At last, we are back to club action and the return of the WCR Top 25 Clubs in world football. I
know there are lots of people out there who have an affinity for international football but I just
can't get into qualifying for continental tournaments and international friendlies. What I can get
into, of course, is what we are all getting into this weekend.
Another round of European action, another round of predictification. I have to say that we were
pretty proud of our Champions League Round of Sixteen predictions, where we were able to pick seven
out of eight. We told you that APOEL would beat Lyon and that Marseille would beat Inter Milan.
Predicitification is back!! Last week we brought you the first half of our UEFA Champions League
predictions, based on the official WCR Top 25. We also brought you our Round of 32 Europa Cup
predictions, which were still based on our rankings, though a little more loosely. Well, this week,
we're back with the second half of our Champions League predictions, for those matchups that begin
on Tuesday.
How super fantastic and delicious is this week's action? Well, there's no Manchester derby or
Superclasico, unless you count what's going on in Greece and I don't know how to say Superclasico
in Greek. This weekend is so good that Chelsea is hosting Liverpool on Sunday and I'm not even
going to bother to put that match in my list of Top Five Matches of the Weekend.
Philadelphia Union has pulled off a coup and hired Taylor Twellman as the TV broadcaster partner of
main commentator JP Dellacamera this season. Bob Rigby will also be a part of their telecasts.
Great move.
-How did Twellman's only MLS team New England now hire him?
 With the words "... he wants to leave, and I just can't believe it...", Sir Alex Ferguson
probably released the most speculative statement of the year, with Manchester United superstar
Wayne Rooney heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford.
Wayne Rooney, who in August released a statement claiming he wants to end his career in Old
Trafford, suddenly finds himself in the thick of the international press, with manager Sir Alex
Ferguson revealing that England and Manchester United's number 10 wants to leave, and has wanted to
leave since as early as just a few weeks after the World Cup in South Africa.
Now that the pride that accompanied all things German during the World Cup has somewhat calmed
down, and Paul the Octopus has, as some have concluded, jumped ship to the SS ‘predominantly'
Barcelona, and two of the Bundesliga's World Cup stars have engaged in shaking Florentino Perez's
golden hands with their trouser pockets lined with hundred euro bills, German eyes turn from
Spanish shores to their own – the Bundesliga kicks off on Friday evening (with an absolute
screamer).
Wow, it's finally over. It's got to be my all-time favorite World Cup. Of course, it helped that
I got to watch all of it in Madrid, including the finals at Plaza Cibeles with 250,000 screaming,
crying, singing, dancing, cheering Spaniards as Spain took home the cup. But enough about me.
The battle for the Fantasy World Cup Club Championship came down to the final minutes.
Just before the World Cup started, we posted RPI rankings of all of the clubs in the tournament,
as well as many others. Not many of the rankings panned out, but the top three were: 1. Brazil, 2.
Spain, and 3. Netherlands. So, we're not shocked that the two best clubs in Europe are facing off
in the championship match.
Another round of the World Cup completed, another butt-kicking laid out by Germany and another
move up the rankings for Bayern Munich. Okay, not a real "move-up" since it already was number one
in the Fantasy World Cup Club rankings, but it solidified that ranking by picking up more points
than any other club this week, 31.
Liverpool have contacted Girondins Bordeaux left-back Benoit Tremoulinas with a view to bringing
the Frenchman to Anfield in the January transfer window, according to French sources.
Tremoulinas, a product of Bordeaux's youth system, is a very combative full-back, with good
technique, speed and vision.
Today, Futebol Finance released their list of top 25 clubs with the most fans of Facebook. The
results aren't too surprising, with the top 25 dominated by the usual suspects of European and
South American clubs. MLS failed to crack their top 25 with a small footnote that Real Salt Lake
had only 37,000 fans.
To most people, Andrey Arshavin would have registered on their consciousness in the summer of
2008. He was boyish in his looks; his plum cheeks and fluffy hair were never going to hide his
impish charm but it wasn't before long he displayed all his cunning trickery. Suspended for the
first two games of the European Championships with Russia one of which included a 4-0 defeat to
Spain Arshavin made an instant impression.
Warum wird nicht endlich einmal akzeptiert, dass wir uns nicht permanent mit Bayern München vergleichen? Das haben wir in der vergangenen Saison nicht getan, als wir acht Punkte vor dem FC Bayern standen und wir machen es auch jetzt nicht. Wir spielen unsere eigene Saison.
Michael Zorc, Manager von Borussia Dortmund, ist genervt von den ewigen Bayern München vs.
Las jugadoras del Bayern München han hecho historia al ganar hoy su primer Copa de Alemania de
la historia ante un herido FFC Frankfurt. Turbine Postdam, FCR Duisburg y el mismo Frankfurt eran
siempre las ganadoras de la copa.
Bayern inició el partido sin especulaciones e impuso rápido su poderÃo, manteniendo el
control de balón y evitando que Behringer y Barjamaj, las ejes de ataque del Frankfurt, pudieran
generar peligro.
Efsane Goller serisinde Dünya Kupası'ndaki Alman fırtınasına saygımızdan ötürü bir
Eintracht Frankfurt-Bayern Munchen (1975) maçının golü var. Bayern kadrosunda Beckenbauer, Gerd
Müller ve Sepp Maier gibi sadece ülke tarihinin değil dünya futbol tarihinin de en büyük
futbolcularından bir kaçı yer alıyor.
The solutions to the major end-of-season Champions League events are always truly holistic.
First we had Mourinho sending through Art of War strategies to help Chelsea against Barcelona.
Second we had both Barcelona and Bayern Munchen utilising their G14(18) power webs to energise the
excellent refereeing performance from Cuneyt Cakir - Chelsea committed 10 fouls (just two more than
Barca) had 6 bookings, a sending off, a penalty against them and the result that four of the
punished players are banned from the final.
Reports suggesting former Bayern Munchen and German striker Alexander Zickler could be the next big
name to move to the Liga Primer Indonesia. However his coach at Persebaya 1927 Aji Santoso seems to
be in the dark, not knowing his name, where he is or when he's coming. Let's hope Aji does know
that his team are playing Bali Devata this weekend.
Oh stop laughing!
Persebaya are reported to be interested in signing former Bayern Munchen striker Roy Maakay to
spearhead their bid for promotion from the Divisi Utama next season or their Liga Primer Indonesia
debut season.
Apparently the fact that two other foreign signings reportedly backed out of signing for the club
for fear of sanctions from the FA doesn't seem to be an issue.
When the Indonesia Premier League began in 2011 (then known as Liga Premier Indonesia) I wrote, half tongue in cheek, about how Persema were set to become the Manchester United, the Bayern Munchen of the new league. They had the big names, the glamour and the looks.
With coach Timo Scheneuman joined by the fresh faced Irfan Bachdim, Kim Jeffrey Kurniawan and others crowds flocked to their (away games) prompting screaming crowds gathering outside the hotel and hoping to glance their new heroes.
Bolzplatzheld versucht den Fußball aus Sicht von Facebook und Twitter zu beleuchten, deckt investigativ Missstände im Fußball auf und versucht sie zu ändern, wird nach Bundesligaspieltagen im Schlafzimmer des Moderators aufgezeichnet, soll ausschließlich Spaß machen und ist so interaktiv, wie es andere sein wollen.
Despite Pepe Reina's denial of reports that he's looking to leave Liverpool, the Reds have already
lined up a replacement for the Spaniard should he depart, according to German reports.
The 4-4-2 Web site claims Liverpool are looking at VfL Wolfsburg goalkeeper Diego Benaglio.
Bayern Munchen are also said to be interested in the 27-year-old Swiss stopper, who is contracted
to Wolfsburg until the end of the 2012/2013 season and is valued €10M-15M.
Okay, sports fans. I told you that I would be back every now and again throughout the summer and
here I am. It's time for the first update with respect to the 2010 Fantasy World Cup Club
Rankings.
How are the players from your favorite club doing in the World Cup? I'm sure you know the answer
to that since you're following them very closely.
