Oranje via Slowakije naar kwartfinales

Maar da's 'n zorg voor morgen. Vooralsnog staan we in de kwartfinales, met (
[UPDATE] Goals (plus analyse Gullit & McManaman) (mirror) na > >>>





• WELL, I DIDN'T SEE THE GAME myself, but from what I understand it was pretty exciting, Landon Donovan kicking Team USA into the next round in extra time... Goal video after >
• THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT WRONG WITH Helen Mirren (65). Mighty fine lady, mighty fine actress. But was posing nude (NSFW) for New York Magazine really necessary?
• OF COURSE WE DIDN'T EXPECT anything else, the Germans qualifying for the final 16, but it wasn't the piece of cake they thought it was going to be after after the Aussie game. Maybe this song inspired them >
• SO YOU LIKE MOVIES? AND YOU like brilliant directors? Of course you do. Then you better check out this nice little Stanley Kubrick vs Martin Scorses mashup, after >
• SOME PEOPLE REALLY HAVE ABSOLUTELY waaay to much time on their hands. Like the maker of this movie - a remake of England's opener vs the USA: Goalie Robert Green actually DID get the ball...
• GRANTED, THEY WERE MAINLY BEATING up on weak NL teams (Cubs, Pitates, National), but after 9-1 in their last 10, the White Sox managed to get themselves back at .500.
• "HE SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED TO BE rolling around," said ABC's announcer moments after the Ivory Coast's Keita faked a blow to the face, forcing an unjust red card for Brazil's Kaka.
• GRAEME MCDOWELL OF NORTHERN Ireland shot a 3-over 74 to win the 110th U.S. Open championship on Sunday at Pebble Beach, beating Gregory Havret of France by one shot.
• WAYNE ROONEY GOT A LOT OF flack for his fan rant as he walked of the pitch earlier this week (video after the jump), but according to the NofW England has way more problems >
• TOY STORY 3 KICKED ASS IN it's opening weekend at the box office: it raked in $124M. Jonah Hex, on the other hand, disappointed. It'll finish only 6th, with $5.5M.
• I GUESS I FOUND THE COMMON DENOMINATOR of this post. It's just a shitload (30) of hot babes on Twitter in the Spanish speaking part of our world. Happy following!
• LEONARDO DICAPRIO, ONE OF HOLLYWOOD'S most talented A-list actors, is set to star in a biopic of the FBI's first director (and notorious communist hunter) J. Edgar Hoover, to be directed by the legendary Clint Eastwood.
• HMM, THIS IS KINDA WEIRD. BUT each and every sitcome, wether it's Married With Children, Desperate Houswives or That 70s Show, they all use the same damn newspaper >
• WHY THE HELL NOT? 24 YEAR OLD ANRI Suzuki from Japan offers sex to her Chinese students, as compensation for the war crimes her countrymen committed during 1937-45.
• NOT A CLUE IN THE WORLD WHO this Lara Stone character might be, but hey, who really cares? Bitch took of 'r clothes (NSFW) for a shoot for Industrie magazine.
• THE WAIT WILL BE LONG (NOT EARLIER than December 10 of this year in theaters), but not only half as long as the movie title itself: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn. HD trailer after >
• ASK MARK VAN BOMMEL HOW HE sees his career as a pro footballer and he'll say: "I want to be like a vulture. I want to grab as much prizes as possible". Interview with Oranje's captain here.
• EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOCCER, and you're not gay, the World Cup might still be worth while. I mean: just take a look at the various hot chicks that pop up everywhere.
• AWW, DON'T WE ALL FEEL FOR them Yanks? 2-0 behind against Slovenia at half time, then rallying to tie the game, only to get robbed by the game winner by the Mali ref. Highlites >
• WOW. NOT EVEN A WEEK AGO - AFTER they beat Australia 4-0 - the Germans shouted: This is our World Cup. But after Today's loss agaist Serbia (1-0), they cry: This is shit!
• YANKEE FAN ANTHONY ZACHARIADIS bought a couple of Vuvuzela's online for $6 a piece, and decided to blow 'm in the Bronx. But Yankee-security didn't think so.


• IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW: NOT EVERY EDITION of Maxim has the same policy when it comes to nudity. I mean. The American and Western European edition hardly ever show any nudity. They tease, but they don't show.
• DIE NEDERLANDERS TOCH OOK MET HUN 'JE SPEELT zo scherp als je traint'... De afgelopen drie dagen sloeg de schrik me drie keer om 't hart. Eerst was er het schrikmomentje rond Robin van Persie, vervolgens was 't Wesley Sneijder die last had van z'n kuit, en nu is Rafael van der Vaart ineens 'n twijfelgeval voor 't duel met Slowakije...

• EVEN THOUGH SHE SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE ON the Little Miss Prissy e.g. Goodie Two Shoes side, I've always had a soft spot for Jennifer Love Hewitt. But I guess I was not the only one: she's the world's only woman who made all 13 of FHM's 100 Sexiest polls. Quite an accomplishment, I'd say.
PITCHER CARLOS Zambrano in definitely, after he threw a temper tantrum in the dugout after the first inning of the Crosstown Classic. Your Chicago White Sox won the game (6-0), extending their winning streak to 10.
• WHAT WAS THAT YOU WERE SAYING? THE WORLD already started two weeks ago? Come on, now! You can't be serious. We all know that the group phase is a grind. Created to keep the smaller countries happy. See it as a warming up. Friendlies with a purpose.
