France is in
Wednesday, November 18, 2009
France is in the World Cup; Ireland is not; and Thierry Henry plays basket-foot-ball. Incredible as it is, the goal counts because not one of the 3 referees on the field saw the hand ball.
Was stopping the ball with his hand legal? Well, no...but because he didn't get caught then it was. Viva la France!

Real Madrid out of the King's cup already
A team from the Spanish third division knocked out of the King's Cup the mighty team of Real Madrid. If there's one thing we can say about football (soccer) is that it's
unpredictable.
The Spanish press is having a
ball pointing out that Real Madrid spent 250-million Euros to bring top players to their squad and was eliminated by Alarcon, a team for which the total budget for their whole season is equivalent to a month's salary for Cristiano Ronaldo.
