This mini-serial has a new episode today. The exposition points: Thanks to sources, I can now
definitively confirm that there will be no loan spell for hot USMNT topic Terrence Boyd. Borussia
Dortmund have decided they are amply stocked with strong prospects at that position. They are only
accepting buy offers and he will definitely be leaving the Bundesliga champs this summer.

They say you can prove anything with statistics and the latest statistical boffinry to throw us
a cureveball comes courtesy of statty men and women Infostrada, who have thrown lots of games and
facts and figures into a big magical computing machine, with some interesting results coming out
the other end.
This list is not final, one American still must wait on a result to see if he makes the dance and
the numbers here could rise or fall over the summer transfer window. Effectively, this is an
as-things-stand pre-list just to give you an idea of who will be kickin' it in Europe this coming
fall.Champions LeagueGroup phaseTerrence Boyd - Borussia DortmundJermaine Jones - SchalkeQualified,

Everyone in the media seems certain that the Koln striker Lukas Podolski is going to be Arsenal's
first acquisition of this summer's transfer window, but it being reported today that the Gunners
are also interested in signing the Borussia Dorthund hitman Robert Lewandowski. The Polish
international has had a great season for Dortmund, scoring 20 [.

Barcelona has announced that head coach Pep Guardiola will leave the team at the end of the season
and his assistant Tito Vilanova will take over the team.

When he watches football... he likely doesn't watch Chivas USAWhile we are no fans
of changing team identities unless absolutely necessary (i.e. Sporting Kansas) sometimes you just
have to admit things are stuck in the Roller Hockey era and need a different approach (i.e. Crew,
Revolution, Rapids, Impact) While not lumbered with a 90's Nike-infused identity, Chivas USA were
branded in a way that alienates Los Angeles football fans who have a built-in hatred for The Goats'
parent club Chivas Guadalajara.
By throwing bananas at Bayern Munich's goalkeeper, screaming in Arjen Robben's face after he
missed a vital late penalty and all but sealing the Bundesliga title with a 1-0 win at home,
Borussia Dortmund beat Bayern down on just about all fronts on Thursday. There was just one thing
left to do to complete the day of domination: Have the club's bumblebee mascot pretend to urinate
on Bayern's bus.
STARTERSSo, what is it really like to be the coach of Egypt. Check out this insanity! From Ahram:
-National team's American coach says his recent comments to BBC, in which he held SCAF responsible
for Port Said violence, were taken out of context

Mohsen Saleh who last coached Egypt in 2004 went so far as to say this about Bob Bradley: ".

After years of seeing its national team underperform despite boasting some of the world's best
players and most-expensive coaches, the English Football Association has decided it is time for a
change.
The English FA said Tuesday that it will hire a technical director in the near future, marking
the first time in 10 years that it will do so.

We would never ask you to do something we're not prepared to do ourselves. And while this is an
obvious opportunity for all of us to waffle on about what we would do if presented with not one,
but two, cute boys and a large bucket of peanut butter, it's not compulsory to sign up to our pervy
peculiar brand of eccentricity.
Bayern Munich could witness a mass walk out of its top stars if reports from the Bavarian club
are to be believed. Arjen Robben could leave the club this summer as his relationship with coach
Heynckes seems to be getting worse.
Robben has revealed that he is unsure about signing an extension to his contract that ends in
June 2013 but has maintained that he will not be talking to any other clubs.
La capolista Borussia Dortmund passa a Berlino contro l'Hertha con uno striminzito 1-0 nella 22/a
giornata della Bundesliga: nonostante la notevole differenza in classifica, gli uomini di Klopp
faticano a concretizzare e passano in vantaggio solo al 66' con un gol del centrocampista
Grosskreutz, eroe della serata.
La Bundesliga alemana es de las mas infravaloradas del mundo, simplemente juegan de manera
competitiva y a veces muy espectacular.
todos creen que es una liga muy fria, si, a lo mejor el clima lo puede ser, pero a veces se
necesita cierta dosis de talento para poder calentar el césped e incendiar las redes de la
portería.
Dortmund have the right backups for a successful title defense. Dortmund had
already benefitted from Robert Lewandowski's and Felipe Santana's breakthrough performances in the
absence of Lucas Barrios and Neven Subotic in the Hinrunde. Now, they benefit from Shinji Kagawa's
and Kuba's excellent form, in the absence of Mario Götze.
La Liga standing as of Feb 13, 2012 (From the Guardian)
Cast your eye at the number of goals scored by each club in the fourth column from the right. At
this point is there any wonder why this is not even a two horse race anymore? The race for La Liga
is effectively over as even Pep Guardiola has all but conceded defeat, for the rest it ended in
September last year.

While staring at this photo of two Borussia Dortmund boys and their WAGs at a post-fashion show
party in honour of sweets and other high carb/high sugar delights, we were struck by one undeniable
truth: shop assistants lie. Oh, how they lie.
They lie to the innocent and cash-rich when they tell them, "Why yes, Mr Kehl, Palm Beach suits
are going to be huuuge this Spring.
We've semi-regularly tried to post a Friday "What to Watch this Weekend" (WtWtW) viewing guide.
Starting today, we'll aim to bookend that with a companion "What We Watched this Weekend" (WWWtW)
summary pulled primarily from weekend email chatter among the CultFootball crew, maybe spiced up
with some video highlights.

If Tyler Polak finds himself in the starting line-up on opening day at San Jose, the 19-year-old
should hardly be caught wide-eyed. The New England Revolution's second round draft pick has already
faced Major League Soccer competition in a meaningful match and trained with several professional
clubs.
Well it's happened again. Not even a full season back in top flight football and the "old dame"
Hertha has been embroiled in a soap opera of daytime TV proportions, where nobody ends up looking
good. Manager Markus Babbel and Sport Director Michael Preetz were entangled in a war of words
where one was trying to paint the other as a liar and claiming who did or did not say what,
when.
Everyone is doing it, so I thought we would too. Here is the OTWT starting 11 for 2011
- Goalkeeper: Joe Hart, Manchester City
- Left Back: Ashley Cole, Chelsea
- Center back: Vincent Kompany, Manchester City
- Center back: Nemanja Vidic, Manchester United
- Right Back: Gregory van der Wiel, Ajax
- Left side: Eden Hazard, Lille
- Central Midfielder: Javier Mascherano, Barcelona
- Central Midfielder: Xavi, Barcelona
- Right side:Mario Goetze, Borussia Dortmund
- Striker: Ronaldo, Real Madrid
- Striker: Lionel Messi, Barcelona
I know everyone does not agree with my starting 11, so let the trashing begin.
Bayern Munich are Autumn Champions. Barring a highly unlikely flurry of goals
for and against the right teams. More than the virtual trophy, Bayern will cherish the three-point
gap, they opened up at the top of the table, taking maximum advantage of the slip ups of both
Borussias.
The In The Stands goal of the week comes from Marseille winger Mathieu Valbuena after his screamer

bag an unlikely 3-2 win with Mathieu Valbuena grabbing the headlines after his injury-time belter,
thus earning himself the moniker 'Mr [.

The compendium of horrors first by Lukasz Fabianski and then Vito Mannone, his replacement

leg against Arsenal. Unfortunately it was not enough for Greek club as Marseilles came back against
Borussia to defeat them 3-2 to secure second spot.

Seconda sconfitta consecutiva in Bundesliga per il Bayern Monaco che, dopo il ko casalingo con il

DerbysiegerBorussia Dormund 2-0 Schalke 04 (26:11:11)Yesterday, Nick Coppack went to see surprise package, Borussia
Mönchengladbach beat their near neighbours FC Köln to storm to the top of the Bundesliga (click
HERE for those photos). What could possibly beat that? How about being in a crowd of over 80,000, a
day later, at one of the biggest matches in world football, BVB v Schalke 04.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger reserved special praise for midfielder Alex Song, who showed
tremendous dribbling ability to beat two Borussia Dortmund defenders en route to setting up Robin
van Persie's opening goal in Arsenal's massive 2-1 win.
The German champions took an impressive start at the Emirates in front of a strong traveling
support of seven thousand but after losing key midfielders Sven Bender and Mario Gotze in rapid
succession to first-half injuries, they looked exposed in the second half.
Wherever Arsenal finish in each competition this season, one thing that is almost certain is the
continuation of the attention paid to Robin Van Persie as supposedly the Gunners' main source of
success. Despite the Dutchman's colleagues performing equally as well in their own right, the solid
displays of other squad members are sometimes overlooked.
Nick learned tonight: If you come in the snack room during the evening hours, you may get
blogged about.Royal-Dominique Fennell plays for Stuttgarter Kickers in the German Regionalliga Süd - the fourth
division. It's actually the club where current MNT head coach Jurgen Klinsmann got his start.
Il Bayern oltre ad essere forte, in questa giornata si è confermato battagliero ed ostico. Nella
tana di Augsburg va a vincere e a custodire il successo con fermezza. Ecco il piglio dei campioni,
forti e determinati. Reti di Gomez e Ribery ma grande prova di tutta la squadra bavarese. In
seconda piazza si rivede [.
I am far from the best person to write a scouting report on Olympique de Marseille, but no one

Result: 0-0
Standings after this 4th match

The UEFA Champions League resumes tomorrow night as the fourth matchday of the group stage gets
underway, and there are several teams that could clinch a place in the round of 16 if results go
their way this week. It should be no surprise that the top three teams in Champions League
statistics in regards to goals scored are all in that bunch, in Barcelona (9), Real Madrid (8), and
Chelsea (8).

Our first trip to France since 2002 when we beat Auxerre 1-0. A similar scoreline tonight would
see Arsenal in the box seat in the group.
Marseilles are in the same type of form as Arsenal, lying 15th in Ligue 1 and struggling to get
back in touch with their last season's form. Their win over Borussia shows just what they can do
when playing well – our esteemed manager stating he was "surprised and impressed.
Yeah, that strange, high pitched keening noise you can hear, Mikey, is the sound of several
thousand Kickette soldier boys and girls politely requesting that you remove your base layers.

Champions League action resumes tonight with some very interesting match ups on card. However,
the match that has many people talking is the Bayern Munich v Manchester City fixture.
Both clubs are having a fantastic start to the season in their respective leagues and tonight's
match could stamp the arrival of the blues on the European front.
