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!

LIVE-BLOG: FRANCE V HOLLAND

[Mustn't forget Patrice.]

As we've mentioned a few times in the past, TIET is standing in firm support of the Frenchies this summer.

Our decidedly shallow reasons being:

Thierry's peachy bottom
Coupet's gorgeous hair
Patrick Vieira's odd obsession with Arsenal (several seasons on and he still can't stop jabbering about the Gunners)
Malouda's cheekbones
Benzema's emerging man-child good looks

Reason's not to support the French (you know, if you think logically):

They've not scored a goal yet in the tournament. (Which is fine because obviously Thierry Henry will release a slew of killer hits today)
Domenech is more than a little bit off his rocker. (But if you ever needed some psychic advice, you know who to call)
They're French. If you're a normal person, you hate the French. (They've given us Gaspard Ulliel and chocolate croissants. Leave them alone.)

Co-hosting the live-blog today is friend of the blog and blog-sister, Jak (TFO) from the truly marvelous, Fresh Legs. Jak, bless her heart, has chosen to support the Netherlands this time around.

What an utterly foolish move.

Has she no clue that France will go on to win the tournament with their beauty and non-charm? Has she no clue that Benzema is 'the one to watch'?

Suppose she does have a point though: Robin van Persie's bottom is rather peachy in it's own right, Wesley Sneijder's got a gorgeous smile and Ibrahim Afellay's emerging man-child good looks are rather intriguing.

And yes, we are completely ignoring the fact that the Dutchies went and embarrassed the world champs last week. Occasionally, we too enjoy indulging in a bit of irrational positivity and optimism.

The live-blogging shall begin at: 11:30AM PST/2:30PM EST/7:30PM GMT

Join us, will you?
