THIS IS EXTRA TIME

because there's more to the game than the game

About

We're putting the focus on the WAGs, lifestyle, players and the all important gossip and dirt surrounding the beautiful game. Because let's face it, there's so much more to soccer (football) than the game. Did we mention the hot footballers? And yes, we do know the offside rule, thank you very much.

Of The Moment

[guest edited this week by Blair @ MRWF]

EPL Hottie: Jay Heaps - The blue eyes and curly hair reminds me of an Owen Hargreaves type of hotness.

EPL Hottie: Xabi Alonso - He’s one of those fallback hotties when you can’t think of anyone out of the blue.

Most Hated: Jose Mourinho -Never all that loved in the Premier League, he’s now raising eyebrows in Serie A. But rather than picking fights with managers in the technical area, he’s chosen a much higher target, Pietro Lo Monaco, the Catania chief executive. Their verbal sparring has resulted in Jose requesting monetary compensation for Lo Monaco’s free advertising: “If this guy wants to earn free publicity by talking about me, he’d better pay me. Adidas features me in their adverts, but they pay me a lot of money to do that. I don’t get paid to help this Lo Monaco get in the papers.” Oh…snap!

Most Loved: Frank Lampard’s Thighs - I’ve missed them for so long that I almost forgot how gorgeous they were. But finally they’re making a comeback. They first appeared in the Manchester City game, and have now been visible in the Bordeaux and Manchester United games. It seems he’s still wearing the compression shorts for training, but that is just a minor detail. Perhaps it was my last “Of the Moment” post that finally forced him to lose the spandex.

Most Annoying WAG: Cheryl Cole - Cease the crying on X-Factor. Running mascara is not a good look. And it doesn’t look good when you contradict yourself either. One minute you’re refusing to talk about your marriage and the next you’re talking about it on national television and in magazines. Make up your mind love. Good job on the runway though.

Barfline: HANDBALL LAMPS! -- It seems that Frank Lampard’s thighs are getting more than just some action on the pitch. But, do they have to make a football reference out of Lampsy getting a little action in his “penalty box” from some ladies at Funky Buddha? I think not. Bad form, from both the Daily Star and Frank.

'Round the Neighbourhood: He just can’t resist. The Scouser in him just can’t allow him to keep his bloody mouth shut. His honesty in his autobiography threw some people off at first, but it only made me want to buy it as soon as possible! And now he’s gone out and blasted the American owners of his club. Probably not the best of career moves, but it is who you are, and that’s why we love you!

HAPPY CANADA DAY!

[Uh, we're... nice?]

Tuesday is Canada Day.

Around these parts, that means we get a long weekend so we won't be around to dish out our usual tripe.

Here are a few links of the Canuck persuasion that you should check out.

We've been thinking a lot about what Canadian soccer is lately. While we don't have an answer for you, CBC's Outfront captured a point of view that's not often heard on the Canadian soccer landscape. Very decent listening.
Canadian ladies won the CONCACAF U-20 Championship on Saturday and have qualified for the U-20 World Cup. Well done.
The grass v turf hoopla. The CSA wants them at BMO; the squad wants to settle at Saputo. If you ask us, the answer's simple: let the boys play where they want to play.

Happy Canada day, everyone. We'll be back on Wednesday.

Happy (early) Canada Day! I can't believe I forgot for a few days; I love Canada and Canadians, and I am planning to wear red and white tomorrow. Then I have to do laundry so I can wear the outfit again on Friday with blue accessories.

Tomorrow is also my parents' 35th wedding anniversary.
