DTOUR: Our Sports Cup Runneth Over

PrintGet your mind out of the gutter, that's not what I meant. There's some good sports action to check out today, but most of it's happening early in the day.
On the other hand, this is a DTOUR, so it might be a good time to talk about the fact that the city of Chandler, Arizona decided to rip up the street outside my apartment complex and even close it for long time periods during the day about one month after I moved in. And now, despite my best efforts to keep it out, my apartment smells like asphalt. So now, walking to work and home again isn't by choice(good thing I carry my papers!), and it's 110 degrees outside(that's 43.3 Celsius to you non-Americans out there). So, that's how the offseason is going for me so far. If anyone else wants to bitch complain about where they live, feel free to do so.
But, the show must go on.
ACB Finals: Game 2 - Caja Laboral vs. Regal Barcelona [Caja Laboral leads 1-0]
11:00am Spurs Time @ Barcelona
Watch it on ACB360
So, Tiago and friends got a huge upset win in Barcelona the other day. Today, they look to put Barca on the ropes by taking a 2-0 lead back to their home arena in Vitoria. By the way, I was wrong about Barca's aggregate record in the previous post - after the game 1 loss, they are 59-6(!) on the season. If Caja wins the league title, that might just be one of the biggest upsets ever in the ACB.
World Cup: Day 2 Schedule (All Games Spurs Time)
South Korea v. Greece - 6:30AM
ARGENTINA v. Nigeria - 9:00AM
England v. United States - 1:30PM
U-S-A! U-S-A! Yeah, we totally care about non-American football when it's the World Cup! I know there's plenty of Argentines around here, too - although I doubt Hipuks will wake up at 7am to watch.
Leave your thoughts on the matches [and anything else that comes to your mind - it's a DTOUR, after all] in the comments section here at WeNeedTiago.com.

Let’s hope the US doesn’t come out and lay an egg. I’ll be interested to see how Nigeria plays against Argentina.

Come on USA, get revenge for the British Petroleum spill!
The Argentina jersey is ready, the alarm set, the tv is um…plugged in? Can’t wait for the game to start.
I did a lot of soul searching. I didn't find anything.
WAIT A MINUTE!! Are we talking about oil spills or soccer…never mind…I thought this was a BASKETBALL site…come to think of it, I’d rather talk about the oil spill than soccer….I mean….SOCCER?? Really guys….soccer??

It’s actually a sports blog. There isn’t anything basketball related to talk about. The Finals you say? FAIL. And it’s not just soccer, it’s the World Cup. Just because Americans are not partial to it doesn’t mean it’s not a sport. It happens to be the most popular sport in the world so why not?

Good for you guys that’s its in the morning.Here its around 2 am.I only watched that opening ceremony and the 1st q of the Mex-South Africa game.Did you saw LeBron singing in that opening ceremony?oooppss that was R.Kelly, my bad.
For Sale:Anyone interested with Spurs SF Richard Jefferson? Then just pick up your phone and dial 781-452-0659.Oh,wait its the rejection hot line.(Just joking,we're stuck with him,let's deal with it that we got no other SF and I guess he is much better than what he is showing us.)

Well 1 quater is over and I liked what I saw from Tigo. he sets screens and pick and rolls very good. He got blocked about 2 times but still kept shotting the ball, you can tell he has confidence in his shot. He has 8 or 10 points now. Then he had a block and 2 or 3 rebounds. Soild game so far.

USA ties the game with what could very well be the goal of the tournament.

The English goalie fumbled big time there.

The British actually invented the term:
The rules of association football were codified in England by the Football Association in 1863, and the name association football was coined to distinguish the game from the other versions of football played at the time. The word soccer is a colloquial abbreviation of association (from assoc.) and first appeared in the 1880s. The word is sometimes credited to Charles Wreford Brown, an Oxford student said to have been fond of shortened forms such as brekkers for breakfast and rugger for rugby football.

Not everyone who played football enjoys watching it.

I was actually playing futbol before I ever touched a basketball. I actually enjoy playing (as long as the field is tiny otherwise my lack of physical stamina gets to me) but watching it is tedious. Too long and not enough events. It says a lot when all ESPN can find to report is one goal, yellow cards and at what time they happened.
The way it works now there is too much luck involved. Case in point Ghana vs. Serbia. The whole game was tied and it got decided by a hand in the area and a penalty. To better determine a winner they should probably play a best out of 11 series.

Absolutely. I think winning the championship might deter him from coming over. I may be wrong, as I often am, though

It could be the other way around. Winning in Europe may make him decide to pursue other challenges elsewhere.

Gooch also played a good game and stopped a lot of the English strikers’ advances.

I'm not saying something is wrong, but something isn't right.
The Germans seem to be good at this football thing.
I did a lot of soul searching. I didn't find anything.

I was expecting more because of what you guys did in the last World Cup. The defenders were trying to play the offside trap way too often though and the Germans made them play.

its interesting…i’m not a real follower of the sport, but in the run up to the world cup, people who are into it were mumbling about verbeek not being good enough for the coaching job etc. then in the last few days as everyone jumped on the bandwagon, most of these new fans were saying “we’ve got a shot”. and then…well……
sorta glad its on at such a bad time here, so i’ll miss most games. much like i missed the canadian GP last night…though i’ll download that.

Sorry, I was brutal. If only you’d made that early goal, and your defenders stayed on people.
I smell death... everywhere.
brutal? nah, its the truth. a few too many australians have an inflated view of the team, and i think it was good to get knocked down a peg or two to wake up and improve the sport in this country.

Winning by 39 won’t be bad either.

That out of bounds play was just the shit. Boston is a straight up WINNA. (Just like the NBA playoff anthem by Jamie Fox and Timberlake " You know you lookin at a winnah !" ) Love that song ! Bought it on itunes.
The Spurs = Not your granddaddies 7th seed !
He has been awful in this series. All the reasons we thought Artest was going to be horrible in LA are finally coming true.

Artest should have fouled Rondo when Allen passed the ball. Kobe should have tried integrating the other Lakers into the offense to get them going, especially after the two bricks he threw.
In Manu, we trust.
by day_late_friend on Jun 14, 2010 8:33 AM CDT up reply actions
Kobe did try to integrate them but they were all building a house that game. This is the one time I could say that Kobe had a justified 38 in a game.

Kobe’s a ball hog….always has been….it’s his ego, it’s HUGE!!!
