There's some soccer-related news about Man City midfielder Stephen Ireland possibly returning to the pitch for the national team of his eponymous home country. Why hasn't Ireland played for Ireland of late? Dead grandmothers and new rides, yo.
Ireland, who recently took delivery of a £90,000 Range Rover customised with pink wheels, grille, seats and accessories, has not played for his country since inventing the death of two grandmothers to engineer his way home from an international double-header last season.
Using my amazing Google-Fu skills, I learned that that Range Rover cost Ireland $178,911. (Probably an even $179K by the time I finish writing this post. Thanks a lot, economy.) And worth every farthing. I just hope for his sake that the UK doesn't have the "gay tax" that makes home furnishings and Broadway shows so expensive in America.

It's value is up to $180,000 when you add in the back area which is filled with Jameson and sacks of potatoes.
Clearly Stephen shops at the same Land Rover store in Paramus that Vince Carter does.
I've written about Stephen Ireland before. He celebrated a goal a few months ago by dropping his shorts and revealing Superman briefs to the Manchester City crowd.
The boy's not right, I tell ya.
Dude…I bet this douche drinks wine coolers, and smokes Capri cigs….
'Hello Kitty Aint got shit on me!'
Is that the Good & Plenty limited edition?
It came with a free tampon.
I love how Overfinch was so proud of their work that they added their name to the hood. I would think that they'd be ashamed.
I hear the tires are inflated with Amyl Nitrite
wait, a gay soccer player?
Gayest thing out of Ireland since Oscar Wilde.
Not seen: Built in dildo seats, and dick gripped stearing wheel.
Not only that, they fucked up the placement of the driver's seat. And they're driving on the wrong side of the road… LOOK OUT!
This story and photo validate everything I've ever thought about soccer.
That it is absolutely, without question, the most fabulous sport in the world.
In the back, there is a tampon dispenser flanked by four 12" subwoofers.
Again…I blame Hip Hop.
Holy shit, Mantel is making Barbie cars life size now? Corporate America is everywhere.
Xhibit genty weeps.

Actually, a vehicle worth 90,000 euros would be worth $178,911 USD, but the vehicle would have only cost him nearly half of the 90,000 pounds when converted to USD – since the Euro buys nearly two times as many dollars. Not to get all financial on your ass, but nice math.
However, world financial institutions have yet to find an acceptable exchange rate for pink wheels, grills, and dead grandmothers.
Tight.
@El
i believe you might've missed the point. by a fucking long shot.

You must be great at parties.
If I ever get invited to one, I'll let you know how it turns out. My Mathletes competitions generally get in the way of my social life.
Really, this was just my poor attempt at expressing my displeasure with soccer posts – unless of course those posts are about WAGs.
/hangs head in shame.
Man, I tell you something, if you live in my neighborhood and you're dressed like that, you'd better be a hotel doorman.
Anyways, Stephen Ireland also sports some kickass hair plugs at 21.
Why is Burt Lancaster's sidekick* from The Crimson Pirate driving Ireland's car?
