Do you remember social media at World Cup 2006? We had YouTube, sure, but the videos were a bit blocky. Twitter didn't properly launch until July 2006 and Facebook wasn't opened to the general public until that September. So basically social media just missed World Cup 2006.

Australian Josh Maguire is in limbo land. Unwanted by Persebaya he had hoped to move to PSPS on a loan deal till the end of the season. But there was an outstanding fine that hadn't been paid, which I guess is why it was outstanding, and PSPS were not in a position to pay it.
I understand Persebaya are refusing to pay it.

You may remember the UEFA Cup (yes, UEFA Cup) semifinal in which Zenit St. Petersburg, then a relative unknown on the European landscape, beat the pride out of Bayern Munich 4-0. You may also remember the (fairly ludicrous) allegations that Bayern punted the game at the 'request' of the Russian mafia.

Eufa president Michel Platini has arrogantly snubbed the use of modern technology in football suggesting that it widespread implementation could result in what he called "Playstation football".
