Another big day of games on tap, including France v. Honduras.  Hugo Lloris, the goalkeeper for Les Bleus, will be key to a victory for France.

Big day of football today, with four matches.  All eyes will be on the England v. Italy game this afternoon, but don’t overlook today’s hottie playing for Uruguay against Costa Rica.

Meet Alvaro “Tata” Gonzalez, jack-of-all-trades midfielder who plays professionally with Lazio in Italy.

Meet Joel Veltman, a defender for the Netherlands.

Spain v. Holland at noon Pacific is the game of the day.

Start blowing those vuvuzelas, girls and gheyz! Hotties of the World Cup is back.  You’re welcome.

Neymar is getting all the attention from Team Brazil, but I’d like to introduce you to Willian. What a beautiful smile.

Those of you who are obsessive Simpsons viewers will get the headline.

Wrap-around ad, you wankers, get your minds out of the gutter!

And yes, Christopher Guest could – and should – totally extend this hilarious clip into a full-length movie, preferably with his Best in Show/Spinal Tap colleagues and Will Farrell involved.

Apparently the mouth-breathers of the inter-tubez didn’t understand that you don’t have to be a yodeling blond chick to screech out the Star Spangled Banner, because these lug-nutz on teh internetz got heated up because a 10-year-old kid from San Antonio — whose dad is active duty in the Navy — had the temerity to sing the national anthem before the Spurs beat (CRUSHED) the Heat in game 3 of the NBA Finals.
