Goleo, We Hardly Knew Ye
The scene: a conference room somewhere in Germany. Men in business suits are seated around a long conference table.

Today In Soccer...
• Liverpool wins the FA Cup. Well, that one had to suck, if you're a West Ham fan. The Hammers were up by two goals in the final game for the championship of all of England... only to see Steven Gerrard score from way out in the 90th minute to the tie the game. Then, of course, Liverpool went on t...
The International Flavor Of The World Cup
It's probably not much of a surprise to you that the Germans don't think too highly of our beer. For some reason, they seem to prefer beers that are actually strong and flavorful. Unfortunately for them, if they're thirsting for an alcoholic beverage at the World Cup... it's gonna have to be the w...

World Cup, Lego Style
We're just a couple of months away from the World Cup — anybody planning on going, by the way? Let us know — and they're now very close to finishing the Allianz Arena, the huge arena built specifically for the World Cup.

We've got one for you; the tiny German village of Iffezheim is faced with the prospect of having 5,000 English soccer fans encamped nearby during the World Cup. From an art...
Sports Bras Of An Entirely Different Nature
