This started out having some of the greatest potential for an absurd whiteout in recent Europa
League times, simply because it didn't start out. The game was delayed 30 minutes so they could
plow the field in Bern, which then happened several times Young Boys hired an artist, because there
was no rhyme nor reason to the plowing patterns (frankly, it looked like an ode to Swiss artists
Lang & Baumann) thereafter.
Earlier today FIFA voted and decided which nations would host the 2018 and 2022 World Cup. While
maybe some thought that the tournaments would go to England (2018) and the United States of America
(2022), it wasn't so, and instead it was Russia (2018) and Qatar (2022) which won the rights to
host the tournament.
Saturday's match featured, among others, 4 ponytails, 7 bald /shaved heads and Joey Barton. Add
to that we had Jabba the Hutt in the crowd, and its no wonder my mind went off on tangents. While I
was seriously contemplating how to tell apart Kyrgiakos and Gutierrez, a friend of mine volunteered
that Kyrgiakos' ponytail resembled that employed by most caucasian samurai in Hollywood films,
while Gutierrez's did not.
