Ghettooh: DaMarcus Beasley Victim Of Car Bombing

US Soccer star DaMarcus Beasley, who currently makes his cheese overseas as a member of Rangers F.C. in Glasgow, Scotland got a shady surprise Monday, when his BMW was firebombed outside of his flat. It is still unclear what motivated the attack, some have argued that it was some salty fans taking the Rangers-Celtic rivalry a little too far, while others believe that this was a personal attack on Beasley, who definitely sticks out like my meat, as a black man in Scotland (almost rhymed)

What is clear is that on Monday night a dude in a hooded sweatshirt placed some type of bomb underneath Beasley’s car, poured gasoline around it and proceeded to light a fire, setting the car ablaze. The suspect then hopped into an Audi A3 with phony plates and bounced from the scene as Beasley’s car erupted in flames. Beasley came outside to find his whip burning like the Hot Boys circa 1999.

Even though Beasley was a little shaken by the attack, he is more confused than anything as to why he was targeted. “I don’t know how to take it, really. It’s pretty crazy. If it is a Celtic-Rangers thing then it’s obviously not good. It has shocked me - you don’t expect to be targeted like this. But I’m not going to be too upset by it.” Via Daily Record

Soccer Fight: Hooligans Squabble With Police

This video comes from the UK and features a bunch of West Ham United fans getting it crunk with police at their game against Millwall last August. We may be a little tardy to the party with this video, but these fans have heart and don’t mind taking a billy club to the grill for the love of their team. That or they were all just a little loose of that goose and this is just another example of when beer muscles take control.

Spotted: TomKat & Cameron Diaz Rolling With Soccer

TomKat, along with former dime Cameron Diaz, took some time out of their busy schedule to do a little public caking at the Rangers-Sevilla Champions league game. Cruise is currently in Spain filming a movie called “Knight & Day” while his boo is doing her best impression of Doug Christie’s wife, staying all up in his grill like saliva. The Cruise’s were distinguished as guests of honor at the match, while Diaz, who is co-starring in the film, was just bored and decided to see what was cracking at the game.

Probably drinking O’Douls.

Real Salt Lake Wins 2009 MLS Cup

You know we aren’t really rolling with US Soccer, and prefer Champions League or Liga, naturally. But we did check out the 2009 MLS Cup to witness one of the most exciting games in League history. Real Salt Lake showed they have heart in this one, bouncing back for a 1-0 deficit and eventually winning 5-4 in PK’s after Landon Donovan tricked the game off. Real Salt Lake won their first MLS cup, in only their 5th season in the League. They also became the first team to win the Cup with a losing record.

The player of the game was easily Real Salt Lake forward Robbie Findley, who scored the game-tying goal in the 64th minute, sparking the comeback victory. Findley, a Phoenix native, comes from an athletic bloodline, including his cousins Atlanta Hawks guard Mike Bibby and Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Shaun McDonald. Findley wears #10, just like Bibby, in honor of Team Dime, a group compromised of various family and close friends. Findley’s goal was even more sweeter considering the fact that he was drafted by the Galaxy in 2007 and traded to Real Salt Lake after a few months with the team. Payback is a beezy.

Ghettooooh: Women’s Soccer Is Violent

When we said women’s soccer was grimey, we meant it. In the wake of the Elizabeth Lambert hair-pulling incident, this video of a high school brawl in the Rhode Island State Championship has been getting passed around like a well rolled joint. This fight might be more about saltiness than competitive spirit going a little too far.

Woonsocket (White and Maroon) was serving Tolman (Red) with a cherry on top, leading 5-0 when the fight broke out. Their head coach, who was interviewed following the melee, was quick to point this fact out and casually attempted to place all the blame on Tolman for starting the ruckus, insinuating that her team is full of great sportswomen who are not capable of getting too active.

If we were taking an ass-whoppin’ like that in front of friends and family, we might be inclined to react in the same fashion. It just goes to show that women hate to get beaten badly….unless of course you are talking about their cakes.

Women’s College Soccer Is Grimey

Check out this Women’s soccer game in the Mountain West Tourney between BYU and New Mexico. Both sides were going at each other all match, but Lobo’s defenseman defensewoman #15 Elizabeth Lambert, made some questionable plays all day reminiscent of suspended Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes. At various points in the game Lambert was seen throwing elbows, rabbit punches and even goes as far as yanking a BYU player down by her pony tail when nobody, except the eye that never lies, was looking.

The Lobos lost the match 1-0 and after reviewing the video evidence, which probably just meant watching Sportscenter bash the dirty play, decided to suspend Lambert indefinitely. In reaction to being caught up Lambert released a statement saying:

“I let my emotions get the best of me in a heated situation. I take full responsibility for my actions and accept any punishment felt necessary. This is in no way indicative of my character or the soccer player that I am. I am sorry to my coaches and teammates for any and all damages I have brought upon them. I am especially sorry to BYU and the BYU women’s soccer players that were personally affected by my actions. I have the utmost respect for the BYU women’s soccer program and its players.”

The statement is obviously a bunch of B.S., because it’s safe to assume that Lambert has played with this style of aggression for most of her career, but since nobody really watches Women’s college soccer to begin with, it probably went unnoticed except for the girls who were victim’s of the foul play. But a wise man once said that, “if you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying,” so we give Lambert kudos for trying harder than Avis to get her team the win.

USA Stuns Costa Rica With 2-2 Draw In Final Qualifier

The entire USA soccer team played their final CONCACAF qualifier against Costa Rica with a heavy heart, just days after forward Charlie Davies was involved in a car accident that effectively ended has 2010 World Cup hopes. With a large home crowd in attendance at RFK stadium and the squad already clinching a berth in South Africa, the US squad looked to play the role of spoiler against a Costa Rica team that needed a win to ensure a berth. Trailing 2-1 in stoppage time, Jonathan Bornstein connected on a header that sent the entire stadium (minus Costa Rica and their fans) into a frenzy.

You can bet that they pulled off this one for Charlie and even though it wasn’t technically a win, in the eyes of the nation, it was a job well done.
