English Premier League champions Manchester United expects continued growth in Asia to drive
sales of merchandise and revenue from commercial agreements. With more than 190 million fans in
Asia, out of nearly 300 million around the world, the region had become "very important" to the
team, Commercial Director Richard Arnold told Reuters during a press conference to promote MU's
Asia Trophy Tour.
The biggest football tournament in Asia is in its second week and Team Melli's 2-1 win over Iraq
in their Group D opener has reinvigorated the football crazed Iranian fans. Among the fans are
several women, openly and joyously celebrating their team, something they are still not permitted
to do inside of Iran.

Look what greeted us on the doormat at Pies Towers this morning, a batch of photos of Chelsea's
brand new, solar-powered Adidas away kit for 2011/12...
Apparently, the socks are 'revolutionary' Adidas' words, not mine as they have padding in the
feet.
I thought that Peter Kenyon said some stupid things when he was at Chelsea, but the comments by
Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay surpass anything that Kenyon ever said.
Gourlay was in Asia ahead of Chelsea's tour there this summer and was asked about Chelsea firing
Carlo Ancelotti one year after he won the double.
Don't don't don't don't! Bình Dương's Lee Nguyen scored twice from restarts, including the late
winner from a devilish corner kick, to key a 4-3 win over Thanh Hóa.Side note: Isaac Acuna also
scored again this weekend, but his Mexico call-up seems set to pull him out of our pool. Of course,
if he turns it down, I'll go back to putting him up at NSC.
Strength of Confeds Based on Distribution in FIFA Rankings
SoccerMetrics looks at the strength of Confederations in a graphical form. The post also looks
at how an "Americas" Confederation would standout (most balanced in world).
Notable - CONCACAF still better than Asia. Still with less slots for World
Cup.
Chelsea will wear their new Turquoise Square away shirt for the very first time
when they take on Hong Kong champions Kitchee in the Barclays Asia Trophy opener on July 27.
Their shirt features TechFit technology which will help improve speed, increase
endurance and awareness by focusing the muscles energy to generate explosive acceleration and
maximum power.
La Eliminatoria para el Mundial Brasil 2014 empezó el 15 de junio de 2011 en Couva (Trinidad) con
la visita de Belice a Montserrat en el estadio Ato Boldon, que atrajo a unas 150 personas. Deon
McCauley, de Belice marcó el primer gol de la competición en el 2-5 a favor de los
centroamericanos.
On Manchester United's trophy tour of Asia, Patrice Evra has told CNN Go that he never gets
bored of winning trophies.
"No, that is the curse of Manchester United. It is never enough to win the trophies,"
he said. "That's why Manchester United is a big club, and we want to stay on the top.
Liverpool beat a Malaysian IX 6-3 today in their pre-season tour of asia,
however despite scoring 6 goals the Red's still look vulnerable in defence.

In which Chelsea's resident in-house Beatles tribute band a fab foursome consisting of Messrs
Drogba, Malouda, Ferreira and Cech perform 'Let It Be' live (with a little, alright, a lot
of help from their friends) in the restaurant of their hotel during the club's pre-season tour of
Asia.
Yes, I'll go ahead and say it. Jared Borgetti, eat your heart out. (Not really, it's still
pretty epic.)
Ryujiro Ueda of Fagiano Okayama earns the title with his bombing own-half header into the back
of the net, which he then celebrated like a tap-in on the goal line. Smooth.
Asian tour promo bloopers Arsenal have attempted to drum-up interest in their forthcoming tour of
Asia by recording some messages in the languages of the places they will be visiting. A nice idea
in theory, but trickier to execute given the lack of Chinese and Malaysian speakers in the Gunners'
first-team squad.
Nicklas Bendtner has been left out of the pre season preparations trip to Malaysia/China in Asia.
NB has trained all week @ Arsenal's training base but was left out of the squad that travels to the
Far East probably with a view to him joining another club in the near future in a loan or full
transfer.
Real Madrid 2011 SPANISH FOOTBALL Club REAL MADRID started on Monday ( yesterday ) their pre-season
& flew off immediately to Los Angeles (USA) to begin their training sessions . Four players stayed
back in Madrid that indicate the Coach Jose Mourinho does not count with them for 2011-2012; Pedro
Leon, Sergio Canales (also with U-20 Spain duties), Drenthe & Lass Diarra.
Este tipo de historias son las que me gustaria enseñar a todos los que odian,hablan mal o no
entienden el futbol. Esta es una historia de la vida real y no esta sacada de alguna rosa, es
motivadora e inspiracional, el poder del deporte, los sueños y las verdaderas ganas de hacer las
cosas unidas por un balón.
Samir Nasri could be flogged by Arsenal after an apparent row with manager Arsene Wenger.
Manchester City are willing to pay £22m for the French midfielder, says the Mirror. The redtop
claims he was left "brooding" at home on yesterday as the team flew to Portugal for today's
friendly against Benfica.
Remember back when Greg called that keen four for four during the 2008 Olympics? Well, the NSC
intern just doubled the feat in the Under-20 World Cup round of 16. That's just how we roll, yo...
The word of the round: swagger. Whether it was coming, going, or never showing up, swagger more
than any other intrinsic quality turned the tides of this Under-20 World Cup's Round of 16.
The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) will hold Asia's national team championship, the AFC Asian
Cup 2011, from January 7th to 29th in Qatar. With many well-known European-based players such as
Tim Cahill (Australia and Everton), Shinji Kagawa (Japan and Borussia Dortmund) and Park Ji Sung
(South Korea and Manchester United) participating, the tournament is expected [.
Comienza el año nuevo y se acumula el trabajo. Es época de estudios y toca ponerse las pilas, por
otro lado las ligas paralizadas en navidad vuelven a arrancar. Comienzan el Sudamericano sub-20, la
Copa de Asia, la Copinha sub-18 de Brasil y el Africano sub-17. Si quieres tener vida social el
tiempo se convierte en tu arma más preciada.

We still love Asia:
Paddy,and Eamonn are on the pitch and up for the Asian Cup: Can the Aussies win? Are you happy with
the squad and of course all the A-League news. We review the India game, preview Korea and of
course the rampaging Reds.
How many football poddies only cover Aussie football?
We believe that CONCACAF deserves another full place at the World Cup finals due to the
performances of our teams on the field and the actions of our confederation off it," CONCACAF
President Jack Warner said. "We are unified in our efforts to make this happen
Jack Warner to use his strong lobbying skills
Since they worked so well on having CONCACAF host a World Cup it should work now?
Chung Mong-Joon, the former FIFA Vice-President, today tweeted that his close friend and
AFC President Mohamed Bin-Hammam is to challenge Sepp Blatter for the Presidency of FIFA in
June.
"It seems he will challenge the FIFA presidential election in June," wrote the Korean
who was unseated by a Blatter loyalist Prince Ali Bin Hussein of Jordan at the AFC Congress in Doha
in January.
You may have heard that Ajax, who once trialed Charlie Davies, is coming to play D.C. United on May
22nd. NSC pal Brian Zygo told me that he'd heard they may also come to Houston on the trip. We
shall see...Let's begin with Birmingham's Kevin Phillips, who makes the grade with a no-look

With not much of stateside interest going on with matches today, it seemed like a good time to ruin
your productivity with some tube...Let's kick off with a quick Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah howdy-do.

Vancouver's franchise-opening day derby win?
Must be a joke, right? A true 'viral'? A hoax? A mature, advanced little person masquerading as
a 9 year old Japanese phenomenon.
No way this is real...right?
We've seen a lot of wunderkinds around these parts, but perhaps none with ball control so silky,
so smooth, so composed.
Inter Milan defender Yuto Nagatomo is being linked with a move to Liverpool, according to
Sportingo.
The 24-year-old has seen opportunities at the San Siro limited with Maicon and Cristian Chivu ahead
of him in the pecking ordering.
And with him looking for way out of the club, and Liverpool looking to expand their Asian playing
squad after sponsors Standard Chartered recommended such a move, Nagatomo could be on his way.
Well, it finally happened. After months and months on end of declaring his willingness to take
any job in the world of some stature, including some months of polite "thanks, but no thanks" looks
and shutting doors, Diego has found employment.
And it couldn't be further from the stage he enjoyed at the World Cup this summer (well, I
suppose it could, were he to have taken sabbatical to the Tanzanian second), as it's in Dubai.
The English Premier League's Asian Trophy is a biennial tournament and the only Premier
League-affiliated competition to be held outside England. This is the fifth Asia Trophy, the others
having previously been held in Kuala Lumpur (2003), Bangkok (2005), Hong Kong (2007) and Beijing
(2009). Competing for the Barclays Asia Trophy Hong Kong will be Chelsea, Aston Villa, Blackburn

Many people thought that Pele first goal vs. France in 1958 World Cup was a very easy goal. That is
because Pele did the great things and made them looks very easy lol
now, if you think that was easy, think again after watching these videos, especially the first one
from Venezuela
another from Ecuador
little bit to the North to Mexico
across the ocean to Scotland and Ireland
to another continent, Asia, i am sure you seen it, but we cannot talk about misses without
mentioning Qatar last minute miss, that caused Qatar to be knocked out of the Asian games

Ernesto Parrilla - Revuelo ha causado la revelación del diario inglés The Daily
Telegraph, que ha anunciado la investigación que lleva la FIFA adelante por el partido entre
Nigeria y Argentina, en el que se adicionaron 5 minutos, se jugaron 8 y hubo un gol
argentino merced a un penal que solo vio Ibrahim Chaibou, el árbitro nacido en Niger que dirigió
el cotejo.
This happens from time to time: a nice guy in a world seemingly comprised of those who have
money at the forefront eschews any contract at all in order to help out a club. Joseba Exteberria
did it. Damiano Tommasi did it. Others will do it.
And Takayuki Suzuki is doing it for Mito Hollyhock in the J.
Jordan's Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein has responded to an Australian blogger who quiried whether the
new FIFA Vice-President would represent all of Asia or increase the split between the east and west
of football's largest continental organisation, the Asian Football Confederation. Writing in the
online version of Australia's Four Four Two magazine, Paul Williams observed: "As control of Asian
Jamie Carragher has travelled the world for club and country - but is eagerly looking forward to
his first ever visit to mainland China this summer.
The Liverpool defender will be part of the Reds' squad heading to Asia for a pre-season tour in
July, which kicks off with a game in China on July 13.

There's nothing about this Chinese pitch invasion which isn't absolutely hilarious, from the
stature of the invader himself to the painfully slow yet deft movements required by the referee to
escape "bodily harm". Or the need to place hand on head as the pitch invader as he swings wildly at
the referee's midsection, only hitting crisp, cool air.
