2002 yazının başında tüm okul ahalisi toplanmış Fransa-Senegal maçını izlemiştik. Maçtan önce Henry ve Zidane hayranı, o kupada Fransa'yı destekleyeceğini söyleyen çok arkadaş vardı okulda. Lakin maç başladıktan ve Senegal'in mücadelesini ve karşılık olarak Fransızların kendilerine has kibirlerinin sahaya yansıdığını görünce maçı izleyen güruhun tamamında ibre Senegal'e kaymıştı.

E' proprio vero, a volte la sorte ti volta le spalle. Ma quando anche la giustizia ti abbandona allora la rabbia è più che legittima. Allo stadio Saint Denis di Parigi, c'era il macht di ritorno tra Francia e Irlanda per l'accesso ai mondiali in Sudafrica. Click to continue reading...

Its no news that Liverpool is preforming quite horrid at the moment, sitting in 7th place, 11 points behind Chelsea. With the combination of poor form and the plague of injuries that seem to be following the lads over at Anfield, we can only ask come January who will help aid these wounds.

Hernanes:

This 24 year old Brazilian native is the perfect item to fill the whole left by the exit of Xabi Alonso.

All that talk of righting the ship turned out to be bluster as in the Copa Del Rey return leg against Alcorcon at the Bernabeu, Real was able to muster only one goal through Rafel Van Der Vaart. The yellow jerseys of Alcorcon were everywhere as they stifled Raul, Gago, Van Nistelrooy, Kaka, and Lassana Diarra.

What a great show the tifosi put on last night! Perhaps they couldn't all contain their whistles when Ricky got hold of the ball, but they certainly showed their cuori che sono grandi (big hearts) nevertheless. On the pitch, it's safe to say that Los Blancos played strikingly better than the first leg, even without the sadly missed Greaseano.

Two years ago, in November 2007, this website began. I scoured the continent for young talent and listed eight players who I expected to make huge names for themselves in the football world. I did not list English based players (Walcott, Denilson, etc) who I had my eye on, but only players in the continent. Click to continue reading...

In a Copa Del Rey match, Jerzy Dudek was the goalie under siege as Francisco Borja scored the first goal, a under pressure Alvaro Arbeloa scored an own goal, Ernesto Gomez tapped in a third, and Borja completed Madrid's woebegone display with his second goal and Alcorcon's fourth.

Pellegrini rested Kaka and his place was taken by Guti.

El Real Madrid sigue sin jugar a nada, y no pudo pasar del empate a cero con el Sporting. Si bien es cierto que en su visita a El Molinón llegaba con varias bajas, solo Benzema, Cristiano y Lass son teóricos titulares.

With the Ballon d'Or nominations finally releasing this weekend, the headlines have mostly been devoted to the fact that world champions Italy have no representation whatsoever. But why blame the press for paying excessive attention to an irrelevant detail? After all, the award itself is destined to be heading Lionel Messi's way, which means very little is there to be talked about in terms of debating the winner, right?

The Yank is off to a fairly mediocre start this La Liga season in weekly picks and currently sits at 24-14 on the year. Of course Real Madrid losing a few weeks back likely gave many critics at least one loss and the Yank only missed two games completely and got five correct. So things are beginning to look up this La Liga season.

The ever troubled French national team will be facing the Faroe Islands @ Guingamp, the 2009 winner of the Coupe de France and "birthplace" of the current Chelsea partnership of Didier Drogba and Florent Malouda. The match should be a formality but even with a win against Austria at Stade de France on Wednesday , it will take a miracle to see France finish first of group 7 and qualify directly for the World Cup.

Sevilla pulled out a 2-1 victory against Real Madrid in a win that I knew would have seasons unfolding and they certainly are. Real Madrid suffered its first defeat to fall from the ranks of the unbeaten and Sevilla pulled to 5-1 (and now they now hold the same record as Madrid.)
