The Quadrennial Global Round-Ball Extravaganza
Barmymoo:
Today is like sport ULTIMATE here: not only are the UK playing but it's also the Bumps so if you're not into football you can get into rowing. It's crazy in town.

Several years ago my beloved appreciated tolerated Queens Park Rangers had a pretty handy defender with the inifinitely cherishable name of Danny Shittu. I always wondered what happened to him after he left QPR; turns out he's playing for Nigeria!
Inlander:
I for one cannot wait for the surely inevitable confluence of Messi and Shittu.
Inlander:
Argentina score!! In the thoroughly un-Argentinian manner of a header from a corner; but on the other hand, the guy who scored it is called Heinze so I guess it's pretty fitting in that regard. I remember when Germany beat Saudi Arabia 7-0 or 8-0 or something, and all but one of their goals came from headers from corners or free kicks. (Heinze's header was better than any of those tedious efforts, though.)
Inlander:
One of my most abiding football memories is of a match played between Argentina and Australia. It was the final qualifier for the World Cup, way back in the days when Australia qualified through Oceania and then, having finished putting seventeen goals past the Solomon Islands, had to try to beat the fifth-placed South American side to win a place in the World Cup (or World Cup Finals if you want to be technical). Anyway, Australia were playing Argentina, and in the Argentian team was a certain gentleman with flame-red hair and the palest of pale skin. His name? Carlos McAlister.
