I was not expecting a 606 podcast to pop up on my phone last night. Listening right now... :lol:

It's funny to hear the blame go around. The fans and media tend to focus on individual players and events and hardly ever see the bigger picture. England's team as a whole is full of famous people that are thoroughly ordinary players.

Yaya and Kolo Toure's footballer brother dies
Ivory Coast stars Yaya and Kolo Toure have learned of the death of their younger brother while they are at the World Cup in Brazil.

Ibrahim Toure passed away on Thursday in Manchester, aged only 28.

The Ivorian FA said: "The entire Ivorian delegation want to show their support to the players.

"In such a sad situation, the Ivory Coast team and the entire delegation here in Brazil, show their support to the Toure brothers and their family."

It added: "The president of Football Ivory Coast Federation and the Executive Committee ask Ivorians for their prayers."

Ibrahim Toure played as a striker throughout his career, most recently with Lebanese team Al-Safa SC.

Yaya and Kolo were given the news of Ibrahim's death only hours after the team lost their second World Cup match 2-1 to Colombia on Thursday.

The Elephants, who won their first match 2-1 against Japan, will complete their Group C fixtures against Greece on Tuesday.

Brazilian-Canadian cowboy Filipe Masetti Leite's journey to World Cup a dream come true

Filipe-Masetti-Leite.jpg


The World Cup is a stage for dreamers. One incredible month that inspires the world to believe anything is possible. For Filipe Masetti Leite, a native Brazilian who moved to Canada at 10, the World Cup being hosted in his home country offered an opportunity to fulfill his wildest dream.

World Cup pilgrimages are made by people from every corner of the globe, but soccer is just a small part of this story. Leite, 27, grew up listening to his father, Luis, tell the story of Aime Tschiffelly’s trip by horseback from Buenos Aires to New York City. Filipe couldn't think of a more perfect way to discover the Americas and take in everything it has to offer.

Leite, who has a journalism degree from Ryerson University in Toronto, left Calgary in July 2012 with his sights set on arriving in Brazil for the world's biggest sporting event two years later thanks to the support of a few sponsors and a production company, OutWildTV.

Over the next 14,000-plus kilometres, nearly 700 days on the road, 10 countries, six pairs of boots, and 240 horseshoes he and his horses have encountered numerous natural and human challenges.

He came across a grizzly bear while riding through Montana and experienced an earthquake in Bolivia. He battled the elements, riding through snow, wind storms, and extreme heat and humidity. There were nights where water was hard to come by.
