Highlight: End of the World Cup

Monday, July 10th, 2006

I was in North Beach, San Francisco right after the Azzuri won the World Cup. Fanatics were walking through the streets draped in the green, white, and red flag and singing the national anthem at top of their lungs. The reasons to celebrate were plentiful. This is the 4th World Cup Championship for the Italians, the last win was over 20 years ago in ‘82. In 1994, Italy lost to Brazil when it came to penalty kicks, but yesterday, history did not repeat itself. This was only the 2nd Final ever to have been decided by penalty kicks and the Azzuri won with a score of 5-3.

The French lost, but you can’t deny that they played well and with honor. Zidane, arguably the best player of the past 20 years, was sent off in overtime for an intentional headbutt to the chest of an Italian defender. You can choose to focus on one of the following: that Zidane ended his outstanding career with a red card or that Zidane started his retirement with the Golden Ball.

World Cup Finals - What’s Your Vote?

Friday, July 7th, 2006

If it were up to me, the World Cup would be a yearly event, but sadly, the excitement, drama, and athleticism is coming to a close. It started with 32 teams and now only 2 remain. Who will it be? Will Zidane be able to once again summon the magic that led to French victory in Paris 8 years ago? Or will the Azzuri bring home their fourth World Championship and reclaim their status as a world power on the pitch?

Sunday, July 2nd, 2006

Prepare yourself. David “The Hoff” Hasselhoff has traded in his Baywatch swimming trunks for a leather jacket to star in his very own music video. The Hoff is back with gusto to sing the 1975 classic “Jump In My Car”. Rate it, label it, and comment on it on Google Video, courtesy of Sony BMG Australia.

“That’s right, it’s Hofficial… your favourite cult icon wants to take you home! The one and only David Hasselhoff of “Bay Watch” and “Night Rider” fame returns with a cover of the 1975 classic ‘Jump In My Car’ and its a doozy. Recorded in Sydney last year with the legendary Harry Vanda (AC/DC, The Angels), the Ted Mulry Gang tune has been re-vamped with full Hoff gusto and this music video promises to rock the socks off all his Hofficial fans. Watch it, enjoy it, share it on Google Video, courtesy of Sony BMG Australia.” (Description provided by content owner)
