The Shirt Off Your Back

We’re all familiar with players throwing their game jerseys or training kits into the stands for fans at the end of games and workouts. Like Clint Dempsey did earlier this week, when he decided to trade his Seattle Sounders jersey for some popcorn from a young fan.

20 year old defender DeAndre (he’ll turn 21 on July 9) plays for MLS side Seattle Sounders. He has represented the United States at the U20 and senior levels. DeAndre has a sense of hair and fashion daring that leaves Neymar in the dust. Bless.  However, this is a big headband no-no, just sayin’

Memorial Day Bits & Bobs

Hope everyone in the US enjoyed their Memorial Day! I know I did. It was a beautiful sunny day and we had a fantastic view of the NY harbor from watishista DK’s roof deck. I’m sleepy from the heat and ready to get some sleep but first a few things…

First and most importantly, Robbie Rogers was subbed in for the last 13 minutes of the LA Galaxy’s 4-0 win over Seattle Sounders. In that moment, he became the first openly gay male to play in a major American professional sport. He was greeted with a standing ovation. I am so incredibly pleased for him. There’s a fan support page for him on Facebook if you want to go and send a little note of encouragement.

The Daily Drool: Freddie Ljungberg

I mean, really, what can you say about Freddie? Daily Drools were created with men like him in mind.  Not only known for his soccer exploits, he has also been a sought after male model for…obvious reasons. He sure does look good in a pair of undies, doesn’t he? He began his pro career with Swedish side Halmstads BK in 1994 and then moved to the EPL. He play with (1998-2007) and West Ham (2007-2008). He came to the MLS (Seattle Sounders  2009-2010, Chicago Fire 2010) and then went Scottish Premier League side Celtic (2010-2011).  On September 6, 2o11, he signed on to play for Japanese side Shimizu S-Pulse as a right winger.

3 Goals In 9 Minutes? No Problem For CR7.

And fangirl heads around the world exploded...

Ah, lovely! Some Criska to get the day started. If Cris performs this well after handholding with Kaka, they should start every game like this. A new ritual! I’m a bit slow on the uptake this morning because the game didn’t end until about 1:00 AM my time. I know some of you overseas had it much worse than I did, so I’ll stop complaining. Anyhow, coffee in hand, I take on the recap…
