The Cult Of Cristiano Spreads
I originally wrote this on the 3rd and meant to post this on the 4th (because the sentiment contained within pretty much matches the holiday) but, you know, drunkenness got in the way.
All I have to add is the real footcer winner as far as the United States goes is Cristiano Ronaldo. That is, at least among the ladies who don't hate footcer and are watching the World Cup. I was at this cookout with my indie friends and, damn, about five of them were drooling over Cristiano.
I am so mad at Wayne Rooney right now that I could, well, kick him in... No, I won't even go there. See, here's the thing. Even though FIFA officially announced that Wayne Rooney was red carded for kicking Ricardo Carvalho in an uncomfortable place, there are still those walking around calling Christiano Ronaldo a cheater.
What did Ronaldo do? He taunted Rooney until he lost his temper while the two were fighting for possession. Yeah, that's cheating. And he approached the referee to complain about the incident. Yeah that's cheating.
It was one thing to say that Christiano Ronaldo cheated when it was thought that Wayne Rooney could have been red carded for the direct incident with Ronaldo but only England fans honestly thought that it wasn't for the kick to the beans that Rooney gave Carvalho - while he was on the ground.
And now Steven Gerrard and Joe Cole are complaining that Christiano Ronaldo was out of order for complaining to the ref.
If anything the England team should be thankful to Ronaldo for complaining to the referee since the possibility could have existed that it would have distracted the ref from Rooney kicking a Portugese defender where the sun doesn't shine.
Yeah, there's no euphamisms about this - England should just have the balls to admit that Rooney's an idiot!
Oh and for cripes sakes! Hargreaves' performance was not a shock. I just love hearing, "he did so well, he'll probably play in the Premiership now." Sorry to burst the bubble but there are only three teams in the Premiership that are a step up from Bayern Munich.
One of them uses Essien in the Hargreaves role so they don't need him. Though one of them could sure use Hargreaves ever since they got rid of Viera. ;)
Finally, I hope MLS doesn't do anything to Youri Djorkaeff for choosing to be at the World Cup instead of with Red Bull New York. MLS shouldn't have even been playing during the World Cup.
Perhaps it was a not so silent protest by Youri about the fact that he's used to playing in leagues that respect FIFA events.
Though, saying that, there are other leagues that played during part of the World Cup (Colombia is the largest with at least Chile and Peru joining them) so MLS isn't alone but that's not really an excuse.
You know which country is in no danger of playing during the World Cup, though, Greece.
I've always said that Greece kills good footcer dead but it turns out it's not just on the pitch but in the back office as well.
