Selecting A Name For World Cup 2014?s Official Armadillo
The potential names for the Official Armadillo of World Cup 2014 have been announced. Unless you speak Portuguese, you’ll be voting on which one is the most fun to say – clearly it’s Amujibi. And so it shall be. Though Brazilians seem rather unhappy with their pu pu platter of potential monikers.

Prince Harry is apparently the British Army?s best FIFA 13 player in Afghanistan
Prince Harry has finished his second tour of duty in Afghanistan, but before going home to play naked billiards and flirt with Pippa Middleton, he gave a few interviews and showed the press around Camp Bastion (video below). He also revealed himself to be the army's most dominant weapon in FIFA 13.
"How can that be at all useful?" you're probably wondering. Allow Harry to enlighten you. From the Daily Mail:
He said: 'You can ask the guys: I thrash them at Fifa the whole time.'
In an interview conducted before he flew home to the UK from his deployment as an Apache helicopter co-pilot gunner (CPG), the 28-year-old revealed how he and his friends in 662 Squadron based in Camp Bastion played computer games and ate pizza when they had time off. [...]
Showing appealing modesty about his obvious skills as a pilot, the Prince said his skills at sports and games helped pave the way for him to become a top pilot.
He said: 'Exams were always a nightmare, but anything like kicking a ball around or playing PlayStation - or flying - I do generally find a little bit easier than walking, sometimes.
'It's a joy for me because I'm one of those people who loves playing PlayStation and Xbox, so with my thumbs I like to think that I'm probably quite useful.'
Actually, he doesn't sound modest about any of those things. Except maybe his walking skills. But as Harry seems to be saying, if you win enough matches in FIFA, you too can be a better (co-)pilot in an army fight a real war than a walker or exam taker.
Anyway, here's Prince Harry publicly outing one of his army friends as a Spurs fan...

The Los Angeles Galaxy goalkeeper let a controversial free kick slip from his hands and into his net in stoppage time, giving the San Jose Earthquakes a 1-0 advantage just 90 seconds before the final whistle of the first leg of the teams' Western Conference semifinal series. To advance and defend their 2011 MLS Cup title, the Galaxy will have to beat San Jose by two goals in the return leg in the Bay Area on Wednesday (8 p.Source: http://espn.go.com/blog/los-angeles/soccer/post/_/id/17747/galaxy-fall-to-earthquakes-in-first-leg
Aquilani to Stay?For Now?and Other Midweek Notes
After twelve straight days of football, a break between the group stages and knockout rounds at Euro 2012 comes as something of a shock to the system?at least if you’re not a fan of the Finnish Veikkausliiga and getting set to watch FC Lahti take on Haka Valkeakoski. I does, however, mean that with attention [...]
