Modeling underwear is SERIOUS BUSINESS so NO SMILING allowed!

L.A. Galaxy Win MLS Championship

David Beckham delivers a Championship to LA

Love him or hate him, the boy can play fucking soccer almost better than anyone in the world. He is in the elite upper-eschelon of the sport and there are only a handful up there with him.

Sunday night in Los Angeles, MLS team Galaxy, won their first Championship. They owe it all to Beckham who went balls out for a trophy.

It was a rough start for the Englishman, when he moved his famous family to California to compete in the US MLS. David was injured and it was a slow recovery but at the 5 year mark, with his contract at an end, he delivered the goods.

Real Madrid Wins a Cup - Then Loses It

Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winning goal

This is pretty funny.

Soccer Superstars Real Madrid were celebrating their Copa del Rey cup win (which is huge. It's the Spanish "World" Cup) over Barcelona, with a parade and the entire team atop an open-topped double-decker bus.

Things were going great...cup win...parade...adoring fans going crazy and then...Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos DROPPED THE FUCKING THING IN FRONT OF THE BUS...WHICH PROMPTLY RAN IT OVER! HA!





The pictures are hilarious! Can you believe that?!

Wayne Rooney - Neanderthal, Thug or Asshole? All Three? Yeah

Yes, we think he's an asshole too.

Maybe it's that Fugly Ass face of his.

But his attitude makes it so much worse. The Manchester United striker scored a hat trick on Saturday and afterwards celebrated in true Rooney fashion. He started cursing on air, shocking apparently all of England. As punishment he has been suspended for two matches.

Read this article to get the full gist of why everyone hates this guy and his equally fugly WAG.

Main Daily News Article

Oh, and he lost his Coca Cola deal today too. Too bad.

"Coca-Cola has permanently ended its relationship with Wayne Rooney, who was initially dropped from the soft drink company's ad campaigns following allegations over his private life.

Manchester United striker Rooney was the face of Coke Zero, with his image appearing on cans and bottles until last September, when he allegedly cheated on his then-pregnant wife with a prostitute."

It wasn't alleged either. He's a douchebag.

Soccer Ticket? Check. Rally Towel? Check. Dead Body? Check.

And in really awesome soccer news...

"Friends brought a coffin with the body of a 17-year-old boy into a soccer match Sunday between Cucuta Deportivo and Envigado, according to Colombia Reports. Christopher Jacome, a big fan of Cucuta, was gunned down Saturday in a local park while playing soccer, according to the paper.

Friends of Jacome took his body from the funeral home after the wake and brought it into General Santander Stadium for the game.

"They don't let in the fanatics, but yes, a cadaver. This is the only part of the world where this has happened," Julio Rivera, medic for Cucuta, told the paper. Stadium officials say they will hold a meeting to find out who allowed the dead body to be brought to the match."

Now that's loyalty! Their friend is going to be buried forever, so why not bring him to one last game?

Soccer News

The Men's US team played a friendly against Argentina last night that led to a 1-1 tie. Overall, the US team played very well against an Argentinian monster with Lional Messi scoring 1 and coming close to scoring another 3 or 4 himself alone.

The domestic MLS season has started with all US teams in their second week. The Philadelphia Union are 2-0 having won both matches they played 1-0. So far the new goalie, phenom Faryd Mondragon, is working out VERY WELL. And of course, Fan Favorite Sebastien Le Toux, had a hand (or in this case foot!) in BOTH goals with assists. Le Toux is easily the best player in the entire league.



The Union take on the L.A. Galaxy next week in LA so look for Le Toux and Company to kick David Beckham's and Landon Donvan's asses in.

PHILA-DELPHIA UUUUUUUUUNION!

Seeing RED

An unprecedented 36 red cards were given out by a referee at an Argentinean soccer match between rival teams Claypole and Victoriano Arenas.

The referee set a record by dismissing all the players, substitutes and coaches!

Apparently there was a huge melee when a mass brawl erupted that saw the managers and coaches..and fans...enter the pitch with their fists flying.

The ref, Rubino, just went nuts and gave EVERYONE in sight a red card.

"Rubino's red cards could yet be overruled by the local FA according to reports.

Not content with that, the technical staff also fell foul of our man in the middle leaving one manager begging to be locked away for his own safety.

Arenas boss Domingo Sganga pleaded with police to detain furious opposition players, insisting: 'They wanted to kill me'"

SHOCK: Animal Cruelty at Soccer Match

A Columbian soccer match between Barranquilla and Pereira turned ugly when the Pereira's team mascot, an owl, landed on the field and was hit by a ball and injured. Things got REALLY BAD when a Barranquilla player, Luis Moreno, ran to the bird and kicked it. Hard.

The crowd went wild, screaming "Murderer, Murderer!" Moreno had to be escorted off the field and off the premises by police when the crowd threatened to kill him.

It wasn't just the fans who were angry either. As soon as he had kicked the animal, Moreno was confronted by angry Junior players on the pitch.

'I was so angry he hit the little animal, especially after it had already been hit by the ball,' Junior striker Luis Paez told El Heraldo newspaper. 'I told him a bunch of rude things, I really felt enraged.'

Moreno left the Metropolitano ground under heavy police guard and later said sorry for hurting the owl, which lives in the stadium.

'I apologize to the fans, it wasn't my intention, I did it to see if the owl could fly,' said Moreno."

BULLSHIT! No he did not. Having viewed the videotape it is our opinion that this asshole was trying to just clear the field, with no regard to the injured bird. It was just an object to be booted away to make room for the game. It's the lamest excuse we've ever heard.

Anyway, "The incident has also caused anger among animal welfare groups and the president of the Animal and Environmental Network, Marcela Ramirez, has called for a protest in front of the Nacional Soccer building in Bogotato demand sanctions against Moreno." He also faces 1 to 3 months in prison plus a hefty fine.

The owl which lived in the stadium and has been a good luck charm for the team, later died of it's injuries. Injuries directly related to the player and not the initial hit.

Columbia does not have any animal cruelty laws. This guy will be charged with other things like 'property damage' and that sort of thing.

It is our hope that this incident which caused national outrage will change all that. This little owl may have died but perhaps not in vain. Through this public act of cruelty the people of Columbia may write laws to protect all animals.

Chrissy's Girlfriend Lands SI Swimsuit Cover

Meet Irina Shayk, Christiano Ronaldo's hot Russian girlfriend. She was just picked to be Sports Illustrated coveted Swimsuit cover model. The cover was released today and we're guessing it comes out later this week. The cover girl always has a a few pages inside too, so look for Irina to be talked about all over the place very soon.

We're guessing she is what put the smile on his face. No?

Ronaldo Retires

Brazilian Soccer Superstar Legend Ronaldo retired today ending his 18 year career.

Ronaldo still holds the record for most World Cup goals ever scored with 15 and won World Cup twice in 1994 (America) and 2002 (Japan). He was only 20 when he won FIFA World Player of the Year in 1996, the youngest to this day to do so.

He won the European Cup Winners' Cup with Barca in 1997 and the 1998 UEFA Cup with Inter, scoring in the final of both competitions.

He helped Brazil win the Bronze Medal at the Atlanta 1996 Olympics.

"Il Fenomeno", The Phenomenon, he was dubbed as he went on to win two Spanish first division titles with Real in 2003 and 2007.

He has OVER 400 career goals. He was also Player of the Year in 2007.

In his own words: "Four years ago at Milan I discovered I was suffering from a complaint called hypothyroidism, which slows down your metabolism, and to control it I would have to take some hormones that are not permitted in football because of anti-doping rules," he said.

"The pain made me anticipate the end of my career. My career was beautiful, was wonderful. I've had many defeats but infinite victories."

"It's very hard to leave something that made me so happy," said Ronaldo, with sons Alex and Ronald by his side. "Mentally, I wanted to continue, but I have to acknowledge that I lost (the fight) to my body."

We think he is the second most famous Brazilian soccer player, the first being the incomparable Pele. And he also only has one name. Must be a Brazilian thing.

Happy Birthday Cristiano Ronaldo

Happy 26th to Crissy Ronaldo, the sexiest soccer player ever...

Is it just us or does he look like he belongs on Jersey Shore? Must be all that greased up hair gel and his major Situation! Or maybe the 7 pound rosary around his neck. Pauly D must be channeling Ronaldo or something...look at the fifth pic down. Holy shiz!

Let's just take a minute to pause what we are doing and appreciate those abs...

BREAKING NEWS: Roo's BACK IN!

This is a post about Wayne Rooney. But who wants to see his Fugly Face
when we've got DIEGO FORLAN to look at?

Holy Rollercoaster Ride, Batman!

Wayne Rooney, spoiled upstart star striker for Manchester United has had his wounded pride licked clean by Sir Alex Ferguson and has signed a FIVE year extension deal for millions of dollars to remain at Man U until 2015.

After this weeks earlier hissy fit, we had hoped ol' Roo would hit the road. Alas it is not to be.

So let's forget Rooney and his hawk-wife Coleen and concentrate on something good...let's play where in the world is DIEGO FORLAN?

When we last left off, the gorgeous Uruguayan footballer and former Manchester United striker had just won the GOLDEN BALL for his incredible scoring streak at the 2010 FIFA South African World Cup. Nowadays, Diego is with the Spanish club Atlético Madrid and has helped them to a 2-0 win over Internazionale to win the The European Super Cup (UEFA Super Cup), this past August.

However, ever since, Forlan has been in a super-slump that has seen him scoreless in the past 8 games.

In the news just today:

"(Forlan's boss at Atlético Madrid), Sanchez Flores also backed striker Diego Forlan to end his scoring drought after another blank made it eight games without a goal for the Uruguayan.

"Sometimes you have to have patience with him,'' he said. "I think he will be a very important player throughout the season.''

Sergio Aguero, who came on for Forlan midway through the second half against Rosenborg and scored a minute later, added: "People say he is tired but Forlan is a key player for us."

Not the best of news but certainly not that bad. There's still a long season to go and we bet he'll snap out of the slump soon.

As it is a post about Rooney after all, here's a look at him and his boss and his beautiful-out-of-his-league-hawkish wife, Coleen.

Sir Alex and Wayne Rooney kiss and make-up
See the smile on Wayne's face? 25 Million will do that to a person.

Coleen "I'm not a hawk, I just look like one" Rooney
