Starcraft II

Is it weird that I am kind of excited for a video game?  I played the first Starcraft a ton when I was in middle school.  Yup, I was a nerd.

Probably not the best response



I guess some context is deserved.  I have copied and pasted this from goal.com


Following a goalless first half Concepcion took the lead through Vergara, who scored from long range on 64 minutes. Ten minutes later Rangers conceded a penalty and this is where all hell started to break loose.
Referee Marcelo Miranda called back the first penalty, which was successfully converted for encroachment. The second penalty was saved by the Rangers goalkeeper, but was then called back by the ref once more.
Clearly a little worried by the first two, Concepcion then changed their penalty taker and incredibly the third attempt was saved again. But again the ref ordered a retake before finally, on the fourth try, former Middlesbrough striker Hamilton Ricard scored to put the home side two up.
As one would imagine, the Rangers players were irate at this point and a bad tackle two minutes later saw at least half the team surround the referee with Paraguayan Jose Pedroso despairing of the officiating and strangling Marcelo Miranda.
Pedroso was subsequently sent off by a surprisingly calm referee and then had to be restrained by his team-mates before leaving the field. To add insult to injury Ricard scored again from a penalty to complete a 3-0 victory.
After the game Pedroso said: "I'm not sorry... I understand that I will be punished and I will no longer play for Rangers or any other team. I intend to get away from football, I'd rather be at peace with my family in Paraguay."

World Cup all ugly team

over the past month I have watched a lot of soccer games (or football matches, whatever).  From watching these games I have come to realize that there are a lot of ugly players out there.  I have decided to make my all ugly team.  Some are picked for obvious reasons and others for specific reasons.  Enjoy and be happy you don't look like these guys, but be envious of the money they probably make.  Before you think I am being mean with this just do a google image search of their names followed by wife or girlfriend.  They are doing ok, except for maybe Ribery, he has been linked to a 16 year old prostitute.

Goalkeeper: 

Faouzi Chaouchi (Algeria):  What a terrible terrible haircut.

Right Defense:




Pepe (Portugal): His full name is Képler Laveran Lima Ferreira.  Smudgy face.  


Center Defense:


John Terry (England):  Terry is more picked for having a 4 month affair with one of his teammates ex-girlfriends, he is married by the way.  When it all came out he lost his spot as team captain.  Good work.


Center Defense:


Carlos Puyol (Spain):  Member of Spinal Tap?

Left Defense:


Rigobert Song (Cameroon): Easy on the bleach buddy.

Left Mid:



Frank Ribery (France): This one is pretty obvious.  Did I mention that he also has been linked to a 16 year old prostitute?

Center Mid:


Zdeno Å trba (Slovakia): Not an attractive man.

Center Mid:


Mesut Ozil (Germany): He has some huge eyes.  Reminds me of a Tim Burton character or a lemur.


Right Mid: 


Dirk Kuyt (Netherlands):  I don't know why he is dressed as superman but awesome!  He looks like Sloth from Goonies.

Forward


Carlos Tevez (Argentina):  This guy must be part caveman.

Forward




Edinson Canvari (Uruguay): This one is picked because I don't like how he plays and he has braces.  Haha, brace face.


Some honorable mentions: Drogba's hair, Georgios Samaras, Arjen Robben (he is only 26 years old!), and Sebastian Abreu.  There are many more that could work but this were the first to come to mind.

Congratulations Spain.
