"Hace un par de semanas de separación mutuamente acordada.

One of the things about the World Cup is that it puts the sport into perspective. With 64 games in one month, it's easy to get a cross-section of where a country is. How well it's doing relative to the other teams in the tournament. What the level of officiating is. And what improvements are necessary.

You're looking at a leaked design sheet for Bayern Munich's new Adidas kits for next season. Two words: tiny socks.

The home kit sees a switch to red-and-white vertical stripes their home kit this season features an all-red shirt whilst the away kit sees another change of colour scheme (I've lost count of the different away kits sported by Bayern), with horizontal white-and-sky blue stripes.

The 2010 World Cup is heading into the knockout stages, and just as the action in South Africa is getting ready to really heat up, so are things on the transfer front.

Manchester United had a relatively quiet summer last year, but it doesn't look like that will be the case this summer, as United look set to strengthen their squad in multiple areas.

I was seriously geeked for that Red Bulls-Royals game. And now...I mean, is it me? Am I just not able to appreciate a tense game where not a heck of a lot happens? I just saw a lot of fouling and a lot of diving, many times on the same play. If that's an MLS Cup preview - and it very easily could be - Toronto's in for a terrible disappointment.

Inopportune moment caught on film via Getty Images.

Well, this certainly has us scratching our heads.

Sarah Brandner, longtime girlfriend of Bastian Schweinsteiger and recent body paint model, was seen drunk cuddling/harassing his Bayern Munich teammate Holger Badstuber at their club's Champions League banquet.

After all the hype and speculation surrounding a major transfer for Michael Bradley in the aftermath of the World Cup, the 23-year-old New Jersey native stayed put at Borussia Monchengladbach, and the Bundesliga club couldn't be happier to have him.

There is the ol' La Liga vs Premier League debate that has been going for a couple of years now, but no one ever mentions Serie A in Italy which used to surprise me. Well according to UEFA's coefficients the Serie A has slipped and another league is now considered 3rd best in Europe..

Awwwww, Major League Soccer. If anyone should be an MLS fan it should be me. I grew up playing the sport; I love watching the sport; I've covered the sport at the high school, college and professional level; I have a blog called IntelligentSoccer.com. If the MLS can't win me over there's something seriously wrong.

Here's the round-up...

Rumour No. 1: Despite only being in the job for less than a morning, newly-appointed Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is already drawing up plans to spend the £15 million transfer budget he has been handed.

He skipped out on MLS to head to Europe, is not even USMNT-eligible yet, and plays in a league with none of the cache of the Prem or Bundesliga; but Yura Movisisyan is a player US fans should keep a vigilant eye on as the next cycle of international soccer begins.
Yura scores goals, and is doing so with regularity at Randers in Denmark.

I'm a big fan of Sampdoria's kit in general, but I think Kappa have done a great job with it this year.

At last, we present the cut-out-and-keep GIF of European football's best moment so far this season. In glorious slow-motion too it's hypnotic stuff.

Lionel Messi had the weekend off, putting in a relatively quiet shift, but Gonzalo Higuaín scored again as Real Madrid kept up the pace in La Liga. Elsewhere two Argentines got their hands on the French League Cup, Martín Demichelis donned a face mask to return to action for Bayern München (he'll be using it [.

Sergio Aguero is one of the many high-profile transfer prospects on the market this summer

The World Cup will dominate the world's football focus this summer but that doesn't mean the usual wheeling and dealing of the transfer market won't be in full force. Last summer saw the high profile departure of Christiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid and Emmanuel Adebayor trading in the red of Arsenal for the blue of Manchester City.

U.S. national team defender Jay DeMerit (Green Bay/Bay Port) could go in any number of directions with his club career.

The 30-year-old is out of contract, having amicably parted ways with English club Watford after six seasons with the London-area team, mainly spent in the second-division Coca-Cola Championship.

By Clemente Lisi - NEW YORK, NY (Mar 4, 2010) US Soccer Players -- Thomas Dooley became a US player almost by accident. After years of playing in the Bundesliga, and failing to get the call-up to represent Germany, Dooley finally got a chance to play for the United States in 1991. Just as US Soccer began scouring the world looking for eligible players to don the American jersey ahead of the 1994 World Cup,.

Like a gambler in a casino, Sir Alex Ferguson went through a full range of emotions as he watched his side crash out of the Champions League last night.

There was the initial euphoria of seeing his bets pay off as two surprise starters, Wayne Rooney and Darron Gibson, were key to Manchester United storming to a three-goal lead against Bayern Munich.

If you haven't seen Mesut Özil (Werder Bremen), Benedikt Höwedes, Manuel Neuer (both Schalke 04)and Mats Hummels (Dortmund) playing cowboys with their Nutella spread, then you're truly missing out.

Nutella is the stuff study abroad dreams are made of as long as you can stave off the inevitable stone and a half in weight gain.

A photograph of Borussia Dortmund's new home shirt for the 2010-11 season has been revealed.

Real Madrid have put pen to paper on a €40 million deal for Benfica winger Angel di Maria, according to radio station TSF.

Former FC Dallas striker Kenny Cooper could be on his way back to Major League Soccer this summer, according to a report in the German publication Bild. With prospects of getting meaningful playing time for 1860 Munich fading, Cooper is allegedly interested in returning to the United States to get his career back on track.

Congratulations to German NT captain (for now, anyway), and Bavaria Munich player Phillip Lahm. He married his girlfriend Claudia today in a two-part ceremony near Munich. Apparently, the tears were flowing during the civil ceremony, but it's not clear whether they were from the bride, groom or Lahmy fangirls across Germany and beyond.

The World Cup is over. The majority of fans had their hopes dashed and their expectations disappointed. Time to shift our focus to a new season of Bundesliga football. One that will invariably dash the hopes and disappoint the expectations of a majority of fans come May 2011. But for now, everything from trophies, relegation, promotion or the birth of a new superstar is still a possibility for every fan of every club.

Be prepared to flinch when you watch the above video from the Women's Bundesliga in Germany. The thrower is Taoba Kemmy of FFC Turbine Potsdam, the woman in the way is Kerstin Garefreke of FFC Frankfurt. Kemmy felt Garefreke was getting in her face while trying to a throw, so she threw the ball straight at hers.

Bastian Schweinsteiger was finding girlfriend Sarah Brandner's attempts to capitalise on Sara Carbonero's success a little wearing. Oh, fine. They're just messing about at the FC Bayern Basketball vs. USC Heidelberg game in Munich. Love her polish.

Soccerlens bring to you: The Cheaters XI which is basically just the England squad of the last five or so years (plus a few peripherals) which, you can't help but feel, may say more about the British tabloid press than it does about the skewed fidelity of our nation's footballing protagonists!

Clint Dempsey is the model American player in Europe right now. Having gone through three managers at Fulham after rejecting any and all overtures to stay in MLS, Deuce is the inverse of Landon Donovan. Now Donovan appears ready to assert himself in a loan spell at Everton.

Rejecting his comfort zone for a challenge that would raise his quality and relevance as a player, Dempsey has become the signature American player for fans of the European game.

An intriguing topic to so many who follow MLS is just how good is this league? I commonly refer to it as between the 15-25 range, but that is a wide range, and highly subjective. Without the Holy Grail of statistics finding a unified number across leagues though can there be an objective study on league strength rather than the classic arguments centered on the top third of a league or its middle third?

For most Europeans, the January transfer window is all tease and no touch. Very few moves of true import happen in January, and that is especially true in a World Cup year, where players would rather see if the tournament can up their stock. However, for American soccer stars, the January transfer window, which occurs during the MLS off-season, is their best chance to find a new home.

Remember back when you were a kid and playing "organized" sports meant you grabbed any pair of shorts out of the closet which were kinda sorta clean the more permanent grass stains, the better? It would appear football is not quite the "child's game" it appears to be on television. Arjen Robben has incurred the [.

Portuguese marketing agency Futebol Finance has published a list of the top 50 footballer's salaries this season and it's pretty obvious who would be top of the list but there are still some interesting results. The wages shown are just for this season. There are a whopping 19 players above Manchester United's Wayne Rooney, something [.

For the US to find success at the FIFA World Cup this summer, Michael Bradley will have to play a large part in it.
Luke Cyphers of ESPN writes of the emerging workhorse in the US midfield.

Unfortunately, "enough" isn't a word Bradley understands. About matters of soccer, he is never satisfied.

The German Bundesliga season kicks off tomorrow, when current champions Bayern Munich host 2008/9 champions Wolfsburg (who will be managed by none other than Steve McClaren). Things are looking pretty rosy for the league, with a mix of big names and exciting young talent, a shiny new logo and now kerching a more lucrative international broadcasting deal.
