Today Manchester United played an exhibition match against Oxford United. Manchester United won 4-1, 2 of the goals were scored by Cristiano Ronaldo. He ends up scoring two really nice goals. And the season just started for him.

And first.

But then.

Who remembers having such great youth sports coaches? This with Samuel L. Jackson reprising his role as Jules Winnfield as a youth sports ice hockey coach is about as enjoyable as it gets. Thanks Shazfazam. It was found in the annals of youtube. Please help identify it, before it gets pulled! Damn you copyright!

It was made for the ESPY Awards a few years ago; they used it to introduce an award for (I think) Gretzsky.

Dailymail has revealed the words uttered to Zidane in an article. A lip reading linguist tells us the words sparked the awesome headbutt on Marco Matterazzi. Matterazzi, the wonderful mouth piece of racist Italy called Zidane the Italian equivalent of 'n*****'., Then Matterazzi and then insulted both his mother and his Muslim background by saying he is the 'son of a terrorist whore. Which as S. Hassan guessed yesterday, is a pretty serious thing to say to a Muslim man.

Finding out that Matterazzi spoke such vile words do not matter. They show nor prove anything. The Italians won the 2006 World Cup. It was bad form and a lack of class. But footballers dont always need class to get the glory. Even with France dominating from the 60th minute, they ended by missing a penalty kick.

It may actually be that I guess we're all going through some soccer withdrawal after having the gooey goodness of a whole month of World Cup Maddness. It was unexpected to be enjoying the game were enganging each other with conversations about the game and what actually happened instead of what happend to the hip hop career of Clint Dempsey.

The disscussion lives on two days and counting. Reddit Comments, Digg Comments.

"There are only 3 things that would make a Muslim angry enough to do that. The Italian guy either insulted his mother, his sister or his daughter." - Shirjeel Hassan.

Zinedine Yazid Zidane, France's legendary midfielder completely lost his head in the world cup final versus Italy in the closing moments of the 110th minute. France certainly missed having Zidane in the penalty shootout that followed. The cameras told a story of muslim aggression, but in the following days, a newer better story will surface with nipple tweaking and your mamma jokes told in a dirty Italian accent. Wait...that stuff goes on in soccer? No way!

Searching youtube, you'll find plenty of different accounts and reactions of the incident. The "exclusive" angle, the super Mario cut--basically these will live on for many internet days to come, thank you Zidane!

What actually occurred will be debated until a definitive answer from Zidane and or Materazzi. In the meantime, video gets uploaded as quickly it gets pulled because of copyright infringement. Certainly there will be many more stories to come about this whole thing, but in the meantime enjoy watching the Materazzi video.

The Associated Press has put out some scenarios
Soccernet

For the U.S. team to advance, it must defeat Ghana in its last game. In addition to beating Ghana, the United States needs one of these scenarios to take place:

1. Italy defeats the Czech Republic.

2. Italy ties the Czech Republic 0-0 or 1-1 AND the United States beats Ghana by at least four goals.

3. Italy ties the Czech Republic 2-2 or with a higher score AND the United States beats Ghana by five or more goals.

4. Italy ties the Czech Republic 2-2 or with a higher score AND the United States beats Ghana by four goals AND the U.S. team scores at least three goals more than the Czechs do in their tie.

Read the rest somewhere else...

The SomethingSports bloggers headed to Fado , probably Philadelphia's premier Soccer/Football/World Cup hangout for fans of any team to come view all the matches. Fado is very poorly illuminated which makes it perfect for television viewing, unlike a Champs or a Fox & Hound; Fado is tiny and filled with narrow walkways. The televisions are plentiful and positioned for either watching at the bar or seated. The food is actually quite forgettable and not worth mentioning. The drinks on tap are of good variety, (Yuengling, smithwicks, Guinness, Harp, Victory, etc). The real reason to come is being able to watch your favorite team standing side by side with fellow countrymen and possibly a Somethingsports blogger as well.

Listening to the world cup at work? Wish you could freeze time and watch those clips, here with the magic of the recorded internet video you can!

The World Cups video highlights [via yahoo sports and fifa]

Enjoy two minutes of the best action from each game soon after the final whistle. These highlights which include all the goals are exclusive to FIFAworldcup.com

I'm sure clips will surface on YouTube and will promptly be shut down by FIFA.

I've been living in the Philly area for 16 years and I've supported all of the major Philly sports teams except for the Phillies. Why exclude the Phillies? Because they've sucked for most of those 16 years. Do you know that the Phillies have more losses in the 20th century than ANYONE!? Yes, I know they had one great year of reaching the world series but after that it was just horrible. Even in the last few seasons the Phillies have had a stronger team than the Braves and have still lost out the division to them. What a bunch of suck asses.

But their is one new phenomenon on the Phillies that has peaked my interest. It goes by the name of Ryan Howard and it likes to hit home runs. The reigning National League Rookie of the Year that sent the beloved Jim "The Fat Homie" Thome packing. As of June 1, 2006 his stats are the following with his rank in National League in parenthesis: 18 Homeruns (3), 47 RBI (3) , .604 SLG (4). Those are great power hitter stats. Did I mention that his 13 homeruns in May lead the league and that he has 11 opposite field homeruns? Amazing. If you are like me and have ignored the Phillies for most of your life, now their is a reason to pay attention.
