Winning a major international tournament should always be a cause of celebration. But Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama did his best to get himself in trouble in the aftermath of his side's African Cup of Nations win by trying to pick up the referee. Perhaps he was struggling to contain his excitement at the prospect of [.
The U.S. Under-20 WNT topped Germany 1-0 in the final of their World Cup in Japan, making it two of
the last three crowns. Enjoy the sights and sounds of Kealia Ohai's 44th minute decider, plus the
aftermath. - Greg Seltzer
But we had to return today to comment (briefly) on the fact that John Terry was cleared of
racially abusing Anton Ferdinand in a no-blame verdict. NOT GUILTY, ho.
I'm not going to get too far into it, but let's just say the case bordered on the farcical
before and during the trial, and this is exactly what was expected.
In the aftermath of England's 1-0 win against Ukraine at Euro 2012, Match of the Day's
back-slapping, in-joking gaggle of pundits were analysing the Three Lions' lucky win when all of a
sudden, Alan Shearer butts in when Lee Dixon is still speaking. Cue a rather pissed off response
from the former Arsenal man (around 35 seconds).
Talk about better the devil you know. OTP always assumed that Sky Sports' Geoff Shreeves was the
world's most annoying touchline reporter. But that was before Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel
stole his microphone in the aftermath of the Champions League victory over Bayern Munich. After a
brief, erm, piece to camera, the Nigerian star [.
Van Persie and Song may be gone but Arsenal have cause for optimism - originally posted on
Soccerlens.com
The inevitable questions over who will now score the goals for Arsenal were particularly
pertinent in the aftermath of a 0-0 draw with Sunderland which suggested they were already missing
their Dutch talisman.
The last couple of days have flown by in the build-up to Sunderland's visit, the actual game,
and the inevitable debates that take place in the aftermath of a game. During this period Arsenal
also agreed a deal with Barcelona for the sale of Alex Song. It was a transfer that came out of the
blue and was completed at express speed, at least by the recent standards of drawn out sagas that
Gooners have experienced.
In the aftermath of Manchester City's stunning finish, Manchester United will prepare to bounce
back after falling just short of their twentieth title. With City's first Premier League
championship since 1968, many believe that this could be the...
You might think that winning the Premier League title would be enough to momentarily distract
Nigel De Jong from his unquenchable bloodlust, but it wasn't.
In the aftermath of City's improbably stoppage-time win against QPR to take the title last
Sunday, De Jong, with his winner's medal around his neck, chased after Man City's kit man, Chappy,
and took him down with a sliding challenge.
England manager Roy Hodgson has refused to criticize Chelsea's Ashley Cole and Manchester
United's Ashley Young for missing the penalty kicks that cost the nation an opportunity to progress
to the Euro 2012 semifinals.
Instead, the Three Lions' boss has congratulated his team for an overall display that ended in a
respectable manner with no actual defeat after 120 minutes of goalless football against a gritty
Italian side.
A footballer's official website is usually a place where even the most embarrassing defeat can
be given some semblance of a positive spin. But in the wonderfully odd corner of the internet
maintained by Andrei Arshavin, honesty always takes precedent.
Losing to Greece in their final group match and missing out on what previously seemed to be a
certain trip to the quarterfinals, Russia's exit from Euro 2012 was particularly painful and in the
immediate aftermath, Arshavin just wanted some time contemplate what just happened.
This article titled "Euro 2012: Why Zlatan had every right to be angry with Sweden team-mates"
was written by Marcus Christenson, for guardian.co.uk on Tuesday 12th June 2012 10.56 UTC
While the rest of the world were enjoying the rebirth of Andriy Shevchenko, Sweden were left to
pick up the pieces of a hugely demoralising defeat.
The last two games from round 3 of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup were played on Wednesday evening,
both games taking place on the West Coast. Much like Tuesdays games, these two matches saw only
half of the MLS teams still standing in the aftermath. The Seattle Sounders, who had purchased the
rights to [.
That was the headline that might have been. It was almost perfectly set up. Two
Sounders had gone down previously with boots to their nether regions. On comes Marc Burch, fresh
from slagging off United in the media, only for Sigi to give him just two and a half minutes to
prove what he couldn't in a handful of years with DC.
There's losing, and then there's losing with your head held high. The Champions League final in
Munich was a game of inches. Chelsea soaked up pressure, which is exactly how they hoped to play.
But Bayern had every right to be in an oddly dignified state of despair.
Hereford United fans we chatted to in the aftermath of the club's 1-1 draw with Plymouth Argyle on
Good Friday seemed resigned to their fate. Given the club's history – one that saw them
controversially elevated to the Football League status in preference to Chelmsford City back in
1972 plus a spell of Conference purgatory in the mid-noughties, expectations never get ahead of
themselves at Edgar Street.
Chelsea captain John Terry has rubbished suggestions that his teammates will struggle to hold
their own against Barcelona in the semifinals, insisting that the Blues' solid form in the
Champions League this season does not make them a desirable opponent for any team in the world.
Terry had to be replaced by Gary Cahill during last night's 2-1 (3-1 on aggregate) win over
Benfica at due to a rib injury and although the defender admits that the nature of his injury makes
casts some doubt on the exact timing of his availability, he has no doubts that the Blues are ready
for Barca.
There has been nothing but encouragement for Chelsea ahead of the Champions League final on
Saturday night purely and simply because of comments that have come out of their camp in the
aftermath of their cup defeat last weekend.
Like I said in an earlier post featuring the Manager, there will be more coming out of the German
camp this week with the media frenzy focusing on the build up but, these comments will have been
thought about and delivered in a way to not reveal any signs of weakness.
Time to sift through the aftermath of that game between Dortmund and Bayern. And since the other
16 teams in the league decided to do nothing particularly unexpected, it'll be in a bit more
detail.
The title hasn't been decided yet, but the near future.
Dortmund have apparently been handed the title already by pretty much everybody, who has anything
to say about football.
Ives Galarcep reports on Egypt's run of success, which sees coach Bob Bradley and the Pharaohs on
an eight game unbeaten streak.
On a day when 73 people stood trial for their alleged roles in the deadly riots at a February
soccer match in Port Said, Egypt, Bob Bradley was busy doing his part to restore the game in the
African nation, guiding the national team in another match while trying to assess his squad before
the games start to count in June.

You no doubt heard that Reginald D Hunter a professional comedian whose last five Edinburgh festival shows have all had the word 'nigger' in the title caused "outrage" at the PFA awards gala on Sunday night when a room full of middle-class white peopleharrumphedin unison when he used the 'N' word in his set a few times.
So is it Helsingborg or Helsingborgs? Only on Tuesday, sometimes on Thursday, and never on Friday.
Or, to put it another way, it's interchangeable when referring to the soccer team and always
Helsingborg when referring to the city. Why Are We Here? In the aftermath of Rangers getting
dropped from the Scottish Premier League to the Third Division, players started looking for new
clubs.
Solo: A Memoir of Hope is the story of a deeply charismatic outsider. She is a lone wolf,
but she was also a prom queen. That's the paradox of Solo's persona: she's the outcast in the
middle of every drama, the anti-social social phenomenon. Solo might be an independent spirt, but
this book is centered on her relationships with other people.

Neil W. Blackmon The following is what I wrote in the aftermath of the United States' 5-1 victory

formation and a lineup of around 7 bona fide "starting [.
Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre insists there is no crisis at Anfield in the aftermath of
Kenny Dalglish's departure.
Dalglish was axed as manager on Wednesday after 16 months in charge during his second tenure as
boss.
It means Liverpool are currently without a manager and a director of football following Damien
Comolli's sacking last month.
Spent hours stumbling through the gorgeous wonderful Scottish countryside, sad to see that the last
round of storms have devastated the forests there, at times it was like witnessing the aftermath of
the Tungushka Event, so many pines toppled from the roots, many of them across our intended path.
Firstly I would just like to keep this all in an appropriate context, Gary Lineker's pathetic
attempts at mocking Arsene Wenger are not a massive deal, but they are certainly something that
should not be ignored and for this reason I just want to ramble on briefly about the aftermath of
Lineker's foolish outburst.
Behind the Axe looks at the aftermath of the loss in Montreal and my thoughts about what the
Timbers need to do in order to get out of this funk. While I still have optimism about what they
can accomplish this season, it's important that this team remain focused and together. That's the
only way they will break out of this slump.
