En fuego, siempre.
That makes it 15 goals in the league, 21 total. What a season for Duece. We might be getting used to him scoring but his free kick goal today looks mighty unfamiliar, didn’t it? Because that was his first Fulham!
Here’s Clint and his onion rings in a postgame interview.
Your goals of the week with a heavy helping of Real Madrid. I know. Yuck. But nice to see Darlington Nagbe earn a spot amongst Kaka, Di Maria, and Cristiano’s Jolie leg.
“For the Brek Sheas and Agudelos of the world, it’s going to be harder..”
..says Herr Klinsmann with a figurative finger to the sternum of our two crestfallen starlets. Big ups to the gaffer for his fairly blunt assessment of the U23′s failure to qualify for the Olympics. Ain’t no sugar coating that Nightmare in Nashville. These youngsters are missing out.
Mind-boggling to think how smiley these conversations would be if it weren’t for one. botched. save.
I know what you’re thinking, and you’re right. They all kinda sucked. But that doesn’t stop me wanting to grab Sean Johnson and bruise him with my own crippling chest poke.
This is a gaggle of peaches if I’ve ever seen one. Though I tend to believe TV Gol goes the unconventional route of making #10 the ‘Best of the Week’ because I’m not sure how gravity/physics/the moon would allow such a goal to occur. How in the name of Newton’s apple does that go in? That Dalibor Veselinović just threw his unfairly long name in the hat for goal of the season.
According to Syria’s state-run TV station, Addounia TV, Leo Messi and his Barca team mates have been working with rebels in a conspiracy to undermind the Syrian government. Through their slick passing, they’ve been able to indicate smuggling routes into Syria. The video above shows a map imposed over the specific passing pattern of the catalan club which has helped rebels cordinate arms shipments into the country.
A Reuters’ press release translated and decribed the narration in the video:
“First we see how the guns are brought from Lebanon,” the presenter comments as one player passes the ball. “Then they cross into Homs and give the weapons to other terrorists in Abu Kamal,” he added, referring to rebel strongholds in Syria.
Messi’s final flick indicates the successful handover of the weapons to their destination in eastern Syria, he said.
Seems legit. I’ll take the word of a crazed ophthalmologist turned dictator. Yes, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad used to be an ophthalmologist. That’s an about face in the career field if I’ve ever seen one. Also, doesn’t he kind of look like Ohio State (American) football coach, Urban Meyer?
Which one is which?
Most of you only remember this guy from the old Tony Hawk games, let’s be honest. Football and Skateboarding don’t have a huge crossover but shredding gnar on the PS1 and PS2 with the Birdman and Co. was like the Facebook of the early 2000′s. Everybody was addicted to it.
Thankfully I had a few friends that loved to shred gnar in real life (not as well as Mr. Rowley) so I became familiar with Britain’s best skater years ago. While watching a Flip Skateboard’s production, Really Sorry, my ears perked up due to a familiar LFC tune. (1:30 mark in this video) He immediately became my favorite skater.
I was pleasantly surprised to discover that he recently did an interview for French football magazine, So Foot. Said interview was then translated by the original writer, who is a skate blogger and also writes for Vans, and was put up on the Vans website. None of that really matters. What matters is that the Liverpool born lad sounds off on going to Merseyside Derby’s, a hooligan uncle, and why Kenny Dalglish would be a top Skateboarder.

In Britain they call it Keepy-Uppy. In America we call it juggling. Either way, this video shows why Hendo and Ox are professionals and we are just poor saps sitting in front of a computer.
Let this be a nice litle teaser for the massive Liverpool – Arsenal match at Anfield this weekend.
Liverpool’s Spanish ‘keeper, Pepe Reina, is in a bit of controversy today for the fourth ad in the above video. It involves a play on words involving the fact that his last name means Queen in Spanish. However, not everyone is smitten with the ad. Operation Black Vote, a UK based group that promotes racial equality cried foul claiming that the ad displays black people as “stupid, backward, animalistic homosexuals”.
OK, I won’t be around the bush, I’ll just say it: this ad is not racist. Reina is the butt of the joke, not the black chief or the tribe. Did anybody also realize that the guide in the ad whom introduces Reina to the King is a black man? Or how about the fact that OBV included being a homosexual in a list of negative adjectives along with “stupid” and “backward”?
While we’re on the topic, here’s one more excuse to post about Liverpool winning the League Cup. This is just an adorable display of pure, indestructible ecstasy.
NOTE: The Third Kit does not condone the use of drugs.
A tough weekend to swallow for fans of the English game, especially when you’re allegiance is to the instigators. But as trying a round as it was for a Liverpool fan, imagine being an Aston Villa fan.
The kids? Now the kid’s are doing it? What a shameful display of ginger-on-brunette discrimination this is…
