Ameritoon

Massive list http://www.footballgroundmap.com/ameritoon Been to a few other games that were at NFL stadiums, they don't count apparently. Don't even have the Silverdome in the WC94 map so I can click "non-football" to feel better about myself. (Actually, it's there, just not on the map dammit)

Was just looking at The Guardian's rankings as of now for the 32 teams, is South Korea really bad enough to be behind Australia? Them and Japan usually put two of the better, more technical sides out every four years.

Well, I mean he took in Egypt over in a time of crisis and stayed during a 'revolution' and a military coup, so this job seems about right.

Pretty shocking Edu is in the Premier League

They could've just swapped him with Hamsik and it would make way more sense. Here's one from ESPN http://a.espncdn.com//design05/images/2013/1120/missingworldcupxi_576x324.jpg

That's what I thought initially, but Stoke don't seem to think so. Sounds like the process went differently than normal and they weren't able to appeal for some reason. I didn't see much of him with the Revs, but I figure the same. Hopefully he goes to Holland or France, there's still a lot of developing for him to do. I couldn't believe a Premier League team would be interested in the first place.

Juan Agudelo's work permit was rejected, so he's not going to Stoke. Kind of a weird one, the deal's been in place for months and they're just now making the decision. Some over here blaming Greg Dyke, hope this doesn't start a trend of rejecting permits for young foreign players for the sake of shoehorning English players into the league.

Turned it off, only 5 more, right

At least you still have Flight of the Conchords

Never knew this, but apparently Walcott's uncle is David Yates and he almost made in appearance in a Harry Potter film, but had to drop out. The rest of his family were in it though, kind of sad we were robbed of that.

Incredible

Yohan

Yohan going for the always understandable testicle grab

Mandzukic sent off

Croatia 1-0, shame this draw was so shit

Should get a decent look at Brooks, also like Cameron getting time at RB. Really hope Johannsson and Altidore link up well, in theory they're a perfect partnership.

Missed it, glad I did

Going to be weird watching a World Cup without New Zealand

Mexico/New Zealand just kicked off

FIFA have done some terrible things, but this definitely tops it

Not branching out here, but Krul, Jonas and Ben Arfa probably. Maybe Tiote too, pretty sure he'd turn into a bull by the fifth or sixth drink. And Remy when I'm feeling particularly rapey

Good dude, need to get a physical centerback to partner with him next season. If he looks this good against someone who can't pass or run then it could only get better.

Excellent from Krul. Wish we didn't have to stop playing for 45' to pull out a 1-0 victory. I can accept Tottenham stepping up and putting more pressure on us, but it doesn't mean we can't even try to get forward. We outplayed them in the first ffs. But still, not really concerned if we taking 6 points from Chelsea and Spurs.
