Cameroon, Algeria, China, North Korea, Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka are reportedly keen to come here while Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia, Timor Leste and Philippines (in other words half of ASEAN) are keen on home and away games.

Sochaux midfielder Ryad Boudebouz has revealed that Liverpool is one of the clubs chasing his signature.
The highly-rated Ligue 1 winger has told reporters he has attracted interest from the Merseysiders as well as a host of French clubs understood to be Lyon, Lille and Marseille.

As you may have heard yesterday, Wayne Rooney inadvertently broke a nine-year old lad's wrist last Sunday when a wayward shot cannoned into the crowd during the warm-up at Molinueux.

Sitting in the front row of the Jack Harris Stand with his old man, young Jamie Thomas (attending his first ever United game) had the misfortune to be on the receiving end, putting his hands up to stop Rooney's shot from hitting him square in the face and fracturing a bone in his wrist in the process.

Before his country's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Algeria yesterday afternoon, Gambia 'keeper Musa Camara was seen sprinkling mysterious white powder across his goal-line which has since been identified as 'Gri Gri' an African voodoo amulet that is supposed to ward off bad luck and stop stitched leather crossing white paint.

It's not always good news, is it? Though this seems it could be at least partly the plot to a Bond film, so if any of the victims fancy whipping up a quick screenplay and they are there's certainly some money to be made from this.

There's been a disturbing trend of disabled children of those who played for the Algerian national football team roundabout the time a Russian doctor with mysterious practices showed up in the early 80's.

The African Nations Cup kicks off this weekend, which provides a handy opportunity for under performing league players to show what they're about! Unfortunately, perennial favourites Egypt failed to qualify for this alongside Algeria, Cameroon and Nigeria.

Liverpool is once again being linked with a move for talented young midfielder Ryad Boudebouz who was heavily linked with a switch to Anfield over the summer.
The 21-year-old impressed many with his superb performances for Sochaux last season and was reportedly close to leaving the Ligue 1 side in the summer but in was convinced by the clubs management to stay.

The performances of the North African national football sides in 2011 have reflected the political actions of the Arab Spring.

The failure of Egypt, the champions of the past three tournaments, to qualify for the 2012 African Cup of Nations (ACN), alongside the absence of regional heavyweights Cameroon and Nigeria, has thrown the tournament wide open.

PUMA launched the Algeria 2012/13 home kit in November along with those of the other African nations soccer programs it sponsors. As Les Fennecs prepare for the second round of the 2014 FIFA World Cup African zone qualifiers next year, the Algeria PUMA 2012/13 away jersey has also been launched. Here is a detailed look [.

Luis Suarez yesterday escaped what could be a hefty ban after the FA delayed its decision on his race-row case, but one other high-profile striker was not so lucky.About six hours after Suarez's case was adjourned for the day, the Cameroon FA banned skipper Samuel Eto'o for 15 games for allegedly playing a part in persuading his team mates not to travel to Algeria for a friendly last month.

Cameroon's most decorated player and captain, Samuel Eto'o has 10 days to appeal his International 15 game ban handed down to the striker after he incited player's to go on strike last month which prompted Cameroon's friendly with Algeria to be postponed.

The strike followed a row over bonuses after a tournament in Morocco in November.

With Danny Guthrie out anywhere from four to six weeks with a groin strain, we mentioned that Haris Vuckic or Dan Gosling could get a chance tomorrow at Carrow Road. Mehdi Abeid could get a chance tomorrow But we didn't know if 19 year-old Frenchman Mehdi Abeid was back from playing for Algeria in the [.

It only seems like yesterday since that fateful day back in June of last year when England's World Cup journey came to a shuddering halt against a young, fast-paced, powerful German team that showed English fans everything that our team wasn't. Well, here we are only 16 months or so later, with the first stages of Euro2012 already under our belt following the draw in Poland for the Group matches, and frankly, nothing much has changed.

Morocco versus Algeria in an African u23 game and things are dire. So dire, Algeria's Jugurtha Hamroun walks around the Moroccan keeper, Yassine El-Kharroubi, to grab an extra bit of advantage, which amounts to the entirety of his shorts.

They both, until this summer, played for Guingamp in the French Championnat National.

Mehdi Abeid is off to play for Algeria, as they attempt to qualify for next summer's Olympic Games to be held in the UK. Mehdi Abeid - to play for Algeria U23 side Mehdi will now be unavailable for Newcastle until he comes back in on mid-December, but manager Alan Pardew has decided it will be good for the youngster to get [.

Michael Bradley's game-tying goal in the 85th minute kept the USA's hopes alive in the 2010 FIFA World Cup
As the U.S. gets set to play Slovenia for only the second time, ussoccer.com looks back on the pivotal moment from their first encounter and what remains one of the biggest plays in World Cup history for the United States.

Liverpool are facing stiff competition in their pursuit of Ryad Boudebouz with reports emerging claiming Spanish side Real Betis have made the Sochaux midfielder their top priority.
The Algeria international revealed recently that Liverpool have been monitoring him with director of football Damien Comolli in France to watch him in action on numerous occasions and to talk with the Sochaux president.

The US men's soccer team has had an up and down time over the past few years. There have been highs and lows and the sacking of their coach. Hopefully this time will be a learning curve for the players and staff so that they can go to greater heights in the next four or five years.

The World Cup of 2010 was certainly a positive.

Puma held a bit of a bash at the Design Museum in London last night to formally unveil their latest nine creations for next January's African Cup of Nations there were originally supposed to be ten on display, though Algeria's kit was omitted after they failed to qualify for the competition.

With the results not going the United States national team's way, it's no surprise that Jurgen Klinsmann's side continues its slide down the FIFA rankings.

The United States fell three spots to No. 34 -- sandwiched in between 2010 World Cup foes Ghana and Algeria -- following its win over Honduras and loss to Ecuador.

It looks like Mehdi Abeid has decided he'd like to play for Algeria at International level.

Here are some collection of very old goals from the archive, mostly are non-famous goals or at least not over-consumed by media such like the WC goals. Okay, to say it is historical, i selected them to be at least 20 years old, so they are up to 1991, I will arrange them historically
1961, I start with this goal from the 1961 European Cup final, scored by, Czibor , a Hungarian player who used to play in Barcelona.

In a move that is only surprising by the timing of the announcement, the United States Soccer Federation announced today that Bob Bradley has been relieved of his duties as coach of the United States Men's National Soccer Team. The move ends weeks of speculation after USSF President Sunil Gulati failed to publicly back Bradley when the United States lost to Mexico in the Gold Cup final.

Yep, it's another post-match fisticuffs video in which, after Algeria emerged as 1-0 winners in the Military Games (nope, us neither) final in Brazil at the weekend, irate Egypt forward Ahmed Eid quite literally kick-starts a mass brawl by breaking free of the referee's clutches and planting his studs square into the small of an Algerian player's back with things rapidly escalating from there.

Algeria won the Military World Cup at Rio De Janeiro after beating Egypt 1-0 in the final with a goal that brought to all of the Algerians sweet memories of 1982 World Cup. The goal was almost a replica for the most famous goal in Algerian history (against Germany).
The sad part that after the game, Egyptian star "Ahmad Eid" ignited the spark with a very dirty kick against Algerian player and the battle started again.
