No pics of hot South Korean female fans? Disappointing.

Just kidding - though you wouldn't know it from their golfers.

How Under Armour Whiffed on the World Cup - Businessweek

That is pretty odd. from the article...

It’s not as if Under Armour doesn’t have a soccer product to sell. Its new cleats, dubbed Clutchfit FG, sell for Nike-esque $175 and have all the buzzwords that players look for these days: second-skin, footbed molds, a symmetrical lace system.

I am apparently out of the buzzword loop (since I stopped playing soccer about 10 years ago because all I did was injure my ankles after years of ankle abuse in my youth). I remember back in the day I just wanted some made with kangaroo leather. Sorry kangaroos, but you make the best soccer cleats.

Fifa response to #Maradona saying he was banned from entering Maracanã: 'Perhaps he just tried the wrong door':

Fascinating aspect of Cahill goal, his eyes already away from the ball. Already measured it up! Instinct.
