First England Capt from Capello's Rotation is...



There was big speculation as to which player England manager Fabio Capello was going to give the captain's armband to. Here were the candidates:

John Terry: Chelsea's captain and was captain of England before Capello came along. He has the personality to lead England, but he has discipline problems. Chelsea is often in trouble with the refs and Terry not only has problems diminishing that, he is a big cause of it.

Steven Gerrard: Liverpool's captain and Capello's interim England captain. He can lead a team but at the expense of his own form.

David Beckham: Los Angeles Galaxy's captain and a former England captain. With his next cap being 100, it is (fake) tradition to make players with their 100 cap captain for that match.

So with all those choices, in true Capello fashion, he chooses Manchester United captain Rio Ferdinand. What's even funnier is that Capello says he's going to have a rotating captain system until the World Cup which pretty much means fuck you to everyone. We all know why he's using a rotating captain system: When the media and fans say a certain person should be captain, he'll pick the opposite. That is awesome. Just like I said, Capello does what he wants. Sometimes he does the opposite of what everyone wants just to show he's the man.

Liverpool, Mexico, and Capello

England boss Fabio Capello finally included David Beckham to the England squad because he sees him as fit. Capello critics claim he was either pressured to put Becks on or there was some sentimental aim that Capello is going for. These critics obviously have not followed Capello's career. For example, at Real Madrid, he benched soon to be legend Ronaldo because he was fat (which he was right), made Robinho a sub because Robinho didn't know how to be a team player with his 100 step overs (which he was right and if you notice this year, Robinho is a complete player now because of Capello), and booted off Beckham right after Becks signed with the Galaxy. Capello isn't an idiot either. Capello allowed Beckham when Capello wanted to, not when the fans or ownership wanted to. Capello let Beckham back on the England national team for the only reason that Capello wants to.

Mexico was in Olympic qualifiers against this group: Haiti (noobs), Canada (best player plays in MLS), and Guatemala (noobs). Mexico had a bunch of awesome overseas players and expensive ass FMF players. Well, long story short, Mexico tied and lost their two games and Canada beat Guatemala 5-0 because Guatemala left out their scrubs, which if you think about it means the terrible players out of the bad players. So it came down to Mexico needing to get a 5-0 against Haiti to even get a coin flip. 5-0 may sound like a lot in soccer, but Mexico is to the USA Dream Team as Haiti is to retarded, blind, blondes. Well, here's what happened:



That's right. The devil made them miss 10000000000000000 shots. This clip does not show how many open ass shots they missed. #19, who will remained unnamed because he's the bitch who missed 90% of the sitters, will probably need to uninstall his life before all of Mexico does it for him. So, yeah, Canada and Guatemala are in the Olympics and Mexico is not.

Liverpool and Manchester United played and Liverpool got fucked. The backstory is that Chelsea's Ashley Cole would not turn to face the ref to receive his card, so the refs cried that refs need to be respected. Liverpool's Mascherano, who already had a yellow card, had been badgering the ref for a while, and rightfully so because Manchester United was getting all the calls. Liverpool's Fernando Torres gets a yellow card for nothing, and Mascherano runs over to complain (which was probably a stupid move as is), and before Mascherano could even open his mouth the ref gives a card and sends Mascherano off. Well, 11 on 11 with ref calls is pretty impossible against Man U, but being down a man buttfucked Liverpool. The game was pretty much over at that moment. Wayne Rooney and Fergie tried to lie saying that the send off didn't matter, but they're bitches.

Look, I know refs don't deserve to get treated less than human, but you would think someone as experienced as the ref Barnett is would verbally tell Mascherano, "Look man, I know you're mad, but you need to be quiet. if you say one more thing, anything, I'm sending you off. Don't make me send you off in a game this important." A game of this importance, Barnett should have known sending Mascherano off would pretty much end the game. Terrible ref.

Under 23 Cuban team start with 10 men


In the movie Sicko, it argues that America should have universal health care because, fuck, Cuba has it. Well apparently Cuban health care isn't that good there because seven Cuban players defected.

After the 1-1 draw against the USA team, five Cubans decided to party and never come back.

Then in the match against Honduras, two more decided they were healthy enough to risk not having universal health care and ditched. Since they had one player on suspension from a red card, Cuba played with 10 players and no subs. Straight up gangster.

USA hates Mexicans, but for Cubans, there is a "wet soil, dry soil" rule where if a Cuban defects and lives on USA soil for a year, they automatically become citizens.

'This was a very irresponsible act of cowardice by these five players,' Antonio Garces, a Cuban Football Association official, told Reuters in Havana. 'They have betrayed their homeland,' the official said.

Yeah, either that or they realized that having our awesome food and being unhealthy is better than eating dirt but be in good health.

Champs Go Down, Brittania Rules

We're down to 9 teams in the UEFA Champions league, (with the ninth team, Inter Milan, hanging by a thread, trailing 0-2 heading into their second leg against Liverpool) and what we know so far is that we're going to have a new champion, and there's a 50/50 chance that champion is going to come from England.

Three of the so called Big 4 of English Football have already clinched spots in the final 8.




Most notable is Arsenal. The Gunners drew 0-0 at home in the first leg of their matchup with defending European champion AC Milan. In yesterday's second leg in Milan, a goal in the 84th minute from Cesc Fabregas broke a scoreless tie, and Emmanuel Adebayor put the game away minutes later, as Arsenal won 2-0 to advance to the quarterfinals. A crappy night for Kaka and AC Milan.



Also in the final 8 are Arsenal's fellow Londoners, Chelsea. The Greek side Olympiacos fought to a draw at home in the first leg, but they were no match for Chelsea in the second leg at Stamford Bridge. Michael Ballack scored on a header in the 5th minute, and Frank Lampard follwed 20 minutes later on a rebound to make it 2-0. Kalou added one for good measure early in the second half, and Chelsea cruised to an easy 3-0 victory to advance to the quarterfinals.



Manchester United had a more difficult time with French powerhouse Lyon, but advanced nonetheless. Carlos Tevez's goal in the 87th minute of the first leg at Lyon proved to be the most crucial of the series. It provided the Red Devils with a 1-1 aggregate heading into the second leg at Old Trafford, as Cristiano Ronaldo provided an insurance goal to seal it for United.





Finally, Liverpool got a pair of goals in the final 5 minutes of its first leg against Inter Milan, who played most of the game with only 10 men after Marco Materazzi (the same guy Zinedine Zidane famously head butted in the World Cup) got sent off in the 30th minute. The 2-0 win in the first leg sets Liverpool up for what could be a huge upset win over a team that's spent the whole season being perceived as one of the world's top 3 squads. Liverpool, meanwhile has had a subpar season, but if they can hold on in the second leg, they'll have at least one major achievement to speak of from 2007-2008.




So, given that it looks like there are going to be 4 English teams amongst the 8 Champions League semifinalists, the question has to be asked as to whether the rest of Europe's leagues even matter.

Specifically, it was a horrible round for Spain's La Liga. Real Madrid embarrassed La Liga by getting drummed out of the final 16 by Italy's AS Roma on a 4-2 aggregate, while mighty Barcelona got all it could handle from the rinky dink Scottish league's Celtic before advancing. Sevilla, the third team from La Liga in the final 16, got bounced by Fenerbahce, from Turkey.

Germany's Bundesliga has one team, Schalke, in the final 8, but that's largely because the luck of the draw gave them a matchup with Porto from the weak Portugese league.

The English Premiership may not have quite the star power that La Liga has. As of right now though, it's clearly the best league in the world by far. And save for a few spectacular players in Italy and Spain, England's is the only European league worth watching.
