Peter Crouch is bulletproof (for now)

2010-05-07T10:48:00.000-07:00

On Wednesday, Tottenham beat Manchester City 1-0 thanks to English striker Peter Crouch's header.

It was a monumental win for Spurs since it breaks the chokehold on the top 4 in the EPL (Chelsea, Man. U, Arsenal, Liverpool) and gives them at worst the fourth spot and a berth in the playoffs for the Champions League next season.

If they can win at Burnley on Sunday in their final match of the season, Tottenham could move up to the third spot and thereby avoid the playoff.

The goal ironically came a few moments after Crouch couldn't connect on a cross at his feet that skipped across the goalline. Hopefully in this upcoming World Cup, England learns from its mistake in 2006 of targeting Crouch constantly in the air. He's great in the air but they have to diversify their attack a little more than that; a team with as much talent as England should never be as low-scoring and predictable as they were in 2006. End of rant.

Outside of youth soccer and indoor soccer, I will guarantee that you'll never see a 6-6 game again in your life, especially one that features a team down 6-2 scoring four straight in the last 25 minutes.

So without further ado: Hibernian vs. Motherwell in the Scottish Premier League. And FYI: a spot in the Europa League was on the line.

The best Beatles parody you've heard today

2010-04-28T21:05:00.001-07:00

I'm not usually a fan of parody songs (except for the delightful Weird Al) and YouTube tribute videos are usually wretched but for some reason I loved this Wayne Rooney take off on The Beatles' "Let It Be."

Can the World Cup start tomorrow? This gave me goosebumps and I'm not even English.

Highlights from the weekend of 4/17/10 from around Europe

2010-04-19T22:06:00.001-07:00

This is why you were taught to juggle the ball as a little kid and maybe this is also why Dunga keeps playing Miacon over Danny Alves because he can juggle better than the Barca man. Of course in my humble opinion if Alves was in Brazil's starting lineup more often the joga bonito boys would score more goals like this, but that's another story.

The Inter Milan man signed off this past Friday with a spectacular juggling act that led to a cracking volley, which opened the scoring at home against Juventus. Inter beat Juventus at home 2-0 to stay in the race for the Scudetto, or in plain English - the Seria A championship.

Now I'm normally not the one to pump up the Seria A - I subscribe typically to Jose Mourinho's philosophy "I don't like Italian football and Italian football doesn't like me." Point in fact I despise Italian football and the defend, defend, defend, counter attack, defend, defend, defend approach. It's boring, unattractive, and why most Americans don't enjoy the game.

However, if you can't get excited about Mirko Vucinic's second goal of the game Sunday vs. derby Rome rivals Lazio and this announcer's reaction - then to quote the great David Portnoy, "you probably have a big dump in your pants."

The goal ensure that Roma would carry its one-point lead over Inter in the Seria A for at least another week. And oh by the way, Vucinic's strike nearly decapitates Lazio keeper Fernando Muslera on its journey to the back of the net. Fernando didn't see the ball until it shaved the side of his head and gave him a little chin music.

Finally we come to the highlights that will make Rich sick, Tottenham's defeat of Chelsea on Saturday, 2-1. John Terry disgraced himself again by giving up a penalty kick before earning him marching orders later in the game fouling Gareth Bale to earn his second yellow of the game. Terry in fact may be setting himself up to be taken out of the starting lineup for England with the shockingly awful form he has shown lately.

But I want to give credit where credit is due. Bale was the hero of the match for Tottenham with this scintilating run slicing and dicing the Chelsea defense before hitting a wonderful shot by Petr Cech at the near post. This is the type of stuff this kid is starting to do on a regular basis and it won't be long until he is a regular in the England national team picture. I for one hope he's not doing this to the U.S. in a little less then two months. Anyway enjoy.

A little magic from Ronaldo

2010-04-16T11:47:00.000-07:00

We all love to hate Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid, but at the same time if you're like me you also love to watch the guy play because no one can do the things he can do not even the great Messi.

The Portuguese man has the fastest step-overs I've ever seen and the defender below from Almeria, who got toasted yesterday probably agrees with me. Check out the highlights:

Tottenham's Danny Rose scoring a goal of the year candidate goal vs. Arsenal 4-14-10 in the London Derby in his English Premier League debut. Craziness all the way around. Oh by the way the loss eliminated Arsenal for all intents and purposes from the EPL chase, what else is new... Enjoy

It looks like David Beckham will miss the 2010 World Cup with a torn achilles so we wanted to celebrate him with some of his most memorable moments with the Red Devils aka Manchester United.

How is this guy not on the Brazilian national team

2010-02-18T19:42:00.000-08:00

OK so this first youtube clip is a year old, but it is one of the most amazing goals I have ever seen. The man who scored the goal, Grafite of Wolfsburg, notched 30 goals for his Bundesliga team last year and is not even getting any consideration to play on the Brazilian national team this coming summer at the World Cup. I mean what does a guy have to do.

And I post this video today because Grafite was up to his old tricks vs. Villarreal in the Europa cup, scoring another really sick goal on the road in Spain and then finishing with a PK. The teams tied in the first leg. There's also a really sick goal from Marcos Senna.

Some Champions League blunders

Ovrebo blows Bayern Munich vs. Fiorentina match - I'm still laughing because he helped out my side, but if I was a fan of the men in purple I would be bullshit. Here's the highlights...

And not to be outdone, we couldn't forget Arsenal keeper Lukasz Fabianski's heroic effort for FC Porto... A shit show if I have ever seen one, his dreadful display is going to earn him our second Bozo of the Week title.
