Croatian Twins Score Twin Amazing Goals

2008-09-29T20:40:35+00:00

Something quite amazing happened over the weekend. Croatian midfielder Frane Vitaić scored for Romanian Liga I side Otelul Galati from his own half with this brilliant long range strike (above). It was so unlikely that the television broadcast missed it first time round and only managed to show it in the replay.

Michel Platini Is A Disgrace

2008-09-25T15:03:00+00:00

What an absolute wanker. I know I'm a day or two late on this but I'm busy sometimes too. This man, who somehow weaseled his way into the job of Uefa President just because he used to be a great player, should be removed from the game. If you haven't heard, Platini went on a rant attacking our manager Arsene Wenger.

Juventus - Catania

2008-09-25T07:46:59+00:00

Fratelli Bianconeri, grande occasione persa ieri sera e punti importanti lasciati per strada. Sono risultati come questi maturati in partite in casa con squadre piccole che non consentono di vincere i campionati. Quello che ci è mancato l'anno scorso sembra mancarci anche in questa stagione, nonostante la Squadra sia migliore come qualità generale e come singoli.

Champions League game #2: DCU 0 - Marathon 2

2008-09-25T06:40:27+00:00

The team sat in well through the first half and absorbed a few breakthrough chances by Marathon. It also looked as though the team missed out on a penalty call midway through the first half when Luciano Emilio was taken down by the Marathon's goalkeeper. Then, in the second half the guys seemed to gain a little control of the game and saw two decent opportunities for Boyzz Khumalo.

Have You Noticed?

2008-09-24T22:14:00+00:00

That the Intertoto Cup no longer exists. Yes, the world's most mysterious competion, with one winner, then a few more before half the teams 'won' it. When they realised that 24 ties with 12 winners, who all go to the UEFA cup, was basically the same as a UEFA Cup qualifying leg, they simply changed the name and got rid of the trophy.

Tony Cascarino article on use of Video Replay from the London Times

2008-09-23T03:18:00+00:00

Here's an interesting article that Tony Cascarino has written on the use of video replay in soccer. Tony makes some interesting points, but I disagree with the basic idea. Video replay can help to get certain calls right, and makes more sense in American sports where there are a lot of built in breaks in the game.

Video: Reading's phantom UFO goal...

2008-09-23T02:58:38+00:00

Don't blame the poor referee - it's the wicked linesman who was at fault.Reading are ready for a replay but that's not on.

Hahnemann's right, up to the line

2008-09-22T21:24:00+00:00

Marcus Hahnemann has a point. A lone voice in defense of the ubiquitously-ridiculed awarding of a phantom goal to his Reading team on Saturday, the Seattle native has argued that any number of officiating mistakes can change the course of the game over 90 minutes, so that ordering a replay every time there is a game-changing error is just impractical.

Rafa's Views On Andre Marriner

2008-09-21T17:30:00+00:00

Rafa Benitez was left to rue a "strange" decision that saw the Reds denied a goal, in a frustrating 0-0 draw with Stoke at Anfield. Stevie Gerrard had a goal ruled out by referee Andre Marriner, as he gave Dirk Kuyt offside, even though he didn't even touch the ball and there was no flag from the assistant.

we love it at home

2008-09-19T17:05:00+00:00

Image via Wikipediathe new york red bulls love playing at home - even on that awful artificial turf. we love it so much that on saturday night we came from behind and beat real salt lake 2-1.

according to steve and shep in the announcer's booth, we didn't deserve either of the goals we got, but i've got to disagree:

1) that's just soccer sometimes.

Moan: The Alleged Penalty by Sagna

2008-09-18T01:32:00+00:00

This post is moan.

The referee in the Dynamo Kiev - Arsenal match called a penalty on Bacary Sagna when the actual incident was a foul by the Dynamo Kiev foward; one worthy of a yellow card.

The call was a mistake. Mistakes happen, and it was a clever bit of cheating by the forward, reaching behind his back, grabbing Sagna's jersey, falling, and bringing Sagna down with him.

And The Academy Award Goes To…Giacomo Tedesco

2008-09-14T16:26:43+00:00

In real time it didn't appear Sulley Muntari had even hit Giacomo Tedesco's face, which does appear to be the case from this replay. But still, it was a tap and Tedesco hammed it up for the cameras like there was no tomorrow (I'm partial to the second angle they show). Did a good job, [...]

What should Coach Soehn say at halftime?

2008-09-07T03:28:00+00:00

I'm a bit behind at halftime on TiVo. But what can Coach say to the team at halftime that is down 1-0 with no offense on the field?? What good is defense at this point?

I'm brainstorming:
1. "Martinez - push forward at will." Thompson for Doe is confusing me.
2. "Simms - shoot from anywhere.

Aston Villa 0 - 0 LFC yawn

2008-09-01T06:47:11+00:00

Some would agree that this was an absolute borefest while others would not. Martin O'Neil and Rafa didn't get into a scrap and Barry didn't cry so it was definitely not the grudge match we were hoping for. For me, the game pretty much ended when Torres came out with a pulled hamstring because at that point the attack threat was gone.

Perth Glory v Newcastle Jets

If you can get your hands on this game or view a replay, do it as this 3-3 draw was the most entertaining A-League game I have ever seen. It was really all about the foreigners who all played a significant part in the goals and the game overall. There is often a lot of [...]

Football Weekend In Review - 16/17 August 2008

2008-08-18T20:54:00+00:00

This weekend was certainly packed with really exciting games and I am here to offer my thoughts on the ones that I watched.

The Blackburn/Everton game was certainly the most exciting of the weekend in my opinion. Blackburn looked very strong in the first half and Everton was lucky not to have given up more than one goal.

Reserves win; Dynamo Academy in action tonight

4 - DeRo from distance, off the post.
6 - Announcers discuss Igwe, correctly asses that Jay Heaps was unjustly suspended from the final in the Atlante scrum.
8 - Joseph with a scorcher from distance. High.
10 - This game has had a ton of intensity from the start.

Roar can afford a brave face: Roar 1 v CCM 2

2008-08-04T09:40:00+00:00

It was a funny comment attributed to Frank Farina in the Courier Mail today. It was suggested that the pre-season cup should be scrapped because it exposed players to suspensions for the real A-League season. Craig Moore's send off yesterday was the case in point. However, John Kosmina could be running this argument with 3 off on suspension (1 red and two - two yellows for the pre-season cup).

Video: Monterrey Highlights

2008-07-22T11:53:00+00:00

Here are a few highlights from the Monterrey exhibition on Sunday.
The first video showcases the great pass made by Santiago Fusilier to put Martin Nuñ through on Los Rayados' goal. There was a bit of controversy around this play as it looked like a handball outside the box and possibly even a sending off for Denying an Obvious Goal Scoring Opportunity (DOGSO).

TFC ties San Jose, lost momentum and direction

Toronto FC 0 San Jose Quakes 0

Well it was tough to walk away from the stadium with a scoreless tie, but it could have been worse. It is a sad indication of this floundering season that the levels of disaster had been created and ordered before the game against San Jose had even begun.

U.S. National Team - where they are at

2008-07-19T05:44:00+00:00

I was watching a replay of the recent game between the U.S. and Argentina tonight and was thinking about how far the U.S. National Team has come, and the direction that they are going in. Granted, this was not an example that the U.S. is on the road to winning the World Cup in 2010, the final result was 0-0.

Vancouver WhiteCaps beat TFC 1-0 or education continues even though school is out

2008-07-01T23:59:00+00:00

Toronto FC hosted the Vancouver Whitecaps in a Canada Day match-up at BMO. The Whitecaps took the lead on a penalty kick in the first half. The kick was awarded after a foul was detected by the ref during a corner kick. I did not see it myself, but my eyes were following the path of the ball coming in.
