World Cup Update & Desdemona Music Festival

Fatty Fatty Boombalatty scores two goals!"He's fat, he's round, he's worth one more goal than the US scored all cup. Ronaldo! Ronaldo!" OK, so I changed the lyrics. It's usually "...he's worth a million pounds" or "he rolls along the ground". One or the other. Nevermind. Wow. Despite packing on the LB's, Ronaldo nutted up for two big goals against Japan in Brazil's comeback win. He should have had a hat-trick but pushed an open look from 8 yards out wide on an insanely beautiful give-and-go-and-give-back with Ronaldinho. I'd still take a fat Ronaldo any day over no Ronaldo. He also proved me wrong and tied Gerd Mueller for the all-time goals scored in World Cups with 14 total.

Ronaldinho looked great, his passing is pinpoint and his creativity is unparalleled in this tourney. Japan woke the slumbering beast and Brazil looked and played like a favorite yesterday. Granted Japan wasn't very strong defensively and was missing their captain due to yellow cards. No matter, this match was fun to watch.

Germans love David HasslehoffMy homeboy Magnus is Swedish and says the Germans have already started the slur campaign against the Swedes to get everyone in Germany fired up for their upcoming match. He's wary because the Germans have some big time support behind them. His name? Hasslehoff.

Speaking of Hasslehoff, I watched about 10 minutes of that America's Got Talent show that he is a judge on and then was pretty sure I was ready to take a bottle of sleeping pills. Man, horrific. The guy looks shiny and plastic too. It's all very scary. I would be worried too, if I were a Swede.


Off To Desdemona

I always thought it was, he's fat, he's round, he rolls along the ground, but Ronnie barely does that. Guy's been at the pies.

Agree with Ronaldinho though - that pass through to Gilberto for the goal was sooo good.

maybe it is OS. I've heard both I think...either way, i pretty sure it was started by clever England fans. Is that right?

"rolls along the ground" is even funnier though.

We've had a large variety of footie players on the lardy side here, but I believe that one was originally concocted in the mists of time, by the Celts of pre-Roman Britain. About Denmark's Jan Molby.

Wow. David Hasselhoff is really hairy. I don't think I needed to see that.

I'm English and I always thought it was 'he's fat, he's round, his arse is on the ground'.

I now live in Denmark and Jan Molby is a pundit on tv here. When he was at Liverpool, it was always a laugh to hear him speak English with a Scouse accent. Now he's back in Denmark, it's a laugh to hear him speaking Danish with a Scouse accent!

Plus, I can confirm, his surname is 'Mølby', and - as we laughed at it in England - is pronounced like 'Yan Mirl-buu'.

It has to be checked but the best scorer in a world cup is the French guy named Juste Fontaine with 14 goals.

Am I wrong?

My friend went down to Cinci to see the festival and she wanted to buy a three day pass and she was told she couldn't because that was only presale.
