That's Using Your Head

Blonde Jessica Kastrop was the ultimate professional as a stray kick struck her at more than 100mph during a pre-match warm up.
Footage of her unfortunate header has since become a YouTube sensation.The German's head was sent plunging forward with the massive impact but incredibly she bounced right back.

The ball had been kicked by former Chelsea star Khalid Boulahrouz who dispatched a long-range effort during practice ahead of a Bundesliga pre-season clash in Stuttgart.

It hit her with such force her knees buckled and she had to brace herself against a lectern to stop herself collapsing in a heap.
Jessica said afterwards: "I was fine - eventually. Boulahrouz ran over to me straight away and apologised."

The funniest part of this..? The "THUD" that's clearly audible.

World Cup Prediction

Something similar happened to the mid-90's U.S. Opens (golf, not tennis). I'll let you look it up, but it had to do with Ernie Els & Lee Janzen. It didn't hold true, however.

Update: OK, I had to go look it up. Here it is (or was):

1988 Curtis Strange
1989 Curtis Strange
1990 Hale Irwin
1991 Payne Stewart
1992 Tom Kite
1993 Lee Janzen
1994 Ernie Els
1995 Corey Pavin
1996 Steve Jones
1997 Ernie Els
1998 Lee Janzen
1999 Payne Stewart
2000 Tiger Woods ...wait WTF!

See my money was on an older Tom Kite in 1999. But then Payne Stewart had to go and ruin it. But then he dies in a plane crash, and that totally made it OK. That was a sad day.

Anyway anyone picking 59-year old Hale Irwin in 2000 was much more of an idiot than I was for picking a then 49-year old Tom Kite in 1999. But wait, Curtis Strange was only 45 for the 2000 U.S. Open, wouldn't he be a good pick?

OK it was flawed a few years ago... But then again, most of us knew around this time that this guy named Tiger Woods would change things... a LOT.

Controversy Alleviated

USA - England

How is it that we won our group? Seems to me all the stats are exactly equal. Tiebreaker would be head-to-head vs. England, but we played England to a draw. Goal differential is even the same. Going in, wasn't England ranked higher in the FIFA World Rankings?

Just saying.. and just wondering..

If you have the answer, please let me know!

These things are the cause of all that annoying buzzing you hear when watching a World Cup match. And here I thought they just had a monster sized hornets nest inside the broadcast booth.
