HELLO EVERYBODY!
LONG TIME, NO VISIT!

Wow it´s been a long time since I´ve been in here ... feels like we need a revival ready for the WORLD CUP and what better way to do it than with a bit of community cooperation and participation, because a World Cup is nothing without ...

And anyone who has ever done a Panini sticker album before knows, you need lots of stickers but that also means that you end up with lots of duplicates ... which is where this post is going to come in!

Leave a comment with a list of either the stickers you have to swap, or the stickers you need and other members can reply with the stickers they need/have ... then you can take it to the DMs (or twitter, as most of us are there too!) to trade contact info to get your stickers on their way worldwide XD

HAPPY STICKERING!

German National Team Not Aryan Enough For Butthurt Fabio Capello

(You know - that Italian manager who represents England).

Capello calls on Platini to act after swipe at Germans for ‘stealing talent’
By Matt Barlow (dailymail.co.uk)

"Odd ones out?" Let's play "spot the non-Aryan".

Fabio Capello has taken a swipe at Germany for adopting players of Turkish origin and called upon football’s rulers to end the drain of talent from poorer countries.

Capello is still haunted by England’s 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Germans in last summer’s World Cup and raised the issue of citizenship when he addressed the Dubai International Sport conference.

‘A line needs to be drawn,’ said the Italian. ‘Richer clubs are talent-scouting and stealing players by bidding higher and not thinking about the consequences for those countries.

‘These players are acquiring new passports. Germany had five of Turkish origin who opted to represent them and we all know what happened.’

Germany’s squad for the 2010 World Cup final in South Africa contained 11 players who could have qualified for other countries. Capello claims Turkey would have been far stronger with the ‘five’ who opted to represent Germany but his facts are muddled. Two players of Turkish descent were in Joachim Low’s squad — Mesut Ozil and Serdar Tasci — and both were born in Germany.

Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski, who both scored against England in Bloemfontein, were born in Poland. Podolski moved to Germany aged two and Klose aged seven.

Sepp Blatter will make way for a successor as FIFA president in four years' time if he is re-elected in June, he has announced.

Blatter is seeking a fourth term as FIFA president and is being challenged by Asian confederation chief Mohamed Bin Hammam.

The 75-year-old told UEFA's Congress in Paris on Tuesday that if he wins he will definitely stand down in 2015, saying: "You know very well that I am a candidate for the next four years as FIFA president but these will be the last four years for which I stand as a candidate."
He added: "Together we have the task of bringing together the adventure we have started.
"We want to ensure a better future for our youth."

The new president will be elected at a Fifa Congress which starts on 31 May.

With Bin Hammam vowing to increase Fifa's decision-making power and spread its considerable wealth, Blatter is facing his first challenge since Issa Hayatou took him on - and lost - in 2002.

Bin Hammam is also currently attending the Congress for European football's governing body, Uefa, as they lobby federation presidents for their vote on 1 June in Zurich.
Uefa members make up more than one quarter of the maximum 208 Fifa voters that Blatter and Bin Hammam will attempt to woo.
The winner needs a two-thirds majority of valid votes cast in the first ballot, or a majority in the second.

Fifa has set an 1 April deadline for other candidates to be nominated by a single member federation.
"We are in extra time," said Blatter, referring to the time left before the election. "Let's wait and see what the outcome will be."

Are you there God? It’s me, Xabi.

It’s been 214 days, 5,136 hours, 308,160 minutes or 18,489,600 seconds since I left England and in all honesty diary, I can’t take it. I am trying so hard to make this work but there is nothing but a deep chasm in my heart that is forever Liverpool. I am reading up on Eternal Return and the idea makes my heart heavy with sadness. The cyclic revolution of the universe, with its limited state coinciding with the steady marching on of time means that I will have to endure this depression over and over and over again.

As Nietzsche states, “Now, however long a time may pass, according to the eternal laws governing the combinations of this eternal play of repetition, all configurations which have previously existed on this earth must yet meet, attract, repulse, kiss, and corrupt each other again...”

I cannot cope with this.

It may look, to the passive, unassuming viewer on my life that I am happy. You may look at pictures of me hugging and cherishing my current teammates and appearing happy and at one with my family on the streets of Madrid. But only you dear diary, know my inner torment. It simply cannot be endured. But yet it must be. Facades must be maintained, and true feelings must be repressed, and instead I must content myself with looking at pictures of my beloved and our team on Daylife and GettyImages and wishing, praying, hoping that I was still there.

Sigh.

(If only he'd been this whatevs at immigration, he'd be a free man today.)

Former World Cup referee Byron Moreno has been arrested in New York and charged with smuggling heroin.

The Ecuadorean, best known for his officiating of Italy's controversial defeat to South Korea at the 2002 World Cup, was apprehended at John F. Kennedy Airport.

Federal prosecutors said he was found with bags of heroin strapped to his body after he arrived on a commercial flight from Ecuador.

The 43-year-old "became visibly nervous" during a routine inspection, a federal court in Brooklyn heard.

A customs agent felt "hard objects on the defendant's stomach, back and both of his legs," the complaint said.

A strip search revealed that the lumps were 10 clear plastic bags containing more than 10 pounds of heroin, it said.

Moreno was jailed without bail, and there was no response from his lawyer on Tuesday.

He attracted widespread criticism for his refereeing of the South Korea versus Italy game, in which he sent off Francesco Totti and disallowed a valid Italian goal, with Korea eventually winning 2-1 in extra time.

The arrest has been a great boon to the Italian media, who are going to town with new quotes from Azzurri veterans who played in that match.

UEFA have confirmed that vuvuzelas will not be allowed at any games under its direct jurisdiction this season.

The instrument, such a noisy and prominent part of the fabric of this summer's World Cup in South Africa, is viewed as an annoyance by many involved in European football and as such will be heard at neither Champions League nor Europa League stadia this season.

The ban also applies to qualifiers for Euro 2012, with UEFA informing its 53 member associations that the ban will be enforced for "reasons related to Europe's football culture and tradition", with administrators keen to hear songs and chants rather than mindless noise at grounds.

BERLIN – German police say an American got so fed up with the constant mosquito-like droning from his neighbors' vuvuzela plastic horns that he threatened to kill them with an ax.

Police in the Bavarian city of Weiden said Friday the 45-year-old man confronted his neighbors during Thursday's Netherlands-Cameroon World Cup game wielding the ax.

They said he was so sick of the constant buzzing and honking from the vuvuzelas since the tournament began that he screamed: "I will kill you," and then returned home.

German authorities took the U.S. Army civilian employee into custody and turned him over to U.S. military police. The military says he has been released and the matter is in German hands.

Prosecutors are investigating whether to charge the man, whose name was not released, with making a threat and slander for allegedly calling his neighbors names.

The cheap, meter (yard)-long vuvuzela trumpets have become a side story of the World Cup in South Africa, where their buzzing has been the backdrop to every match.

Players have been criticizing the noise because they find it difficult to take advice from the bench, and visiting fans have no chance for community singing amid the noise.

A French cable TV channel even offers vuvuzela-free broadcasts for all World Cup matches, with the trumpets digitally tuned out.

Defenders include FIFA President Sepp Blatter, Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu — and masses of South African football fans.

The trumpets were first produced and marketed in 2001 by South African Neil Van Schalkwyk, who still owns the rights to the vuvuzela name. His latest innovation is to sell each with a pair of earplugs included.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzz! Vuvuzelas have become a phenomenon in the past couple of weeks thanks to the South Africa 2010 FIFA World Cup. Google, who has gotten the World Cup fever, seems to love vuvuzelas as much as football/soccer fans. The search giant recently added a vuvuzela button to several YouTube videos — even many not related to the World Cup or football at all.

Now, we’ve learned that Mountain View-based Google has added a tiny red vuvuzela to the little peg man on Street View. The easter egg, as many are calling it, is apparently only available when navigating through World Cup host country South Africa. Luckily for many, and unlike YouTube, the Street View vuvuzela does not play any sounds. It’s best viewed when peg man is picked up or sideways.

We have embedded the map of South Africa in the full post, so that you can play around with Google Street View and see the little peg man with his red vuvuzela. Bzzzzzzzzzzzz!

[Poll #1582409]

LMAO i found this here and i loved it so here it is !

"It's not time for bilans yet, it's time for feelings and emotion right now"

The French NT refused to make a bilan of the 6 years he spent in charge of Les Bleus. "I'm sad" he said, before wishing luck to all people who will take his succession.
"It's not time for bilans. I'll do it with staff, players, chairmen...It's never good to explain 6 years in charge of a team right after a game."

"I'm telling you again, it's a real pain, a disillusion for the supporters, and for French football."
M. Domenech, who has refused to explain why he didn't want to shake SA Coach's hand, wishes luck to his successor, Laurent Blanc. "I'm the first French NT fan. I wish him all the best. I loved this French NT. It'll never dies, it's gonna live forever. This team has a real potential" he asserted.
We wish we could have seen this in South Africa.
