Helen Flanagan, the Coronation Street actress who is dating Scott Sinclair (Wigan), has a
beautiful face, stunning blue eyes and a variety of fashion challenges. Facts are facts.
Now onto your opinions, dear readers: which of these two outfits would you wear? (If forced by
gunpoint or the loss of footy for the next four weeks):
Helen's day dungarees and bed-head bouffant, which she sported shopping at the Arndale
Centre or;
Helen's evening lycra-look fiesta of bustier and leggings fit for a workout at the local
streetwalkers step class*/audition in the new Vampyra musical, "Leggings Are Not Trousers,
OK?
The U.S. team had practice at mid-day today and the session featured many mini-games of 4 v. 4 on
both big goals with goalkeepers and on small goals. After a somewhat lackluster practice yesterday,
the squad had a great training today, which is usually what happens when you put these players in
competitive game situations.
After three weeks in South Africa enjoying the World Cup, Josh is back home and back in the
studio to record a new episode of the Total Football Soccer Show. We discuss the World Cup
quarterfinals (or, more specifically, Luis Suarez' handball), review the recent World Cup
semifinals, and then do a somewhat half-arsed preview/prediction of the Netherlands vs Spain World
Cup final.
Ladies and gentleman, the World Cup has come to an end. Across the globe, our brightest soccer
light will not shine for nearly four years. I am even more despondent, you see, because alas my
blogging career is now ending as well. That's right, the Yank will retire after a mere three more
posts.
Before we get into the specifics of Terrific Tom and Terrible Tottenham, and even before I throw
more unnecessary alliteration at you, I feel it's only appropriate to say a few words on our newly
minted "Teams We Loathe With Players We Love" feature series. We're excited about these pieces that
will give our writers the rare opportunity to salute the skill of an otherwise disdained rival.
It's quite clearly meant to be, just see how nice that alliteration sounds. It is apparent that
Bolton is an unfashionable club. England managers would rather pick from Everton or Fulham if they
leave the pantheon of the Big Four. Now this is at least partially my Northern-smaller-club
paranoia, but I don't think it can be totally.
After featuring an Alliteration XI for the letter A, it seems rude not to continue the series by
taking a look at the letter 'B'.
Alliteration XI: B
B provides us with quite a strong side. In goal is the currently out of contract keeper
Bertrand Bossu who enjoyed a very successful spell at Bristol City.
