Greatest World Cup matches: Italy-North Corea (1966)

Football Fanaticos 07 November @ 01:07 AM EST
The World Cups have, especially in the start, been the complete dominance of South America and Europe. Therefore, throughout the 1950's and 1960's, the "rest of the world", that is, Asia, Africa and Australia had to play between them for one meager qualifying spot.For the 1966 World Cup in England, this "rest-of-the-world" spot went to the small and closed Communist dictatorship of North Corea.

Weekend Match Guide: Ban suspended edition

Dirty Tackle 07 November @ 12:55 AM EST

The matches to watch after you realize that, if for just this weekend, the suspension of Chelsea's transfer ban is far less important than the match on Sunday. And that I told you so.

Saturday

Tottenham v Sunderland at White Hart Lane Jermain Defoe returns from suspension and Aaron Lennon might appear, although this will really be Darren Bent's show as he visits his former team.

How Tomasz Kuszczak’s smile spurred the media to make themselves look silly

Dirty Tackle 06 November @ 06:26 PM EST

In a routine chat with MUTV this week, Manchester United backup goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak said the following:

"To be honest, I must say this and Edwin doesn't like this too much for sure, but he doesn't help me too much.

Dude calls van der Sar a bad teammate

The Beautiful Game (2) 06 November @ 01:18 PM EST
Tomasz Kuszczak (left) is a reserve goalkeeper for Manchester United.
Recently he made all the headlines for calling the Old Trafford No. 1 'keeper Edwin van der Sar (right) selfish, damn selfish. It's creating a bit of a controversy in England, and I'm pretty sure it's because Kuszczak needed to try to find a way to become relevant. Click to continue reading...

Rooney: I Used United Success To Taunt Liverpool Fans As A Kid

Republik Of Mancunia 06 November @ 03:30 AM EST

Wayne Rooney, who caused a fuss last season by telling a national newspaper he "hated" Liverpool FC, has today confessed that when he was growing up as an Everton fan, he used United's success to wind up any Liverpool fans he came across.

"United won most of the trophies in the 1990s and for me, as an Everton fan, it was a chance to have a go back at the Liverpool fans," said Rooney.

Wolves turning players into freezepops

Dirty Tackle 05 November @ 07:27 PM EST

Oh, Wolverhampton. When they're not passing off manual labor as a prize, they're trying to turn their players into subzero ice people.

The club's physio and masseur took midfielders Michael Kightly and Dave Edwards (pictured above, left) to a cryotherapy clinic earlier in the week. No, they weren't making plans to freeze their bodies after they die so they can one day fight in Walt Disney's unfrozen superhuman zombie army, they were actually there to freeze their living bodies at ungodly temperatures and all while wearing nothing but underpants and gloves.

Keep Your Eyes On The Ball

The Dribzleroo 05 November @ 04:35 AM EST

A word of advice for Rio Ferdinand, you will have plenty of time to attend movie premieres, start a music label and run your very own magazine when you decide to hang up your boots. Until then, as long as a fat cheque comes to your house every week signed by Manchester United Football Club, kindly concentrate all your energy and effort on the pitch.
