The training session today for the U.S. WNT consisted of a 90-minute closed-door scrimmage vs. China as the team winds down its training camp in Princeton, N.J. Of course, the two teams will meet for real on May 27 at PPL Park in Chester, Pa., and with more than 15,300 tickets now sold for that match, it should be a rocking atmosphere.

Remix! In a sense, anyway. Those of you who have been with us since the pre-season will remember that a similar interview occurred between ourselves and The Goat Parade for the pre-season tournament match against Chivas USA. As such, today's preview interview will be a bit shorter than what we're used to given that not a lot has changed between now and then.

Venue: The Hawthorns, West Bromwich. Date: Sunday, 25th March, 2012. Kick-Off: 4pm (Sky TV). Referee: Chris Foy (Scouser). Well, it's another battle of the birds this week. With the Canaries cruelly crushed by the Magpies last week, this week we find ourselves trying to throttle the "Throstles" of West Bromwich in their own Hawthorns nest.

Hello, Pep.

Remember me? I am Zlatan. The only player too great for you to tame. I see your head is still so afraid of me that it refuses to grow hair. That's unfortunate. For you.

I enjoy being the bearer of bad news, so here it is: The Champions League draw has once again dropped your Zlatanless gaggle of elves into my path of triumph and destruction.

We're not sure how feathers and fringe got so popular, but WAGs and footballers everywhere are suddenly looking like real-life Angry Birds.

We no likey.

By now you have probably heard of the tenuous attempt to link Aaron Ramsey's occasional goal-scoring to several notable deaths that have happened in the days that followed. Osama Bin Laden, Steve Jobs, Muammar Gaddafi and, most recently, Whitney Houston have all coincidentally died in the days after a Ramsey goal for Arsenal (his goals for Wales apparently do not have fatal powers).

The Telegraph talks about how Berbatov splits our fans.

ManUtd24 reminisces about the Yorke and Cole partnership.

The FCF looks at Wenger's best misplaced rants.

Ellzed's Blog looks at the reaction to Giggsy's birds.

The Daily Mail ponders on whether Cristiano Ronaldo would return to United.

Good evening Geordies and welcome to our latest "match banter" feature for this evenong's game, which will be yet another battle of the birds. First it was Magpies v Canaries, then Magpies v Swans, and now the Mags find themselves battling the Throstles of West Bromwich Albion for a juicy three point worm.

En la Universidad UNCA en Estados Unidos hay futboleros que se divierten de lo lindo, ayer te presentaba que jugaban Angry Birds al estilo futbolero, hoy te traigo como Lassi Hurskainen el super portero finlandes salva a la Navidad vs El Grinch.
No se que te parezcan estos videos pero a mi por lo menos se me han hecho divertidos,eso si sin el frances Remi Galliard esto no seria posible.

Hay comerciales que imitan a los mejores como Rafael Marquez dejando en evidencia ser una copia del bromista frances Reimi Galliard.
Pues hay quienes de algo ya hecho le dan un pequeño giro como Lassi Hurskainen y sus Angry Birds de futbol soccer, por lo menos se ve que realmente se estan divirtiendo.

Lassi's back, and this time the production values are higher than ever as he and his UNC Asheville teammate Dan Jackson set about saving Christmas from the evil clutches of David de Grinch...

More of Lassi's freestyle frippery on Pies.

Italy, oh Italy! The world's eyes are fixated on their fallen president and wacky owner of AC Milan today... Botox Berlusconi! Well, everyone except the Azzurri of course, where it was 'Business as Usual' with medical checks at the team's training camp in Florence yesterday.

Lassi Hurskainen is basically the American collegiate non-funny soccer-only version of Remi Gaillard. So when it comes to matching YouTube views with the master, a gimmick is required. Enter Angry Birds. Now the question is...

Will he go to Rio next?

To be honest, we haven't found an addiction to Angry Birds has exactly helped us with productivity around the office, but it's good to see that the pesky app has it's creative uses.

Using just a cuddly green pig, a football and some rather nifty skillz, UNC Asheville 'keepers Lassi Hurskainen and Dan Jackson perform their own version of the pig murdering pastime.

We've featured a couple of tricky-dicky UNC Asheville ‘keeper Lassi Hurskainen on Pies before, and you'll be glad to know that the fripperous freestyler has finally gotten around to cobbling together his third showreel which is based around an 'Angry Birds' theme (you know, that infernal iPhone game) for some reason.

We're guessing that, since we've done this twice now, it's pointless for us to deny that most of working days are spent surfing the internet for images of cute fluffy animals and birds to 'hilariously' match with our favourite 'ballers?

DDDWDDLWLLDDLLWL No, this isn't the code to unlock the hidden levels on Angry Birds. It's Arsenal record in the league after their Carling Cup Final collapse in February against Birmingham City. The wins for Arsenal came against Blackpool,...

The two young love birds, tennis star Caroline Wozniacki and golfer Rory Mcilroy, might not be so lovey-dovey on October 15th.

A Taiwanese news station has responded to the revealing of the Ryan Giggs super-injunction in interesting fashion, mocking up a cartoon of exactly what went on. 1. Is that really the new United shirt sponsor? 2. Why is Guy Fawkes on Twitter? 3. Did you know that Ryan Giggs allowed birds to excrement on him?

It's a beautiful day today, isn't it? The sun is out, the birds are chirping....ok so there are no birds. And it's pretty damn cold right now. Who cares? We just won an FA Cup tie and we're back to winning ways. On top of that, we're scoring plenty of goals, just as Bergkamp intended. Shall we make it 3 trips to Wembley this season?
