Raul & Ivone Meireles: Bitchface, Redefined

It wouldn't be a smart move to say this happily married(?) Portuguese pair is the best bitch-facin' couple we've seen in awhile, because that would denigrate the caliber of cut-eye that Liverpool's Raul Meireles and his missus are bringing to the bitchface brawl.

We hear that Ivone makes for one bad-ass WAG, so as to not incite anger, we must bow down to the astonishing level of conjoined, full-on facial fear that's presented itself.

Last night, after his team's bruising defeat to Mexico in the Gold Cup final, goalkeeper Tim Howard commented (according to Grant Wahl on twitter), that it was "a f ing disgrace that the entire postmatch ceremony was in Spanish."

He was, to be sure, in a bad place. Howard is a world-class goalie, whose saves have time and time again literally saved the U.

The United States is scheduled to play an international friendly next week in Egypt against the host country, and as many of you are well aware, the political situation is unsettled, to put is lightly. By the February 9 friendly there may not be a government in Egypt, or even a new one, but the situation is incredibly fluid.

Jose Mourinho's paranoia has to be growing after Andres Iniesta escaped a UEFA ban after getting a 'deliberate' booking for time-wasting.

Iniesta has been cleared of picking up a deliberate yellow card against Shakhtar Donetsk and will not face any action from UEFA's disciplinary committee, which means he can now play against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu on April 27.

£17m move doesn’t leave Villa fans angry

The big news of the day is that Ashley Young has left Aston Villa for Manchester United for the hearty sum of £15-17M. The English winger has signed a five-year deal at Old Trafford in a move that had been expected over recent days.

What shocked me most about the move of Young, who scored just nine goals in 39 appearances this past season for Villa, was the lacking of anger and bitterness from Villa fans.

We rightly get angry about foreign fans racially abusing black players, but are English fans really any better?

The next time the English national team are in action and players are subjected to racist chants, don't feel indignant yet superior. Don't be consumed by anger and attack the opposing country's fans as being backward.

A drunk fan decided that the best way to utilize his buzz during the Dutch Cup clash between AZ and Ajax was to attack AZ's keeper Esteban Alvarado because...well, he was drunk. So the keeper defended himself, then attacked the intruder with his boots and boiling anger. Understandably. However, the referee decided he should then send off Alvarado, which then prompted AZ to walk off the pitch.

I think Posh said it best in Spice World, "When you know exactly what is supposed to be happening, would somebody please let me know?"

Beckham today extended his training stint with Tottenham until the end of February, instead of joining the Galaxy now for pre-season training. Ever inclined to see the bright side, I hope that Tottenham simply have a very good training program and he wants to be more prepared to play for the Galaxy.

Sunday afternoon at Stamford Bridge, and a chorus of cheers from the Chelsea crowd greets Steve Clarke, Liverpool's first team coach. A former Chelsea man, and assistant to Jose Mourinho in those heady days of Premiership titles and Champions League finals, the reception he received was befitting of a man who had help to guide Chelsea to the successful period in their history.

Quiet, isn't it? In years ending in an odd number, the Euro-centric football enthusiast's calendar suddenly opens out before them like the savannah plains. The 2011 Women's World and the European Under-21 Championships sit before us like twin oases and the press will continue to feed the constant thirst with a drip of transfer stories, many of which will come to nothing and many more of which will not become truth until the last possible moment before a ball is kicked in anger again.

I think from the outside looking in and I am not being disrespectful in anyway here to him, It seemed that Carlo Ancelotti lacked the "edge to him" that John Terry speaks about when he talks of Guus Hiddink.
I think if there is one thing about Ancelotti that most of us agree on it would be the fact that you never saw him on that touchline when things weren't going our way, shouting at the players, giving them a kick up the backside to try and get them playing.

The Dynamo are fired up, they are pissed off, they might even be irked. Whatever they collectively are, it's time for this team to take all the frustration, anger and any other useful emotion and channel it on to the field...and when better to start that tomorrow against Chivas USA.

The winless streak has reached seven matches, we are all where aware of it, but if bringing it up continues to irk the roster than I view it as a productive topic of discussion.
