some canadian guys writing about soccer

Usually, running non-English text through the Babelfish translator is a recipe for hilarity. This time, it produced only absolute misery, when it “translated” some text from Deportivo La Coruna’s website:

The Club sends a medical report to the Canadian Federation on de Guzman — The Real Sport Club was put behind schedule this in contact with the Canadian Federation of Soccer, via fax, to inform to them into the physical state of de Guzman, injured in the medium adductor and therefore of medical statement of release from duty. De Guzman was mentioned for disputed two official parties with its selection before Mexico and Honduras. The Medical Services of the Real Sport Club consider that the soccer player needs about 15 days of physical readjustment to reclaim his muscular injury.

Real translation: Julian de Guzman is out for two weeks. Meaning he is a no-go for the upcoming matches against Honduras and Mexico. Meaning that in our absolute must-win match on Saturday, we will be without de Guzman, Dwayne DeRosario, Adrian Serioux, Daniel Imhof and Issey Nakajima-Farran.

Fuck.

There’s nothing else to say.
