Your New World Champions: The DPRK

No one really takes the Unofficial Football World Championships seriously; it's merely a nice bit of fun. But even with its inherent flaws - the best team ever (as in...ever) is Scotland - no one probably expected the trophy to head to Pyongyang anytime soon. Or ever. But they beat former title holders Japan (Spain -> Argentina -> Japan) today 1-0 in a WCQ and thus....everyone bow down to the DPRK.

And you can be damn sure there will be a parade in the capital in the coming days. You know - to be coupled with the celebration of their actual title in South Africa, of course.

Players misbehave. It happens. But I'm not sure I've ever heard of someone showing up to training visibly sauced.

Welcome to the party, Chile. [read more]

FIFA Announces World Cup 2014 Dates, Venues

In case you were planning on skipping off to the wonderful land of the World Cup in 2014 and were waiting on details to make some travel plans, FIFA's gone ahead and set in motion a few of the details, if we're a long, long way from knowing the names of the participants. Unless you're of the idea that FIFA's corrupt and someone somewhere knows, in which case...start making phone calls.

The opening match is in Sao Paulo, with Brazil one of the teams on show, while the final will be the only place it can - the Maracana. [read more]
