Cristiano Ronaldo: He's No David Beckham.
(That headline may crash Google. Apologies.)
The #7 Red Devil to Madrid train has treated the Spanish quite well so far. Whilst Cristiano Ronaldo appears irreplaceable and integral on the pitch, GoldenMcNuggets was irreplaceable off of it. In the club shops, on clothing store racks...
FC Barcelona vs Cultural Leonesa: how to play in the midst of a stampede. An international stampede.
Yes, that’s a bit of an exaggeration. FC Barcelona players have way too much class to trample anyone in their rush to leave for international pastures. I assume they will politely excuse themselves before leaving, but the point remains that someone is going to actually go on the...
Inter: Mirko, Mirko, Mirko Pt. II.
ones
A much championed fight in the press. A crippled Roma lying wounded; a captain in the stands and another at the hospital by the half; an impromptu leader on one leg; a game with more dodgy fouls than rollerderby. And yet....
Two points lost, not one point gained.
Mirko...
NCAA College Cup Contestants Revealed
The silhouette above is not Mia Hamm
My college experience was basically a four year drug binge of various quantities and varieties resulting in some sort of humanities degree that has nothing to do with my career. So I'm not exactly jumping up and down with excitement over...
Has Anyone Seen Our Mojo?
Boca 0-0 Colon de Santa Fe
The faithful made their way to La Bombonera ready to party. The songs were louder, the atmosphere more hostile and the landscape a sea of yellow and blue banners, umbrellas and balloons. It was, afterall, a day for celebration. One of the clubs greatest...
An Analysis Of How Much We Suck
The headline is as blunt as I can get about this post. All I need to show you is one statistic.
7 points from 10 matches played.
Catastrophic? Indeed. The team is doing so bad, that the inconsistent and unpredictable Atletico of last year is dearly missed. You could have at least...
Story Of A Diver: David N'Gog Ends His Career Before It's Begun.
[101GG]
This is bad. So very, very bad.
Liverpool and Birmingham offered us, as Daryl so aptly pointed out, 'what the Premier league is supposed to be like'. It really was some fantastic stuff with the Reds pinning Birmingham into not just their box, but their own six...
I've got three words: Galaxy vs. Chivas USA post-game analysis
And those words are: Meeting the challenge.
Right. So before the first playoff leg I predicted a series score of 2-1. Then before the second playoff leg, seeing the kind of chaos the two teams were creating and the resulting goals, I predicted 2-1 for the game on Sunday.
So...
A Look Back - January 28, 2006
The date: January 28, 2006
Celtic v Dundee United.
A Celtic starting eleven of Artur Boruc, Mark Wilson, Adam Virgo, Stanislav Varga, Ross Wallace, Shunsuke Nakamura, Neil Lennon, Stiliyan Petrov, Shaun Maloney, Magic Zurawski, and Welshman John Hartson.
Of that line-up,...
Fact or Fiction
To continue this experiment in Webmocracy - Do you guys want me to play with real players or computer generated players (like last time).
I like computer generated players, as they'll all have a face, and it is more like a parrallel universe where I get to manage in Scotland...
Supporting Hertha and Bayern From the Other Side of the Berlin Wall
It was 20 years ago today that the Berlin Wall fell, and so Jan posted the above video about Helmut Klopfleisch on Bundesliga Offside, which I'd also like to share with readers here on the front page.
Klopfleisch was either very brave or very crazy, because - in a nutshell ...
Wille is on to something/loaner report
Tom Wille, FulhamUSA founder and Fulham correspondent for ESPN Soccernet, penned a piece that I wish I'd thought of: Why All the Road Matches After Europa League Ties?
Seriously, Fulham have (counting backwards) gone from Rome to Wigan, London (Roma home) to Manchester City...

Lille, Siena and the End of a 70 Year Drought
With a last gasp goal Genoa rescued 3 points against Lille and their Europa League aspirations. A Last gasp goal against Siena secured a win in the Serie A and insured Genoa stay within touching distance of the top 4.
It continues a mini revival that has seen Genoa go on a 3-1...
Full Time: Liverpool 2, Birmingham 2
To recap:
* David Ngog opened the scoring with a stunning volley from six yards after some good Liverpool pressure.
* Liverpool concede the equalizer from a set-piece: Brum get three headers in the box, the last by Chucho Benitez past Pepe Reina.
* Albert Riera aggravated...
Celebrating Arsenal's Sexy Football
While Chelsea and Man United played out yet another pretty boring 1-0 (to recap, Chelsea beat Man United thanks to a 1-0 win, Man United defended through most, goal came from a dubious Set piece, which John Terry headed in. Main talking point was Drogba being booked for getting in...
Introducing Italian International Davide Biondini
I always thought Lippi knew what he was doing for the most part, but now I am more sure after this weekends announcement that Cagliari midfielder Davide Biondini was named to the Azzurri for the November 14th game against the Dutch and November 18th against Sweden.
Now I am no judge...
Stung
Due to an invasion of wasps in my kitchen (I kid you not!) it was impossible for me to get a preview out there on time but where I was lucky to evade any harm, Lazio found themselves stung by a superior Milan side. With another international break looming, there is no quick-fix to...
Union Kit Release Imminent
Emails have been sent to Founding Members regarding the upcoming Union uniform release. Rumors of them arriving before Black Friday and the holiday shopping season have proven to be true, and consumers are already able to pre-order many items (including the unreleased, not yet seen...
What it Took to be a Bundesliga Fan in East Germany
20 years ago the Berlin Wall fell. Depending on who you ask it was either because of David Hasselhof, an accident or a peaceful revolution of the East German people.
One football fan was particularly looking forward to this event, after cheering on the "wrong" football...
Serie A and B Weekend Round-up: Giornata 12
Milan has really jumped up the table these past few weeks. After the horrible start where everyone condemned the Rossoneri to a season of misery, Leonardo's squad has made a complete turnaround, finally playing well and becoming contenders once again. They now find themselves 5...
The Five Stages of Grief, Sounders Style
Many years ago, grief specialist Elisabeth Kubler-Ross posited that grief has five stages. I believe this is relevant to most Sounders fans this morning, so let's take a run-through, shall we?
Five Stages Of Grief
1. Denial and Isolation.
At first, we tend to deny the loss...
Six Possible Reasons Why Didier Drogba Was Booked After Jonny Evans Kicked Him in the Chest
First thing's first, I'm not sure Jonny Evans did this intentionally. So I don't want this post to be all about him. But there's no doubt that his studs connected with Didier Drogba's chest during Man Utd's 1-0 defeat to Chelsea yesterday, and there's no...
