On Chris Rolfe's transfer to Denmark

The Fake Sigi Schmid Blog 15 November @ 08:52 PM EST
The news that Chris Rolfe was leaving at the end of the season for Denmark came out a couple months ago, but Jack Bell over at the New York Times had a long article that touched on the topic yesterday:
Rolfe said that Aalborg, known as AaB, attempted to buy him from the league last summer, but M.

A pointless ban: Maradona gets off lightly

Soccerblog 15 November @ 01:22 PM EST

For his potty mouthed outburst following Argentina's win over Uruguay. (translation)

Here is an even more graphic video.

Till three weeks ago, Maradona remained unrepentant.

"I was getting it off my chest, and I don't regret it," Maradona said. "I gave my mother a kiss on the forehead and told her: 'If I was wrong I ask your forgiveness, but nobody else'.

January Transfer Funds Available To Hughton – Nothing

Newcastle united Blog 07 November @ 05:23 AM EST
Chris Hughton doesn't know how much money will be available in the transfer market in Jnauary, but he really doesn't need to. Chris Hughton cheer up Chris we're top of the league! We have a suspicion the amount available for transfers is actually zero, or very close to it. But that may not be all bad [. Click to continue reading...

Francesco Capone, Missouri State Bears

Francesco Capone (Torontor, Ontario)

I took some time to chat with Francesco after the Creighton game Wednesday evening. He's a freshman from Shattuck-St Mary, a high school in Minnesota that has been featured on national TV for their sports programs. Like my conversation with David Buckenheimer, I'm very impressed by the professional attitude these young men are taking about the game and the results. Click to continue reading...

No disrespect to the intelligent, knowledgeable CUAS readership here, but I bet there's hardly any of you who know who Ilunga Mwepu is.

A Look at David Beckham with the LA Galaxy in 2009 – Friday, October 2, 2009

The 90th Minute Soccer Blog 02 October @ 04:21 PM EST

The Los Angeles Galaxy are finally in playoff contention for the first time since signing English star David Beckham. The midfielder joined the team in the middle of the season after finishing his load with Serie A side AC Milan. The question is how has Beckham done with the LA Galaxy since returning and his effect on Major League Soccer.

4. All The Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
John Motson is 64, you know. If you'd ask me, mind, I'd have said that due to his increasingly inconsistent commentary he was nearer 75. We love a bit of Motty, but he's been gradually losing the plot as he has aged, and his increasingly hyperbolic commentary has led me to race into my living room at many a time only for someone to have won a boring corner.

8. "A Match Already Being Described As 'On This Sunday'"
It would be fair to say that Sky Sports are prone to a little bit of over-enthusiasm about their range of live football. Their 'Grand Slam Sunday' was my particular favourite, considering football doesn't have a 'grand slam' and that whoever triumphed in such an event would have to presumably win four matches in different parts of the world at different times of the year.

No-one really blamed Steve McLaren for moving abroad after the wally-brolly failure of England to qualify for Euro 2008. In a path trodden by his one of his predecessors, Bobby Robson, the ex-England boss ran to the relative safety of the Eredivisie after his international experiences to take charge of little known FC Twente.

Coup D'etat; A New King

Pistolas F.C. 10 September @ 06:41 PM EST
MARKHAM - This story probably should've ran two weeks ago, but on the heels of his pending departure and absence over the next two games (yes he'll miss the semi's and the finals), it is only fitting that the club pay tribute to the new King at Pistolas FC: Steve Ward.
Almost as if in a coup d'etat fashion, Steve Ward took advantage of a crippled leader, Charles, and surpassed him for the All-Time Goalscoring Title, notching his 11th career goal in the final game of the season versus Inter Selects. Click to continue reading...

Bellamy stays loyal to Celtic

Dirty Tackle 06 August @ 04:40 PM EST

Though Craig Bellamy only spent the second half of the 2005 season on loan with Celtic from Newcastle, his Old Firm ties are apparently still strong enough that he refused to sign a Rangers fan's shirt ahead of Manchester City friendly with the Scottish champions yesterday.

The lingering animosity is clearly still mutual, though, as Bellamy accused Rangers striker Lee McCulloch of fouling him to get a cheer from the home fans:

"I expected to get stick from the Rangers fans.

Aldo Spinelli has also confirmed since the rumor that it is true and they will try very hard to sign him. Click to continue reading...

Season Winding Down For PDL’s Houston Leones

The Offside - Houston 08 July @ 04:04 PM EST

It has been a while since my last update on the PDL's Houston Leones. They have had several road games in recent weeks and it hasn't gone too well as they were outscored 13-0 in 4 games. After the match this Friday against the Austin Aztex U-23 club, they will finally return home for the final two contests of the season.

Matchday 2 for CONCACAF Gold Cup

Today was matchday 2 for our group. I had the day off while Jair and CJ refereed Jamaica vs Costa Rica. The game went well with one caution and one red card.

USSOCCER: Mikkel Diskerud deciding to play with the US?

MLS Rumors 25 June @ 05:39 PM EST
After unfortunate losses of quality players like Giuseppe Rossi, Neven Subotic, and Edgar Castillo to other countries Jermaine Jones decided he would apply to FIFA to play for the US national team due to few given chances by German head coach Joachim Low.

Everton’s End of Season Review 08/09 - Part 2

Blargins Injury Time 02 June @ 04:00 AM EST

The Band of Brothers

The first part of the season offered little cheer. Apart from the signing of David Moyes to a new 5 year contract, overall, Everton appeared to be in decline. It was only the poor showing from the rest of the league that meant Everton were not already involved in a relegation battle.

Champions League Final? Not likely to be pretty

Attacking 90 27 May @ 03:47 AM EST

Manchester United. Barcelona. Camp Nou.

You're a fan, you know the deal. The two best football teams line up today to go mano-a-mano in the Champions League final after winning their respective leagues. Both teams, the one from Manchester and the one from Barcelona, have unfathomable footballing talent, not the least of which are probably the two best players in the world, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Manchester City Lie Perpetuated

Republik Of Mancunia 09 May @ 05:21 AM EST

"Thank you for your fantastic support! Today's attendance is the season highest!" it was announced over the speakers. The United fans let out an ironic cheer. Who would have thought eh? Manchester City getting their highest attendance when they played Manchester United? The 'only team from Manchester' only able to sell out their ground when United come to visit.

Mid-Day Musings (On the Galaxy, the Red Bulls, Wambach's tackle and Crew Stadium shenanigans)

It is Wednesday afternoon on an extremely slow news day in the soccer world (well, except for that big game in London in a few hours) and I'm trying to come up with topics as I await some interviews here at the New York Red Bulls practice facility.

This post is a bit more blog-ish than the standard SBI news fare, which may become a new trend as we move forward.

Arsenal-Manchester United Reaction

Morning all. Well, it was pretty bloody awful wasn't it? This match is like Chlamydia, it's awful and disgusting and yet it just will not go away. While I'll admit to not being confident heading into yesterday, I was at least hopeful. I thought maybe we could at least get the first goal and give ourselves a chance to prove we could hold them off, but I was wrong. Click to continue reading...
