Just A Bunch Of Good Footcerific Stuff
This is the best footcer news day in ages. Not is Bruce Arena canned (but give five months notice) but Juventus was relegated and AC Milan was docked 15 points in the Italian scandal.
Does this mean that we'll finally have a competitive top league in Europe?
Probably not. It just means Inter Milan will run away with it.
Only a month until the Colaship starts though. :)
From a couple of days ago:
The World Cup ratings are in and wow.
The finals drew 17 million viewers (12 million on ABC and 5 million on Univision). This puts it on par with the NBA Finals and World Series deciding games.
And the future looks bright, at least to advertisers.
And, well, fuck off footcer haters, your time will soon be over. Get with it now or be confined to the dustbin of history. Among "the kids" (actual kids this time, 12-17), the rating increased almost 400 percent for this World Cup.
But possibly better news is that people are still talking about the "headbutt heard round the world."
There were actually two incidents in this World Cup that are going to have legs in the United States for years to come and while both involve violence, at least once and for all people are talking about the real aspects of footcer as opposed to ones that the media seems to manufacture that in no way resembles the real game.
And now people actually watched it again for the first time since the nation was caught up in hosting hysteria in 1994 and can remind the old fucker punditry that their eyes and the ears no longer agree with the lies and misinformation (see, the problem is it just takes us Yanks a little while longer to realize things since we're stubborn).
By the way, the new FIFA rankings are out today and thankfully the United States is no longer horribly inflated (due to a welcome update in the ranking procedures). Most importantly, England is now ranked much higher so hopefully the English won't be so uppity about the rankings anymore.
Though I suspect Australians aren't that happy right now. So as was once said on bigsoccer.com, "the circle of life continues."
