Taking cat-fighting to a whole new level This outrageous footage comes from the MWC Women's Soccer Tournament match between BYU and New Mexico. BYU won the match 1-0, but the main talking point was a performance of Norman Hunter-esque aggression from New Mexico's Elizabeth Lambert. Lambert dished out a series of full-on assaults throughout the match, culminating [.

And those words are: Western Conference champions!

In a fitting display on their home turf, the Los Angeles Galaxy put the finishing touches on a worst-to-first regular season for 2009. After a horrific 2008, the culmination of years of front-office incompetence and on-field underachievement accomplished under the glare of international media, the Galaxy put together a season that culminated in a first-in the West finish and a return to the playoffs for the first time since 2005.

Landon Donovan was granted his X-mas wish a week early and the MLS Most Valuable Player will be playing on brief loan in England's top flight from January to March in 2010.

And despite much of the criticism that Landon has received for the brief move overseas, one Yank thinks it is the only hope the U.

Gerade noch haben die Argentinier irgendwie noch die Kurve bekommen und sich für die WM 2o1o in Südafrika qualifizieren können. Überzeugen konnten sie dabei selten, die meisten Siegen waren mehr als glücklich und wo all die argentinischen Supertechniker auf einen Schlag ihre Technik und ihre Spielkreativität gelassen haben, weiß auch niemand.

Birmingham gave a show of both aggression and defense at home as they held Premier League table Leaders Chelsea to a goal less draw. The match saw a superb display by Birmingham keep Joe Hart who stood like a wall and denied Chelsea of any chances they had. Not even a boot hit on the [...]

The vast majority of Liverpool fans are still right behind Rafa Benitez and rightly so.
There is enough instability at the club with the owners and the debts, and the last thing we need is to be looking for a new manager.
One win in nine games isn't great but you don't turn into a bad manager overnight.

Liverpool legend John Aldridge claims that his old side have not been aggressive enough this season, and believes that this is the cause for their recent run of one win in nine games.
The Scouse-born Irishman is of the opinion that the Merseysiders have been sloppy in defence, and has pointed a finger at the back four's handling of set-plays.

SPAIN ended its last International Football game for 2009 with aconvincing 1-5 victory over AUSTRIA in Vienna tonight. The Austriansstarted with aggression & surprised a "cold" Spain in the 6th min when JANTSCHER scored for the home team.This awoken the "red beast" as Spain turned on the machine with Xavi,Iniesta, Silva, Villa & CESC FABREGAS taking over the ball & equalizingvia the later in the

The question is will the Match Committee treat Rikki Herbert in the same way as other A-League coaches have been for leaving their technical areas and arguing with the ref and his assistants. I think the going rate is $500 and 2 weeks in the stands. I watched Herbert sitting at the Roar end of his bench - unsighted as Muscat took out Oar.

The game on Sunday with Arsenal and Chelsea was not as close as most of us thought.

It was an easy game for Chelsea, brushing aside the young boys fewer than five foot at the Emirates with not a bead of sweat broken. Before the game, Arsene Wenger had promised the game would showcase to the world how his team were genuine title contenders.

Barcelona took on bottom of the table Xerez with many starts including Iniesta, Messi and Ibrahimovic starting on the bench.

The first half for Barcelona was lackluster as the condition of the pitch and Xerez playing a mostly defense half kept the opportunities few and far betweeen.

It was quite a contentious match on an unordinary day at Eastlands Saturday as Manchester City held on for a morale-boosting 2-1 win against Chelsea.

What was most obvious about this game is how much it mattered to most teams. I lost count of the number of times Chelsea and City players collided when trying to win 50/50 balls.

Out of the shadows Another "mid-table" performance from the Manager's team this week. Reina - clean sheet, but no win. Same points as PRobbo, who cost 1/2 as much. Vermaelan - Nice to have Verm back as Arsenal keep a clean sheet against Stoke. Guess I was wrong to think Stoke's size and aggression would get them at least a goal.

Think back to October when Liverpool deservedly beat Manchester United. Think back to the circumstances leading up to that game.
Rafael Benítez's side had just lost four on the trot, including the beach ball game at Sunderland and a home defeat to Lyon, which left their Champions League chances hanging by a thread.
