The Girls Of Germany Sing For Holland

I haven’t the slightest clue what’s going on here, but no one’s complaining. The lasses in the German shirts are singing the Dutch national anthem in a suspiciously bouncy van. Obviously this has some link to these rivals in the same Euros group. Outside of that, its effectiveness is up for debate.

It’d be more effective if they all showed up at the Oranje’s hotel on the night of the 12th before these two kick off on the 13th, if only to be photographed. YouTube doesn’t really get done what a front page worth of distractions will do – just ask Cruyff.

Here’s an interesting article from International Football News – World Cup Blog about “Roy Hodgson Names Squad, Already Confused” . Read this article:
Roy Hodgson Names Squad, Already Confused

The Roy Hodgson era has begun for England with a slight stumble, and a delightfully promising one at that. He named his official 23 today, and two of the names garnering the most attention seem to be Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Andy Carroll, two youngsters with lots of potential, but actual contributions to the Euros up for liberal speculation. The former is 18 and uncapped, thus making this a rather big deal for him. But Roy’s pretty comfortable with the selection for reasons which don’t actually exist, which has to be reaffirming for the fans.

This was Roy’s justification of the selection…

The Arsenal midfielder was one of the surprise inclusions to the 23, after starting just six Premier League matches this season.

“He is a very exciting player who has made an impression on me, not least in his performance against AC Milan at the Emirates,” Hodgson said.

“I was there live and saw how well he dealt with Pirlo and Ambrosini. He can play wide or central and for future and can continue as he started.”

Squad sheets on the day:

Nowhere will you find Massimo Ambrosini or Andrea Pirlo. In fact, Pirlo’s checks are now being cut by Juventus, which makes this whole scenario implausible, if not impossible. Perhaps he simply confused him with Zlatan? Long hair all looks the same from a distance. Which might explain the Carroll selection as well.

(The remainder of the squad can be found here.)

Here’s a good post from International Football News – World Cup Blog about “The Japanese Women Turn To “Supergirl”” . See the rest here:
The Japanese Women Turn To “Supergirl”

Guess which one she is.

World class keepers on the male side tend to be fairly tall, and even the bejeweled Iker Casillas is considered undersized at 182cm, or under six feet. The keepers of Europe’s better national teams typically range over 190cm – Neuer, Buffon, Cech, Hart, Stekelenburg, et cetera, et cetera.

Japan’s a different story, and especially on the female side of the game. Wikipedia can give a hint. Which is why finding a 187cm female keeper is like finding the Holy Grail, enough to dub her Supergirl.

One has to wonder if this project was official, maintaining tryouts and the like, or they just asked employees to be on the lookout for really tall gals during lunch hour.

Erina Yamane, who at 187 centimeters (6 feet, two inches) looks down on Japan’s senior men’s goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima, has made the cut for London, local media reported on Tuesday.

“I thought it was a joke,” Yamane, a product of the Japan Football Association’s ‘Supergirl Project’ designed to unearth a future goalkeeper, told the Nikkan Sports newspaper.

“I didn’t think I was ready to play at an Olympics,” added the 21-year-old, whose L-League team, Tepco Mareeze, run by Tokyo Electric Power Co., was shut down after last year’s nuclear crisis, forcing her to move to Chiba Ladies.

“The Olympics wasn’t even on my radar to be honest. I’ll just do whatever I can for the team.”

No pressure.
