I meant to post this shortly after it was announced as this is actually a huge step forward.

When She Walks, The Revolution’s Coming*

You might remember in 2014, Corinne Diacre was named head coach of Ligue 2 club Clermont Foot. It made her the first woman to coach a men’s professional team to a league victory. I thought it was fabulous and posted about it here.

It’s Official: Rafa Out, Zizou In

After many breathless rumors with AS & Marca both reporting the coaching change, it’s finally official. The ‘Peez held a presser and Blanco legend Zizou takes over as coach.

I’m looking forward to seeing what Zizou can do. If nothing else, we know that we have the hottest coach in the universe. But I’d really much prefer that he’s hot AND we win. Now that Rafa is out, can we please ease up with the drama, Madrid?

The World Cup kicks off tomorrow and I couldn’t be more excited! Don’t forget that there is still time to join the HB & HB World Cup Pool (and for those who already signed up, don’t forget to make your picks!) But that’s not all we have planned!

URGENT: Real Madrid Vs. AC Milan Ticket Update

Well, I am beyond fucking pissed. Our ticket rep told me three days ago that they didn’t have a sale date for group or individual tickets for the match. I heard about a pre-sale for Yankees tickets holders and went to the website and what the fuck do I find? THIS.
