Live Blog: Italy Vs. Australia
As we continue along the Round of 16 — these games really are quite more exciting when they loser goes home — we start off your weekday live blogging with a team representing a country that was founded by the exiled convicts of another country ... and, much worse, a team that tied the United State...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 11 a.m. ESPYs with Buzzmaster: Any way we could get Ozzie Guillen to host this? • 1 p.m. Knicks protester Mr. Orange: There is no Mr. Orange. You're Mr. Brown, because I say you're Mr. Brown. End of story. Be happy you're not Mr. Yello...

About Last Night ...
What you missed while spray painting your cat to look like a skunk ... • NASCAR: This Jeff Gordon fellow; he drive very fast, no? • College World Series: We're not that familiar with the term "decisive Game 3," around here, but evidently Oregon State has forced that by beating North Carolina, 11-7. ...
About Last Night...
• College World Series: UNC 4, Oregon State 3. A passed ball and a steal of home of gives Game 1 to the 'Heels. Beavers are left completely unsatisfied. • MLS: Galaxy 0-0 Dynamo. Some World Cup players returned home for some MLS action, but Landon Donovan didn't play for the Galaxy. Which means he d...
The French Are Shockingly Persistent With This
The French media's treatment of Lance Armstrong is starting to make the American media's treatment of Barry Bonds look downright Jason McElwain-ish. They're still hung up on the idea that they can somehow prove that Lance Armstrong used steroids, EPO, or some other sort of performance enhancer....
About Last Night...
• MLB: Mets 6, Blue Jays 1. Tom Glavine wins #286, and is now tied for 25th all-time with Robin Roberts. SportsCenter, Good Morning America, 286 wins... is there nothing that woman can't do? Game recap here at MiracleMets.net. • Track and Field: Marion Jones, Justin Gatlin win 100m events. American ...
They're Baaaack ... What They're Saying About Clemens and Pujols
It was the day we've all been waiting for; sitting on the edge of our bed in our Cardinals pajamas (your pajamas may vary). The glorious return of Albert Pujols and Roger Clemens. And even though both got upstaged (by Anthony Reyes and Francisco Liriano, respectively) and their teams lost on Thurs...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 11 a.m. MLB with Jerry Crasnick: Turns out Victor Conte was behind the release of the movie Gigli as well. That heartless bastard. • Noon NFL with Keith Kidd: With college games freely available on TV, aren't NFL scouts kind of, um, wo...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while getting in some extra toadying at the office ... • World Cup: Brazil 4, Japan 1. OK, Ronaldo is fat. But to paraphrase Lincoln's quote on Grant, "Tell me what food that Ronaldo likes. I would like to send some to my other players." • Perfect 10: Braves still stick in the well, ...

Non-Retired Guy Comes Out Of Non-Retirement To Non-Retire
Our long national nightmare is over: Roger Clemens is back. How did we ever make it so long without him? His "return," obviously, would have a little more resonance if he had, you know, ever left, but whatever. He's back. Playing the Twins. We hope Bat Girl comes up with a Lego version of him....
Live Blog: Australia Vs. Croatia
This game is deceptively underbilled; it's pretty huge, actually. If Australia earns a tie or a win, the Socceroos will advance to the next round; a win for Croatia does the same for them, barring something crazy from Japan against Brazil. It's rare that this round of games end up with two teams pla...
Well, That Was Miserable
Yeah! Soccer! Reading through the comments from the United States-Ghana live blog — the United States lost, by the way, if you didn't hear — pretty much prepared us for the postgame comments of ESPN analyst Eric Wynalda (whom we've actually enjoyed thus far): "Bruce Arena screwed up this World Cup f...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 10 a.m. Fantasy Baseball Focus: With the acquisition of Chone Figgins, at last my three-year master plan is complete. World domination is mine! Ah ha ha ha ha! • 10 a.m. Buzzmaster: USA vs. Ghana: Oh sorry Ghana, we didn't see you; we ...
Live Blog: United States Vs. Ghana
Well, here we go: It's the game that will let us know whether we're gonna have a rollicking drunk Tuesday 11 a.m. party next week, or whether ... well, whether the United States will be playing during said drunkenness. As you know, the United States needs an Italian win and a win here, both of whi...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while you and the other Wiccans were celebrating the summer solstice ... • MLB: No streak for you! Marlins can't reel in 10th straight win, lose to Bedard, Orioles. • World Cup: Several Portugese players injure themselves trying to pronounce "Gelsenkirchen," but beat Mexico anyway, 2...
Not That Many Hours Left 'Til Gametime
Since it's a one of those 10 a.m. starts tomorrow, we figure this is as close to a preview of tomorrow's United States vs. Ghana matchup as we're going to get, considering the sleep schedules of your average Deadspin reader....
Live Blog: Serbia & Montenegro Vs. Cote d'Ivoire
OK, so fine: This is another one of those games that doesn't mean anything. The Poland-Costa Rica game yesterday was supposedly "meaningless" too, and that didn't stop it from being perhaps the most entertaining game of the day....
