Rangers may have pulled off the Scottish double this year, but some fans probably wish they had missed out on the SPL-clinching game at Dundee United. In a story that seems so last month here in the US, 13 fans from Dunoon took a bus to watch their team play, and now all 13 have swine flu. Or, if you prefer (as I do), Pig AIDS. Either way, all 13 are now scary statistics for the media to throw at you.
So, yeah, stay off the bus if you can. Especially three hour trips with lousy, drunken Scots with poor hygiene and poorer taste in teams. This advice alone is proven to add three years to your life expectancy.

This is why I don't ride the bus

Swine Flu Infects The Copa Libertadores
Perhaps swine flu H1N1 has jumped the shark now as soccer players are threatening to infect other soccer players with the virus. Hector Reynoso, Chivas defender, may have been the shark jumper during a Copa Libertadores match against Chilean side Everton.
During a handbags session, Reynoso approached Everton defender Sebastian Penco and appeared to spit and then cough at Penco. Reynoso then blew two snot rockets at Penco. Humorou but perhaps not the best thing to do when your country is the epicenter of the Swine Flu outbreak and 15 people have died in Mexico. Mexican clubs are playing before empty stadiums because of the hysteria.
Reynoso has since apologized and suspended indefinitely.
Video of the incident after the jump, which is quite impressive in several regards including the mullettude and the way the players treat the ref.
Note: I realize Mexico isn't South America but the Copa Libertadores is the South American tournament, which is why it gets the beloved "South American Soccer is Crazy" tag. However, shouldn't Mexico be South America? It is south of America.

**UPDATE** Oink, Oink
Some fun from the Champions League ManU-Arsenal showdown. Now the question is whether this gent is protecting himself from swine flu or protecting everybody else.
I didn't know Luka Modric was a ManU fan.
After the jump, see if you can spot Mr. PFA Giggs in his usual spot in the stands, plus a few other entertaining photos.
Does Andrei Arshavin ever take a non-goofy photo? I think he's skipping here with his Dorothy Hamill hair.
Must have been beans in the cafeteria that day.
Carlito seems to be enjoying that one a bit too much, don't you think?
Per request, the Vidic diving header pic and an Evra nipple biting picture
