*Despite the presence of watching projected NFL top draft choice Andrew Luck in Carson today, the
Galaxy lost 4-1 to the Portland Timbers at Home Depot Center. Dan Keat had a goal on a bicycle kick
in the losing cause. The Galaxy starting lineup: Saunders; Jordan, Meyer, DeLaGarza, Dunivant;
Franklin,
Though Ronaldinho hasn't been paid in months, a new deal has been reached to ensure he gets what
he's owed, he's still training with Flamengo and still focused on getting results for the club. And
as Flamengo head into the second leg of their Copa Libertadores tie trailing Real Potosi (who share
a ground with Nacional Potosi, of recent scorpion kick fame) 2-1, Ronaldinho was
uncharacteristically serious in training on Tuesday.
The Top 100 Goals of 2011
2012 is flourishing, but it's not too late to look back on the best goals from last year. Messi
is on the list. Ronaldo too. But you already knew that. Some brilliant golazos you might not have
seen are on here too.
Highly recommended hidden gems: Hernán Barcos' exquisite dribbling for
Liga de Quito (#94), Nikica Jelavic's bicycle kick for Rangers (#91), Julio Gómez with another
bicycle in the U-17 World Cup (#87), Pa Modou Kah coming out of nowhere with a thunderbolt of a
strike (#62), Gualberto Mojica's one-two to back of the net strike (#55), Lisandro López's
textbook bicycle kick for Arsenal de Sarandi (#21), and Cleiton Xavier's surreal touch for Metalist
Kharkiv (#10).
Considering the fact that much of the world is going to be focused this coming weekend on the
life of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his accomplishments toward bringing about progress
in the area of civil rights, I believe it is quite fitting to spend at least some time dwelling on
the concept of dreams.
As if Lionel Messi needed any more evidence to prove that he is greatest player in the
world.
Messi captured the Ballon d'Or for the third consecutive year, beating out Cristiano Ronaldo and
Xavi to add yet another item to his trophy case. The 24-year-old Barcelona maestro received
47.
Whipping Stephen Warnock Ep.20 The O'Neill Appeal by Off The Post on Mixcloud Happy New Year one

about push through it.
When rumors of Carlos Ruiz's imminent arrival in Philadelphia surfaced, PSP's Mike Servedio
wrote, "Ruiz is known as a mixed bag, a temperamental striker who has had some big seasons in
terms of goals in the MLS, but is just as well known for his flagrant diving. The Union could
definitely use an experienced goal-scoring striker, with only three out-and-out strikers on the
roster, but with Ruiz' reputation he might have to work to win over the Union faithful (myself
included).

Editor's note: At the end of the 2010 season, we posted a series of season reviews of every
Philadelphia Union player. Over the next several weeks PSP continues with a review of the 2011
season.
It was a disappointing second year for Jack McInerney.

FC Twente may well have lost 2-1 in Krakow last night (to send Fulham packing), surrendering
their unbeaten group stage run in the process, but they definitely scored the goal of the night
through Luuk de Jong's impeccable 39th minute bicycle kick...
Pretty.
The story of Pelé life, in art - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
A sense of nostalgia sets in when thinking of Pelé, arguably the best footballer of all times,
and the one that gave "Futebol bonito" to Brazil and to the rest of the world. Pelé's memorable
moments include the bicycle kick, winning three world cups for Brazil out of their total of five,
and being one of the best ambassadors football could ever want and need.
Mexico's Carlos Vela scored a contender for the goal of the season not just in La Liga but the
whole of Europe. Vela, a former Arsenal player, has failed to impress or hold a place not just with
the Gunners but a couple of other European clubs.
His scoring record is rather unimpressive for an attacker but this stunning overhead goal could
change everything for Vela.

Tough to answer. Many people will be upset to see a Mexican goal against the U.S. in a championship
as goal of the year and possible best goal ever, but it is what it is. It's controversial to say,
but, there is an argument to be made.
Flag FAIL Roma forward Osvaldo smacked a crisp bicycle kick into the net against Lecce last week.
Cop a load of this. While Osvaldo was doing a Rooney, the assistant referee was doing a disservice
to fans of the game everywhere. He flagged for offside and the goal was disallowed. If you pause
the video [.
Emmanuel Adebayor helped himself to a first half brace, but should have had at least a hat-trick
during a game that Tottenham barely had to break a sweat to dominate. In fairness, such was the
gulf in quality, we should consider ourselves fortunate to have left with the score only 2-0.
There were rumours before kick off that Alex McLeish intended to field Alan Hutton as a right
midfielder and Carlos Cuellar behind him at right back to deal with the threat of Gareth Bale and
that's what he did.

The Baltimore Blast bounced back in a big way last night as they defeated the previously unbeaten
Missouri Comets 10-8 in overtime at the Independence Events Center. In a possible championship
series preview, the Blast and Comets treated everyone to a thrilling game that featured end-to-end
action in the first half, a defensive stand off in the second half, and a flurry of action in the
overtime session.

The Rochester Lancers took their motto "Honoring our past, Building the future" to the extreme in
their home opener Saturday, bringing back original team members, unveiling their retro logo on the
field, and even dropping their first home game just as they did 44 years ago.
From the Comets
The Comets once again faced an expansion team making their home debut. Once again, they relished
playing the role of spoiler as they control play from the start and go home with a 13-4 win. Ryan
Junge led the team with 5 points on two goals, Vahid Assadpour chipped in two of his own, Leo
Gibson and newly signed Cristiano each had one as well.
A single goal set up by David Beckham and slammed home by Mike Magee saw the Los Angeles Galaxy
overcome the New York Red Bulls in the first round of the two leg conference semifinals. The
conditions at the stadium were very cold (the East Coast just had their snow storm) but the match
ended up being quite fiery.
Happy Halloween from all of us at A Football Report!
What better indication of the very last glimmer of summer departing is there than kids dressing
up as monsters ready to pillage all your sweets when sunset arrives? Nevertheless, the ambiance of
autumn is in full swing and, thankfully, the football never stops.

My pick for the play of the week is not a goal, it is for Sevilla goal keeper Javi Varas great save
vs. Lionel Messi in the last minute of a 0-0 tie. The save was excellent in technical measures.
But, what made me pick it is the tremendous pressure as it was 0-0 and in Camp Nou .... and it was
against Lionel Messi.
It's like a contest. Try and guess the next banana peel NIGHTMARE APE WAYNE ROONEY, England's
Ambassador to Football and redemptive bicycle kick specialist, will throw into his own path. Will
he get a tattoo of Mike Tyson Chewing Evander Holyfield's Ear on his hairy back? (AHHHHNT: My guess
last time, which was admittedly wrong; instead he hashed opened a leg just to watch it bleed and
thereby abandoned his national side when most they needed him).
The New England Revolution scored goals on either side of halftime to overcome an early Toronto
FC lead, but in fitting fashion gave up a late equalizer to finish the season with a 2-2 draw. The
Revs (5-16-13, 28 points) finish last place in the Eastern Conference, five points behind
eighth-placed Toronto (6-13-15, 33 points), for the first time since 1998 and fail to reach at
least seven wins for the first time in club history.
This week is rich of wonderful bicycle kicks and dribble solo goals. I really enjoyed seeing the
solo ones in specific,
I will start by this wonderful run by Vitor Junior from Brazil
I don't know if I say that this is a wonderful solo, or a wonderful team work, it is an
entertaining piece of music
Neymar definitely is one of the next big things in soccer, especially if he managed to employ his
talent to the team and not just to himself
This is not a goal, but a wonderful run by Archivan
Messi brilliant control of the ball
But, if you have missed it, you must watch what Messi did in the CL game vs.
England number one Joe Hart is staking a claim for a starting game for Manchester City, upfront
no less. Watch this spectacular bicycle kick in training maybe he can use it on YuoTube like his
team-mate Owen Hargreaves did recently.

There are better strikers than Gonzalo Higuain, but there may not be any in better form right
now. On Saturday, Higuain scored his third hat-trick in four matches to lead Real Madrid to a 4-1
victory over Real Betis.
It was the striker's second hat-trick in as many La Liga matches, bringing his goal total to
eight on the season, behind only fellow Argentine Lionel Messi for the league lead.
Not the scoreline we hoped for, but certainly one we feared. Not a great deal to discuss really,
we were soundly beaten by a side who are clearly superior in every single position.
Mario Balotelli opened the scoring by leaping on the opportunity to pull a bicycle kick out of
his toolbox, scoring from six yards.
Brazilian striker Fred sores an outrageous bicycle kick on his way to scoring a
hat-trick in Fluminense's 3-1 win over Cortiba
Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez may not have scored for Mexico on
match day but he was on-fire in training, scoring a spectacular Rooneyesque bicycle-kick, however
it was pointless or was it?
A week rich of wonderful goals with European and World Cup qualifications games, however, most of
videos I am posting today are from small leagues or clubs
Malaga - Getafe 3-2 victory witnessed two wonderful goals. First is the opening goal by by
Getafe
Malaga 0-1 Getafe
by simaotvgolo12Then, at the closing minute, when it was 2-2, the Brazilian Julio Baptista scored a great bicycle
kick winner
Malaga 3-2 Getafe
by simaotvgolo12Then to UAE, and a great goal for Dubai vs.
Very nice animation for Wayne Rooney famous bicycle kick vs. Manchester City
And another wonderful piece of animation for Gareth Bale exceptional performance vs. Inter Milan in
2011 Champion League
After a light regen training on Monday and a day off Tuesday, the Timbers got back to the usual
intensity today in training at Jeld Wen Field.
It was a shorthanded practice, with Diego Chara, James Marcelin, Steve Purdy, Brian Umony and
Futty Danso all with their national teams. The only other player missing was Freddie Braun, but his
absence was not injury related.
This is from Saturday, but it's also a leading candidate for European goal of the season. Watch
as Bayer Leverkusen's Eren Derdiyok settles a long pass, volleys to himself while turning and
connects for a bicycle kick against Wolfsburg.

execute and Eren Derdiyok has put himself into the race for the best goal of the 2011/2012 season
with an absolutely amazing goal [.
I don't often watch the Bundesliga, and I rarely watch Bayer Leverkusen. Yet Eren Derdiyok's
bicycle kick might be enough to turn me around, and make me into a Bundesliga fan.
Bayer Leverkusen were hosting Wolfsburg at home and drawing 1-1 after having taken the lead. In the
65th minute Derdiyok decided he wasn't interested in a draw, and so he performed a stunning bicycle
kick winner.
Eren Derdiyok who is Alexander Frei's heir apparent in the Swiss national team shows off some
awesome skill with this improvised bicycle kick. In a showdown between the two corporation owned
teams, Bayer Leverkusen under Robin Dutta beat VfL Wolfsburg, 3-1. Immediately after, the Wolfsburg
team took loads of aspirin to dull the pain.
Probably the prettiest goal of the weekend took place in Bundesliga on Saturday when Eren
Derdiyok scored the game winner for Leverkusen over Wolfsburg with the beautiful bicycle kick
depicted in the video below. The 23 year old Swiss national's goal proved to be the game winner,
giving Leverkusen a 2-1 lead in the middle of the second half.
No doubt, the goal of the week was Real Madrid great counter attack vs. Ajax scored by Cristiano
Ronaldo, I read some opinions that says it was best ever counter attack in history. Well, I don't
like super-relatives, but I cannot recall a better counter attack from my memory,
Next is something very stunning from Argentina, reminds us of Hugo Sanchez days
Then, to their neighbor rivals, Brasil, another stunning bicycle kick
Today, I was watching a game in Egyptian cup and I was impressed by the quality of football they
got, and mostly from local players.
