The Confederations Cup is over: for a rather meaningless cup, there was some fantastic football in both the final (Brazil v. Argentina) and the third place game (Germany v. Mexico). If you haven't seen either game yet, the third place game is on Fox Soccer Channel at 8pm et, and the final is on at 11pm et. (More inside - I don't want to spoil it for anyone.)

Champions League draw.: This morning, the draw was made for the final 16 teams, and there are some really interesting first-round matchups - Chelsea v Barcelona, Juventus v Real Madrid, AC Milan v Manchester United, Arsenal v Bayern Munich - any one of these could have been the final. Are we destined for a final like last year with two smaller teams, or will some giants make it through to the end?

English football's Division One to be renamed "The Championship",: with Division Two and Division Three becoming League One and League Two. Apparently, they're changing the name to change people's perceptions of the league. If it's "The Championship", it's gotta be good, right? Huh? What's next, "The Lordship"? "The Fellowship"?

I recall seeing a similar thing a few years ago. It didn't use google maps, but it basically color-coded the US map in the same way.

yes fucking US only because the rest of you can watch "SOCCER" and tell us all how "that" is "real" FOOTBALL, Um, what?

I agree it should be 'Marshals'.

The Marshalls seems alright to me. Not great, but not painfully stupid like Thunder and Wind.

Hell yeah!

It's probably the most thinking Geideman ever did compiling a checklist, save for the 1992 Upper Deck set when he assigned numbers that ended in 69 to players with porn-star-sounding names. (Dick Schofield at No. 269, Heathcliff Slocumb at No. 569, and Dickie Thon at No. 769.) Awesome. It's too bad Rusty Kuntz wasn't playing in 1992.

Interesting. I'd sign up for kicks, but there's no way I'm shelling out $48 to do so.

Here is a picture from a few milliseconds later than the above picture. And here's a video of the tackle. Can't quite tell how bad it is from the video, but the snapshots at the end show the damage. Nasty stuff.

Well, that sucks.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the "thunder from down under". All hail Luc Longley!

Phooey. I liked him. I wonder who they'll replace him with.

Tottenham Hotspur Clean House, Dump Coach Juande Ramos
For some reason, I like Harry. I think that he'll keep them up this season.
