CONCACAF ODDS & SODS

[jenni_blog]

I haven't made a post in awhile, so why not start with this one. Since I'm always on the lookout for some unusual & interesting pics, this photo caught my eye right away.



It's from the friendly match between the USA and Honduras. This bullfrog just manages to escape being stepped on by Carlos Costly as it leaps across the football pitch. On a side note, this was Jurgen Klinsmann's first win as coach of the USA national team.



More of Carlos Costly and the frog:





A couple more pics from the match:









And the Seattle Sounders won the US Open Cup for a 3rd straight year. I predicted it a long time ago, so I'm gonna blow my own horn. And my picspam features a Colombian whose career I've been following for a long time, since he was the top scorer in the Copa Libertadores at age 18: Fredy Montero.

Fredy with the US Open Trophy:





Fredy and the Sounders beat Chicago Fire for the Cup.

Oh wow, that frog!!!! O________O I haven't seen anything like this! I really hope the frog was okay by the time the match was over! :D

I know! The frog sequence of pics was terrifying! But it looks as if it managed to escape being stepped on, when you look at the progression it made as it leaped across the path of the player. (Whom I doubt even noticed it.) O_O

But it made for a great set of pics, I thought! XDDD
