eleven a side

Amidst Spain’s post game celebrations the image that stood out most was that of one teary eyed Andrea Pirlo.

At 33 years-old, the 4-0 defeat marks the last time the world will ever see AP don an Italian jersey at the European Championship. Realistically, Pirlo may not even be a focal point in the Azzurri side for Brazil 2014.

A sad moment indeed, but for me, Andrea Pirlo will go down as one of the smoothest midfielders of this generation.

I was recently taken aback by the new Sigur Ros video which featured a straight up Shia Lebeouf dick shot. 

The story goes, Sigur Ros approached several different film directors, gave them a 10k budget, and told them to interpret the song however they saw fit as part of “The Valtari Mystery Film Experiment” 

Well low and behold somewhere in the midst of all of Alma Ha’rel creative juices, she envisioned a dick shot of Shia Lebeouf. Hey you want to know the easiest way to get 1 million views on YouTube? Make a music video, and somewhere in the video insert a random dick shot of a celebrity. BOOM! That’s a platinum hit right there.

Great, now when Im trying to focus on today’s Euro 2012 match between France and Spain I will probably have a random burst of laughter at the thought of a random celebrity dick shot in a music video. Oh yeah, there was tits and butt too.

See below for more(no pun intended).

Miroslav is so lethal for the German National Team. Nothing else needs to be said. 

Ibrahimovic scored an amazing goal today against France.  Sweden may officially be out of the tournament, but the big man up top undoubtedly left his mark. 

The following is a list of the nations that qualified for this years European Championship followed by the number of players on the squad that actually play in their country’s respective league:

The folks over at Dirty Tackle have figured out why the player we saw Sunday was so different than the Ronaldo who was squandering every chance he had and looking absolutely lost in the first two games. Meet Barry Ronaldo.

Mr. Podolski got Germany on the board early, but Denmark quickly answered with a  from Krohl.

The game is leveled at 1-1 and It looks like nobody wants to go home in Group B.

With Germany basically having secured a spot for the European Championship quarterfinals (There is still a very small chance they don’t make it if they lose to Denmark and Portugal beat the Dutch), Denmark, Portugal and the Netherlands will now do battle in hopes of booking their place in the quarterfinals.

Portugal are currently in second place, but all of that could change in the next 90 minutes. I can’t wait!!!!
