This is awesome.

Nike has the best commercials.

 

That was fantastic. Loved bearded trailer Rooney.

 

That was great. Too bad they couldn't edit out Ronaldhino.

 

That part made me chuckle. He's still an alternate on their 30, so I suppose theoretically he could still go.

 

True, I would have rather seen Ocho Cinco in the video though :-)

If you are talking about your image embedding skills, then you're right.

Game time. Wish Ribery was playing. I'm guessing Inter takes this and we see Jose dancing on the sideline. Sneijder or Robben?

Sneijder and Milito are better than anyone on Bayern.

 

Milito's finishing in the box was superb. The best team won. The special one is going to be commanding a salary higher than most players. Too bad I have to hate him next year when he is at Real.

Stupid Comcast not having FSC plus. Watching SSFC play San Jose in regular-def sucks.

 

In a related note, every time I see SSFC play they just cut teams to ribbons in the attack, yet finish like every attacker is allergic to scoring.

Nkufo should help. Especially draw attention from Montero.

Robben and Ribery are both better than Milito. I love Milito because he just flat doesn't miss chances, but he's too slow to be at the pinnacle with players like Torres, Villa, Rooney, Drogba and Messi in terms of forwards. He's a perfect player for Mourinho's system though because with the focus on defense, they can't afford to miss chances.

 

Seriously though, the defensive organization of Inter today was just sexy. You could see the 4-2-3-1 shape flexing and then reassembling almost instantly with every stopped attack. Gorgeous.

Inter got back to Milan and immediately took the cup to San Siro, where 35,000 fans waited till 6am to greet them.

 

Respect.

I already put this in the graveyard that is the fantasy sports forum but this is mostly for the regulars in the Soccer thread.

 

Yahoo! World Cup 2010 pick'em group:

 

League ID: 10489

password: cubs

 

There are three intervals of picks, but you can choose the results starting now.

 

*Interval 1: first half of group stage

*Interval 2: second half of group stage

*Knockout: self-explanatory

 

Scoring is done similarly to a March Madness bracket.

If you guys haven't gotten a chance to check out Adam Spangler's profile of Sacha Kljestan over at www.thisisamericansoccer.com you should do so. It's excellent. Touches on the flaws in the US National set up as well as our pathetic coaching. Also shines some light on the transfer to Celtic that never happened and all of that.
