When I first spotted Larissa Riquelme, and her cell phone, in the stands during a World Cup game I had no idea she would become an international sensation. I didn't even know her name. But after being featured on the Poop Riquelme, a lingerie model in her native Paraguay said she would run through the streets in body -- JUST body paint -- if Paraguay won the World Cup. They didn't but she is going to anyway.
“It will be a present to all of the players, and for all the people in Paraguay to enjoy, because they tried as hard as possible and gave it their all on the field.”
Almost everyone watching World Cup coverage in America recognized the striking resemblance between the clean-cut Alexi Lalas and actor Peter Krause (Six Feet Under, Dirty Sexy Money, Parenthood)
During the Netherlands-Paraguay match the announcer recounted the recent struggles of Robin Van Persie
"Van Persie is just getting his match sharpness back bit by bit. He missed most of the season for Arsenal with a ruptured ankle ligament which required treatment from a lady who specializes in rubbing horse placenta on the injury in Belgrade. I don't think it shortened the recovery period for Van Persie."
On the way out of Vegas for the Conch's bachelor party I stopped by the sportsbook to pick up some long-term wagers to make this summer's sporting events more fun. My bet-with-your-heart wager on the USA to win group C pays off to the tune of 2.5 to 1. Not bad.
Pretty much the only reason a man does anything is because he hopes it will impress a girl. A hot girl he hopes to sleep with. Such was surely the case for Landon Donovan who is a talented soccer player but kind of dorky in appearance and especially voice. It should come as no surprise then than as soon as Donovan buried that shot in the back of the net to beat Algeria, he began thinking of a way to use it to get his hot wife back. It especially came as no surprise to me because I didn't even know that he had split with Bianca Kajlich, the hottie from Rules of Engagement. As Reissberg was informing me that they split (married in 2006, split in 2009, but divorce is not official), Donovan was on TV giving an interview, skip forward to see how it ends.
"Hi Bianca" And now there are reports that this ploy worked. Bianca was so impressed that he was thinking of her at this important moment that she wants him back. I hope these two kids rekindle their lost love.
It's a plastic horn common in South Africa. If you want to know what one sounds like turn on any World Cup game at any time. The fans are blowing them constantly. It sounds like swarm of angry bees is coming out of your TV and into your ear.
