How 'Bout Them Balls?

Filed under: Music Minute > Zportz

Coldplay has agreed to team up with ESPN to help promote their broadcast of the upcoming European Championship soccer tournament.

The supergroup's tunes from their new release, Viva La Vida, will be featured in the tourney's promo spots.

Soccer matches start on June 7th.

This dovetails nicely with Viva La Vida's drop date, June 12th.

We're looking forward to seeing lots of pix of the hotness that is Cristiano Ronaldo, who'll be playing for Portugal.

It's really too bad that England didn't make it into the tourney — no David Beckham!!!

      Bloody McClaren. The only thing he ever did right was getting rid of Beckham, then the idiot brought him back. Now we're not going.

      Cristiano Ronaldo is an over-rated diving, cheating little ponce.

      David Beckham plays for LA but he is English which means he can be called to play for England when they have games. It is completely different.

      Hey Perez……how about another political update on how Hillary's doing this week, since her devastating loss in NC and barely-there win in IN?

      What? No update? Since she's on the downslide again?

      How odd…

      Re: Sarah – You really don't understand football do ya? Poor lil thing. Just because he plays for LA, he is English, so he can play for the English national team. Just like even though Bad Friedel plays for Blackburn in England, he still plays for the USA.

      CRISSY PISSY RONALDO is an over-hyped, pretty-boy, FUCK who is ruining soccer/football.

      WTF? You make it sound like it was just some random spanish team. He played for REAL MADRID, the most prestigious, richest, successful and popular football club in the world. It's so goddamn big it's almost sentient.

      Perez, I'm a tad disappointed in you, you know. Surely this little darling has, at some point in his career, ripped his shirt off and run around the field like a maniac. And THAT's the shot we want, thank you! Always remember, if you're just running a random picture of a smokin' hot dude, pick a shot with as few clothes as possibile! Thank you for attention to your faithful readers.

    67. what happened to my other message? says – reply to this


      67

      I dont like Cristiano - wanna see a hottie? Check out Luca Toni
      MAMMA MIA!

      Anyway to clearify some things. Yes, David plays for the LA Galaxy. But there are also championships which are played: country against country - that's when David plays for the England's NATIONAL team. Understand?

      Another interesting fact, Americans call this sport SOCCER and the English call it FOOTBALL . History tells us that in England, 1863. The English started the Football Association. Teams which were in this asSOCiaton were abbreviated by SOCcers.

      So the sport which is called SOCCER in America was given its name by the English. :-) But they (the English) chose to call it football later again.

      Re: Grapehead – As you point out, Soccers were the teams that were in the association. It was not used to describe the sport. Big difference. As the nation that invented the sport, I think the English should know how it should be named. It was played hundreds of years before that other English rugby based sport, American football. It may also interest you to know that the origins of baseball are English. In fact the most popular field sports in the world today originated from a little country called England.

      are you people fucking stupid?
      ENGLAND IS A NATIONAL TEAM, LA GALAXY IS A CLUB TEAM. Ronaldo plays for Man United, yet he'll represent portugal cos its his NATIONAL team. So if England had got through Becks could play for them!
