World Cup seeding is almost impossible to figure. Even when very intelligent people attempt to flesh out just who will be seeded for next year's World Cup by applying the formula used during the...

Later today, I will have that 'fun Premier League post' that I promised was coming a few weeks back. Sean and I put it together with a couple of NSC pals. Took a little longer than expected, but it's ready now...#1 - I've posted my Q&A with USMNT/IK Start defender Clarence Goodson, who I had somehow had never interviewed before last week.

This is a photo of Las Senadoras --of Republica Deportivo fame-- getting their mitts all over the Philip F. Anschutz trophy. For this it is The Luckiest Trophy in the World, Todayâ„¢. Also it should be noted that there was an obvious caption for this photo but it was just too obvious, even for a blogger as hackey yours truly. Click to continue reading...

I'm not sure who has better placement here: Russell "Rusty" Brand or West Ham. Click to continue reading...

Peep the new video for the upcoming KickSwerve iPhone app. I mentioned it a while back but they took down the original clip before they dropped this one. Looks like they've got Nike on board to flesh out the experience with the game-ball and signage. Can't wait; I could use a little more distraction in my life. Click to continue reading...

We've seen it happen before. Many times over. Sadly, companies and their marketing teams like to take hot footballers and turn them into dorks for sales purposes. It's a wide-spread (albeit, entertaining) issue in our community.

This Gillette ad wants you to rate the "champion of the future" and you can win a razor.

Looking at these photos of the Tottenham boys out celebrating their win over Portsmouth this weekend, we were struck by one undeniable truth: shop assistants lie. Oh, how they lie.

They lie to the young, innocent and cash-rich when they tell them: yes, Mr. Keane, flesh-coloured satin is big for 'ballers this fall.

Ladies of New England, behold the Massachusetts Mack Daddy of the Month courtesy of RevsTV. Sure he's not a Celtic or a Red Sock but he is a pro athlete who makes pretty good money. He is also single. He also likes his ladies in "any white top," a pair of jeans and high heels so if you can handle that you at least have a shot. Click to continue reading...

Just a flesh wound.

This week saw yet another much-hyped series of columns on the internet that put the US Soccer Federation squarely in the cross-sights. This time it was freelancer and Big Lead contributor Ty Duffy laying into US Soccer with his three piece series. I hate having to, to paraphrase Wiilliam F. Buckley, stand athwart the nonsense being thrown the USSF's way, yelling stop, but in this case, I will again. Click to continue reading...

Theo Walcott's lady friend Melanie Slade looking very nice indeed in this German FHM shoot. Anyone speak any German by the way? We are wondering what the text on the first photo may be about. Yes in case you hadn't noticed there are some words on these pics and not just exposed flesh!

Shep & co. somehow spend 8+ minutes discussing streaks without mentioning Tiffany May. Shocking. Where is she now anyway? Click to continue reading...

David Beckham was out on the beach in Santa Monica to film a tourism campaign for California.

If they want to increase visitors to Cali, all they have to do is print a map of the common locations David visits, from Starbucks to nightclubs and organise some sort of Wagabee/hoochie tour guide with a free mini skirt.

And so the scratchy pre-season results continue.
Whilst there were some positives - Martin Petrov looking lively and added another goal to back up his one against Barnsley. There was some nice movement throughout the side, and the sharpness and fitness is no doubt tuning up for the start of the league campaign. Click to continue reading...

Nike is usually one of the best at producing quality, entertaining advertisements. This is not one of them. This is something that will eat your dreams.

As @Kickette says, the Werder Bremen players' wavy flesh set against a soul-sucking black void of a background makes them look like some kind of freaky aliens sent to crack open my skull and fiddle with my insides.

Tossers.
This morning's bombings of two hotels in downtown Jakarta shattered the hopes and dreams of 70,000 fans who had been looking forward to a chance of seeing Manchester United's stars strut their stuff in the flesh.
One of the hotels targeted was the Ritz Carlton which was where the visiting players were due to have stayed for their short stay. Click to continue reading...

If you know a few guys who don't have the time for soccer, send them this link. I think it may get their attention. The Sirens of Soccer are a group of comely female players formerly known as Hollywood United Girls Soccer and they've put together this instructional video for the purpose of educating and entertaining soccer-ignorant perverts nationwide.

Donovan Ricketts has been making huge stops all year long - All-Star caliber stops. But just being good doesn't mean you are going to get what you deserve. Sometime you have to pimp yourself a little. Press the flesh. Get the word out. Bribe people with food. Ricketts shows how to make it happen on the field and off.

Hope everyone had a great weekend - we have a lot to catch up on and are in transit today so bear with us. All news will be updated, even if it is via a typewriter and a sketchpad.

I am posting this video of Italy's Genaro Gattuso --the rich man's Dema Kovalenko-- getting his unmentionables out on ESPN for three reasons:
1. I haven't done sh*t for the ladies and homosexualists in a minute.
2. It's nice to see the Azurri a little embarrassed after they embarrassed the Yanks the other day. Click to continue reading...

Damn, if ever there was a reason to broadcast a Lamar Hunt US Open Cup match that is not the final this is it. Portland won their second round match last night vs. some PDL side or other and will now host sworn enemy Seattle Sounders at PGE Park on July 1st. We thought the Rose City-Jet City rivalry was on ice on until 2011 but I guess beef waits for no one, least of all the guy making schedules for the USOC. Click to continue reading...

What Ronaldo's bank account receives in a week takes the average worker five to six years to earn. Then again, the average worker can't score from forty yards. The thieving bankers take millions for themselves and play golf, that most twisted of Freudian perversions (little balls and little holes).

I didn't know the Revs had girls but here they are taking the piss out of that much-maligned RBNY marketing stunt from a few months ago. Possibly the first time I've ever seen a rivalry go from the pitch to the stands to the new media dept. If it goes to the next level be prepared to see an advert for a new, taurine-enhanced shaving gel that's smoother than Gillette. Click to continue reading...

Carrying on from The First Time I Saw Denis Law Play, Giles Oakley reflects on Law's best goal.

On the eve of United's Champions League Final against Barcelona, this is a good moment to remember Denis Law, the greatest Red to miss out on a final at such a level. No-one deserved a European Cup winner's medal more than the King of the Stretford End but tragically he was stuck in a hospital bed after surgery for a recurrent knee injury the night that United beat Benfica 4-1 at Wembley in May 1968.

I may be wrong about this but when I was in high school in Denison, TX it was widely believed that there where no ugly girls in Plano, Tx.

Depeche Mode: the only band on the planet willing/capable/worthy of bringing lesbian, foot-fetish soft porn to Europe's largest stadia. This was shot at the tour's warm up gig in Luxemburg 2 weeks ago. They kicked off their Tour of the Universe a week later in front of 50K at Israel's national soccer stadium in Tel Aviv and have had to cancel every date since due singer Dave Gahan's recent "illness".
