C-Ron's sister, Katia, has revealed the name of her bro's new baby, and you almost certainly
guessed it from the headline: "The baby is doing very well, Katia said. "We are looking after him
while Cristiano is away.
"He's called Cristiano, just like his dad.
After an impressive start in the Premier League with an assist in Everton's draw with
Arsenal, Landon Donovan is already making his mark in England. The following is a continuation of
his correspondence with his friends back home.
Yo Broskis,
It's only been about a week since I rocked my new age reverse pilgrimage across the pond and
already I'm dominating these fools with Everton.
Sometimes in life, all you need is a bro. A Lanbro, that is. Yeah, he's totally getting iced
tonight. Still numb from the awesomeness that is Landon Donovan, I find myself hardly in a state of
mind to articulate the innumerable emotions running through my sober veins hours after the US took
the group from England's grasp.
Ducky's Note: Sunday's game, I must say, seems to have been viewed by almost the entire
world. I get comments like 'Arsenal just capitulated no?' from guys who have barely watched
football in their life. Sample, however, is not one of them. If you've followed
this blog at all, you would've noticed he's Wenger's and Maddy's strongest bro.
So it wasn't just Gonzalo who had an amazing time on the pitch last night. His
older bro', Federico aka the Other Higuain Hermano also helped
his team to score against Boca Juniors later in the day. But never underestimate Martin
Palermoooo, Godoy Cruz!
With all the Nike Make History hooplah kicking about this evening, I almost forgot about the mouth
watering match taking place at the San Siro tonight, when Jose Mourinho takes on his former Blues
and Carlo Ancelotti takes on his former teams nemesis... I mean, it's almost as mouth watering as
your sister bro!
Another week, another slew of USMNT-driven content from the ol' four-letter. After purchasing a
snazzy new dress shirt (he traded the Italian one he was wearing to Jozy), Josh Elliott's back in
the studio interviewing Landon Donovan. Interestingly enough, like the announcers in "Winning
Eleven," Elliott has trouble pronouncing Chuck D's last name as he refers to the beleaguered
striker as "Davis" instead of "Davies.
Just in time for South Africa 2010, the Soccer Nerds have returned. Who are the Soccer Nerds you
ask? Well, they're the motley crew that covered the last World Cup is such fine fashion, that we
just had to invite them back.
Of course you can depend on regular insights from Shourin and Anish, but
here are the folks who will join up for the Cup:
- Gerd, who will cover Germany.
Okay, so... we're trying this post for the third time. The wireless signal here at Lincoln
Financial Stadium is less than stellar, and I've been booted enough times that my desire to type is
waning. My desire to write liveblogs remains minimal, so I'm posting this as more of a "rant box"
than anything else.
