Cracking little video this. As ever, it features a huge over-reaction by a willy-waving idiot footballer.

US High School Soccer Racism

When I was a mere slip of the lad, and accidentally stumbled in to a one-off appearance for the school rugby team, more by virtue of neing a lard-arse than any competence at the game, no-one came to watch. And that's how it should be. School kids playing sport is not good spectator fodder. Mainly because the fact that they are kids makes them shit at it. So the double-handed concept of loads of people showing up, the tv cameras being there, and it being deemed the perfect platform for some ill-thought-out racial protest is completely alien to me.



A little context is probably needed here. South High is in the old stockyard/meat-packing district of Omaha, where 47% of the student body is Hispanic, and that percentage goes up for the soccer team. Meanwhile Lincoln East, well, isn't. And kids being kids, what better way to celebrate than make some pathetic immigration display. Pathetic.

Slippery summer fun: "Soapy Football"

First you have to get through 30 seconds of hairy Germans telling you something about something. And then the goodness of Soapy Football is unleashed. If this isn't sweeping the market squares of this fair isle of ours within weeks, I demand a Ministerial enquiry.

Awful Football Interviews Of Our Time

Where to start? Just when the myth about the US and football was being put to bed, something as abject as this raises its head.

1. Tee-arree?
2. "that's our soccer team?"??
3. "You've just won the World Cup?"??
4. Europe is more racist than the US
5. tell us about your big scores

Jesus H. Bring back Hansen and Shearer....

Player Strangles Ref

We all know South American football is nuts. And this video does nothing to dispel that impression. A penalty that had to be taken four times, eventually tucked away by Hamilton Ricaad (remember him?), followed by what Tyledsley and co would doubtless call "disgraceful scenes" of referee maltreatment.

Following the game, the guilty party, one Jose Pedrosa, said “I’m not sorry… I understand that I will be punished and I will no longer play for Rangers or any other team. I intend to get away from football, I’d rather be at peace with my family in Paraguay."


I suspect inner peace is not a concept Senor Pedrosa is overly familiar with.

Of Socialism, Sodomy, Satan. And Soccer

"What letter does socialism start with ? - "S"

"What letter does Satan start with ? - "S"

"What letter does sodomy start with ? - "S"

What letter does soccer start with ? -  I'm going to give you a great big guess on this ? - It's "S"

Do you think this is some kind of coincidence or something ? Do you really honestly think that because it ain't. It ain't at all. Soccer is against God."
