Hardly seen any of the footie to date, just caught the second half of the Spain-Italy quarter final, and now the last 30 mins of Turkey vs Germany (replay). ESPN, for some strange reason, feels obliged to tell us, to three significant figures, how many kilometers they estimate various players have…
Here I am, with my affiliations to Italy, the land of my origins, in a "German" lab. Many bets are on the line. So can Gli Azzurri make it? Although history may predict that the home team has an advantage, Germany has never defeated Italy in either the Euro Cup or the World Cup. There has always…
ASU have the day off, but Saturday wouldn't be the same without me grousing about a team choking at football, so I present to you the Republic of Ireland soccer team (different "football" I know, but at least this one involves feet). The qualifying rounds for Euro 2008 began last month and Ireland…
Perhaps unsurprisingly DSN's pick for Science Bracket Smackdown, Team Invertebrate demolished 9th seeded Surgeons with a final score of 158-37.

I don't know. Hegel is, IMHO, a liability in back. He's too impressed with his own press releases, probably believes that he simply cannot be beat.
