Andrey Arshavin has been on loan at Zenit St Petersberg for the last six months, but after his
performances at the Euros (and his post-tournament comments) looked like he had blown any chance of
returning to his boyhood club, especially when Zenit's owner Valery Golubev declared: "How can a
citizen of Russia treat the honour [.
David Beckham's decision to attend the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton last
month was controversial, but at least defensible. He was an invitee of the Royal Family, which is a
huge honor, and Beckham is among other things a deeply loyal citizen to his country. Personally, I
felt he should have declined so as not to put the Galaxy in a difficult situation, but I can
understand his desire to attend the wedding.
Via a couple of tweets, first by Joshua Mayers of the Seattle Times and then confirmed by Matt
Gaschk from the front office, we learn that Osvaldo Alonso has gained his United States
citizenship. This really doesn't have a Sounders roster impact, since he's had a green card for a
number of years now and hasn't taken up an international slot, but given that he's a Cuban refugee
I'm sure it's a special achievement for him personally.

A disappointing evening for SLeague champions Tampines Rovers as they bowed out of the AFC Cup at
the Jalan Besar Stadium, drawing 0-0 with Hong Kong side Kitchee.With one game remaining, away to
Vietnamese side Song Lam Nghe An, Tampines have just five points from their five group games and a

A mixed evening's work for teams from the region with perhaps pride of place going to Terengganu
who snatched a confidence building win in Vietnam while Chonburi also earned a good result albeit
through an injury time equaliser but they all count eh?
This is probably the best goal of the century, scored by Sun Hei's Festus Biase during his sides

scorpion kick since Colombian keeper Rene Hiquita's Scorpion kick v England many moons ago.
Nigerian defender Festus Baise scored a scorpion kick and perhaps the greatest ever own goal during
Sun Hei SC's 3-2 defeat to Citizen AA in the Hong Kong first division. Is this the finest ever goal
you will see? That is, the finest ever OWN goal you will see? Poor Festus Baise. The nippy
Nigerian's [.
This outrageous scorpion kick own goal comes from Hong Kong. Sun Hei's Nigerian defender Festus
Baise attempts to deal with a ball into the box from opponents Citizen AA. It doesn't look like the
most threatening cross in the world, but that's before Baise makes his intervention. With the ball
cut back behind him, the [.
Forgive the hyperbole, but Sun Hei defender Festus Baise scored !!!THE GREATEST FUDGING OWN GOAL
OF ALL FUDGING TIME!!! against Citizen AA in the Hong Kong Premier League this weekend.

22.01.2012 - Para la punta de los Citizen en la Premier League, Mario Balotelli hizo
(en la hora ´95) el gol del triunfo del Manchester City sobre el Tottenham Hotspur (3-2). Pero
antes (al estilo Pepe) hizo esto en la cabeza de Scott Parker.. caligula
Mario Balotelli is knuckling down to life in the Premier League. How else can you explain two
accomplished performances in his two latest outings? Scoring goals has always been easy for the
Italian, his attitude has always been questioned. This season, however, he has let his boots do the
talking.
23.07.2011 - El Manchester City FC tiene el contrato más caro a nivel clubes de la
marca Umbro (subsidiaria de Nike) y eso implica lanzamientos desiguales para los muchachos de
marketing.
A la costumbre de relanzar una camiseta por temporada (anual) para el sólo hecho de ser consumida
como novedad deberá aplicársele imaginación y dinero para llamar la atención del público.
It's so bold, audacious by nature for a campaign slogan. Why should the public be surprised by
President Obama's slogan? He wrote a book called The Audacity of Hope.
In so many instances, the word 'bet' has negative connotations. It's part addiction and part
low-life.

He's already tried (and sadly failed) to bring about the demise of Western Capitalism by
imploring people to protest the global financial crisis and boycott the banking sector by keeping
all their money in biscuit tins under the bed, but now Eric Cantona has his hirsute,
charismatically dishevelled sights set on total political reform in his native land announcing his
decision to officially run for the French Presidency.
"What the hell do I do with that thing?!"The Dan Gargan mystery was put to rest this

official announcement.
