Por Lola DirceuAparecen como cometas. Deslumbran con toda suerte de gambeteos, rabonas y pinceladas pintureras.
Parten cinturas a su paso y se ponen sombreros de ala ancha tirados desde la grada tras meter gol.
Les idolatran como santos aparecidos. Se forran. Se lo gastan.

Man Utd utility man contractually obliged to use the word 'cleat' In these crazy days of superstar
footballers, viral marketing and global recession, boot deals have become a thing of the past for
all but the game's most marketable elite. And when OTP thinks of marketable players John O'Shea is
not one of the first that [.

With J Hutcherson -- For the United States National Team, proving it in Europe no longer has the
same impact it did in the Arena era. Results will do that, and the United States has shown they can
get them against mid-tier European teams. Even against the elite, the US hasn't simply rolled over.
Sure, there was a lot of criticism a year ago when the US lost to England at Wembley and Spain at.

El Atlético de Madrid es uno de los temas que más me apasionan en el mundo del fútbol. Junto al
Valencia me parecen un paradigma de club sin rumbo, que va cambiando de capitán y de tripulación
sin tener una idea fija de hacia que mar quiere ir.
El Atlético es un gran club y su historia ahí queda.

Um artigo muito interessante de André Baibich, da Goal.com, sobre a legião de jogadores
estrangeiros em clubes em todo o mundo. Portugal, pela mesma razão, já se pode considerar o
Brasil da Europa. Convém pela sua originalidade ler todo o artigo na origem.
Goal.

Ok, so Chelsea scored 5 goals today in a shutout of Blackburn, and Tottenham lost to Stoke
City. Plus, Aston Villa drew with Wolverhampton. I don't get it...
This is the kind of league that should be easy to peg. Honestly. How hard is it for Chelsea
to pick a direction? If they beat Blackburn 5-0 how come they can't beat Aston Villa or Liverpool
(other teams that aren't as good as them)?

See The Cup 24 October @ 12:36 AM EST
The two Brazilian clubs still in the Copa Sudamericana did not start well the quarter-finals of
Copa Sudamericana. Botafogo and Fluminense will have a lot of work if they plan to advance to the
semis. Botafogo visited Cerro Porteno in Paraguay and lost 2-1. Reinaldo scored for Bota, but if
the club from Rio wants to advance, it must win at Maracana.

Anfield Talk 19 October @ 11:59 AM EST
Stoke City centre-back Ryan Shawcross has been attracting interest from an elite of Premier League
clubs but has publicly reiterated his interest in continuing to kit out for Tony Pulis' Potters, as
he could not be guaranteed regular first-team football at a top-four club.
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is reportedly an admirer of Shawcross' defensive nous, while
Arsenal, Manchester United, Fulham, Everton, and West Ham United have also been linked with a move
for the player.

Dirty Tackle 12 October @ 04:21 PM EST
As the pitch was besieged with red-hot flares and racist monkey noises during Saturday's Ukraine
v England match, there was a third menace, literally flying under the radar with its threat of
gliding danger. That threat?
Paper planes.
Says David James:
"They were big flares, granted, but you could argue that someone throwing a paper aeroplane on
the pitch might take someone's eye out.

On the heels of the worst World Cup result of a USA under-20 team in over a decade, Goal.com's
Andrea Canales reports that a transition in development in Bradenton, Florida and the lack of an
MLS reserve league could be the root of these problems.
I wasn't terribly surprised when the USA under-20 team, a squad where many members do not see
regular playing time (partly as a result of MLS having no reserve league right now), had its worst
performance of the World Cup against a South Korea team known for speed and fitness. Click to continue reading...

Yesterday, Frenchman Arsene Wenger became the longest-serving Arsenal manager having celebrated
13 years in charge of the North London Club, years during which he made sure Arsenal joined the
elite of European football.
Speaking about how he joined the club, Wenger believes the board of management had to be "brave"
in approaching him, adding he was a lucky man to find a nice atmosphere in London.

With J Hutcherson -- Leave it to the British to prop up the establishment, but it may be worth
reminding the people making the public statements on behalf of Manchester United of a couple of
things. Mainly, that they're ownership is foreign, they spend as much as anybody on talent, and
they're not all that different from Manchester City and Chelsea.

Now that one transfer window has finally closed the talk around the next window opening begins.
And it should be no surprise that Valencia's amazing strikers are at the top of the desired list.
It is no secret that Valencia is strapped for cash and needs to sell the forwards in order to make
some money back.

With J Hutcherson -- Leave it to the Premier League for potentially changing the face of European
soccer. If their adoption of the "home-grown rule" becomes the norm across Europe, this could be
the last year we see the Champions League as a de facto World All-Star League. Well, at least with
so many of the World's elite concentrated among a small group of clubs.

Xabi Alonso claims manager Rafa Benitez showed him little affection during his time at
Liverpool.
The Spain midfielder left Anfield in the summer to join Real Madrid in a £30m deal despite an
outstanding season in the Reds midfield last term.
Benitez came close to selling Alonso to Juventus last summer as the Liverpool boss tried to pave
the way for long-term target Gareth Barry.

Swine Flu. West Nile Virus. Monkey Pox. Athletes' Foot. As we have seen this summer by the
quarantining of Galaxy star Landon Donovan, even elite footballers aren't immune to the new world
of pandemics. However, few people realize that Major League Soccer has it's own specific list of
horrifying viruses, diseases and ailments.
