17 arrests for a match fixing scandal which affects 200 matches in nine European countries.
The matches include the Bundesliga second division, and the leagues in Belgium, Switzerland,
Croatia, Slovenia, Turkey, Hungary, Bosnia and Austria. 12 Europa matches and 3 CL matches are said
to be manipulated this year, and it is unclear as to whether it is the group stage or qualifying
rounds.

A Parigi, ieri sera, un clamoroso "errore" arbitrale spezza definitivamente il sogno del Trap di
portare l'Eire ai Mondiali e regala, invece, il pass per il Sudafrica ai galletti di Domenech. Ma
la qualficazione della Francia ai Mondiali del prossimo anno è immeritata e, soprattutto, viziata
da un fallo di mano pazzesco di Henry che consente a Gallas di realizzare il prezioso pari (gli
irlandesi erano passati in vantaggio con Robbie Keane).

At 2:45 today the Portuguese National Team (minus Cristiano Ronaldo) will square off against the
Bosnians to defend their 1 goal aggregate advantage over the boys from the shores of the Adriatic.Â
This is an interesting match because everyone on earth expects Portugal to be in the World Cup,
but I think the Bosnians have other ideas.

The agent of Wolfsburg midfielder Zvjezdan Misimovic has yet to hear from Arsenal.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is said to be preparing a bid for Misimovic as he seeks a new midfield

But the agent of the Bosnia international, Florian Goll, told Sport.co.uk: "Neither Arsenal nor any

The arrival of the Selecção at Sarajevo yesterday was met with threats, insult and
spitting.
The stage has been set for anything but an enjoyable soccer match. I genuinely fear for what
might happen to our players and supporters should we (as everyone expects) qualify for the world
cup. Human life is certainly so much more valuable then a qualification to the world-cup.

Portugal arrived in Bosnia to a very hostile reception by Bosnian supporters. The Portuguese
players were insulted, spit on and cursed at while Bosnian police did very little to ward of these
fans upon Portugal's arrival. The team was delayed for over an hour by authorities as they checked
passports and luggage.

Bruno Alves may be Portugal's Man of the Moment, but our sad and forgotten hero
is Greaseano. He returned to training with the Pellegrini Pack yesterday, after
witnessing his national team's narrow 1-0 victory over Bosnia. No one came to ask him if he wanted
M&Ms during half time, so do forgive his bitterness.

Los fines de semana en los que no hay jornada de Liga me parecen menos fin de semana. Cuando la
liga se va poniendo interesante jornada a jornada, haciéndote desear que llegue el próximo

a quien le guste este cohitus interruptus, pero a mÃ, no me gustan nada.

Francia, Portugal, Rusia y Ucrania se colocaron un poco más cerca de la justa
mundalista a celebrarse en Sudáfrica 2010.

Off a defender, off a post, in the net. Mr. Anelka took care of business away for France, making
their trip to South Africa look pretty likely. As Jack posted earlier this week, Nico likes being
the supporting striker, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like to let it rip on occasion.
Also in action today, Deco, Ricardo Carvalho, and Paulo Ferreira all played as Portugal won 1-0
against Bosnia, as Hilario, who won his first callup for Portugal, didn't make the bench.

A goal from Bruno Alves was enough to give Portugal an advantage going into Wednesday's second

Portugal get set for their first leg against Bosnia Saturday as they look to qualify for World Cup
2010. The Portuguese team has a few injuries and the lineup will be a bit different then we have
been accustomed too during this qualify campaign. Ronaldo, Bosingwa and Pedro Mendes are all out.
Carlos Quieroz will look to have the right starting lineup as the host Bosnia at the Estadio da
Luz.

Just when I'm trolling around in search of something to care about, along comes Toronto FC COO and
all around fan favourite Paul Beirne tweeting about how he intends to require TFC Academy entrants
to commit to playing for Canada.
Even Duane Rollins points out the Academy couldn't force a player to play for the national outfit
if it came down to that, so ultimately this is just more fan populism, and it seems they're loving
it.

Portugal will most likely be missing Cristiano Ronaldo when it hosts Bosnia-Herzegovina on
11/14/09 as it looks to build some momentum prior to the return leg in Bosnia on the 18th of
November. Unfortunately for the Portuguese the latest report claims Ronaldo will be out for about a
month which means he will not feature in both matches for the national team.
