An Iraqi football player has been shot dead by a spectator as he was about to score an equalising goal. The shooting happened in the last minute of a game between two local rivals on Sunday, police say. The striker was shot in the head during the match in the city of Hilla, according to local security officials. The game was being played between Sinjar and Buhayra. The suspected killer has been arrested as police carry out an investigation
This is beyond insane. I mean this stuff isn’t even remotely comical. It’s one thing for Ron Artest to shoot up into the stands when he’s being heckled. It’s another thing for fans to be insanely loyal to their favorite sports team. But shooting a player on the opposing team? This is the kind of thing you don’t even see in the movies.
And I think many of us knew or know how crazy soccer tends to get outside of this country. Riots seem to ensue every year and violence is prevalent.
But come guys. I don’t know what the hell games these people are watching over there because frankly the sport just isn’t exciting. And I’m sure if I told that to someone over there, that I’d probably get shot myself.
Well, I’m guessing that whoever did this really needs stop watching this sport. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the Iraqi player who was simply doing his job. This sh*t has to stop.
I told you guys I love to make fun of soccer. Granted I’m giving them the hot chicks, and am conceding that many European players (even the ugly ones) can pull some serious tail. While I will never understand this, there’s just too much evidence and no matter how you cut it, Soccer or Football is a humongous sport.
But with success parody will most certainly follow. And what better a parody then exposing the more “fun” side of soccer: The unintentional gay picture. And while these pictures are certainly available in other sports, isn’t it just more fun in soccer?
I admit it. I’m not a huge fan of soccer. I used to play it as a kid and the sport was extremely fun….to play. But to watch? It’s hard for me to take 90 minutes out of my day to watch a sport with little scoring and guys falling on the ground pretending to cry a lot.
Don’t get me wrong. I know it takes tremendous skill, agility, etc etc. But it’s just how I feel. At least in hockey there are fights. However, I will say this. Soccer players get ridiculously hot chicks. And I suppose I understand given that soccer is so popular abroad.
Still doesn’t mean I should like it. It’s one thing if a very handsome guy gets the hot chick. That at least is the natural order of things. However, some combinations are down right unfair to the existence of man. But hey, good for these guys right? RIGHT? And yes I’m jealous so all you commenters can knock those comments to rest, thanks.
Here are 9 mismatches where by some miracle the soccer player actually landed one of these chicks.
Clearly my admiration for the sport of soccer isn’t growing in the “respect for the game” category. However, I will say that beach soccer is pretty cool. Why? Because it’s always fun. After all, they played it in Karate Kid, so it’s cool in my book.
But anytime you can take beach soccer like the European Beach Soccer League and add some amazingly hot cheerleaders into the mix, well then you’ve got yourself a product. However, this league may want to think about its marketing strategy. There’s not even a website yet. And if there is, I couldn’t find it.
I’m pretty sure if you anointed me the new commissioner of this league, I could get it to star status in less than a year. If any of you blokes out there in the Euro Beach Circuit are reading this, drop me a line and we’ll talk.
In the meantime, these pictures are why soccer has a chance at getting better
A woman trying to make “manure bombs” using stockings, slipped into a slurry tank and fled the scene naked, German police said Friday.
Two women entered a farm in the northern village of Eberholzen Wednesday evening and started to fill the stockings with manure.
Police said it was unclear what the women had intended to do with the “manure bombs,” but added the incident could be linked to victory celebrations surrounding the Euro 2008 semi-finals on Wednesday evening, when Germany beat Turkey 3-2.
All I have to say is that any question of who the dirtiest, kinkiest, nastiest people are when it comes to any sexual or celebratory event has been put to rest by Zee Germans.
“Austria drew first blood on Sunday when their topless women’s soccer team beat Germany 10-5.
The traditional swapping of shirts afterwards was not an option as the six-a-side teams wore nothing but thongs, with the national colors painted on to their bare skin.”

“I was supposed to hold the balls but I really have no idea how to do that,” said German keeper Jana Bach.
Unfortunately there weren’t too many SFW pictures. To see the real NSFW pics of the event you can check out the articles at Funtasticus and the Slanch Report.
When the worst possible thing out of a combination of beer, women, a place where people party for Spring Break, and soccer, is soccer (which is technically the most popular sport in the world) then you know you’re in good shape.
Soccer may not be my favorite sport in the world but I tell ya. They sure know what they’re doing down in Mexico.
Here are a few Corona ladies that make my case more viable.
In case you don’t know who Spencer Tunick is, “Tunick has made a name for himself with his works featuring hundreds of naked people at unusual venues.”
In other words, the guy has used art as an excuse to fulfill his very odd sex fantasies. And clearly he was in another zone at this year’s Euro Stadium.
The article goes on to say, “much of the hours-long photo shoot had little to do with soccer, with naked volunteers assuming different poses at the behest of the artist. But at least one of the photos had them with the ball, men first and then the women.”
For more of Spencer Tunick’s work I suggest you visit his website as posting all of his work on here could be a little shady.
