England face Andorra today in Fabio Capello's first competitive game in charge as England manager
as England look to qualify for the South Africa World Cup. Rio Ferdinand appears to be the only
absence from the squad, but there will be more-than-capable replacements with Terry, Lescott, Brown
and Upson all looking to be given a chance [.
Can Roma and AC Milan turn things around this week? I think Roma will and must as
Mourinho and Inter already have that 3 point lead which cost Roma the title last season. AC
Milan are having injury trouble already so Clarence Seedorf will have to fill the absence of Andrea
Pirlo in the midfield and [.

Champions League debutants CFR 1907 Cluj came from behind to beat Roma and record a stunning 2-1
victory at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Beyond the absence of Totti, Roma had a strong squad out on

field [.
Simple and straight-forward, "disaster" is the only way I can describe the unexpected
collapse as Lithuania defeated Romania 3-0 in Cluj. The absence of Cristian Chivu, Adrian Mutu,
Razvan Rat and Florentin Petre was obviously too much for Victor Piţurcă's squad to deal
with as the visitors completely dominated play.
The People is reporting this morning that Terry Venables has turned down the manager's job at

a hard foul by Chica should have earned Espanyol [.
Here's my column on MLS and scheduling. Also, thanks to the people who pointed me towards the
Galaxy's fourth absence.
The Galaxy are at a disadvantage against RSL based on manpower alone. It would have been a tricky
game with their full team. Still, this may be a good team to face with a depleted roster.
Sorry for the extended absence. Here I go to get my 'D' coaching license and then disappear - makes
you wonder what they did to me! It definitely was an intense and exhausting class. Thankfully it
wasn't 95+ degrees every day and we had some great kids volunteer to play during our evals,
allowing us [.
TORONTO - He got hurt in the 2008 preseason at BMO Field in Toronto. Running onto the pitch, his
ankle rolled. He was never the same. But, being Ivano the "Raging Bull" Volpe, he roared
on game in and game out playing through injury, and playing his game.
And he was effective. Playing through pain, he never showed it on the field, always charging,
tackling, and dribbling the ball up the right flank, ever so often creating chances in the middle
for the strikers.
Sorry for the absence, folks. Your humble Premiership blogger makes his salary by working in the
world of Wall Street...as you can imagine, it's been a busy couple of weeks.
But we're back now and ready for uninterrupted Premiership coverage from here on out, or at least
until the next financial apocalypse threatens our way of life.
Dirk Kuyt concedes the loss of striker Fernando Torres is a major blow for Liverpool, with their
next match at home to Manchester United.
Torres damaged a hamstring in the 0-0 draw at Aston Villa on Sunday, and the club have since
confirmed the injury will rule him out for between two and three weeks - making it highly unlikely
he will be fit to face the champions in the Premier League clash at Anfield on September 13.
Aye aye all, just a quick update for you for a wee while. The powers that be have decided that in
the absence of any league football in Scotland, now is the best time for Inside Left to go
travelling. We'll be in Singapore until next Sunday so updates will be sporadic [...]
Wake Med Soccer Park is one of the finest venues in the United States to watch soccer, if you have
a car. The total absence of public transportation to the stadium would be more noticeable if anyone
seemed to mind.
A light crowd came out to see the last place Hawks roll the dice in their bid to reach the
post-season.
Liverpool's first-team coach Mauricio Pellegrino believes countryman Carlos Tevez will be
Manchester United's danger man in Saturday's clash.
Pellegrino reckons the Argentinian forward will be a more prominent figure in the absence of
Cristiano Ronaldo.
He told Liverpool's official website: "Cristiano is an important player but it won't make a
massive difference to them because they have a lot of good players.
Enrique Cerezo has revealed that he hopes that Liverpool make it through to the next round of the
Champions League along with his Atlético de Madrid side from Group D.

after a 12-year absence and is delighted with the prestige that their involvement has brought.
Tonight in the French town of Nancy, Motherwell make their return to European football after a
thirteen year absence. A cracking league campaign that saw the Steelmen finish in third spot last
season earned them the right to compete in the Uefa Cup and, together with Celtic, they make up the
Scottish representation in Europe [.
Columbus v New York It's an important match out in Columbus tonight, as the front running Crew host
the Red Bull, who have been on a hot streak of their own. Guillermo Barros Schelotto is a recent
injury concern, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him given another week off. In his absence it
will [.
