Chelsea's succes in overcoming Queens Park Rangers on Saturday apparently brought some
negativity for them as one of their important players, Ramires, was forced to leave the pitch with
what looked to be a knee injury.
This situation is apparently worrying for the Blues' manager, Andre Villas-Boas, who tried to be
optimistic with his Brazilian midfielder's condition, hoping that it won't be a very serious knee
problem for the ex-Benfica man.
After scoring the winner against Leeds a week ago, many Arsenal fans expected their legendary
club icon Thierry Henry to carry on where he left off against Swansea yesterday.
However, a controversial goal in the 16th minute from Scott sinclair brought the home side level
on one goal apiece after Robin Van Persie had netted in the 5th minute.
Everything was set up for another Anfield disappointment. Liverpool had drawn 6 of their 9 home
games so far this season, stumbling against the likes of Sunderland, Blackburn and Swansea, but on
Friday night Liverpool went against their home form and produced a convincing display. Newcastle
took the lead but Liverpool stormed back and equalised a couple of minutes later.
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has asked his players to win in comfortable fashion in
Monday's clash with Tottenham.
Last season the two sides played out a controversial fixture at Old Trafford, with the Red
Devils winning on the back of a strange goal from Nani, where the Portuguese winger simply stole
the ball from Gomes and slotted home.
Klinsmann on the field in PhillyAt 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time tonight, Jurgen Klinsmann led 13 players onto the field for his first
training session as head coach of the U.S. Men's National Team. Despite the hot and muggy
conditions, the session had pace and energy. After an extended warmup that included field players
and goalkeepers, the team went through a passing exercise before breaking into a 5 v.
In 2005 in a match between Tottenham and Manchester United, Spurs midfielder Pedro Mendes hit a
40 yard strike at the Manchester goal. Manchester goalkeeper Roy Carroll fumbled the ball and a

the line.

World player of the year Lionel Messi's goal against Manchester United in the Champions League
final was his 12th in 13 games in that particular competition, and his 53rd in all. In any other
era this would have been a stand-out achievement, but in 2011 it meant merely achieving parity with
Cristiano Ronaldo.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. men's national team will face Panama in the Gold Cup once again.
After playing to a 1-1 draw through 120 minutes, Panama defeated El Salvador, 5-3, on penalty
kicks in a crazy second game of Sunday night's quarterfinals doubleheader at RFK Stadium.
In the recent Premier league match between Chelsea and Tottenham, we were treated to yet another
controversial goal line decision. A shot from Lampard of Chelsea squirmed under the Spurs keeper;
the keeper turned and dived back towards the goal...
Frustrated.
That was the word of the night for both teams that took the pitch at RFK Stadium on Saturday
night. It began with Charlie Davies, who with Bob Bradley as one of the almost 13,000 in
attendance had a chance to show that he was well on his way back to being USMNT fit.
Soccer fans will long remember the Chelsea against Tottenham Hotspur match from April 30, 2011. It
featured a wonderful long-range effort from Sandro, followed by a controversial goal awarded to
Frank Lampard and then a winner from Chelsea which, if...

goal was given by the Linesman.
The New England Revolution lost a tough one to the Houston Dynamo last night 0-1, thanks to a
controversial goal from Hunter Freeman. The defeat dropped the Revs to a tie for 6th in the in the
Eastern Conference with only five goals scored in six matches.
New England struggled to create chances in the match and probably didn't deserve a positive
result anyway, despite the presence of their brand new finishing specialist, Rajko Lekic.
"Psycho" Rajko Lekic made his MLS debut but found himself frustrated by lack of service as the
New England Revolution fell to the Houston Dynamo 1-0 at Robertson Stadium tonight. Lekic went the
full 90 but only mustered one shot, spending most of the match marooned without the ball.
Hunter Freeman secured the win for the Dynamo late in the match by scoring a controversial goal
inside the six-yard box.
The former FA compliance officer, Graham Bean, claims the FA is guilty of making an example out
of Sir Alex Ferguson because of his and the club's high profile.
Ferguson was fined £30,000 and given a three match ban, on top of his suspended sentence of two
matches, for saying that he wanted a "fair referee" after Martin Atkinson yet again made wrong
decisions in a game between United and Chelsea which changed the result of the game.
"I wasn't sure if I would ever be able to play again so I promised myself that when
I came back I would celebrate every single goal like it was my last."
Alecko Eskandarian brought many emotions to United fans during his time in DC. His career gave both
joy, with his 2004 MLS Cup MVP performance, and sadness, as he struggled with lingering effects of
his tragic concussion.
Hawk-Eye's ball-tracking camera technology has already seen great success in tennis and cricket,
and soccer may be the company's next venture.
According to the Associated Press, the Premier League could serve as the next host for goal-line
testing, with the company looking to test the technology during top-level matches.

1990* : The philosophical inquirer Francis FUKUYAMA appropriates and reconceives the defunct
notional entity known variously as The New York Cosmos, The Cosmos, and Pele's Studio 54 Fantasia.
As an actual football team, this construct played its final match in 1985, but Fukuyama—working
in clandestine concert with the business operative Peppe PINTON, whom rumours nominate as a
fugitive from international justice—reinvents the Cosmos as the world's first post-historical
soccer club.
On February 2, 2007, Palermo traveled to Catania's Stadio Angelo Massimino for a Sicilian derby
that unfortunately changed football throughout Italy.

the stadium until the start of the second half.

Arsenal trailed to a highly-controversial goal for 45 fraught and frantic minutes on Tuesday night
before a rapid double repaired their Premier League aspirations.
The Gunners battled back from a controversial goal, and exploited two defensive assignment
miscues to scrape out a 2-1 victory against visiting Everton.

ARSENAL START FORM: In the absence of injured winger Samir Nasri, Arsene Wenger gave Tomas
Rosicky a rare start on the left wing.
Surely Septic Blatter will come to their senses and bring video technology into
the game , especially goal-line technology after yet another controversial goal wasn't given to
Seville striker Luis Fabiano against Real Madrid last night.
If you think modern-day tackles by the likes of Nigel de Jong and Ryan Shawcross are horrible,
take a look at the above video from a 1970 Manchester derby where United legend George Best comes
late to a ball and fiercely tackles City's Glyn Pardoe. The result was a horrific broken leg for
Pardoe, a double fracture in fact, and the referee didn't even immediately stop the play to award a
foul or red card.
