<p>Either these lads are bored, ran out of Guinness or they might be practicing a new sport that will be introduced to the London 2012 Olympic Games. Hell bent on hitting a 9&#8243; gong that is situated in the middle of the Gap of Dunloe, Kilarney. We must say given the chance we personally would run out of golf balls before ringing the gong.</p>
<p>Boy oh boy, we can hardly wait another two years before the Olympic Games hit. Perhaps this might take the slot of either the Synchronized Aquatics or the Canoe Shalom, yawn. How many guys does it take to race a canoe shalom anyway????</p>

<p>This site is the NUTS. Talk about cool, innovative and fun. They have it all. All what? Let me explain, or as Ricky Riccardo, Lucy&#8217;s hubby would say, let me &#8216;splain.</p>
<p>I went to the Cisco website and created my own video, but instead of using my face I thought it would be more fun to add our President Obama and turn him into someone he&#8217;d love to be, a footballer, or as we say here in the States a soccer player. The video is a hoot. So before I &#8216;splain anymore, here&#8217;s my own video I made using Cisco new program website.  It&#8217;s fun and so easy.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">You can make your own video on whatever subject you want and yes you can use your own pictures. Whether it is your hubby/boyfriend or yourself and then share it with all your friends. It&#8217;s that easy. I literally took me less then a minute to do it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Just click on this link and: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=319852&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.livethebeautifulgame.com">Put yourself in a World Cup video</a> so you to can start having some fun.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">With the World Games going on right now, why not be in them yourself? Of course I am a huge fan of our own American team. But seeing how we get readers from all over the world why not get your face in a video and show off yourself on your own favorite team. Like a said before This Is A BLAST!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We would love to get your videos sent to us so we can show them off to our large audience. Become famous and make it go viral. So don&#8217;t be a chicken, have some fun and show off your video to over 10, 000 readers right now. Just leave us your link of your finished video.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<p>Here&#8217;s a long lost clip of out takes of Jerry trying to do a commercial for TV circa 1970.</p>
<p>In the 70s, <a href="http://jerrycalypso.com/">Jerry Calypso</a> was a kick-ass bowler, having won 14 PBT events. He even bowled a game with Frank Sinatra. But Jerry got connected to some devious folks and, like many budding stars of yesterday, he&#8217;s disappeared.</p>
<address></address>
<address></address>
<address><span style="font-style: normal;">Considered by several sports writers to be one of the greatest bowlers in the history of the sport of bowling.</span></address>
<address></address>
<address></address>
<address><span style="font-style: normal;">He was a young butcher working in his hometown of Greenpoint Brooklyn. His fame as a top bowler grew to the point that, in 1969, he was invited to join the professional bowlers tour. Jerry helped create the Professional Bowlers Tour (PBT), as we know it today and won 14 PBT events as well as two Senior Tour events. He was one of bowling&#8217;s first national stars, when the ABC network broadcast bowling tournaments on Saturday afternoons. He was Regional Bowler of the Year in 1972, and 1974.</span></address>

<p style="text-align: center;">It’s almost laughable to watch USA Soccer try to talk people in to caring</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-7839" href="http://man-over-board.com/2010/06/01/team-usa-putting-best-foot-forward-at-world-cup-2010/200px-2010_fifa_world_cup_logo-svg/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7839" title="200px-2010_FIFA_World_Cup_logo.svg" src="http://man-over-board.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/200px-2010_FIFA_World_Cup_logo.svg_.png" alt="FIFA" width="200" height="230" /></a> about the World Cup in South Africa. Spain (+400) and Brazil (+450) lead the charge in World Cup futures, while England and Argentina are outside shots with +650 and +600 odds to win the FIFA World Cup in 2010. Hell, even Serbia is getting better odds than Team USA’s +7000 odds.</p>
<p>Let’s face facts. Americans only cheer or care for things that they’re good at. The country as a whole prides itself on being the best in the world, and if they’re not great at something then they tend to turn a blind eye. Soccer is that bastard child in the states that the masses haven’t jumped all over because Team USA hasn’t ever advanced past the quarterfinals at the World Cup.</p>
<p>Instead of pumping some much needed money and vigor in to their soccer program, the USA has been too busy building their own sports. Rugby gave birth to American football. Cricket’s the long forgotten great grandfather of America’s favorite past time. Basketball was invented by a Canadian. The USA loves to make things their own, just so they can brag about being the best.</p>
<p>First World Cup Matchup – England vs. USA<br />
Saturday, June 12th &#8212; 2:30pm EST<br />
<a href="http://www.betus.com/?camp=lwb15832hp"> World Cup Betting</a> Lines:<br />
ENG<br />
-1  -140<br />
DRAW<br />
-230<br />
-225<br />
O  2.5  +105<br />
USA<br />
+1  -120</p>
<p>+525<br />
U  2.5  -125</p>
<p>Unfortunately, you can’t reinvent the most popular game in the world. America’s athletes by and large invest themselves in hoops and baseball, leaving soccer to the pansies and nerds. Team USA will boast the best American soccer players on the planet, but that doesn’t mean that we’re showcasing the best American athletes there are.</p>
<p>Rarely does a team for the states endear itself to the fans unless they have marquee guys on the roster. Soccer nuts are very familiar with the thrilling footwork of Jozy Altirodore. The media will probably harp on the relationship of father/coach Bob Bradley and his son/player Michael Bradley.</p>
<p>Still, Landon Donavan has been the face of American soccer for as long as I can remember. Actually, I can’t even remember who Landon’ took the mantle from. He’s a superb athlete and a dynamo on the field, and as a soccer fan I certainly appreciates what he can do. Every casual sports fan has heard of Landon Donovan, and Team USA continues to build their image around his All-American good looks.</p>
<p>No matter how good Team USA is on paper, it’s going to take some massive upsets for this soccer team to get noticed by the mainstream. The chance will be there when the U.S. meets England in their first test in South Africa, and if they pass that gauntlet with any grade higher than an “F-minus” then that will be a win. Just don’t expect the country to be excited about it.</p>
