for a football coach, it's ceertainly not Jurgen Klopp. He's too goofy and, well, he's not a pretty boy. As far as dress sense goes, perhaps Andre Villas-Boas. The problem is football coaches are often too animated to be the supercool James Bond. Jupp Heynckes could ...
Nelly The Champions League Elephant
You knew it was happening: there's an animal involved in the Champions League Final. After Paul the 'Pus caused a mild ruckus in Germany in particular, it should come as no surprise that Wembley's civil war will feature another majestic creature. Next up for its 15 minutes is Nelly the ...
Chelsea's Next: Josh Turnbull
While the big news of the day is that Chelsea is free to go after a fifty year old child manager of the utmost ability, it's backup keeper Ross Turnbull's son Josh who is stealing the show. After the final match there were some festivities on the pitch. Josh didn't ...
The Munich Philharmonic's Ode To Bayern
The Munich Philharmonic penned this little aria for their boys heading to England for the grandest match of the year on Saturday. Bounding around Google has surfaced nothing in the way of an English translation for the lyrics, but it's worth it simply to watch someone work 'Heynckes' into a ...
Jose Mourinho Does "Who? Me?" Better Than Anyone
During this evening's Copa del Rey final, won by Atletico Madrid in extra time at the Bernabeu (big win, that one), Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo were both sent off. The latter was unjustified, though Cristiano probably could've been sent off for kicking Juanfran off the ball earlier, and there's ...
Heineken Offers Up An Impossible Task
This might be better than the Champions League final itself. Heineken decided to run a gag where if a guy could get his girl to go along with buying stadium seats for $1899, he would win tickets to the final in London. One man actually rose above the odds - ...
Europa League Final 2013: Freestlying Amsterdam
The people who whip up these fancy second-tier finals (UEFA. They're called UEFA.) concocted a nice little PR thingamajig by pairing one fan from Benfica and one fan from Chelsea with a top notch freestyler in a race through Amsterdam to the Arena. They would hope to determine a winner ...
