This is a post about my recent trip to Tanzania. Enjoy.
The wind picks up slightly, pushing a thin breeze through the truck. I lift my head a little, so that I can see the roof, so that my neck and my chin get some of the new air. Sweat is beading just above my collar, [...]

Hey, whoa, real footy, a.k.a. Confederations Cup gets decided today
By: Kevin | 512 Comments
So, a funny thing happened on the way to the Spain Invitational. La Furia Roja lost to a scrappy United States side, courtesy of a most excellent assist from one Sergio Ramos, and some matador defense.
Which means they’re playing for third place. Some say they dumped the match to keep from having to lug around [...]

Pond Scum Seluk, agent of our man crush object, says that a deal has been done, and The Yaya will zoom down from Planet Man to sign the deal, probably on Friday.
Whether it is simply a big, fat raise or a raise and and extension, depends on where you look. EMD says raise. Sport says [...]
Spain vs USA comments thread, a.k.a. “No booze, no whores. What will happen?”

So fresh off of what many consider to be their best performance ever, or at least under that dimwitted gimlet named Bradley, Team USA is facing off against the side whose name is already engraved on the Confederations Cup trophy, Spain.
But since Spain was expecting to make it through to their final, this being [...]

Hey, who knew that these two were a pair of our essential defenders? Except for us, that is.
Aside from the pieces that Sid Lowe does, this has been one of the most excellent pieces of footy writing I have come across in quite a while. It appeared on the site of The Guardian a couple [...]

There isn’t a whole lot to say about this one, except enjoy!
Kevin’s Quote of the Day (with apologies to Pep)
By: Kevin | 48 Comments
I don’t often do this, but you so rarely run across a quote from a player that absolutely cracks you up. Deportivo left back and Barca target Filipe, talking to El Mundo Deportivo, said of the opportunity to join the Blaugrana ranks:
I’ve played against them and I know what it’s like to run after the [...]
Category: Team NewsL’Affaire Eto’o (the latest), a.k.a. “Please baby, please, baby baby baby please!”
By: Kevin | 112 Comments
What does this man want? Money? Fame? A ticket to Milan? To spit in the face of the club that has brought him so much fame and glory? To be understood and lavished with wads of cash? Love?
Good question.
This guy is news, because he is the key to so many things. If he stays, [...]

July 24, pre-season training tourney against Tottenham (at Wembley Stadium)

Brazil V Italy comments post, a.k.a. “The mother of them all….not, because Spain isn’t playing.”
By: Kevin | 165 Comments
Hey, this is a big match or something, right? Good vs evil, football vs defensive football, turncoat Americans vs those Samba Boys, all kinds of good stuff. I still contend that these two sides are battling to see who gets poleaxed by La Furia Roja, but that’s just me.
Reality is we have two programs in [...]
