Has the Ginger ever looked more Ninja? (HT to GFOP @briandriliunas)
What a team we have here. A true offensive power. They may not be the prettiest side, but the goals are sure to come with a fury. The squad looks more than capable of overwhelming previous incarnations the Ginger XI, Middle Earth XI, and LMFAO XI. Lalas makes another surprise inclusion, his third straight such honor.
Defenders: Alexi Lalas, Steve Bould, John Metgod, Jaap Stam
Midfielders: Yordan Letchkov, Peter Noble, Zinedine Zidane, Bobby Charlton
Forward: Grzegorz Lato, Gervinho
Goalkeeper: Brad Fiedel
Manager: Martin Jol
But it’s the depth astounds here, with stalwarts such as Arjen Robben, Alfredo de Stefano, Attilio Lombardo, Wesley Sneijder, Michael Bradley, Esteban Cambiasso, Stephen Ireland and David Armstrong all coming off the bench when the occasion calls.
Obviously, the great Pierluigi Collina will serve as the team’s official referee.
After our Middle Earth XI and LMFAO XI blazed across the interwebs, GFOP Paul King challenged us to come up with an all-gingie team. His wish is our command. We are proud to present the Ginger XI. It’s a team that made a lie of the chant Tottenham fans used to sing to Gary Doherty: “There’s only one Ginger Pele, one Ginger Pele.” And while they may be beaten for pace, this team will never be matched in the melanocortin-1 receptor gene department.
Defenders: Alexi Lalas, Wes Brown, Gary Doherty, John Arne Riise
Midfielders: Paul Scholes, Steve Sidwell, Alan Ball, Gordon Strachan
Forward: David Fairclough, Louis Saha
Goalkeeper: Adam Bogdan
Manager: Gary Megson
In case you were wondering about this Raffaella that Mario loves, here’s all you really need to know. The Italian model once planned to sell her virginity for one million euros. Unfortunately, there was no investigative followup.

After Wayne Rooney’s double against Liverpool, GFOP Jordan White wonders whether Wazza should get grandfathered into the US national team since it’s clear Butch Cassidy is his great grandfather.
GFOP @kmmccarty throws down the gauntlet with this entry for our inaugural MIB Craft Competition to develop a more realistic looking “hairpiece” for Wayne Rooney.
In this week’s podcast, Michael and Roger fawn over Clint Dempsey’s hat trick, recap the House of Manchester putting London to the sword and speak with 30 Rock star and soccer lover Judah Friedlander.
With Paul Scholes return, we have been on somewhat of a ginger kick at MiB. So we appreciate GFOP Gabriel Knowles’ eagle eyes as he suggests Bolton’s Adam Bogdan deserves a mention in the best ginger players conversation, particularly when he’s sporting the matching orange kit — not to mention a slight resemblance to the Bolton mascot, Lofty the Lion.

The Arab Spring came to Manchester this weekend as an outstanding City humiliated ten-man United. In this week’s podcast, the Men In Blazers review that seismic victory and the rest of the Premier League slate, are then joined by proper broadcaster and comedian John Oliver.
Shield your eyes! Nobody wins when Premier League teams fashion away kits. We discuss these unfortunate designs, the relegation debate, and why the English don’t wear sunglasses in the latest pod. It will be up on Grantland tomorrow (damn you, Baseball!).
In the latest Grantland pod, Roger Bennett and Michael Davies learn that Manchester United are mortal, debate whether Peter Crouch is the Shawn Bradley of the EPL and wonder whether Fernando Torres has sold his soul.
