Chiellini thinks Suarez suspension is “excessive”

Giorgio Chiellini shared his thoughts on becoming Luis Suarez’s latest biting victim…

“I don’t have any feelings of joy, revenge or anger towards Suarez for an incident which happened on the field and finished there.

“I’m just angry and disappointed about losing the game. At the moment, my only thoughts are with Luis and his family, because they’re faced with a very difficult period.”

Chiellini also had thoughts about Suarez’s nine match, four month suspension.

“I always considered the disciplinary measures by the governing organisations to be unequivocal, but at the same time I think what they have proposed is excessive. I sincerely hope that he will be permitted at least to be close to his teammates during their games, because forbidding him from doing that would be alienating him.”

Uruguayan media: Suarez biting incident overblown by English media

0 comments by on 6/25/2014

The aftermath of yet another Luis Suarez biting incident has turned downright bizarre – Uruguayan media is saying that the incident is being overblown, and that the English media has an agenda against him. Yes, really. A report by the Uruguayan station Tenfield claims that Suarez’s biting Giorgio Chiellini’s shoulder only became an issue because members […]

Saturday’s England-Italy match in Manaus is one of the most highly anticipated matchups of group play. Yet, just hours before the match begins, the pitch is still not in great condition. In fact, the condition is so bad that groundskeepers were spotted painting it green on Friday. Take a look at some of this pictures […]

This Hooters futbol commercial will give you a headache

0 comments by on 6/12/2014

This Hooters commercial was apparently created to encourage people that no matter if they’re watching football or futbol, they can come to Hooters and watch their game/match and have a good time. The only major issue with this ad is…well…it’s terrible. If you’re trying to get me amped up for the World Cup, don’t include Joey Chestnut, Jon Gruden, and John Daly (?!?!?!) in your commercial. I’m not going to hop on the train of it being disrespectful, however, that doesn’t mean that it’s stupid and ill-conceived.

Who ever thought this was a good idea? They probably could have created a cheaper, more entertaining, less stupid commercial by only using the Hooters girls and keeping their highly-paid celebrity endorsers out of the picture.

Budweiser created a beer cup that turns into a vuvuzela

It remains to be seen whether or not vuvuzelas will be en vogue in Brazil during the World Cup this year, but Budweiser is attempting to make them a thing in the United States. They’ve created this pretty great beer cup that can be turned into a vuvuzela, meaning that after you’re done drinking, you can annoy the hell out of everyone else at the bar!

In all honesty, I’d probably order one Bud Light just to get what they’re calling the “vuvuchela”, then switch to something with actual substance to it while honking away for the rest of the match. You don’t see unique pieces of memorabilia like this every day.
