37 Days, 17 Hours, and Some-Odd Minutes.


Some days you just want a break.

You don't want to think about goal difference or table placement or whether Ashley Young will be bought by Manchester City--or perhaps you do think about those things, but you get so rant-y thinking about people who don't think that Ash is a valuable asset that you can't form a coherent argument and your sentences get all strung out and


Star-divide

Ahhhh. Breathe deep. The World Cup is coming.

This video might be cheesy and the song may find itself lodged in your brain at inopportune times, but it can't help but make you excited for the summer. One month of solid football, complete with pub discussions, heated arguments, crazy clothing and a perfect excuse to not pay attention to work.

As the cup approaches, we'll be writing a bit about it, especially as it looks like we'll almost certainly have one Villan on the squad. I hope to be able to strike a balance between "An Idiot's Guide to the 2010 World's Cup" and "World Cup For Those Who Think They Remember 1966." But for tonight, I just wanted to give you a fun little video.

And ask the question: how much of this video can you place? Do you know specific players, specific matches, specific defining shots?

I'm going to lose street cred

But I’ve now watched this video like 20 times, and just about every time there’s a little welling of a mysterious liquid in my eyes. And then my wife laughs at me. So, yeah, definitely cheesy. And I’m definitely a sucker.

Oh, I agree

I’m more or less trying not to cry at work right now.

Matisyahu

This song is eerily similar to Matisyahu’s “One Day”…and they are both in NBA 2k10…and they both make me insanely happy.

Song sounds different.

I like this song, but not this version. I’m sure I’ve heard it somewhere else and it souded better. Mostly I like the corus though, and at least that’s the same.

There's a bunch of versions...

The original is not so footy centric. There’s also one with Spanish lyrics.

If you didn't like the song before

This interview with K’Naan may make that sentiment impossible.

We discuss English football from an American perspective. Sometimes we call it soccer. Sometimes we call it football. Whichever you call it, we welcome discussions,we appreciate arguments, and we value insight. Above all, though, we're Villa til we die.
