Did you spend the last 48 hours in your homemade duvet cave, eating nachos and taking in as much sport as possible between well deserved naps? We did.
In fact, we *may* have kept our duvets on for the trip to work. If you saw us on the tube, we can only apologise.
While everyone in England was caught up in the now traditional FA Cup bicker-fest, the rest of the European Leagues had a peculiar stillness about them this weekend.
Two women. Two crucial football matches. One widescreen TV. One slightly dodgy internet feed. Copious amounts of white wine & fruit juice.
Ain’t no party like a liver failure party and a liver failure party don’t stop.
Hearty congrats to the USWNT who are currently storming their way through the CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying tournament with so much ease that they’re actually attracting criticism.
Commentators noted that the matches vs. Guatemala and the Dominican Republic that finished 13-0 and 14-0, respectively, have lacked suspense – an allegation that striker Abby Wambach refutes.
Wambach, who scored two of the goals vs. Guatemala said,”We understand that 14-, 13-goal games can be looked down upon by some of our viewers, our fans, by fans of other countries, but the truth is we didn’t get our job done the last qualifying tournament, and this is a statement that we’re making to the rest of the world.”
So there.
Another editorial meeting has sadly ended in a fist fight, but never fear, folks! Before the riot vans arrived and broke up the scratching, hissing, potty mouthed messed rolling around the office floor, we managed to agree on bringing you intermittent news of the Africa Cup Of Nations.
This will include, but not be limited to, pictures of semi-naked players, breaking short tent news, and, if the bail money can be collected in time, the occasional result too. We’ll start by publishing a picture of Didier Drogba, who scored the only goal in tournament fave Ivory Coast’s 1-0 win over Sudan.
Thanks to his very perky pants, no less.
This weekend’s games offered their usual blend of record breaking rude boys, incomprehensible decision making and unnecessarily harsh twists of fate.
Be still our beating hearts; the summer break is a looooong way away.
Real talk: how many of you guestimated the measurements of Xavi’s youknowwhat?
We’ve got backchat, confusion and a massive moisture failure to deal with today, Kickettes.
What are you waiting for? An invitation?
