Yeah, the summer is supposed to be the boring time when we're subjected to ZOMG Frank Lamps is
goin' to Inter!!!!!...ZOMG he's staying!!!!! headlines. But there is actually some football going
on and though the quality is often below the desired levels, some of the fodder can be absolutely
glorious. Take, for example, today's news that [.
To avoid any possible confusion should anyone be typing in terms to search engines looking for
Argentine national team news today, I'll start by pointing out that this has nothing at all to
do with the Olympic Football Tournament. Argentina's senior side (minus Riquelme and Mascherano of
course) take on Belarus in Minsk at 8pm local [.
12 from 12 for Fabio's boys 1. Wayne Rooney is Samson in reverse. His England goal drought is well
and truly over. Keep that head bald and keep the goals coming, Wazza. 2. Steven Gerrard's
international career is not over. That talk was brought on by a distinct lack of football news this
week, methinks.
With a convincing win today for England against Belarus, Fabio Capello's side will be in pole
position with maximum points to qualify for the 2010 World Cup. Here's how you can watch the game

face that Henry made more than a few times toward the Belarus international after he failed to get
a decent ball to him? Check out...

We're bad. We're worldwide.
We have 50 World Cup qualifiers Saturday, plus a handful Friday and Sunday, as
we welcome Europe to the mix and start the last group stage in Asia. We even have a crucial

Caledonia is.
Ahead of tonight's clash with England, we give you the lowdown on all things Belarus 1. Alexander
Hleb The former Arsenal man was a Gunners favourite (at least until he started shooting his mouth
off about the club and making is very clear that he wanted to leave to join Barcelona. The
midfielder is almost certainly ruled [.
The England national team's fixture list for World Cup 2010 qualifying has just been released, and
I think it sets up pretty nicely for new manager Fabio Capello. The meeting to hash out the exact
details of the schedule took a reported eight hours in Zagreb, Croatia.
It'll be important for the Three Lions to start and end qualifying on a high note and they have a
good chance to do just as they'll visit minnows Andorra to get the ball rolling and host relative
lightweight Belarus to end the campaign.
First Nasri, a deal that is said to be more or less complete, and now another big cash signing,
Arsene clearly means business this summer! ARSENE WENGER is eyeing Alexander Hleb's replacement
— Valencia's David Silva. Hleb is eager to get away from Arsenal with Barcelona the latest
club to make a move for the unsettled Belarus [.
Alexander Hleb is even closer to the former Arsenal midfielder. The Belarus international is in
Barcelona right now for a medical with an official move expected on Thursday. Just look at the joy
on his face knowing that he won't...
Always makes me laugh, no sooner does the Premiership season kick-off, we have a plethera of
midweek International 'Friendlies.'Personally I would prefer the 2nd game of the Premiership season
on a Wednesday night... especially after Chelsea's superb performance against Portsmouth last
Sunday. So for your delight here is a complete list of 'friendlies' taking place throughout the
World this Wednesday evening: England v Czech Republic (8.

With Alexander Hleb looking more and more likely to leave the Emirates Stadium this summer, Arsenal are looking to benefit from any transfer deal as much as possible.
Spanish giants Barcelona are reported to have agreed a deal in principal with the Belarusian himself, with only the fee to be sorted between the Catalans and Arsenal.
Gunner star Alexander Hleb admits he will find it hard to leave Arsenal during the summer, after
denying public badmouthing of manager Arsene Wenger. The Belarus international seems to be headed
to Barcelona, despite rumoured interest from Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Although
he seems to support the idea of changing clubs, the 27-year-old is [.
Well it seems that this transfer is pretty much sewn up, and Wenger is free to spend the cash
wisely as Barcelona land their fifth star of the summer. Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb is on
the verge of completing a move to Barcelona, the Catalan club have confirmed. The 27-year-old

First the games that matter. CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers

Jamaica 1, Canada 1 (Usain Bolt with a goal)
Haiti 2, Suriname 2 (miraculous Haiti comeback, 89', 90')
Costa Rica 1, El Salvador 0 (Saborio goal and red card)
Now some entertaining int'l friendly scores.
Is this really England? Belarus vs England Wayne Rooney 74″ A fantastic dummy run to lose his
man, a superb pass by Steven Gerrard (yes, he of no England future), quick feet by Rooney and a
wonderful finish. Colleen, give that head the once over before every England game, please. The best

Arsenal have today told Barcelona they must pay £5 million and exchange Yaya Toure if they are to have any chance of signing Alexander Hleb. The Gunners midfielder is almost certain to leave the Emirates this summer after admitting he can't settle in London. (Daily Star)

Barcelona were apparently willing to bid £8 million for Hleb, but Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was not willing to let the Belarus international away that cheap.
Barcelona are today closing on the signing of Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb after weeks of
speculation over the players future. Hleb has also been linked with Real Madrid, Inter Milan and
Bayern Munich but it looks more and more likely today that Barca will be the ones to sign him.
Hleb, 27, had admitted that he couldn't settle in London after three years at the club and that led
to intense speculation about the Belarus international's future.
Barcelona are days away from signing Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb. The star from Belarus has
been heavily linked with a move away from London all summer and the deal is set to be wrapped up
soon. Joining him on the way out is Gilberto Silva, who is reportedly leaving for Greek side
Panathinaikos.
Samir Nasri arrived in North London yesterday as the newest member of the Gunners. His arrival will
likely allow Alexander Hleb to leave for Barcelona. The Belarus international has long been linked
with a move away and it's thought that...
While the Premiership's stars are sunning themselves on beaches and messing about with their WAGs,
players in Belarus are getting on with their 2008 season. Amusingly named BATE are the current
masters of the league with 34 points, but this vodka soaked referee is grabbing all the headlines
in the former Soviet state:

highlights and LIVESTREAM here. Pre-register at the NEW football site 11×2 today
It's getting on for 2am and the international friendly between Belarus and Argentina on Wednesday
evening was so 'friendly' that neither side bothered to trouble the opposing goalkeeper unduly, by
all reports. I can't even offer my own opinions on the matter because like the patriotic idiot I
am, I was wasting my evening watching [.
It was all set up. Six points out of six, a crowd of 90,000 passionate and expectant fans and
coming off the back of a fabulous 4-1 win in Croatia. The opponents? Kazakhstan, who have never
qualified for anything and were at Wembley to just play a bit part as England showed the world that

Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb has today moved edged closer to an exit from the club after
admitting he wanted to join Barcelona. The Belarus international has been linked with a move away
from the Emirates for weeks now after admitting he wasn't finding it difficult to live in
London.
Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona have all been linked with Hleb has today admitted he would
definitely fancy a move to the Camp Nou.
Transfer season is kind of boring with not much in the way of action.One can hardly blame a ref
in Belarus if he tried to enliven the monotony by taking a swig or two from a hipflask hidden
between his red and yellow cards.The players only realised something was amiss towards the end of
the game when the ref started doing all his refereeing from the centre circle.
The full draw, made by Henrik Larsson this morning: Germany v France Denmark v Serbia Turkey v

England coach Fabio Capello to recall Gabriel Agbonlahor for Kazakhstan and Belarus
England look set to welcome new faces into the squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against
Kazakhstan and Belarus, despite recording an impressive 4-1 win over group rivals Croatia last
month.
From Telegraph.
The most over rated player in world football After somehow scraping a 5-1 victory over the
impressive Kazakhs, England now travel to Belarus for a tricky away tie. Wednesday's match could be
the real test as to whether the Croatia result was a one-off or the new benchmark for England
performances under Capello.
When scouting players gets personal! If you thought Vinnie Jones' long spell with Wimbledon's Crazy
Gang followed by several appearances as a rough nut Cockney gangster made for a formidable CV,
think again. Belarus coach Bernd Stange counts Saddam Hussein and the East German secret service
among his former employers.
So, four games into the qualification campaign for World Cup 2010 and England sit clear at the top
of their group with twelve points. An unimpressive win over Andorra was followed by a scintillating
performance in Croatia. Then, last Saturday they stumbled to a victory over Kazakhstan that was
less convincing than the 5-1 scoreline [.

around £11.8million. The twenty-seven year old Belarus midfielder completed a successful
medical in Barcelona on Wednesday and went on to describe his move to the Camp Nou as "a
dream". "I love this team," said Hleb.
