Liverpool Beat Tottenham To Lift First Trophy Of The Season

Anfield Talk 09 November @ 03:27 PM EST
Liverpool FC secured its first trophy of the season in Spain at the weekend, but it was on the track rather than on the pitch.
A motorsport team backed and financed by the English soccer club won the 2009 Superleague Formula title, seeing off the challenge of Tottenham Hotspur. Liverpool's driver, Adrian Valles, secured a fourth-place finish in the final race, won by Anderlecht, to take the series. Click to continue reading...

Calcio, Europa League: Quarta giornata, Risultati e Classifiche. Bene Roma e Genoa, male la Lazio

CitySport...un Mondo nuovo... 06 November @ 12:45 PM EST
Missione compiuta per Roma e Genoa che sconfiggono (col fiatone) rispettivamente Fulham e Lilla, conquistando punti preziosi nel cammino europeo. Qualificazione ancora lontana, ma sicuramente il successo ottenuto dalle due italiane è alquanto prezioso. Male, invece, la Lazio di Ballardini che cade nettamente al Madrigal, contro il Villareal (4 a 1 per Giuseppe Rossi e compagni), ma nulla è compromesso per quanto riguarda il passaggio alla fase successiva.

Rangers looking for Champions League recovery

Championship Talk 04 November @ 05:09 AM EST

Rangers face a crunch Champions League night this week and one of their stars has stressed the importance of the tie.

The Scots are currently bottom of Group G with only one point and enter a tie away in Romania against Unirea Urziceni knowing that another defeat will put an end to their distant hopes of qualifying for the next round, or even booking a place in the Europa League.

Maybe its time

Only Time Will Tell 30 October @ 12:38 PM EST
With Rangers getting closer and closer to almost becoming Leeds United, maybe its time for both Celtic and Rangers to run away from the Scottish Premier League and head for greener pastures. Rangers 's club's bankers Lloyds are owed £30million by the end of the campaign. With a TV contract that is nothing to celebrate the only way that they maybe be able to meet the payment is to sell half of the first team. Click to continue reading...

This week, our new tifo video series has shown displays from supporters in Australia, Northern Ireland and Sweden.

Now we make a short hop to Belgium to take a look at supporters of KV Mechelen, a team who have historically been close to becoming a dominant force in the Belgian league, but who have somehow often fallen short.

Lisandro Poses Threat To Reds

Anfield Talk 19 October @ 12:04 PM EST
"Lisandro is better than Rooney," says the iconic Portuguese defender Jorge Costa in a matter-of-fact voice.
The former Porto captain is on a speakerphone and has been on the road for at least four hours, so there is a temptation to put his claim down to weariness.
However, the man known as "the tank" during his playing days goes on to reassert his belief with the conviction of one of his uncompromising tackles, as if to make sure nothing has been lost in translation. Click to continue reading...

Pondering the Possibilities of the Atlantic League

Bundesliga Talk 14 October @ 11:52 AM EST

While the Aughts have been full of speculation/proposal about the Old Firm joining the EPL, the 90's was about the Old Firm joining what was dubbed as the Atlantic League. It was a joint proposal from the big clubs in the Netherlands, Scotland and Portugal. ESPN is reporting that there may be another attempt at this break away league, which would involve the aforementioned clubs along with Belgium and the Scandinavian clubs.

"Paisley Go Home!"...

Jesus Almeyda 10 October @ 08:22 AM EST
Liverpool'un efsanevi teknik direktörü Bob Paisley'nin 20 Ekim 1976'da Avni Aker'de Trabzonspor'a karşı 1-0 kaybettiği maç sonrası yaptığı açıklamalar. Bir yandan maç öncesi buraya kendi gelmeyip yardımcısını göndermeyi düşündüğünü söyleyecek kadar kibirli öte yandan favori olarak çıkıp farklı bir yenilgiden kıl payı kurtulduğu maçtan sonra "Deplasmandaki 1-0'lık sonuç alınabilecek en iyi skor" diyebilecek kadar sivri dilli.

With another AZ debacle behind us, another proud Dutch club wasn't able to concentrate for the full 90 minutes. The mighty Ajax this time, at home against Anderlecht.

La apuesta de Platini

Hace un mes se sorteaba la máxima competición europea de clubes: la Champions. En el bombo estaban equipos como el Zurich, el Unirea Uriceni, el Maccabi Haifa o el Debreceni. Equipos que han ganado su competición doméstica y que por lo tanto sí son campeones. Más campeones que Atlético de Madrid, Milan o Arsenal que quedaron cuatros en su competición.

Standard Liege v Arsenal
UEFA Champions League

"Sometimes they choose somebody and they say 'let's do him' and everybody jumps on the wagon.

Y es que La Federación Internacional de Historia y Estadística de Futbol nombró al Real Madrid como el mejor club del Siglo XX, dejando por debajo a equipos como Juventus, Barcelona, Milán etc.

El Balón Europeo 02 September @ 09:36 PM EST
Fue el gran ganador de los partidos de ida de la repesca, y su lugar en la zona de grupos está casi asegurado. Ganó, gustó y goleó ante su público en el debut europeo tras un dubitativo comienzo en la Ligue 1. Pero el amplio resultado queda un poco relegado ante el satisfactorio rendimiento del equipo de Claude Puel, quien comienza a engranar las piezas de un nuevo Lyon, más inexperto pero más Click to continue reading...

Is This The Worst Tackle Ever?

Footy/Soccer Blog 01 September @ 05:22 AM EST

Okay, the headline may be a bit over-the-top but this has to be the worst tackle of the season... the video is pretty gruesome too, so you have been warned...

It happened during a bad-tempered match between Anderlecht and Standard Liege, ending in a 1-1 draw. Needless to say, Axel Witsel received a straight red card for his actions.

DTotD: The worst thing ever

Dirty Tackle 31 August @ 11:42 PM EST

I'm being completely serious when I say don't even watch this. It's truly horrifying and will probably make you cry.

Anderlecht's Axel Witsel earned a much deserved red card for snapping the leg of Standard Liege's Marcin Wasilewski and basically ruining his life on Sunday. The expression of sheer terror and shock as Wasilewski's face as he looks down at his crazy straw leg is something that will molest your nightmares for days.

Axel Witsel tackle - Marcin Wasylewski leg break

SoccerLens 31 August @ 07:02 AM EST

The eagerly anticipated weekend game between Anderlecht and Standard Liege will be remembered for all the wrong reasons after a tackle from Axel Witsel on Anderlecht's Polish defender Marcin Wasilewski broke his right leg.

The tackle came midway through the first half and earned Witsel a straight red card.

The Most Horrific Tackle You Will See This Season (Video)

Caught Offside 31 August @ 03:26 AM EST

This is just plain gruesome. Watch how Standard Liege player Alex Witsel goes over the ball and deliberately stamps on Anderlecht man Marcin Wasylewski's leg and essentially snaps his leg in two. This is probably as bad as the Eduardo incident of a couple of years ago. Now this kind of challenge deserves a six month ban and I would imagine Wasylewski's career must be over after such a challenge.

A Honduran in Hungary, hungry for the Champions League

HexagonalBlog 27 August @ 12:50 AM EST
Debreceni's ascension to the group phase of the Champions League is a great story, but there is a CONCACAF angle. Honduran midfielder Luís Ramos has been with the side since the summer and has played in only three matches with the club, but he started and played the entire second leg. As he described to Honduras' sports daily Diez, the celebrations have been pretty raucous. Click to continue reading...

Champions League 2009-10: Anderlecht and Celtic Looking For Miracles

Championship Talk 25 August @ 08:55 AM EST


After strong showings in the first leg of the playoff round, both Lyon and Arsenal are in a comfortable position to enter the group stage. Lyon can claim a tenth consecutive group-stage appearance unless they completely fall apart. The French club overwhelmed RSC Anderlecht 5-1 last week, while a 2-0 deficit would appear insurmountable for Celtic FC as they travel to London to take on Arsenal.
