Something very serious is going on within the ranks of the mucho-winning, always entertaining
Spanish National team. There would appear to be an epidemic of bad hair choices occurring.

A little bit more news about Newcastle full-back target Chris Gunter, who we reported as being a
Target of Alan Shearer yesterday. Chris Gunter - a Newcastle target? Gunter, who will earn his 16th
cap against Azerbaijan tomorrow, is also increasingly concerned about where he will be playing
football next season.
Kieran Gibbs bagged a brace as England Under-21's romped to a 7-0 win over Azerbaijan at Stadium
MK. Chelsea youngster Michael Mancienne put England ahead after just 48 seconds, turning home the
rebound after a header from James Tomkins, making his Under-21 debut, hit the post. The lead was
doubled on 26 minutes, courtesy of [.
Setanta US has announced their schedule for the next few months of World Cup qualifying games
it'll be showing on its networks for both Setanta US, Setanta Premium (the pub channel) and
pay-per-view.
No major surprises. As usual, the England away match (this time, against Ukraine on October
10th) will only be available on Setanta Premium.
This is not a joke. England are all but qualified and can book their trip to South Africa with a
win over Croatia Wednesday. Northern Ireland can win their group with victories in their last two
games and a little help. Their neighbors to the south, the Republic of Ireland, have an outside
shot of winning their group but should at least finish second.
Andrey Arshavin capped off a good week for his country with a goal against Azerbaijan. The Russian
playmaker bagged an early goal after 'keeper Agahev failed to hold Alan Dzagoyev's low shot from
just inside the box. Russia had already clinched second place in Group 4 behind Germany, and will
enter the playoffs for a spot in [.
The medical team of the Spanish Football Federation have released the unfortunate news that Andres
Iniesta's injury condition has worsened.
He tore the muscle in his right thigh in Barca's Liga match against Villareal, and remained
sidelined after that until he participated in the Champions League final, where he did the most
amazing job.

Stuart Pearce defends 'disrespectful' move England under 21s deployed goalkeeper Joe Lewis as an
emergency substitute striker as they coasted to a 7-0 friendly win over Azerbaijan. The
Peterborough keeper experienced life on a football pitch without the aid of gloves as he came on as
a 75th minute replacement for Wigan's Lee Cattermole.
For those who don't enjoy the sight of a helpless body unconscious on the ground, please avert your
eyes and move along. The big story here was that of Felipe Felix, who was kicked well into
obliviousness during yesterday's Champions League match between Levski Sofia of Bulgaria and
Azerbaijan's Baku.
Goals from Bastian Schweinsteiger and Miroslav Klose were enough to keep Germany on top of their
World Cup qualifying group. Azerbaijan had an early opportunity to go in front but could not finish
after beating an offside trap. FC Bayern winger Bastian Schweinsteiger took command of the game in
the 12th minute by launching a screamer [.
Excellently, the conclusion to the European World Cup 2010 Qualifiers are a mathematical diversion
of some consequence.
And all because of one little FIFA rule - that only eight of the nine second placed nations will
move forward for the Play-Off head-to-heads in November.
So all your column inches of projection and requirement are mindless chatter as a thoroughly
systems thinking approach with a dose of specified game theory is the only way to strategically
analyse or plan ahead.
Hello to all Russia fans. Yesterday (Sept 9) Russia defeated Wales 3-1 in Cardiff to earn a playoff
spot and eliminate the home team. Germany's 4-0 defeat of Azerbaijan effectively eliminated the
visitors as well as Finland and Liechtenstein. This means that Group 4 in the UEFA zone of the
Wins against South Africa and Azerbaijan were expected this past international week. What wasn't
were the positive signals that Germany is gaining momentum ahead of the World Cup. Still there are
persisting questions regarding the Nationalmannschaft ahead of the crucial game in Moscow against
Russia.
This is tricky because there are so many fixtures you'd think would be boring to watch until you
consider one or two auxiliary factors.
Let's take for example Liechtenstein v. Azerbaijan. Who's gonna watch this hopeless run around?
Well, let's say someone told you this was the only game you would ever be allowed to watch again
for the rest of your life.
All too familiar images. This time it's Russian fans in Azerbaijan.
Hello all Russia fans. Sorry about not getting back to you sooner with a post. I will sum up the
recent events and share my views and opinions in one entry. As all of you know Russia lost to
Germany in Moscow and then drew with Azerbaijan in Baku to
Wales have had a large number of call offs ahead of their World Cup qualifier with Azerbaijan which
is a huge blow especially when they had a very young team already, but Chris Gunter has said the
team will not be looking for excuses for the match on Saturday. "People may ...
England will face Kazakhstan and Wales play Azerbaijan in 2010 World Cup Qualifying this
weekend.These matches are part of the European qualification groups. So, there's just one, itsy
bitsy minor problem. Both of these countries are actually in Asia. The CIA website , no less, will
tell you that Azerbaijan is in Southwestern Asia and even provides you with a helpful map so you
can see that it is
Here at World Club Rankings, as those of you who follow regularly are aware, we aren't too
concerned with the international competitions. We don't have anything against them, we just like to
focus on what we know best, which is club football. When the club football ends, though, what do we
do to fill the days?
The Spanish National Football Team continues unbeaten sinceNovember of 2006 notching up today its
32nd consecutive victoryaway to AZERBAIJAN 0-6. The only team ahead of SPAIN with themost
consecutive victories is Brazil who managed to string 34straight wins back in 1997.Today's

Sure Azerbaijan may be ranked 140th in the world, but does it really get more emphatic than 6-0?
Clearly it was boys vs. men as David Villa led La Furia Roja to yet another victory in front of
some 25,000 spectators in Baku. Three goals by David Villa, and one
Stakes are high on Wednesday night as Finland and Russia take on the pitch at Helsinki's Olympic
Stadium for their World Cup 2010 qualifier. With Germany having the upper hand in group 4 and
Wales, Azerbaijan and Liechenstein pretty much out of contention, the stage is set for Finland and
Russia to seal the fate of the second spot that would mean a place in the play-offs for whichever
side claims it.
The Spanish giants apparently didn't empty the coffers in the Kaka deal. Some Spanish paper is
reporting that Valencia stud and Spain superstar forward David Villa (right) has agreed to a
contract now.
That would be quite a get, he did have a hat trick in the first half of an internationally
friendly with Azerbaijan the other day.

welcoming Azerbaijan for a World Cup qualifier in Hannover on September 8TH. In the meantime there
have been rumblings from Michael Ballack about a need for improvement by the nation team in order
to seal automatic
Why am I writing a post about Octoberfest in early September? Because I love Octoberfest, but I
hate it's name. Its moniker inherently limits the celebration to only 31 days. I think it
should be known as Everydayfest or at least Fallfest. But Octoberfest it is, and it's a great
month.
Easy win for the Germans over weak opposition who only had ten men for half the match.
1-0 Ballack
The European qualifying phase for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa comes to a close over
the next week with six group winners and the identities of several play-off contenders still to be
decided.
Spain and England will approach their final two fixtures safe in the knowledge that their place
in next summer's finals is secure, as is the Netherlands' after they completed their campaign last
month, several of the continent's leading nations still have work to do.

episode of RNF's podcast.
At Russian Football Now, we have been looking forward to this match since our inception. The
seventh episode of the podcast celebrates the wait coming to an end.
Welcome back, football fans. For the moment, I'm temporarily suspending my feud with ESPN. (I
call it a feud even though I believe that in order for it to actually be a feud, ESPN would have to
start arguing with me or, at least, recognize that I exist.) It does appear that ESPN has posted
it's schedule for the weekend with days to spare for a change, for what it's worth given the few
games being broadcast, so those matches are included below.
Arsenal's Andrei Arshavin was on hand to nip in and tap the ball home as Russia took on
