Iraqi soccer star Nashat Akram was this close to realizing his dream of playing in Europe. But it
looks like it's not going to happen. England denied the twenty-four-year-old midfielder's request
for a work permit this week, so he won't be playing at Man City as planned. The reason? Iraq's
standing [.
Queue the jokes about the Seattle Mariners....
This tidbit comes to us courtesy of the Boston Globe:
Seattle Sounders FC received permission from Revolution director of soccer Mike Burns
to talk to assistant coach Paul Mariner about its head coaching position, a league source confirmed
last night.
The two groups have been drawn for Asia's final round of World Cup Qualification. Each group has
five teams with the top two from each group advancing to South Africa. The third place teams in the
groups will meet in a two-legged playoff with the winner playing the champion of Oceania.
Here are the two groups:
Group A
Australia
Japan
Bahrain
Uzbekistan
Qatar
Group B
South Korea
Iran
Saudi Arabia
North Korea
UAE
Although both groups have their difficulties, it looks to me like Group B is the tougher one since
three of the teams made it to Germany in 2006 (S Korea, Iran & Saudi Arabia), plus North Korea is
always capable of a surprise.
The Young Matildas will be playing in the ASEAN CUP in Thailand so they'll miss the big W-League

Sydney FC Coach Alen Stajic will also miss the Sydney opening couple of games. He's the YM Coach.

Soccer Chicks!!! AAAAIGH!

ROMA (ESPNdeportes.com) - Fue una noche de regalos: Zlatan Ibrahimovic nos regaló a todos los
amantes del fútbol un gol extraordinario, luego el referí le regaló a Inter un penal
que Adriano transformó en el gol del 2 a 0 y, por último, entre Zanetti y Córdoba se
las ingeniaron para regalarle a Vangelis Moras el tanto que fijó el marcador definitivo.
In the past few years, the number of American players plying their trade abroad has increased
exponentially. It wasn't that long ago that knowledgeable American fans could easily count all of
the "Yanks Abroad" (personally, I remember scouring for newspapers that would have a one-sentence
blurb on the exploits of Tab Ramos at Real Betis).
Greenland is an autonomous province of Denmark with a population of around 50,000. The Faroe
Islands are an autonomous province of Denmark with a population of around 50,000. The Faroe Islands
belong to FIFA; Greenland does not. A reasonable person might wonder why the Faroes are given
membership into the international soccer governing body while Greenland [.
Go ahead, name one club in the Uzbek League beside the one just below your line of sight. Can you?
Doubt it. And if you can and don't live within the country's borders, it's time for a hobby. FC
Bunyodkor, that club which made a big theatrical production out of Samuel Eto'o (and half of Barca,

Nicholas Anelka, Salomon Kalou, Frank Lampard, Joe Cole (2), Franco Di Santo and Shaun

We love wacky football news. So here's some very wacky football news: There are currently 92 South
Korean soccer players being indicted for dislocating their own shoulders, including 15
professionals from the K-League. That wacky enough for you? The big question is: Why? What drives a
footballer - especially a professional footballer who theoretically benefits [.
Defending champs Urawa Red Diamonds had the upper hand as they hosted Gamba Osaka in the semifinal
of the Asian CL semifinals today, having drawn in Osaka through The Almighty Away Goal. They made
it 2-1 in the first half, but 45 minutes and some shoddy corner defending later, Gamba were through
to their first [.
FIFA has denied Iraq's appeal to disqualify Qatar from World Cup Qualifying even though it admits
Qatar did not play by the rules.
This Sunday saw Qatar beat Iraq 1-0 to advance to the final round of Asian WCQ, however one of
their players was not eligible to play for Qatar.
Marcio Passos De Albuquerque, know as Emerson, was born in Brazil and represented Brazil at youth
level, thus he was ineligible.
I have no idea how we missed this the first time around, but way back in June, J-League player
Naoya Kikuchi was involved in a sex scandal that was simultaneously really depressing and, also,
more than a little hilarious (and long as you're only reading about it, and not involved). The
Júbilo Iwata player, you [.
Steve Menary's book Outcasts!: The Lands That FIFA Forgot is a fascinating read. In the book,
Menary reports on the far flung "countries" that FIFA doesn't recognize. Steve Menary sat down to
speak with me recently about writing Outcasts and the issues his book raises. Menary told me that
he got his start writing for [.
These are South Korean middle school students, waiting for Ronaldinho to show up and give an

And so to the fourth and final part of our round -up of the May and June World Cup 2010 qualifiers.
Today we cover the Asia and Oceania sections...
Asia
Overview
A complicated process here. In Round 1, thirty-eight teams faced each other in nineteen
home-and-away matches. Of the nineteen winners, the eleven highest-ranking teams (and by that we
think FIFA mean those teams that won by the biggest margins) received a bye to Round 3 while the
other eight played out Round 2 as a series of four home-and-away ties.
I rarely kick the ball around because 1) I have no children to kick around with and 2) I have a
suspicion that my wife commands better ball control and technique than I ever would, even if I had
played since I could walk (I am, indeed, the least-blessed in terms of any type of coordination;
seriously, not walking into inanimate objects is a minor victory for me).
You probably wouldn't expect pre-season cup sponsored by a photocopier to cause a pitch invasion in
Japan, but that's exactly what happened today. The Xerox Super Cup is like the Japanese equivalent
of the English Community Shield, with the J-League Champions play the Emperor's Cup winners. But
since Kashima Antlers did the double last year, [.
Adelaide United are the first Australian team to make it to the Asian Champions League Final, where
they faced Gamba Osaka in the first leg today. So you can imagine the weight of expectation.
Unfortunately, the A-Leaguers pretty much threw away the trophy with two criminally slack passes.
Young Scott Jamieson played a square pass in [.
One of the joys of watching the World Cup is seeing teams from different parts of the globe play
each other. The styles they employ are often a study in contrasts. Any time England plays
Argentina, it is a battle of grit and determination versus technique and guile (there's also the
wee matter of the [.
Well it's not the AFL Club's, Adelaide Crows or Port Adelaide. They might have been going 150 years
but who's heard of them outside Melbourne:)
Is there even a Rugby League or Union side from Adelaide?
Adelaide United a club just a few years old, already well known across Pohang, Korea, Changchun,
China and Kashima, Japan.
With 2008 ambling its way wearily to an end, November was the last chance for many countries to
pick up some badly needed points in their qualifying campaign for the 2010 World Cup. In the
CONCACAF region, it was more important than that. Some countries had to win or see an end to their
dreams of qualifying for the finals.
All of Asia's major club football rivalries: Featured Derby: The Tehran Derby, Tehran, Iran
Esteghlal FC vs Persepolis FC World Soccer Magazine declared the Tehran derby as the most
important derby in Asia. First contested in 1968, Esteghal FC currently hold the advantage having
won 20 games compared to Persepolis's 15 victories.
What's one of the benefits of being a billionaire owner of a large EPL team? You can fly your
entire National Team in to train with them. Man City's Thai owner, Thaksin Shinawatra is doing just
that, paying to fly Thailand's entire national team to England for two weeks to train with the Man
City players.
Just last week, the papers in Japan, Scotland and England were all discussing the possibility that
standout midfielder and free kicking maestro Shunsuke Nakamura could be on his way back to Japan
after many years abroad. He was said to be considering a return to Yokohama Marinos, with an eye to
securing a place in [.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6VcrFHPM1I You may have heard that Manchester United were in Saudi
Arabia this week for a benefit match against Al-Hilal. You may also have heard that they lost, and
that the winning goal came on a sweet bicycle kick by Bader al-Kharashi. What you might have
missed, though, was Sir Alex Ferguson's obvious amusement at seeing [.
When Kosovo declares independence on Sunday, the number of countries to have risen from the ashes
of the former Yugoslavia will reach seven (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro,
Serbia, and Slovenia being the other six). Kosovo's independence – supported by the US and many
EU countries, but strongly opposed by Serbia, along with its [.
As an LA Galaxy fan, I was horrified by the team's miserable performace in its 0-1 loss to Gamba
Osaka on Thursday, especially when compared to Houston's lovely 3-0 win over Sydney FC. Now that
the final and the third place games are officially over, I am no longer so panicked about the
upcoming MLS season.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVL45uWO-R0 After yesterday's kung fu goal, I thought I'd carry the
theme into today with some Kung Fu fighting, this time in the Japan vs. China game in the East
Asian Championship. I'm not normally a huge fan of video recaps of teams I'm not familiar with, but
I thought this one was both fun [.
We've made a pretty big deal here on the Offside (and rightfully so) about the MLS entering its
thirteenth season, and thus, becoming a teenager. But if Americans are excited about their little
league growing up so fast, think how the Japanese feel ... theirs can drive. The 16th season of the
J League is [.

Some transfer rumours are so bizarre they make you dizzy, and they don't come much dizzier than
Samuel Eto'o to Uzbekistan side Kuruvchi. But that's what's in the news today. Let's all take a
second to let that sink in... ... ..Kuruvchi's sporting director Bahtier Babayev claimed that:
"Eto'o will arrive in Tashkent on Thursday and he will [.
The Blues set off the preseason in fine fashion Wednesday, blanking Guangzhou Pharmaceutical 4-0
in China. Peep the photos below. Looks like Deco is already finding form.
This goal would be absolutely fantastic at any point during a game. 95th minute down one? Nigh
unbelievable. Ball's sent hurtling through the air by Kashiwa Reysol's goal keeper from his box in
one last ditch attempt to salvage a point and the next time it hits the ground.....it's in the
opposition's net.
Win a tournament you usually get a trophy. Not in Iraq, where the Asia Cup 2007 winning team will
get a stadium in their honor. Decent incentive, eh? Maybe more federations should employ this line
of thinking. (Sabah Arar/AFP/ Getty Images)
