TORONTO - Age appears nothing but a number for the beloved Captain of Pistolas FC Charles Eppich, as he continues to score goals in limited games, and remains the All-Time Goalscorer.
In fact he scored 2 goals in the finals to bring his 2009 tally to 6 and his all-time tally to 12.
But his absence from the roster during the Toronto Cup - an absence not brought on by availability - left many teammates and fans wondering about the status of our fearless leader. Click to continue reading...

Before we get to the award, an announcement...
Over the next two and a half weeks, we'll be running a contest here with some pretty cool prizes to give away. And to win them, all you have to do is vote for the Benny Awards! The team's hooked me up with the following prizes: a DC United/Volkswagen team scarf, the 2009 DC United media guide, and a Gatorade/MLS towel. Click to continue reading...

Oh how different one week makes...last week's review had me raving about Liverpool's form and their attacking potency, I then had the displeasure of watching Liverpool lose in the Champions League against Fiorentina and the gut-wrenching loss to Chelsea, the team I disliked the most. The media is already writing off Liverpool's chances but I will defer my opinions until after the Christmas/New Year matches. Click to continue reading...

What better way to promote a new pair of boots than by wreaking havoc against your old team and literally tearing them apart! Getting stuck into Fabergas' ankles, taking a chunk out of Van Persies face and then basking in glory in front of the Arsenal fans when scoring have ... Click to continue reading...

TORONTO - With many regulars out of the lineup for this Sunday's Semi Final, the challenge falls upon two silent workhorses to up their games, and provide the spark to victory.
Both Conrad Chan and Ivano the Raging Bull have missed their fair share of matches to both injuries and personal reasons. Click to continue reading...

Oh dear. Our friend Dimitar Berbatov is tangled up in a web of jealousy, deceit, and threats of violence with a couple that also meant trouble for former Liverpool backup goalkeeper Nikolay Mihailov, who publicly made fun of former girlfriend and 2006 Playmate of the Year Nikoleta Lozanova and ended up going into hiding after getting his Ferrari doused in acid at orders of her current boyfriend, Bulgarian mob boss Georgi ‘The Head' Stoilov.

We've had lots of Arsenal fans on here over the past couple of days telling us that Wayne Rooney dived, just like Eduardo, to earn United their equalising goal and way back in to the game. We have been accused of wearing red-tinted specs (something I happily admit to and challenge any passionate football fan to view a game from any perspective other than biased towards their own team!

I got in trouble that last time I posted something unconfirmed, but under my new charter of "being unofficial, being irresponsible, and being the first to report stuff", I'll give it a go anyway.

I just heard from my source (the same one that said the Real Madrid was confirmed, and then it was later on in the week he said it would happen), that Ben communicated to a confidant that he was done playing due to the pain he was experiencing.

If Edin Dzeko didn't want to leave Wolfsburg before, he might be thinking about it now.

Nothing says welcome back to training like your own teammate (Andrea Barzagli) taking you out at the ankles and causing a ligament injury that will rule you out for two weeks.

Italian hardman shows off his Y-fronts It is a good job this didn't happen every time Jurgen Klinsmann hit the deck in this fashion or he would probably be on the Sex Offenders Register by now. During last night's defeat to Egypt, Italy midfielder Gennaro Gattuso somehow ended up with his brown shorts around his ankles [. Click to continue reading...

AAAAHHHHHHHH I AM ARTUR BORUC AND THIS IS A LIST OF THINGS THAT MADE ME ANGRY THIS WEEK:

1. ROMANIAN RIOTS IF A FAN EVER CAME ON THE PITCH AND TRIED TO SCORE A GOAL ON ME I WOULD SNAP HIS ANKLES LIKE BREADSTICKS!!!! I WOULD ALSO LECTURE HIM ON THE DANGERS OF INVADING THE PITCH BUT THAT WOULD BE FAR LESS INTERESTING!

Well hello there.

I see you've caught me standing here and casually leaning against this...thing. I am The Berba.

You might remember me from such places as: under your bed, hiding in your closet with a video camera, or the man in scuba gear waiting for you in your bathtub.

Bendtner - caught with his trousers down.

It is one of the more unsavoury sides of English football. The tabloid headlines and pictures outlying in detail the drunken antics of professional footballers.

Court appearances, suspensions, rehab visits, it isn't what a manager needs when planning a big game, let alone the far reaching impact such problems can have.

I've been feeling this way for a while now, but haven't had the courage to come out and say it. I know it's only three little words, but what if it's not reciprocated? What if I'm laughed at? The words, of course, are those that goes through my mind increasingly each time I see Chelsea play, so here they go.

That's an acceptable response to Wednesday. It looked like it'd be a 2-0 hammering for the majority, but two more in the last ten minutes made the scoreline representative of the match. Click to continue reading...

It's Quarter Final time and you know what that means folks... over the next two weeks, somebody gonna get a-hurt real bad! Well not like Santi Cazorla's broken ankle hurt but more like a bruised ego or battered feelings... like the time I was caught with my pants around my ankles at the school dance and everyone was staring, pointing and laughing.

It didn't take long, did it? Two years after losing Congress and only five months after Bush left office and it's in shambles. Yeah, and they called Al Gore a sore loser. I also think it's cute that they've embraced identity politics at the same time that we're supposed to have moved beyond that, but that's besides the point.

Sometimes it only takes one player to turn a game from an almost genial affair, to your typical men's game complaint session. We're winding down the adult leagues as well, and the men's playoffs are right around the corner, and even though both of these two teams are inside the playoff zone (and presumably would like to stay there), the first half was downright nice - although I could see one person who could, if he wanted, light the fuse that could turn it it into something nasty.

I have no proof that this is going to happen, but in my head I see Freddy Adu and Jozy Altidore meeting in Andorra or somewhere in the Pyrenees mountains this week on a day off from training. They'll sit at the bar, order a rare cognac (because those two are sooooo legal in Europe) and then one of them will hold his snifter aloft and belt out the following toast:

Schalke's 3-3 draw with hated local rivals Borussia Dortmund this weekend was a Shakespearean affair in just about all the senses of that adjective.
There was certainly history. The Blues may hold the slight all-time head-to-head advantage over Borussia, but as any Dortmund fan will tell you, the men in yellow have won a league title in the past half-century, whereas Schalke haven't. Click to continue reading...

If a team does poorly, or as is the case in modern-day football, fails to entertain, the blame falls on the manager. That sounds right until you consider that if those bloody millionaires running aimlessly on the pitch had followed instructions, and if the opposition had turned around and grabbed their ankles as asked, the [.

The big news out of the locker room this evening is that Ben Olsen has been named to the 18-man roster for tonight's game. Benny has been training for the last week and a half and is attempting to salvage the season after numerous ankle surgeries over the last nine months. His lone appearance of the season came on June 29, when United beat LA 4-1 and Ben came on as a 75th minute substitute.

MARKHAM - The man from center-mid made his presence known this weekend, using his new boots to pot 4 goals in two games, leading Pistolas FC to victories over Titans FC and the Markham Dynamo.

It all started Saturday, in a makeup game versus Titans FC. In a must win attitude, the team came out gunning, and finally capitalized on Arbi's stop, setup, and shoot goal that got PFC on the board 1-0.

Wizards captain, Jimmy Conrad, is now all star winning captain, Jimmy Conrad. Conrad played all 90 minutes, captaining the MLS all stars tonight against West Ham United at BMO Field in Toronto.

J. R. R. Tolkien was a great dreamer. Which was perhaps why the Lord of the Rings was a rather good fantasy novel.

So you might have missed some of the game however you must admit that Turkey where unlucky tonight against a mostly poor German side.
Turkey took the lead in this game. It controlled much of the play. They then fell behind but, once again struck back in the closing minutes. This time maybe the Turks scored their late goal too early. Click to continue reading...

FORZA ITALIA Finally my 'adopted' team get to play in the Euro's when they kick off their Group C match against the clog wearers of Holland at 20.45pm (local time).

I came across this site that sells sports stuff specifically for girls. It's pretty cool, and they have a lot of nice items. For instance...

We have a girl on our team who can't seem to stay off the ground. She's always going in for the tackle and never backs down. Her ankles take such a beating.
