EPL Update

So for those of you who don't follow soccer/football, here are the latest league standings. Man U (whom my future husband, Cristiano Ronaldo) plays for is currently in the lead. It may look a little confusing but Arsenal has played 30 games and has acquired 67 points whereas Manchester United has a game to make up and which they will (hopefully) win!

Also, my future husband has scored 31 goals this season which is about 1 goal, I believe, shy of the current record for goals in a season. We have nine more games left in the season and I'm hoping he can score in every one and that we win the league championship.

"Drink, drink, wherever you may be,
We are the drunk and disorderly,
And we don't give a f*ck, and we don't give a sh*t,
We're coming home with the championship."

Ouch!

Arsenal striker Eduardo got fucked up over the weekend. He got tackled (slid into) by Birmingham's Martin Taylor (who?) and he is now out for the next nine months at least. That means Eddie won't be taking part in Euro 2008 and will not be able to help his team [possibly] claim various titles throughout the EPL. Arsene Wenger (Arsenal's manager) at first asked that Taylor be banned for life from football but he later retracted that statement as Eduardo himself stated he knew it was an accident. BTW, Eduardo just turned 25 yesterday. Happy fucking belated birthday!

I know this is wrong, and I really hope Eduardo makes a speedy and great recovery, but his absence could lead to ManU reclaiming top spot in the EPL table allowing us to win Champions League among other things. GO ManU!

Coming to America: Real Football

Real football does not consist of helmets and tights (although I will admit the tights got me to watch). The US is the only place that does not accept that soccer is the only real football out there but that is more than likely because we suck at it. I will frequently have posts about the greatest soccer league in the world, the English Premier League (EPL), and the fit, gorgeous men who take part.

It was just recently announced that the EPL may be coming to America starting in the 2010 season. Just thinking about watching Cristiano Ronaldo sweat live is making me want to do unmentionable things. The English don't want to share and hate the idea of the EPL coming stateside but I'll keep you posted.
