   Cameroon sees no reason why Portugal shouldn’t wear those as their regular uniforms.

   Chiellini didn’t hurt Van Persie. Van Persie hurt Van Persie.

   The replays show that Chiellini got all ball. Van Persie looks like he was going to strike the ball, and instead bashed his ankle against Chiellini’s boot/leg.

   I don’t see how you can call that Chiellini hurting Van Persie.

   That would be the case if van Persie hurt his left ankle, buy Chiellini hurt the Dutchman’s right ankle with his trailing foot. Watch it again. (Mute first)

   BTW, the Beach Soccer World Cup = strangest thing ever. (Mainly b/c beach soccer = strangest thing ever.)

   Actually, watching it again, Chiellini gets RvP on the right ankle with both feet. First he rakes it with his lead foot before getting the ball, then cleans up with his trailing foot.

   Ok, first, I don’t see the raking it with his lead foot at all. Yes, his trailing foot caught him.

   Nonetheless, I think his point remains perfectly valid: “I have never gone into a tackle to hurt anyone in my entire life and Van Persie said the same thing. If you look at the footage it’s clear it was not a nasty challenge.”

   So the “I didn’t hurt Van Persie” = “I didn’t intentionally hurt Van Persie” / it was a freak accident/clean tackle.

   “Around 200 football matches in nine countries including at least three Champions League games are implicated in a new match-fixing scandal, German prosecutors said on Friday.”

   We’re keeping an eye in that story. No real news yet, just small stuff leaking out like above.

    But, JT, you only did like 3 stories. And yesterday was quite good for non-southpaw news.
