World Cup "darlings" love Pearl Jam

Okay, so the 1-1 draw with Slovakia only made them darlings for 24 hours (until Switzerland one-upped them)... but the New Zealand football team spent the bus ride back to the team hotel after the Slovakia game singing songs by a band a few of you may be familiar with.

(from the blog, written by All Whites goalie Glen Moss)
"Rory Fallon and Andy Boyens still got the guitars out and sung us home. Not sure if Eddie Vedder would be happy with our version of his Pearl Jam songs."
And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

    Just in case anyone doesn't get the self-deprecating humor, he meant the team can't sing to save itself, not that they were swapping out lyrics and making fun of the songs...

    Nice story. But it will be a little bit tougher against gli Azzurri.

    I hadn't read that. Awesome!

    I thought Rory Fallon would be more into Creed! ;)
