EURO 2008 Third-place Goes To . . .

There are many reasons to love the European Champions, but my favorite is the lack of a third-place playoff. As you know we align ourselves with Glengarry Glen Ross on third-place . . . although we aren’t sure the EUROs give a Caddy for first place. (What is the European equivalent to the big-ass, gas-guzzling, ostentatious Cadillac El Dorado? A Mercedes E-class?)

Part Unus: DC vs LA. Men vs Gals.

I’ve got Gertrude making an extra cool batch of Tapioca pudding for this game. ‘Cause it is gonna be hot as Emmanuelle Chriqui out there. Oh, and like all big events at RFK, there will likely a thunderstorm. Why have you forsaken us, Mother Nature? Can’t we just have one nice day?

More DPs than a porn site!
Becks, Landy Cakes, Emilio, Gallardo plus Buddle and Moreno – this game is built for goals. Landy Cakes seems to come alive at RFK. It’s probably the fact that RFK has so many Latino fans, Captain America 2.0 gets confused and thinks it’s a World Cup qualifier in Central America. This year he is especially good, so United better be ready . . . I’m talking to you Zack “The Sieve” Wells.

Part Duo: Euro 2008 Final

We got Spain 2-0. Spain may have lost David Villa but it won’t matter; they are too deep and talented. (Deep and talented is the third bullet on my resume! The first two? “Cheap” and “Easy”) Germany is good enough to get into the final, but the combination of poor play from Jans Lehmann and the central defenders will sink Germany. You watch. Jans will surely get five-holed on a goal. D.C. United and Germany have a lot in common.

Special DC Area Traffic Alert!
The Far Post gang plans to leave RFK like it stole somethin’. So if you see a slightly scratched foreign import roaring up in your review mirror on I-295, get outta the way! We got a game to watch on the hi-def tee-vee! Yeah, yeah. We know about United’s plan to show the game in the “Champions Club” – but that can’t match The Far Post’s Hot Chicks Room:
