Yet another big win against our northern rivals, this time with a scoreline of 3-1.

Videos below:

It was a fairly confident win against PAOK this time with goals coming from Djebbour, Blanco, and Scocco. There were some questionable calls from the ref (including a red for PAOK, which I agree with but could have been avoided by PAOK) and some calls not made (including a hand ball from Kafes which wasn't called).

45 minutes in and we're leading this one 1-0! Blanco scored a penalty (certainly the correct call) to put us up and we now are in a great position and the win is definately possible.

Conditions are terrible in Minsk. It is extremely cold (near zero degrees celcius) and the pitch is extremely wet.

Winter is coming up so i practice ball control and getting my feet faster in my garage with only a certain amount of space. I do lots of triangles and i switch them with my right and left. Any other drills i can do? by myself that does not require too much room? k [...]

West Ham have eased their striking problems with the signing of Livorno forward Alessandro Diamanti. The 26-year-old, who joins the Upton Park club for an undisclosed fee, has signed a five-year contract with the Hammers...
Mattia Fontana of Eurosport's Italian website gives us the lowdown on the new Hammer:
Diamanti is an incredibly talented forward, a 'number ten' if you like.

ball control, speed, a lot of endurance (the average midfielder runs about nine miles in a game), a good foot, team skills, and a lot of background in the sport... and as cliche as it sounds.. practice makes perfect

First off, enjoy the video.

Well I posted my review in the comments section of the previous post by AEKBaltimore, but here it is again.

I was nervous about this one before it started but still I had the feeling we would get the win. And we did.

Firstly, as for the game, the team played wonderful football, especially compared to what we were seeing just last week.

The Hand of Frog gets Photoshopped out Shaving brand Gillette has tweaked its advert to avoid any suggestion that they helped Thierry Henry towards his infamous handball against the Republic of Ireland. In the advert, Henry was featured honing his ball control with the offending hand. But in the new advert, Henry is shown minus [.

This match proved one thing: This is the worst AEK we have ever seen.

The match started terribly, with plenty of chances for Panionios to score until the 21st, when they did manage to get their first goal. Riera and Estoyianoff absolute tore AEK up this evening. Estoyianoff was able to get past our defence with ease while Riera missed some dangerously close chances.

The Sounders got pounded 4-0 in front of 66,848 fans, a record for a football match in Seattle. Messi scored two delectable goals. The first a beautiful curling shot which beat Keller. A nice bit of ball control led to a second goal after Xavi set him up with a beauty of a pass. Jeffren Suarez added a third and Pedro Rodriguez completed the rout.

The Spanish U-21 National Team managed a hard earned & important1-0 victory over a very defensive Finland side in their Groupclassification match. The Finns played a hard game which madeSpain's ball control strategy & game difficult in finding the endobjective which only came in the 72nd minute when MICHELscored the winner.

I'm sure everyone is familiar with the school yard game of kickball. Kickball is played just like baseball but with a soccer ball. My version of kickball is slightly different from the standard way kickball is played. My version incorporates a lot of ball control.

This is the first in a series of posts about throw-ins. The importance of the 'check-in' is shared first. There are many advantages for a player to check-in including greater ball retention and possession by the player and team.
