Bayern Munich boss, (for now anyway) Jurgen Klinsmann, is suing a German newspaper after it ran an
image of him being crucified for it's Easter edition...on the front page! Klinsmann said he felt
his human dignity had been "deeply and massively" violated by the picture, which was modelled on
Monty Python's "Life of Brian".
As part of Stumptown Footy's continuing offseason autobiographical series on how soccer explains
our lives, here's my very long story about my youth soccer playing days in Minnesota, stints in
Europe, and eventual connection with the Portland Timbers. It's the story of a lifelong search for
a soccer team to support, and all the stumbling blocks along the way.
The Football Haiku World Cup is a project based on the writing of haiku poetry specifically geared
to the football World Cup in South Africa in 2010. We want to publish beautiful poetry written by
you to accompany the beautiful game.

CONTRIBUTE A FOOTBALL HAIKU
===========================
The basic question for the project is "What has the football World Cup ever done for us?
Con esta entrada algunos la odiaran. John Cleese es un excelente comediante britanico que participo
con el legendario grupo de comedia inglesa Monty Python que es considerada una comedia
inteligente.
Hace tiempo que se realizo un documental llamado "The Art of Football from A to Z" en español
llamado šEl arte del futbol de la A a la Zš, en el cual tiene una aparición y suelta todas las
verdades sobre lo que piensan los aficionados al fĂștbol sobre como lo llaman los estadounidenses ,
el famoso soccer.

It's bad when you miss a goal, but it's worse when you do it in front of millions of fans. These
are just a few of some of the worst (best) soccer misses of all time sung to the music of Monty
Python's "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life." Can't help but feel bad for some of these
guys.
Politico hears from the person who vetted Sarah Palin for the vice-presidential job.
A.B. Culvahouse, a powerful Washington lawyer and former counsel to President Reagan, told an
audience of Republican lawyers that for McCain, selecting a vice president came down to three
questions: Why do you want to be vice president?
I haven't been able to post these past few days due to trying to finish up my project. That
may turn out to be a good thing for my blood pressure because this blog would have been filled with
insults about Wednesday's "Tea Parties." Instead, I'm just going to post this video clip below,
because I couldn't have been the only person to watch the footage and think of this classic
scene.
Brrr, seems like yesterday wasn't just a one off. Cold again this morning as we head into the
Interlull. My weather widget is not exactly a welcome sight, I have to say. Still, not much we can
do about it. Other than move house and Mrs Blogs is not keen on the equator. Oh well.
So now we face a two week gap with no real football, which is pretty frustrating.
After today's victory over Manchester United, perhaps they should change their theme song from
You'll Never Walk Alone to this one.
And yeah, I know that those pictures didn't come from today's game, but I can't keep track of
all of Torres' goals against the Mancs nor Vidic's red cards against Liverpool.
Playboy Bunny Prue sprawls face-down in the mud during a charity football match between Hef's
girls and a team of 'apes' (i.e, the cast from the film 'Battle for the Planet of the Apes') in aid
of the World Wildlife Fund at Hurlingham Park in London...

McBride shed more "red" for the red, white, and blue than anyone else.On September 3rd, 2010
Chicago Fire forward and former U.S. National Team player Brian McBride announced his retirement
from professional soccer, effective at the end of the current season.
McBride, he of the amazing diving goal of the 2002 World Cup, he of bloody sacrifice during the
2006 World Cup, he of 30 goals in 96 appearances for the USMNT (including the first American to
score in two different Cups).
With the Premier League over for another season. Here are some of the things I noticed from the
08/09 campaign:
Like a bat out of Hull
Hull City were everyone's favorite to go straight back down this season. They seemed like a
sweet little feel good story, content to have their moment in the big leagues before quickly
sinking back to lower level obscurity where they could be patronized by football and non-football
people alike for sounding like a thoroughly dull and uninspiring place to live.
All the hullaballoo in England over Andy Gray and Richard Keys reminds me so much of this scene
from Monty Python's Holy Grail.
Everybody's rushing to condemn and being seen to condemn. It's almost as if they are burnishing
their own anti sexist credentials while at the same time frantically hoping nobody has evidence of
them muttering similar sentiments.
FĂŒr Fans von England gibt es bei dieser WM bisher nicht viel zu lachen, auĂer vielleicht fĂŒr
Sarkasten, die TorhĂŒter verspotten. Dass die Stimmung gereizt ist, wird auch in diesem Lehrvideo
der Monty Python-Legende John Cleese deutlich.
Cleese erklĂ€rt den US-Amerikanern, dass FuĂball mit dem FuĂ gespielt wird und die Sprachlogik
gebietet, dass die korrekte englische Bezeichnung daher Football sein muss und nicht Soccer.
Just because we need a good laugh.Chris Kamara's authentic confusion is priceless.And the crew back
in the studio absolve Kamara's lack of professionalism by enjoying the moment by laughing with him
and at him but mainly with him.It all works and its just awesome. I needed that laugh and that real
human moment.

If you go to the site of any WPS team these days you're likely to see a counter displaying the
days, hours, and minutes before opening day. We're something like three months away, with a bit of
March Madness in between, but with the days getting longer, you can definitely feel the soccer in
the air!
I, for one, can't wait for tonight's debate and Obama's response when McCain goes after him.
How Big Mac will work his fringe issues into the format should be interesting to see. The GOP
has been thrusting Ayers and Acorn at us for too long to let this last debate pass by without
trying [...]
I was lucky last night. I got to listen to Dan Kelly and Evan Whitfield call a Chicago Fire
Soccer Club MLS Regular season match because I live in Chicago and , my cable provider carries NBC
5 Chicago Nonstop. Those of you who didn't were forced to listen to the Revs broadcast consisting
of Brad Feldman (the Revolution's only play-by-play guy in their history who isn't (get ready for
this) Adrian Healey and Derrick Rae.
There is a well known scene in Monty Python's "The Holy Grail" in which King Arthur fights a
black knight. As Arthur dismembers him, the black knight nonchalantly goes on boasting that there
are merely flesh wounds and he will go on fighting. Bruce Arena this week has reminded me of the
black knight.
For many people the low point of this season was the 8-2 at Old Trafford. And I get that
completely. It was embarrassing but, you know, it was a freak. A one off. Something that's never
likely to happen again and entirely down to the fact that the manager took off the Coq. Without him
we had no penetration, no balls and as a team we went flaccid without him to keep us stiff in the
middle of the park.
Tomorrow marks the 42nd anniversary of the debut of Monty Python's Flying Circus on the
BBC. To celebrate, we've slapped together a side of our favorite Python characters in an
old-fashioned 4-2-4.GK -- Black Knight -- Like all great keepers, he allows nothing, not
even dismemberment, to stop him from triumphing.
Saturday's game proved once again that a determined Spaniard always gets their revenge.
Grant Wahl tweeted before kick-off that Spain was resting so many starters that it was like
going to see the Beatles with Ringo doing all the singing. Well, if Spain was a Ringo-only Beatles,
the US was more like a full strength Rebecca Black.

Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate has the "it" quality as a manager. Not "it" in the genius
sense like Arsene Wenger or Sir Alex Ferguson. Southgate has it in the Raymond Domenech sense where
he could strip naked, smear himself with his own fecal matter and reenact the Monty Python Silly
