Episode 11: Yours Trulies

Posted on by

WebWherein Our Heroes dish out a veritable footballing feast of autumnal profundity. The British press falls for Jurgen Klopp (Haircut of the Week recipient) like newly changed oak leaves in the October breeze, we’re havin’ Don Garber’s vision like decorative gourds on a bountiful table, and Blatter, Valcke and Platini reap what they sow. Also, international injuries runneth over like a Horn ‘o’ plenty and the Canadian Soccer Association schedules a mid-week turkey.

A Part of our Heritage…

Posted on by

Yes, we compared the first 20 minutes of “United Passions” to a Canadian Heritage Minute. But don’t take our word for it, see for yourself! And if you just can’t get enough, visit Historica Canada and let the Canadiana wash over you like so much sweet, sweet maple syrup.

Wherein Our Heroes meditate on Drogba’s toe, the Group of Death, and laud Dominic Oduro’s coif. Also, “United Passions” gets the full Young Gaffers treatment and, in a surprise twist, an Australian businessman takes home the Joey Barton Award for being very un-Kewell.
