I've said it before and I'll say it again, Samir Nasri is a BEAST!

Here's a great article on the corruption in FIFA...not that anyone would be surprised to hear that there is corruption...

interesting. I'm sure all that stuff would come as no surprise, but I might pick that up.

Setting dvr for tottenham/birmingham at 2:00, coming home to find inter/lazio = not cool

A very interesting and very frank discussion with a member of the Australian bidding team. He pulls very few punches. He also touches on the U.S. bid three quarters of the way in.

Well, yeah. He needs 5 new players who will do his bidding, and not question him. Also, it's good if they work real hard, and run all game, but have nothing to show for it. Benitez loves that!

Benitez is lucky to have a job.

I often lament what has become of the game that I and millions of other people love. Today I read a blog by the BBC's Tim Vickery and I have to say I was very moved that at least in some part of the world there is still a man who wants to win fairly.
