The best of Horacio

Ajumma thinks about football once every four years and that's during the World Cup. The World Cup is as exciting as the Olympics, but without Michael Phelps. Last week I mentioned to my cousin that I hope to attend the World Cup in South Africa in 2010. Brad, who has been living in Africa for the past six years, told me the hotels are almost sold out so I better get my ass in gear. Well, I just learned that my favorite referee, Horacio Elizondo, is now retired. This makes not being at the 2010 games easier to stomach. Here are my favorite Horacio moments from 2006:

"There will be no balls stomping on my field."

"There will be no headbutting on my field."
