Michel Platini has said he is at last confident Ukraine can host Euro 2012.
After several 'last chance' warnings over the past three years, the UEFA boss can tear a few fewer

"A year ago, we were deciding whether to leave four or two cities," Platini told reporters on a
tour of Kharkiv.
In what has become a habit for Juventus, the Bianconeri dropped two points and settled for a
draw with Catania. Juve could not defend a 2-0 lead over the visitors who have yet to register

Attendance at New England v Toronto game on Wednesday night in Foxborough MA was 6,680! The Revs
now officially have the lamest ownership group in all of MLS. They should be embarrassed to have so

given to them by the Krafts.
It has been a troublesome time for Juventus since the 2006 Calciopoli scandal. Financially, the

Maria del Nido becomes the latest big shot football executive to trade the plush setting of his
office suite for a cold hard jail bed.
