SIR HARRY PROVES NOTHING BUT TR9UBLE FOR CONGO

  Soccer Stuff: Trust me … there is no sport known to man that generates the  passion that futbol does. Or, for that matter, an off-the-charts  wisdom, of sorts. Everyone – I mean EVERYONE – is an  expert, with opinions that range from absurd to zealous, mostly  in-between.  What makes it different from other games people play is that  they don’t hold back. They don’t know the meaning of   subtle  … at least not when it comes to criticism of  us, them, anyone . All of which couldn’t be more apparent than it has been during  the 2026 FIFA World Cup currently playing to rave reviews in  Canada, Mexico and the USofA. Such as ...  OUR MAN at the World Cup,  ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC Z,  immediately knew why Morocco upset The Netherlands in a  shootout that was so wretched neither side should have moved  on to the next round. In fact, long before the orgy of errant  attempts was over, the former goal-scoring w...

NHL COULD DO MUCH BETTER JOB TELEVISING DRAFT

  Isn’t it about time for the National Hockey League to grow up and stop pandering to its annual draft? I mean, don’t viewers deserve better than what they were forced to endure during Friday’s first round? Like every interview with the chosen few was the same. Talk about predictable. Uh, congratulations. How does it feel to be taken by -----? You have a lot of friends and family here. How important have they been in your hockey journey to this point? They’ve got great fans in -----… Anything you’d like to say to them now? Again … congratulations … and welcome to the National Hockey League. Just like that, one after another, on and on. Ad infinitum. To think they get good money to ask stuff like that. BOOOO!! SORRY, GUYS, but there are few athletes, much less hockey players, who have the depth, charisma and meaningful message that  MATTHEW SCHAEFER , last year’s No. 1 selection, offered with such eloquence (in its simplicity) to your viewing audience as a welcomed if unintenti...

ECUADOR OVERCOMES A LOT TO ADVANCE IN WORLD CUP

  HERE WE GO AGAIN (more short stuff, at least that’s the  plan) … Germany/Ecuador got off to a bewildering start Thursday in the  2026 FIFA World Cup when the favored Germans scored in the  second minute after gaining possession on a clear and  unmistakable violation that was overlooked by American  referee  TORI   PENSO …  and the video replay booth as well. In a match that Ecuador had to win to advance,   PEDRO  VITE was clipped in the face by a glancing kick, resulting in a  goal  that former USMNT great   LANDON DONOVAN , working for  Fox as game analyst, immediately (and matter of factly) said  would be disallowed. “ That boot was quite high. This will be called back,” Donovan  said. Penso, 40, first female to referee a men’s World Cup match,  was surrounded by more bewildered than angry South  Americans. How could she miss that?  Better to ask, which Donovan did, how did the lads i...
