Could this woman take down England's World Cup chances?
This is Vanessa Perroncel. If you’re not familiar with that name, I’m not surprised. She’s really only been in the news for the last 10 days or so, since the revelations came out regarding England and Chelsea captain John Terry. Supposedly, Terry slept with lovely Miss Vanessa while she was paired up with another England and Chelsea player, fullback Wayne Bridge. Oh, and Bridge and Terry were best mates. Oh, and Terry is married and has twins. Oh, and Vanessa got pregnant from the affair. Oh, and Terry paid for the abortion.
Oh.
So, right, that’s all well and good, but now word comes out that apparently this same scenario played out with the United States 1998 World Cup squad with two names very familiar to American footy fans. Supposedly, John Harkes (currently employed by ESPN) was having an affair with Eric Wynalda’s (Wynalda currently works for Fox Soccer Channel) wife at the time, and Harkes was dumped unceremoniously from the World Cup squad. Classy. Apparently, footy wives and girlfriends really really like footy players of all shapes, sizes and relationships. Let that be a lesson to you youngsters out there. Right. So, let’s get on with commenting. You’ve got Heat/Celtics on ESPN, Kansas/Colorado on the Deuce and Enter the Dragon on AMC. How can you go wrong? Have at it, kids.
With all this nefarious backstory, I just have to assume that Edson Buddle was totally tapping Bianca Kajlich and that was behind Landon Donovan’s move to Everton. What choice do I have?
If anyone would like to buy a SWEET Nike PSV Eindhoven tracksuit top that is marked “Large” but fits more like a small or x-small, email me here at the website, avoidingthedrop@gmail.com
I hate Euro sizing. Beware of buying kits from club websites. Much smaller than the American equivs.
Surprisingly, I didn’t have any issues with the kit I bought from Everton. But I have had problems anytime I’ve bought clothing from France – and no, I’m not really surprised about that.
If it’s a Nike-made kit, that’s probably right. I’ve had issues with other makers sizes (like Puma particularly) being WAY smaller than the American equivs.
We do need a picture of you in the Everton kit, dear.
I’ll wear it to the first Union game I attend, howzat?
So, June then. We only have two home matches from April until the new stadium opens in June.
Yeah, I know. Sorta crappy schedule, but whatdya gonna do? I mean, putting it on over a tank top and sweatpants just to snap a picture in the mirror is kinda shitty.
What Everton kit did you end up getting? I know you were looking for the older keeper kit, but had no success finding it…
I never did find the 08/09 keeper l/s in teal. I got the grey keeper l/s instead.
I’ve got my eye on a l/s Nottingham Forest kit right now. It shall be mine, oh yes.
At least my SNT calendar fits.
/dis-gruntled.
Looks like the pubcast will be tomorrow, for anyone overly concerned. I’m sure you’ll all sleep better tonight.
Pubcast? Wait, what did I miss?
JB and I are cocked and locked. Or something. Would have been tonight but his voice took a powder.
I wasn’t aware you guys were doing the ‘cast again. But JB’s been off the radar for so long, I admit I have no idea what he’s up to, LOL
Well, we’ll see how it goes. We have some ideas. It’s going to be a work in progress.
Sigh. A warm puppy is still one of the best things to hold on a winter night.
I’m not ashamed to admit that I did whatever the web equivilent of “tuning out” is during all that soccer talk.
Good evening folks. I’ll be in and out and lurking for the night.
So you’re a Philistine. It’s okay, someone has to be. I like you anyway.
Not ashamed to admit it, either.
/smooches
*evil giggle*
Trying to subscribe to the TPP Podcast on iTunes, and it’s being a cast-iron bastard. Any suggestions?
Never mind, it was just out for a smoke break. Downloaded episode 1, will listen during the inevitably slow Thursday workday.
I really, really wish I could listen to podcasts while I worked. It would increase my productivity about 125%, and make me a happier employee.
Fuckers.
I’ve a friend who works in a science lab all day, and they’re not allowed the internet, music (not even iPods), or cellphones. And yet management can’t understand the poor employee morale.
I get why I can’t. I work around (not directly with) customers for a minimum of 1/2 my shift. However, the other half, I work by myself (or with my coworker), and end up talking to myself anyway.
Of course, at the Blue Shirt store, I’m allowed to jam to the XM, or my iPod, or whatever I want to bring in so long as the customers don’t hear it.
it’s a wonder why the morale at my part time job is os much better than the full time job.
Exactly. Happy cows make happy cheese. Or something.
Uh… “happy cows” is a California slogan. By law, I’m not allowed to agree with that theory.
Oh, right. Well, I did say “or something”. Happy cheese curds???
Happy cows make guilt-free steak
Moo moo NOMNOMNOM?
If the cheese people had any sense they’d make those dippy cows the new Clydesdales–
And it could be an idea for some kitschy art–yes?
hahahaaa, the first thing i think of is a cow, pole dancing. and I mean a bovine, not a fat human woman.
cows–pole dancing–the ultimate definition of cheese!
as usual, brilliant!
In case there are any futbol fans here, there’s this: Pompey sold again?

If United weren’t inevitably fucked (barring sale), I’d be pissing myself laughing at this.
It almost kinda sorta sounds like he repossessed the club after they defaulted on their loans.
‘kay gang, rack time for me. catch you on the flip side.
The Thursday Challenge is done, look for it in the morning!
