T-Mobile USA is throwing its hat into the FIFA World Cup 2010 bonfire with a contest for its
customers. It recently launched a national campaign called El Llamado del Futbol (The Calling of
Soccer) which will give soccer fans a chance to win one of 10 trips for two to South Africa.
During the period of March 3-April 19, customers will have the opportunity to submit their names of
hopes of landing to an all-expense-paid trip for two to South Africa in June for a five-night,
six-day experience of a lifetime.
Proof that as long as you filling someone's pocket they will do basically
anything...

England manager Terry Venables covering Elvis.
Congratulations and good luck to Fulham FC who have had a truly ridiculous season in the
Europa League. They overturned a 1 goal deficit after half time against German giants Hamburg to
book their place in the final...
A truly ridiculous free kick from Petric had Hamburg with one foot in the final, but a late
surge from Fulham with goals from Gera and Davies saw them emerge victors.
I think even less than 24 hours after the game, you've read enough about USMNT v England. And
really, if you're reading this website, you don't need someone else to tell you what you saw.
So simply here to help take you there...
Overheard in Rustenburg... "Don't call it a comeback. Or a miracle.

There's something not right regarding perception and reality down in the Mediterranean area
encompassing Turkey and Greece. Sure, Albert Riera arriving for a bonfire and his Olympiacos
introduction above Freddy Adu and Darius Vassell are very nice players, but it's not like they're
nabbing Lionel Messi in his prime or anything.
Wayne is being put to the stake as bonfire society reveal giant
granny-loving shrek lookalike as their annual Guy Fawkes figure.
Wayne Rooney effigy to be burned on bonfire in Kent
Off The Ball never rests in its mission to scratch around the underbelly of professional
football to find the most bizarre, humorous and inexplicable stories.
This week, Wayne Rooney is to be burned on a bonfire, a US General 're-educates' some
over-zealous Aston Villa stewards, the Rome derby is deemed too scary for an eagle and Rafa Benitez
speaks more wibble at Inter Milan.
It's been a tough year for Wayne Rooney. Not only has the Manchester United forward struggled on
the pitch with only one Premier League goal and a boatload of injuries, but the once beloved
Englishman also has received an incredible media backlash due to his alleged role in an
extramarital affair with an internet prostitute while his wife was pregnant.
Was it a "muddle, not a fiddle?" Was it just a big fat coincidence?
It seems strange that the second part of the McLeish Report came to exactly the same conclusions
about the future of our league structure as those announced by the SPL last week. Odd.
Odd and depressing. The feedback I hear from fans is hardly embracing the idea of two 10 team SPL
divisions.
