Esta noche se inció en España las ronda de la Copa del Rey en la que entraban en liza los equipos que juegan en Europa.
Para los que no lo sepan, el sorteo en España no es "puro" sino que los equipos que disputan competición europea se miden contra los equipos de Segunda B. Es una medida de no "cargar" a los equipos que nos representan más allá de la Liga y de hacer que equipos modestos puedan hacer una gran taquilla. Click to continue reading...

Çok büyük bir ihtimalle Bernabeu'dan fark yiyip döneceğiz ama yine de umut olmadan bu oyunun bir zevki kalmıyor. Shevchenko, Rui Costa, Rijkaard,Donadoni,Gullit, Van Basten... Hiç birinin kalibresinde bir oyuncu yok. Takım olarak ise o takımların çok gerisinde bugün ki takım. Tarih tekerrür etsin istiyorum. Click to continue reading...

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?

A belated Vive le Foot this week since I found myself flying to the land of Ligue 1 overnight...sadly enough I will not be able to attend the PSG -Nancy tie in Paris...but my SF correspondent will be at the Emirates scouting some Frenchies vs. Blackburn...

Raver Ramos is in ecstatic pain, but let's ignore that and examine the possibility of the return of Galacticos 2.0.
