Both feet on the ground


Of course this is a FOOTBALL blog, but it is the off season, and around the world there is another kind of "futbol" that is crazy popular. In fact, soccer as we call it, and the big global tournament known as the World Cup, is easily the most popular sporting event in the world. In this brand of futbol, when you throw the ball in, both feet must remain on the ground...

I know first hand how PASSIONATE SEC football is, but check out how insane our pals in England are (our first opponent by the way) when it comes to the World Cup:


According to a new poll in England, 12 percent of those who responded said they would give up sex for a year if England won the World Cup. And 51 percent said they'd pass on an evening with Cheryl Cole if it meant England winning the tournament.

I pull mighty hard for the Seminoles and the Gators, but I have to give the award to the English - they must want to win worse than I do! :) 12 percent for an entire year! Wow
