As you may be able to tell from the photo above, Sandro got things off and running at the
Riverside in the 11th minute as the Brazilian Olympic squad waltzed to a comfortable victory over a
very limp-looking Team GB outfit with Neymar clipping home a penalty ten minutes before the break
to flesh out the scoreline.

Few players can elicit personal place trembles with a flash of their flesh quite like Cristiano
Ronaldo. Truth be told, we're forced to reject close up photos of his valuables on an hourly basis,
simply because there are too many of them to publish without us becoming a totally Crispy-based
blog.
The Champions League farted back into life last night with two last 16 games taking place, one
of which being Barcelona's comfortable win over Bayer Leverkusen at the Bay-Arena.

This here is the solid onyx 'meditation' room that FIFA installed in their Zurich catacombs a
couple of years ago y'know, for those times when all that glad-handing, flesh-pressing,
bung-quibbling, money-counting, heel-dragging and vote-rigging just starts to get on top of
you.
Stuart Pearce states its all "footballing reasons" why David Beckham was not chosen. He did his
due diligence watching Becks play in the flesh and also watching DVDs of his LA Galaxy
performances. It's the Olympics in London, and the least he can do is give a good account of team
GB on home soil.
When I first started, the idea was really just to get my thoughts on paper, flesh them out and
refine them over time. I thought I would systematically deconstruct all the issues I saw with the
sport in the U.S., and methodically build up solutions.
And so did venture a pack of brave knights into a land where did live monsters. The monsters did
try and slay the knights through tactics of brute strength. They did lob high missiles into the air
and a crumply giant did strike the first blow of the battle.

Hello there. I celebrated my birthday in fine style last night by spilling a whole pint right
over the Mugsmasher's pants. I think I might make that some kind of tradition. Thank you to
everyone for their kind wishes via Twitter etc, much appreciated.
We'll start this morning with the news that Jack Wilshere did indeed have his surgery
yesterday.
Last Saturday I went to see Newcastle United play Stoke City. 26 quid a ticket but at least the
game kicked off when it said it would. The kick off was clearly stated on the match ticket as well
as the match programme, the Newcastle website, the Stoke website and the Premier League
website.
Today I planned to go see Persipasi host PPSM at Ciracas Field in the official Divisi Utama.
Football at the moment is about money isn't it. All we are reading and hearing about at the moment
is either player salaries or the size of transfer fee's. Chelsea are now a club that is constantly
linked with big money moves in EVERY transfer window as AVB looks to rejuvenate our club out of the
shadows of the Mourinho era.
Nah, it's obviously not working. We can still see him... Image via footballkitnews.com.
Football kits aren't exactly our favourite thing in the world, Kickettes. They obfuscate bodies.
As you know, anything that prevents us from enjoying our daily flesh fix makes us stabby, which is
why we tend to avoid kit reviews like we do cheap shoes.
There's been a lot of speculation recently that Arsenal are going to sign German striker/attacking
midfielder Lukas Podolski in the summer.
I don't have any information to add over whether this deal might happen or not. My only source of
information is the article which appeared in yesterday's Bild - a German newspaper which,
unfortunately, might be equated to The Sun.
Here we have Cesc Fabregas, busy dodging all of Arsenal's pre-season shenanigans in order to
gadabout, pow-wowing in the gardens at 10 Downing Street with his new high-falutin' friends namely
Spanish prime minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and his British counterpart, old wibble-wobble
flubber cheeks himself, David Cameron.
Good heavens. We hope you warmed your hands first, Sami! Images via gq-magazin.de.
Avert your eyes, Kickettes! We haven't revealed this much flesh on the site in one go since Tim
Howard was kind enough to get his nekkid on for ESPN, and our server collapsed under the weight of
our rampant lust.
Tattooist Leo Millares (above left) is a man who spends too much time with his hands on
footballer flesh for our liking. His latest work, posted on Twitter before the ink had even dried,
is a set of replica pooch prints on the tummies of Guti and his lady love Romina Belluscio.
While we're on the subject of Gary Neville, do the England rugby bods really want a man who had
to be forcibly removed from a town hall after throwing a glitter-bomb at Republican US presidential
candidate Rick Santorum during a flesh-presser in Florida the other day to be the man to lecture
their troops on national pride and sporting morals?
A shiny hapenny and a bag of liquorice is on offer to those who can successfully guess the
identity of the recently-retired mole-eyed, ginger ankle-hacker who wants the record to state that,
despite being the worst tackler in the history of organised sport, he could actually tackle all
along and that he was actually just 'getting people back' by tearing off chunks of their thigh
flesh with his studs on a semi-regular basis:
Why I'm delighted by the chanting by those Chelsea fans
Over here in Kazan you get a real sense of what it feels like to be different. Stares in Moscow
airport as if you have two heads. Children making as if they want to touch your hand to see what
black skin feels like.
Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson wary of Liverpool threat
• Ferguson says Liverpool 'back on radar' under Kenny Dalglish • United manager challenges
side to match Barcelona The Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, believes Liverpool are
now "back on the radar" after two years outside the top four.
They had waited a lifetime to see their Anfield heroes in the flesh and Liverpool's Chinese
supporters weren't left disappointed after an afternoon to savour in Guangzhou.

For the first time in their history, Liverpool Football Club has landed in China to kick off the
first leg of their Standard Chartered sponsored pre-season tour of Asia.
Kenny Dalglish and his squad touched down at Guangzhou airport at 11am local time this morning
following a 13-hour flight from Liverpool (via Kazakhstan) - and were greeted by scenes of hysteria
as Chinese fans gathered in their hundreds to welcome the Reds to their country for the first time.
So this is what former Miss Vermont Katy Johnson is doing now? Huh. Random that the lady from the
infamous, VERY NSFW Tucker Max blogpost-cum-lawsuit is now rolling with The Bhoys on the Jimmy
Delaney bus. "Hail, hail" and all of that but there is no way in hell Katy Johnson even knows who
Jimmy Delaney is.

Former England left-back Graeme Le Saux might be best remembered for giving Blackburn teammate
David Batty a swift left hook to the chops and being invited to penetrate Robbie Fowler mid-match,
but he's also renowned as being somewhat of an intellectual. Speaking exclusively to OTP, he came
up with a few articulate thoughts on England's [.
Having now had time to digest the news Kris Boyd rejected an offer from Houston Dynamo that Dom
Kinnear and the front office worked on diligently only to later accept a reportedly
hastily-assembled one from Portland Timbers, it's time to flesh out possible reasons why. Granted,
there's still a bit of acid reflux felt by some fans of the Naranja, but at least getting a first
round draft pick out of Portland soothes the situation like Pepto Bismol.
In a bizarre act of utter madness that even Chris Foy (or is it Hoy?) and his team of assistants
couldn't miss, one Gabriel Orozco, goalkeeper for Argentinian side Recreativo Estrellas,
decided to bite the face of an opponent after a minor coming together in the box during a local cup
game in Cordoba.
A bit of a chaser on yesterday's Charlie Davies' bit:
My topic in this week's Talking Tactics column at MLSSoccer.com was D.C. United's effective
counter attacking strategy Saturday, key in the 3-0 win in Southern California. It seems that most
people agreed with yesterday's rant, about one player getting disproportionate credit for United's
big win.
