Brendan Hunt's blog comparing the World Cup teams to various American sports teams (for our non-soccer watching American brethren) http://theunlikelyfan.blogspot.com/2010/05/disclaimer-im-new-to-this-site-and-im.html I got a laugh out of it, though I thought some of his descriptions of some of the teams were dead on.
No. They used to be the Vancouver Grizzlies and they sucked. Then they moved to memphis and got a little better. That's pretty much all.
Not a fan. Dude watches too much basketball and football. Would have been a lot better if he'd thrown in some MLB and NHL teams as well, he wouldn't have had to make his analogies so tenuous.
Yeah, and the Germany is whithout a doubt the Oakland Raiders, not the Cowboys. Perhaps it would be fun to start a European Club metapor thread. Chelsea are the Chicago Cubs. Blue, with some red and white and letter "C". Not enough success to warrant the massive international following. Fans, and the place they play and a kind of playful adorable image.
