55. When Chelsea spend money they are evil but when United spend money they are "shrewd"

52. Barcelona will not hire Jose Mourinho
*
For Jose Mourinho beauty is a controversial subject. He just likes winning. And Barcelona like both beauty and winning. And that my friends makes the likes of Barcelona and Arsenal MORE ambitious than most clubs in the world. The standard for winning beautifully is much higher...than at Old Trafford or...wherever Jose Mourinho will be next season.

46. You can grow up in a soccer wasteland but end up playing for England
Like this lucky man:
Calgary's Owen Hargreaves.
Calgary's Owen Hargreaves.
44. Short Shorts
40. The Possibility for Redemption
One minute you can be the biggest cheat ever and the next you can score the greatest goal of all-time:
When he spoke of the "Hand of God", was Maradona also thinking about the power of the second goal?

37. There is no violence
Not on the field:
Not in the stands:
Not in the streets:
...unlike other shite, neanderthal sports like...well...any other sport you can name...
35. You Can't Use Your Hands
Like those other shite sports:
I mean how hard is it to play a game with your hands? But the feet, the feet, that's where true beauty comes from...

31. The Americans will win the World Cup
Get over it. It's inevitable. When the Americans put their minds to something:
...America the beautiful.
30. You can do only one thing really well but that is enough to make you captain of england
Set piece:
Well...alright...you've got a good attitude too. But why on earth did you never learn to dribble?
23. You Can Travel The World
Soccer takes players and fans to stadiums around the world. And along the way they can have travel experiences that others would pay good money for - the food, the wine, the music, the language, the countryside, the beaches. Rome, Paris, Barcelona, Rio, New York - they all have great soccer teams. Whoops, may be not New York. There is something called the MLS in the United States but no one travels there for both soccer and culture. That's what we're talking about here. For the most part, you can travel the world in style just by being in soccer. It really is one of the beautiful things about the game.
22. Michel Platini With His Shirt Untucked
Ahh...those were the days. And he may have had his socks rolled down too! And no shinpads. It really was a beautiful game...then.
And no other game really had this kind of aesthetic. Can you image NFL "football" players without a helmet for instance? No, it is the round ball game with its absence of equipment that always was and always will be...the most beautiful.

21. David Beckham Getting Off An Airplane
The man can do no wrong. He can wear any hair style - even the toussled-getting-off-an-airplane-look - and the world will think him beautiful (Beautiful Beckham) or sexy (Sexy Becksy).
And the man doesn't have to be The Best Player In The World to be The Richest Player In The World.
20. The Barcelona Unicef Shirt
It was beautiful in it's original form. And the club for years refused to generate money by tampering with that original beauty. No ads they said. Never! But then they decided to experiment with their holy garment and came up with something perhaps better:
And all of the extra cash is going to a good cause. FC Barcelona. FC Beautiful.
