Welcome to the Friday Crackovia Club! This week's episode focuses on the Euro
Championships and Ronaldo's newly-minted 'role' as a nationalised property of Spain. Gerard
Pique and Sergio Ramos decide to have dinner together to dispel the 'bad
blood' between them before defending their Euro 2012 title.
There's always that feeling of awkwardness whenever Sepp Blatter steps on the
ball no one really knows quite what to say. Do we help him, or do we just stand and watch? Answers
on a postcard!
Anyway, Canada celebrated their role as hosts of the 2015 Women's World Cup
last week, and national goalkeeper Karina Leblanc (seen above) along with Canadian
president, Stephen Harper, held an event in Ottawa for the festivities.
We haven't bothered to cover the whole Team GB Olympic 2012 football side palava mainly because
proper Football Association business makes us nod off. Our view was that if/when the British
powers-that-be stopped bickering and decided to field a unified squad to play, we would post
photos of them looking hot.
Isa Halim after the final whistle was blownThings just don't look that good when we conceded a goal
within the first 15-minute slot that saw Abdallah Deeb scored to give the Jordanian the lead, when
the Lions barely find the momentum upfront with some misguided balls that strayed away
needlessly.
Safuwan's (extremely right in red) header almost levelled the scoresFew chances that came across
following that setback with defender Safuwan Baharudin's "out-of-nowhere" header from close range
nearly leveled the scores in the 35th minute or so, but the scores stayed that way at the end of
the first 45 minutes.
Morning all,
yesterday's piece got quite a reaction. I'm glad the majority of you took it in the spirit that
it was meant. A deadly serious, well thought out strategy for the future of this football club.
Those of you who thought I was taking the ever-loving piss? Well, you'll suffer for your lack of
foresight and vision in the future, oh yes.
We had a kid in my high school English class, and he always had his hand up. And I mean always.
Whatever the book, whatever the topic, whatever the tangent, Larry - that was his name - had to get
his oar in.
So every time Mr. Raymond - that was the teacher's name - saw Larry with his hand up yet again,
he'd look around for someone else.
It was a night of firsts. Edmonton's first home game. Toronto FC's first game in Edmonton. The
first time in 2011 that I listened to Gerry Dobson (he was ok).
As the night wore on you started to feel sorry for Edmonton. They played an attractive style of
football, have mainly Canadian players and did not seem to sag when they went down to ten men
midway through the first half.

Twenty-five year old Khairul Anwar, born with cerebral palsy, has waited a lifetime to take part in
a football league, representing his country.
It has been over a year since I either experienced the first-ever cyberhaunting or fell
victim to an elaborate hoax by my readers. Or my younger brother. Or both. While open to
interpretation, the fact is as follows: Ferenc Puskas contacted me via a Ouija board to ask for,
ahem, a favor. Pandemonium ensued.
U.S. fitness coach Dawn Scott guides Jordan Angeli thorugh the VO2 Max
Today is a day of physical testing for the U.S. WNT. In the morning it was the VO2 max, which saw
every player in camp take their turn on the treadmill in the team hotel. Most players expressed a
bit of awkwardness at wearing the mask necessary for the test, but despite the fact that it looks a
bit funny, the information garnered is extremely valuable to the U.
On Wednesday, Pique only had eyes for NFL star Chad Ochocinco. Who knows were his baby blues will
wander off to next? Image: Twitpic.
Trying to act oblivious to the consistently erratic reports on his love life, Gerard Pique spent
the earlier part of his week hanging with everyone's newest footy BFF, Chad 'Ochocinco'
Johnson.
