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!

Si,es epoca de recopilaciones y esta es muy espectacular , aunque la verdad los mejores regates dribles y gambetas son los que hacen terminar el balón besar las redes.
Luis Suarez es el mejor ejemplo de lo que menciono en el párrafo anterior y hay otros que solo lo hacen para lucirse de mas y quedar bien con la tribuna.

Here's another "end of the year" post about where we stand halfway through a very exciting season in the Big 4 leagues of international soccer (Bundesliga, EPL, La Liga, and Serie A).* Below is a set of calculations of offensive production (goals per match) at home (the first graph) and away (the second graph).

Well Kickettes, duty calls...again.

Just as it did the last time we had enough motivation to transform ourselves into thigh lexiconartists. We've been inspired, dear readers.

However. Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Consider this Thursday Thigh-Off one more small step towards weekly repetition.

Do yellow cards help or hurt a team's chances to win a match, or do they perhaps not matter at all? The intuitive answer seems to be that they should hurt - that is, if yellow cards are an indicator of a team's inability to cope with the other side's offensive pressures. This would be consistent with the common complaints you hear from managers that teams foul more when they are on the losing end of a match (remember Arsene Wenger's complaints about Stoke and Blackburn?

I feel I should issue a prior warning that this one comes by way of Goal.com, so anyone who finds their particular strain of blanket, 'see what sticks' football coverage a little rich is advised to get out while they still can.

Anyway, the site are reporting this afternoon that the Bundesliga's joint-top scorer, Freiberg's £10 million-rated Senegalese striker Papiss Demba Cisse, is angling for an 'interesting' January move to Arsenal having already spurned the advances of Fulham in his quest to join one of the Premier League's London-based Champions League contingent.

Bring it on, Arsenal fans said. BRING IT ON. Bring on one of the greatest teams ever to play football. And lo, Arsenal will face Barcelona in the last 16 of this season's Champions League. I hope Gooners are happy now. They got their wish and it will take something of a football miracle for Arsenal to make it through two legs against Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and co.

As a great soccer year is coming to a close, I thought I'd start sharing some of the more interesting soccer-related scientific research I've come across. Among the most fascinating papers I've read in the past 12 months is a really creative study by three political economists (Miguel, Saiegh, and Satyanath) about the connection between civil conflict (political violence) in a player's home country "and his propensity to behave violently on the pitch, as measured by yellow and red cards the player received.

El estadio del equipo donde militaba el ahora americanista Vicente Sanchez y ahora juega el español Raul sufrió un accidente por las fuertes nevadas en Alemania. Ya en la premier league se habia cancelado la jornada por el clima , en el metrodome de Minessota se habia caído casi todo el techo ahora pasa algo similar con el del Schalke 04.

My friends, it was a memorable 2010. In football terms, we've seen Dutch quality in several forms and formats ( Champions League, Italian Serie A, Bundesliga, EPL) and most tellingly in the World Cup.

We also had our share of disappointments but still, being the second of the world and [read more]

We know that a few of you have parked outside our office with machine guns contacted us to politely inquire why we have neglected to cover the birthdays of some elite players recently.

So, to all those fans of Torsten Frings (22nd November), Xabi Alonso (25th November), Jesus Navas (21 on 26th November!

He's said it at the Supporters' Summit and regarding the 2022 World Cup;Don Garber intends for our league to be not just a great league, but one of the best in the world. Is it possible?
Let's be straight with it: Sure, this is possible, but it'll take time. Until we see Garber's plans for this, we can only assume the timetable which we assume the league will follow now: a slow ascent with an eventual breakthrough into the American mainstream.

Lakic Will Spearhead Kaiserslautern's Attack.

You'd think this would be a relegation six-pointer for both of these sides, but Kaiserslautern have looked a notch above a side destined for the 2. Bundesliga this season. Their hosts, however, could be in some trouble without three points here.

Bring on the dancing horses

True, he's a perfectly decent forward with a fair old goal record in the German league to boot but I'm sorry, not never no how has Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko ever been worth €40 million.

It's time for another edition of Calcio Thoughts! You asked the questions, now I answer them. As always great questions that I really enjoyed answering. If you have a calcio question or calcio thought of your own that you would like to see appear in Calcio Thoughts 8 next week, there are many ways you can submit it.

A Poor Excuse For His Side's Disappointing Away Form.

It's just so lame. "We don't win away because other Bundesliga clubs don't take care of their pitches." I mean come on. Many of the Bundesliga's top clubs play a similar kind of attacking football, and they've been able to take points on the road.

The Kult Club Get A Fortunate Win Against Their Relegation Rivals.

It's just disappointing all around really. One goal, and an own-goal, to decide what should have been a game packed with action. Kaiserslautern have been on such high form that anyone would have easily bet money on them smashing a St.

MSV Duisburg played early this weekend and had the chance to take the lead in the second Bundesliga if they managed to win against Eintracht Frankfurt at home. But that was not to be, despite an early goal from no other than the Wolves striker and target man Stefan Maierhofer. I've seen voices on the [.

Mario Gomez: Will He Be The Scourge Of Schalke?

Round fifteen of the Bundesliga kicked off in unspectacular fashion on Friday night with St. Pauli beating Kaiserslautern by one (own-goal) to nil. Hopefully Saturday's games, though, should be full of action. Werder Bremen hosts Wolfsburg, and Bayern Munich travels to Schalke in two of the bigger games of the weekend.

BERLIN, Germany St Pauli's Bundesliga survival campaign was given a boost by a narrow 1-0 win over Kaiserslauten at the Millerntor Stadion. An own goal by Christian Tiffert was enough to seal victory for St Pauli, who put further daylight between them and the relegation zone. The victory sees St Pauli move level on [.

Will Dortmund coach Jürgen Klopp still be smiling at the end of the season?

Borussia Dortmund are already confirmed as Herbstmeister (Autumn Champions) before their weekend game against 1.FC Nürnberg on Sunday. That's because their nearest challengers 1.FSV Mainz 05 lost out in their local derby against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.

Benedikt Howedes Seals Schalke's Win Over Bayern Munich.

While the goals haven't been flowing yet in this round, there have been some surprise results and a lot of great drama. With the league leaders not playing until tomorrow, the pressure was on some of the Bundesliga's title hopefuls to keep the pressure on Dortmund.

BvB Could Go Ten Points Clear With A Win Away To Nurnberg.

Mainz slipped up on Saturday afternoon against Eintracht Frankfurt, which gives Borussia Dortmund the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the table to an enormous ten points. To say they're running away with it wouldn't be far from the truth right now, despite it only being December.

Is it the cold weather? A new shyness breaking our amongst our baller boys? We're not sure, but there was certainly a dearth of nekkidness in the European league fixtures this weekend. This makes our job very difficult indeed.

You will have all recognized the unmistakable Black Yellows ie Borussia Dortmund! Autumn Champions of this year's Bundesliga, 10 points ahead of Mainz and I'm ready to bet will stay ahead and win the German title this year. Even better, the team's players are 22 years old on average.

The Portuguese Winger Will Provide Width To A Potent Benfica Attack.

The Champions League continues this week with the Bundesliga's representatives finishing their groups and either heading into the round of sixteen or out of the competition altogether. Tuesday night features Felix Magath's Schalke, who will travel to Benfica for three more points that will seal their top-of-the-table status; and Thomas Schaaf's struggling Werder Bremen side, who will host last year's Champions League winners Internazionale.

The season has got off to a horrid start for Bayern Munich, sitting seventh on the ladder, a remarkable seventeen points behind league leaders, Borrusia Dortmund. Despite a fair home record, they have been severely let down by their away form – winning only one game outside of Allianz Arena – following a devastating two nil loss to Shalke on the weekend.
