The Offside Rules 13 November @ 01:18 PM EST
Tonight, tonight, to-ni-ight
Oh-oooooh
We could make it right tonight, to-ni-ight
Oh-oooooh
I already have loads of respect for the Riot Squad because of the hospitality that they showed the New York supporters at MLS Cup last year; anyone who treats me to tacos, beer and bike jousting after such a crushing defeat are my people for life. Click to continue reading...

Fulham 3 Liverpool 1: The Best Fans In the World

Crimson Corpus of Liverpool Football Club 31 October @ 11:57 AM EST
Is it only me or is the whole world against us?

Firstly, we have a list of injured players longer than my telephone bill. Then, Rafa has to be contented with playing so-so players because of some friggin owners would not cough up the funds needed for us to be real contenders for the PL. Then we have a game in which we dominate play for such a long period and the bar stops the ball and the only time Pepe touches the ball is to collect it from his net.

Pitch Invasion 29 October @ 06:38 PM EST

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.

Joy Division's Peter Hook on Becks Secret Rap Career

The Offside Rules 12 October @ 02:51 PM EST
Lucky you, it's a Hooky "twofer" today. Channelbee has the king of the low-slung bass and one of the architects of the greatest World Cup anthem of all time spilling the beans on David Beckham's aborted rap career. And if anyone have a bootleg mp3 of Paul Gascoigne's banned verse, I want in! Click to continue reading...

The FTK Rant: 10 things I hate about Arsenal

10 things I hate about Arsenal

OK, during this International break and before the news of goings on in the Boardroom, I thought that I would have a light hearted rant. As Arsenal fans we are long suffering and this rant is mainly aimed at those of us who attend the Emirates. I find myself incredibly frustrated at times and I thought that I would share these with you.

England’s World Cup Song to get the X-Factor treatment?

WDKF | Qualified Football Arm Chair Managers Slash Pundits 05 October @ 05:21 AM EST
Rumours have already started that Simon Cowell has been asked by the FA to inject the X-Factor into the England World Cup Anthem. We've already talked on here on whether England can indeed win the World Cup and who you would pick in your squad. So who will sing the England World Cup Song for [...] Click to continue reading...

Torres Exclusive: Day I Realised I'd Never Walk Alone

Anfield Talk 16 September @ 11:00 AM EST
His head may have been in Madrid but his heart was already in Liverpool.
Even though Fernando Torres didn't actually realise it, his fate was already sealed.
A flick of the arm, a fleeting connection with a defender jostling for the ball and the ripped skipper's armband revealed his destiny. Click to continue reading...

Some international tidbits

The Beautiful Game (2) 05 August @ 05:50 PM EST
Did you hear Colombia has cracked down on the rights of visiting fans in their league. No wearing team shirts, carrying banners or club flags.
I guess too much violence caused the move, but I can't see it preventing further hooliganism.
Also, Muslims aren't too partial to a Schalke anthem and apparently enough outcry has forced the team into considering some action. Click to continue reading...

It´s the 4th year in a row that a Spanish rider wins the TOUR DEFRANCE.This year ALBERTO CONTADOR won his second title ( lasttime 2007) ahead of Andy Schleck & 7 time winner Lance Armstrong.The curious episode was that the organization played the Danishnational anthem instead of the Spanish when Contador stoodbewildered as he watch the Spanish flag climb the mast to a"different beat".

Alarazboy does it again! Just when you think it can't get any nastier, dude takes it to the gutter then brings it back to his place for a evening of anchovies, Wild Irish Rose and Marvin Sease's "Candy Licker" (the ultimate old-school "Jody" anthem) on repeat. Seriously, this sh*t is so potent that if you're not careful somebody might get pregnant. Click to continue reading...

Chula United v Pattaya United 1-1

Jakarta Casual 26 June @ 11:41 PM EST
Dunno how best to describe this. The first half was yawnsville, second half caught fire and how. For the two bottom teams in the TPL both teams will probably be happy with the point and with all and sundry blaming the ref I guess everyone goes home feeling dead chuffed.
Chula took the lead second half when the Pattaya keeper failed to hold a well struck shot from outside the area by some geezer who may well have been Thai. Click to continue reading...

Ron: United Fans Made Me Strong When England Hated Me

Republik Of Mancunia 21 June @ 08:45 AM EST

Cristiano Ronaldo was public enemy number one in the summer of 2006 following Wayne Rooney's dismissal in the World Cup. Ronaldo was one of five Portuguese players surrounding the referee but because he winked at the bench after Rooney had been sent off, the country blamed him for England's World Cup exit.

Maradona Says Argentina Were Better

Futbolita 11 June @ 01:39 AM EST

Despite Argentina's 0-2 loss to Ecuador at Quito last night, The Dona insists that his team were the better side. Contrary to our previous Baby Anthem report, Messi did play in this game. Tevez, unfortunately, failed to convert a crucial penalty in the first half with a weak shot that should be banished from eternity!

Liveblogging Costa Rica-USA

HexagonalBlog 03 June @ 08:59 PM EST
I'm home, and the match is about to kickoff, so let's do it. Costa Rica 0-0 USA KO Commentary after the jump. 1907: Costa Rica will play 4-4-2. Will the extra man force Donovan to work more in midfield? 1906: USA will be playing a 4-3-3, with Altidore and Torres in the lineup. Good to see Torres there; his experience in situations like these will be important. Click to continue reading...

Barca - Man Utd Champions League Final Preview: All Action, Please

All Action, No Plot 27 May @ 10:51 AM EST

Ah The Champions League. That inescapable anthem. The meaningless group games. The same teams each year - some of whom actually are indeed national champions. And money, everywhere. Advertising money. TV money. Salaries. Transfer fees.

The All-Action Way

With this thick layer of cynicism building up around the Champions League I find it genuinely refreshing to look forward to tonight's game.

The True Value of The “Champions” League

SoccerLens 27 May @ 05:30 AM EST

"Ceux sont les meilleurs equips"
"Die Meister, die Besten, les meilleurs equipes, the champions."

What UEFA has tried to do in the infamous CL anthem played before European nights, during European nights, and even during those new god-awful commercials played during half-time is instill in all viewers the sense that the teams that participate in its glory competition, the UEFA Champions League, are truly "die besten".

Akon and the World Cup music?

The Beautiful Game (2) 18 May @ 07:44 AM EST
I saw this first over at Pies. Some rapper dude is saying he's the "musical director" of World Cup 2010. Ollie's not impressed, I'm equally unimpressed.
I never understood Akon's popularity, but whatever. I'm not super interested in the musical offerings of the greatest sporting event in the planet. Click to continue reading...

A day in the life of a hated ref

The Beautiful Game (2) 08 May @ 12:05 PM EST
Of course, the death threats. The smuggling out of the country via police escort to avoid those threats being realized.
The changing of hotels to avoid being noticed.
Having the 'you have more hair than brains' chant become the anthem of millions of fans instead of just the Norwegian ones. Click to continue reading...

NSR: Kings of Leon Could "Use Somebody"

The Offside Rules 26 September @ 01:12 PM EST
Damn y'all I don't know what it is but I'm tits-over-tail for this new Kings of Leon record. I never liked their first two LP's of dirty Southern twang, and only thought their last record was OK. But this new one, Only By The Night, is killing. I'm still not over "Sex on Fire" yet, and now they're dropping the U2-Meets-Journey anthem "Use Somebody" on me. Click to continue reading...

Rafa messin' with Liverpool's anthem

The Beautiful Game (2) 19 September @ 05:07 PM EST
The coach wants it to be sung closer to kickoff and not as the players walk out.
"We thought it would keep the atmosphere right up until the kick-off and that way the opposition is on the pitch when all the noise is in the ground."
He might have a good point, since there's a league anthem that has to be played before the match and it often cuts into the Reds' fans rendition. Click to continue reading...

Rafa Keen On Anthem Switch

Anfield Talk 19 September @ 11:03 AM EST
Rafael Benitez is hopeful a tactical switch off the field of play will help Liverpool generate an atmosphere to send shivers down the spines of any side visiting Anfield this season.
The Reds boss believes the introduction of the Barclays Premier League anthem has curbed the impact of the club's anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone' and feels that asking fans to sing the famous song just prior to kick-off will help give his side a psychological edge. Click to continue reading...

Improving the atmosphere at Anfield Road

My Anfield 19 September @ 05:20 AM EST
Following Chelskis example of introducing cheerleaders to Anfield Road is probably not the best way to liven up the crowd. It's sad to say but Anfield Road can be disappointingly quiet at times, fans clearly need no encouragement for the big games, but it's a very different story for the smaller ones.
