Great soundtrack. Spotted at our buddies Unprofessional Foul.
Don't forget to try your luck at free fantasy football this weekend with live chat, live scoring,

throw in a jersey too if I'm feeling particularly unselfish.
A few of the articles that have been in Butt's Brain over the past 24 hours...
Rafa Benitez says he would never coach Manchester United. He might not be coaching Liverpool by
the end of the month, much less Manchester United, so he should probably just focus on his own work

Thursday or Friday... ... Continue reading →
Not nearly as bad as the Hand of the Frog - Henry's double handball that led France to the World
Cup over the deserving Irish, we have the overshadowed goal that wasn't today from Daniel
Nardiello, the Bury striker.
Funny stuff here. What a watered down pitch. Brilliant goalkeeping by the puddle there, as Kasper
Schmeichel of Notts County was well beaten.
A bit of what's going on in Butt's Brain from around the footie web: Balotelli, Rooney, Ashley
Cole, and others smoking cigarettes [FootballSup via Unprofessional Foul] Liverpool leave all star
players at home (Gerrard back, Torres fatigue / ... Continue reading →

At 14, Pele was kissing him; today he'd be lucky with Elizabeth Lambert Our
buddies at Unprofessional Foul had a great piece on Freddy Adu just last week. I couldn't have
really put it better myself: "...the guy doesn't have enough talent to play at any level higher than the MLS.
Funny viral diving video via our buddies at Unprofessional Foul.
Gilardino's worst dive ever is mocked (brilliantly) and neither Ronaldo nor Gerrard are spared in
this great Youtube clip.
Enjoy the weekend.

America's best option up front, Charlie Davies Update: Davies' injuries may
be career threatening.
Here's wishing America's Charlie Davies well, after it appears he was involved in a car crash last
night. Davies is in surgery, and seems to be doing OK, but reports suggest that there was a
fatality in the accident - a 22 year old woman.
You know, I don't nitpick every soccer-related article I read. Evidence: The Unprofessional
Foul's recent article on Bradley's job security. It's a really good post. The USA's two wins in
South Africa seem to have quelled the criticism of Bradley I personally don't understand why. Let
me know what you think of their opinion in the comments section below.
Scottish footballer Robert Harris has picked up the swine flu on holiday in Ibiza. Funny stuff from
our Butt Buddy Unprofessional Foul. To those of you in the US, have a good holiday weekend - wear
sunscreen, and stay away from pigs. Hot dogs should be O.K.
