6 Match Ban for Drogba

Remember this?? So yea, Drogba was banned for 6 matches for berating the ref after that controversial champions league game. Personally I think this was one of the greatest flip-outs of all time. But not better than Cantona destroying someone in the front row:

NSR: New Mos Def

Just writing this to let anybody who's a fan of Mos Def, or real hip-hop, that his new album came out last week and it is definitely his best since the classic Black on Both Sides. So if your a fan of Mos, Blackstar and other good hip-hop, I definitely recommend checking out this album immediately.

Where Will Ribery Go???

According to soccernet.com, it seems Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery is very much in demand these days. Supposedly Chelsea, Barcelona, and Manchester United have all tabled bids for his services, with Real Madrid possibly doing the same. Personally i'd like to see him go to Barcelona because then it will be even more fun to watch them destroy teams 200-1 with their beautiful passing game. Don't really want him to go to the EPL though, cause then I'll have to watch him tear up my baby gunners 4 times a year.

I'll leave with a highlight tape of his so the uninformed can know what type of skill these teams would be paying for...........enjoy:

Italy 3 - 1 USA Video Higlights

Overall I thought this was the best the US has played all year, even with a man down (oh yea, fuck you ref. Honestly that was the softest red I've ever seen. Whenever we play Italy we always get a soft ass red that ruins the game.) Ultimately a strong performance wasn't enough as things were again ruined by the ref vs Italy and they eventually succumbed to two tremendous strikes from Rossi(Fucking traitor.) and Derossi.

In my opinion I thought everybody presented themselves well, and there was little to not like about the effort put in by the Americans. What do you think? Did they play well? Do they have a shot vs Brazil on Thursday?

You Too Can Have Ibrahimovic for 90 Million Euros!

You too can have Zlatan Ibrahimovic on your team.............so long as you have 90 million euros or about $124 million. Just so you can see what you would be paying for, check out this cheeky back heel golazo that he pulled off against Atalanta a couple weeks ago. Is that worth 90 million euro? We'll see..

And for anyone that wants a straight web streaming option, they can go to Justin TV and simply type in "Confederations Cup."

Goal.com Q & A with Shalrie Joseph

Although he plays for the "other team" in the I-95 rivalry, hes ok with me due to the fact that he roots for the Gunners.
