London Calling and Caveman

  Guten Tag freunden! or as they say in the UK, 'Good Day'.

The drama continues. Will it ever stop?
 nah! it's fun when it happens to another team..and makes good fodder for blogs!!






 agian.....   HAHAHAHAHa
England got clobbered by Germany 4-1.

True, they got robbed on a Lampard non-goal that clearly crossed the line.  That is one Ref's Assistant that should lose his job. or maybe FIFA will consider a Video Review.  England Press our outraged! I'm not sure what you saw at home, but after further review, it looks like the ref was correct in not allowing a goal. (see photo) Rules state that the ball must completely cross the line!
In reality, it was futbol karma that bit the bewildered Brits in the behind.  In the '66 World Cup Final, England beat West Germany 4-2, the third Brit goal was eerily similar, bouncing off the underside of the crossbar, to the ground and out.   That one, however, did not cross the line, but the goal was allowed anyway.  I now break it down to Plato-nian Philosohpy: Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug!

Outside of that controversy, Deutschland was outstanding, running roughshod over a confused England defense in an offensive Blitzkreig.  That was good soccer.  Basically,  England played like the rusted, debilitated Jaguar XJ12 that sits under a blue tarp in my neighbors driveway. Contrarily, Germany played like a finely tuned BMW S1000RR superbike powering through the chicane at Laguna Seca raceway.

 So easy, even a caveman could do it!

Carlos 'Caveman' Tevez scored twice.  Afterward, Tevez was heard grunting "grrrrrr, I kick ball,  gnnnngggg, I score goal, grrrr". And a second shoutout to Coach Tom Lathrop of Westview High!

Meeting up with the Zampino siblings and ESPN's Rock of Production Managment, Jonathan Feder, here we enjoyed the buzz of Vuvuzelas from Block 531, row L.









Today brings match-ups of Netherlands vs Slovakia at 6:30aPT and then Brazil vs Chile at 11aPT.


I can't wait to see the passing of the Clockwork Orange and the samba-soccer of Brazil!

On another programming note. The Lion Whisperer story airs during our World Cup PrimeTime show, 2:30pPT.  This is an amazing tale of Kevin Richardson who walks among wild lions.  He wrestles, plays with and befriends a pride of lions. They accept him as one of their own.

Attendance at Soccer City Stadium announced at 87,413, which did not include the 87,413 Photogs, writer, announcers and miscellaneous press.

This fella invented the VHMED, the Vuvu Harmonic Modification Extension Device, giving it the sound of an ancient Shofar,  or some horn from Lord of The Rings battle scenes!

Though always aware of my own musical ineptitude, I can't figure out why my vuvu didn't quite sound the same.
