World Cup countdown - T minus 43: Ladies men?

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

This is a funny ad suggesting a great place for women to visit during the World Cup. I am not buying into this. The problem is that Switzerland is in the World Cup and all you'll ever hear from these guys is " Hopp Schwyz". I doubt that ...

World Cup countdown - T minus 44: Goalkeepers, the perfect gentlemen?

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

Oliver Kahn in action. For all of you guys who think goalies are a bit far out there: You are right. Newly appointed benchwarmer Oliver Kahn shows us some of his work. Heiko Herrlich from Borussia Dortmund is kindly assisting.

World Cup countdown - T minus 45: Surprise surprise

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

Nice surprise for the goalie. Essen playing Chemnitz in the 3rd Division in Germany. Note: Soccer isn't 100% identical with chess. Sometimes it would be good to talk a little. The goalie certainly didn't see that one coming. Bummer.

World Cup countdown - T minus 46: Training camp Brazilian style

Monday, April 24th, 2006

Remember 199?. The year when Brazil's Ronaldo had that mysterious attack just before the final that they lost to France? They prepared for the tournament at the beach and Nike happened to be there with the camera. Two hearts are beating in my chest: I am getting a ...

World Cup countdown - T minus 49: Soccer stars meeting Bavarian casual world - beware of extreme weirdness!

Friday, April 21st, 2006

I've seen a lot of real weird commercials in my life but this (fake?) Pepsi commercial combining Trio's "Da Da Da" with Bavarian Lederhosen and fake soccer world cup stars tops it all. I don't think (and hope) the German squad will be very much looking like ...

World Cup countdown - T minus 50: Coaches can loose their temper too

Thursday, April 20th, 2006

Duisburg vs. Cologne: The coach stated that the player hit him and he fell down. Liar! See for yourself. Norbert Meier - the coach - lost his job two days after the game. Certainly a little dent in his career. Imagine Phil Jackson pulling off a stunt like that... On ...

World Cup countdown - T minus 51: Hitting the post

Wednesday, April 19th, 2006

A player hits the post. That happens thanks to the soccer gods. This one is slightly differently than what you might imagine. Imagine the reaction in the stands;-)

World Cup countdown - T minus 52: A quick visit to the Premier League

Tuesday, April 18th, 2006

Let's visit the Premier League today. Remember the first Iceman (before Kimi Raikonnen)? Dennis Bergkamp, the man that loves his road trips? The first scene shows him with his team Arsenal. Outstanding. I can't think of another striker that has played on such a high level for such a ...

World Cup countdown - T minus 53: Puma is in the house

Monday, April 17th, 2006

You now, Puma does soccer ads as well. Since their players are a little shy they'll have to work with this ball-juggling artist. A few tricks to try at home - if you have high ceilings and a glass break insurance. On a side-note: I walked into the Adidas ...

World Cup Countdown T minus 56: Rebel without a cause

Friday, April 14th, 2006

So you think that soccer in Brasil is always nice and pretty? NOT.AT.ALL! Take a look: Apparently a national game in Brazil. Usually you'd expect a guy like Roy Keanes in this scene but he had the day off… You wonder what preceeded that scene. A conversation including a comment ...
