After being put to a public vote, the good people of Poland have decided that this will be their country's official anthem for Euro 2012: 'Koko Euro Spoko' by a group called Jarzebina, who as will become abundantly clear are a group of older Polish ladies dressed up as nuns.

Thierry Henry has all but completed his two-month loan move back to Arsenal after photos of the French striker wearing the new Arsenal shirt were released. The Gunners legend will spend two-months on loan with his former club and is even expected to feature in Arsenal's FA Cup third-round tie with Leeds United at the [.

Real Madrid celebrated their 32nd La Liga trophy in the grandest way possible last night glamour, fireworks, white confetti and an opera show! You know it isn't a Madrid party unless Placido Domingo proudly belts out the Madrid anthem in a Los Blancos jersey and the Three Portuguese Musketeers get onto the microphone.

Señoras y señores,amantes de todos los deports, de la belleza de la humanidad, los Juegos Olímpicos Londres 2012 están cerca y las fanfarrias se oyen a lo lejos.

La musica siempre es importante en este tipo de eventos y claro esta Londres es una de las ciudades mas importantes a nivel mundial cuando se habla de musica.

Los juegos olímpicos de México 1968 fueron de los mejores en cuanto diseño grafico, todo mundo recuerda el estilo futurista; esa hermosa tipografia que causo furor en su tiempo y que se mantiene vigente como simbolo de modernidad.
Pues me encontrado por la web este vestido que se mostro en el Queens Art Museum de la ciudad de México.

Those canny devils over at Umbro have just launched their 'Icons Reissued' collection, which sees them reproducing a small gaggle of premium stitch-for-stitch replicas of some of the brand's most classic designs from yesteryear.

You'll be glad to know that Pies have been able to nab a few photos of the new range from the folk over at Umbro, which contains but four vintage items starting with Sir Alf Ramsey's iconic England 1966 World Cup Anthem Jacket.

How strange it was to watch Manchester United play on a Thursday night in a European game. As the players lined up, they heard the anthem of the Europa League which was uncharted territory for anyone...

I initiated contact with Georg Süss who writes for AIKBloggen.se to continue the tradition of answering questions for the upcoming match. Geoff and Ryan were kind enough to let me ask the questions.

The answers are fantastic. I asked a mixture of the usual report on the team but also asked about the organization, its history and traditions.

The Timbers betting game is back for 2012. We're starting everyone over with a fresh balance of $20, even last season's winner @TheMikeDonovan.

Here's a little refresher on the rules:

The Rules

While traditionalists might blast Pachelbel's Cannon on the day of their nuptials, this bride satiated her groom-to-be's love of the beautiful game by organizing a surprise rendition of the Champions League anthem.

She doesn't realize it now, but this is probably the last time she'll have his attention on a Saturday afternoon until the summer.

Turns out that the thing to fill the late-season gaps in the schedule is producing club-sponsored music videos. This one's a little less standard than PSG's recording of their anthem, what with being a ripoff of a pop track and all. Plus there are Furries. Or what look to be, anyway.

There is not enough time to discuss the delightful "coincidence" of Christoph Daum being their coach, either.

The bar for European Championships theme songs was set extraordinarily low with Shaggy's Euro 2008 anthem 'Like a Superstar', which is good news for Poland and their Euro 2012 ditty 'Koko Euro Spoko'.

The Poles were given the right to choose their Euro 2012 song on an X Factor-style TV show on Wednesday night.

Your gambling addiction is a serious problem. Savings. Car payments. Rent. Cash flows through your soon-to-close bank account like a raging river. However, there's still hope. All you need is one really really big win to leap back into the red (and not get your knee caps broken). How can you accomplish this feat?

With only a couple of weeks to go until the 20,000+ Green Army leaves home shores for Euro 2012, it would seem that we have as many Ireland Euro 2012 songs as we have travelling fans.
Some are great, some are decent & some are...well...different!
