All kinds of fun stuff going on this weekend, with lots of newsy bits that aren't quite enough in and of themselves for an entire post.

Turns out the Brazilian installed a £30,000 soundproof music suite at his mansion. I'm sure this guy is the samba version of 'Big' -- the Tom Hanks flick.
Or 'Richie Rich.'
His house is probably fun of crazy toys and fun stuff.
Immature + money = unpredictability.
Though I'm sure that guy know how to throw a party. Click to continue reading...

It's me Carlos! I've been hired to coach Portugal's nat'l team since you've been gone.

The Dutch players celebrate with their children last night in Berne. Honestly, have you ever seen so much pink-cheeked, flaxen-haired adorableness in your life? (And I'm definitely not talking about Dirk Kuyt.) Let's give the Oranje the trophy right now simply on the basis of baller loin production of the most superior quality.

Greetings all, how about the love we got from SF at The Offside Rules for our new beer idea. Thanks SF. You're my boy. That "BEER" can is great.
Speaking of beer and other fun stuff, tomorrow after the match, we're hosting an after party at the Hooters right across the street. Hop on by for some post-game entertainment and hang out with your favorite Wizards. Click to continue reading...

Roo and his stag entourage are on a tear in Ibiza. Notably missing: Rio Ferdinand, with England captaincy on his mind. Also no hoochies of any sort. Definitely a lads only kind of outing.

OH. MY. GAWD. I've seen sputum that was a nicer colour. Who is to blame for this fashion disaster that is the green of Portugal training kit? I need to know. Heads must roll.
