    Re: World Soccer XXVIII: Campeones de NorteAmérica.

    Palace is so bad I think I'm in love. It's like if the Mets played in the EPL. Not an EPL version of the Mets, but the actual Mets.

There is a Coyote Ugly in Yekaterinburg. And it also has this:

          Shirokorechenskoe and Ivanovo Cemeteries

          Shirokorechenskoe Cemetery, located on the southwestern outskirts of Yekaterinburg, is often found on lists of the most bizarre graveyards in the world. It is the earliest necropolis, meant to serve as a kind of memorial park, where heroes, persona non grata, and many famous people are buried, including folk artists, scientists, and generals. There is a huge number of unusual funerary sculptures, acclaimed names etched into stone, and the strange conical church of St. Mark of the Caves near the main entrance, which is the apotheosis of the eclectic architectural styles that impart the feeling that somewhere here a portal to another world is about to open. Here you can find reliefs, a 7 -meter high stele, an eternal flame, gems interspersed in headstones, and laser engravings of the deceased to their full height.

          Shirokorechenskoe Cemetery features an alley of crime bosses killed in the wild ‘90s in the war between the “Uralmashevsky” and “Tsentrovy” gangs. At that time, Yekaterinburg was one of the crime capitals of Russia. One can also see young thugs with gold chains, tattoos, cigarettes, and keys to Mercedes engraved on expensive black marble monuments, towering 2-3 meters high. The plates display not only the names but also nicknames and talents of mafia leaders killed in shootings (for example, one reads “an expert in knife-throwing”; another – “possessed deadly fist-fighting skills”). This “mafia alley” is located in the Northern churchyard of Yekaterinburg. Today, they are a kind of open-air museum – a reminder of the turbulent ‘90s.
          And this:

          Instead of a playground, two real battle tanks from the Soviet era stand. Kids frolic around the heavy machinery. More than one generation has grown up playing on and around the tanks. Old-timers say that the tanks were installed in the 80s; but from where and under what circumstances, no one can remember.

          If you look closely, you can see that the tanks are installed on a pedestal and, accordingly, are a monument of military glory. They presumably were intended as a memorial to Word War II. Several years ago, an organization tried to remove the tanks from the residential yard, but the locals fiercely defended them by surrounding them with their own vehicles to block access and by staging rallies that attracted media attention. As a result, they succeeded in defending their local landmark.
          They once also apparently almost burned the city down when they employed napalm inside the city limits trying to fight a local tick infestation.

          This World Cup is going to be awesome!

              IIRC Yekaterinburg (Catherine city) is where the Romanovs were killed.

                                With the World Cup going to Fox we'll be trading Ian Darke and Jon Champion for John Strong. Boo.

                                Ian Darke went from fourth string Sky Sports announcer to ESPN lead all because the US and England got drawn in the same group in 2010 and Martin Tyler wanted the England games.
