You say football, I say soccer…
July 13, 2010Edit: Daniel Tosh, I am so disappointed in you. I thought you of all people would understand wanting to share viral videos with the world.
GOOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL, vidheads. Well, the world’s most popular international sporting tournament has come to an end, with Spain making every team it played its bitch and fighting its way to the top of the soccer totem pole. Wait, what happened to a South American country being a shoo-in for champion? Oh, well, last time I checked Spain and South America speak pretty much the same language so close enough.
Since I haven’t posted in so long, I decided this post is going to be a twofer. The first clip is Daniel Tosh’s brutally honest, amazingly brash take on foo…sorry soccer, the German half of me nearly took over there for a sec. Whatever. He’s hilarious. Just watch.
For the second clip, I was racking my brain for a classic scene from any one of the epic soccer movies Hollywood has made…but just couldn’t come up with anything above a feel-good 5th grade humor heartwarming flick about a youth team. Don’t get me wrong, I love “The Big Green” and “Ladybugs” is a classic, I just couldn’t come up with a postworthy clip. So, instead, I’m posting a montage of a bunch of idiots streaking across a soccer field. It’s actually pretty funny and, what I think is a good look at one of the best parts of soccer itself. (Namely, the backfield in motion).
OK, World Cup is over, can we start worrying about sports that matter now? Like football and, on a lesser level. baseball (which has its own “world” championship to worry about). I am seriously champing at the bit to get my fantasy football team going. Maybe this year my team won’t suck so much. Don’t fret, Cristiano Ronaldo. There will be plenty of opponents to headbutt in four years. Until then, try not to disgrace Portugal TOO much with your hotheadedness, even if you are just plan hot. Pretty doesn’t excuse bad manners.
