i just liked this because lionel messi (far left) looks like he is dressed for class pictures compared to his mostly brazilian teammates. also, none of them is taller than 5'7". not quite the fashion plates as some nba players but at least a c+ for effort.
this is an excerpt from a movie called the other final which documents an international friendly played between the two lowest ranked fifa teams on the same day as the 2002 world cup final. its bhutan vs. monserrat. im mostly posting it for the announcers description of the desconsolate goaltender after allowing in a direct kick. also the setting in bhutan is picturesque even if the field leaves much to be desired.
Is Charlie Brown a terrible manager? Yes. He’s no great tactician and no great leader, and his team’s record would make the Cleveland Spiders grateful. His blindness toward his own lack of talent, and the fact that he allows himself to overshadow Linus, his second-best player, are nearly villainous. He provides zero inspiration and often loses crucial games single-handedly. There’s no question he loves the game and works hard, but his refusal to innovate or even to mix things up is criminal on a losing ballclub. He really does deserve the criticism so often lobbed at him by his players.
kind of interested to watch sunday night on espn (or one of their channels) a new 30 for 30 documentary about the 1980 russian olympic hockey team.

watching the madison keys - serena williams aussie open semi final. serena is almost assured a win at this point but keys just fought off 8 match points to extend the match. shes a 19 year old american currently ranked 35th but looks like a real deal contender in the future. huge serve, lots of confidence and poise.
probably a dumb question but why are football teams in charge of the game balls?
im burying the vine because it autostarts for me.
