UEFA Power Rankings 13 February 2012 - The 90th Minute Soccer Blog
Below are my weekly power rankings for the top (8) clubs teams in UEFA. These rankings are a
combination of their play in domestic and UEFA competitions.
In this week's rankings, Manchester City move up to 2nd place as Barcelona continues to struggle
in La Liga.
Official Kickers Press Release:
RICHMOND, VA – (Monday, February 13, 2012) – The Richmond Kickers continue their strong
tradition of hiring from within the organization, naming veteran goalkeeper Ronnie

The U.S. men's national team plays its second game in a week, and second of 2011 in Panama City
tonight against CONCACAF foe Panama (8:30pm, Galavision/ESPN3.com).
The United States is coming off a 1-0 victory against Venezuela, but tonight should offer a much
tougher test as the Americans face the Panama side that beat the Americans in the Gold Cup group
stages before losing a 1-0 decision in the Gold Cup semifinals.
Domestic cup competitions in Europe typically feature David vs. Goliath stories, but Wednesday,
it's all about the big boys.

RICHMOND, VA – (Thursday, January 5, 2012) – The Richmond Kickers are pleased to announce the
return of forward Edson Elcock for the 2012 season, pending USSF approval.
"We are delighted that Edson has decided to return as he has contributed greatly to the club's
success over the last couple of seasons," commented Leigh Cowlishaw, Richmond
Kickers Head Coach and Director of Soccer.
With giant killer Crystal Palace and Cardiff City looming in the Carling Cup semifinals, you can
forgive Liverpool and Manchester City for not wanting to play each other. But they do.
The two Premier League giants drew each other in the semifinal that will begin in Manchester in
early January.
The Los Angeles Galaxy opened their Asia Pacific Tour in winning fashion, posting a 1-0 victory
over the Indonesian National Select Team on Wednesday.
Robbie Keane scored the winner for the Galaxy, who trotted out the same starting lineup that
defeated the Houston Dynamo in the MLS Cup Final just ten games earlier.
Junior midfielder Andrew Ribeiro (Green Bay Notre Dame) scored his fourth goal of the
season – and fourth game-winner – as second-ranked Creighton scored twice in the opening 20
minutes and held off No. 13 UC Santa Barbara 2-1 Sunday in Omaha, Neb., to advance to the

A day after No. 2 ranked North Carolina suffered an upset loss to Davidson College, unbeaten and
No. 1 ranked UConn also fell.
West Virginia rode goals from Shadow Sebele and Eric Schoenle to post a 2-0 victory over the

The way the U.S. Open Cup has played out, there's certainly a David bracket and a Goliath
bracket.
The Chicago Fire and Richmond Kickers meet in the former, as both carry underdog stories into
their Open Cup semifinal matchup at Toyota Park Tuesday night.
FC Dallas and two-time defending champion Seattle square off in the heavyweight matchup, with
the winner undoubtedly being the favorite to capture the championship and automatic berth in the
2012-2013 CONCACAF Champions League that goes along with it.
When Steve Zakuani went down with a season-ending injury, things were looking pretty bleak for
the Seattle Sounders. When it was learned just a few days later that O'Brian White was out
indefinitely with a mysterious blood clot, it was quickly starting to look like a lost season. Over
the course of the next few weeks, the season went through some fits and starts, never quite looking
hopeless, but giving limited indication that a turnaround was forthcoming.
With three of the four US Open Cup semifinals in the books, Richmond continued their run in the
tournament. The Kickers beat their second Major League Soccer club in a row, once again winning on
the road. Chicago 4 – NY 0 With New York opting to rest their regulars, the Chicago Fire took
advantage early at Toyota Park.

Clint Dempsey's goal late in the second half gave the USA a 1-0 win over Panama and moved it into
the final of the Gold Cup for fourth straight time. Dempsey teamed up with two very improbable
substitutions -- Landon Donovan, again coming off the bench, and Freddy Adu, making his first U.

respect each other and feel the competition level is the highest it's been in the tournament for
quite some time.
Wednesday was a great day for Americans in Israel as Leo Krupnik and Maccabi Netanya advanced to
the Israeli Cup semifinals while Bryan Gerzicich and Hapoel Kiryat Shmona did the same.
Washington, D.C. (April 6, 2011) - Following a victory tonight over the
Philadelphia Union, D.C. United today announced details for a second U.S. Open Cup play-in game

April 26 at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds, MD.
It was a good night for European footballing royalty as Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan, Inter
Milan and Bayern Munich all were victorious in domestic cup ties. Real Madrid and Barcelona are on
a collision course for the Copa del Rey final, while AC Milan and Inter Milan could meet in the
Coppa Italia final.
Hoping for the good Arshavin to turn up
That would be the prize that is at stake. A place in a proper cup final. A chance at glory and
the opportunity to add another 4 numbers at the signs surrounding the upper tier at the Grove. A
Championship side and 90 minutes of football stands between our way and a match at Wembley.
