Thierry Henry has returned to play for the Gunners on loan from the New York Red Bulls of MLS.

Sometimes it is so, so nice to be so, so wrong. Spain's 4-3 win over Yugoslavia in Euro 2000 was memorably described at the time has "having everything except full-frontal nudity." Given Equatorial Guinea's celebration of their astounding 2-1 win over Senegal in the ACN last night, I expect we had that as well.

England face Sweden at Wembley tonight in what the FA would describe as another ‘vital' friendly. But look into the history of the two nations and one statistic jumps out: England cannot beat those Swedes! It was a friendly at Wembley on May 22, 1968, when we last recorded a win over them. Since then, [.

Brazilian midfielder Ricardo Izecson Dos Santos Leite aka Kaka won't be making his much awaited return to the Brazilian national team after a calf injury ruled him out of the Selecao's upcoming friendlies against Gabon and Egypt.

The Real Madrid star who has been in fantastic form for Los Merengues these past few weeks will have to wait a little longer to play his first match for his country in more than a year.

Some big stars keep playing till their impact on the game fades away slowly overtime. Maradona, Romario, Bebeto, Peter Shilton are some examples. I remember Lothar Matthaus in an interview stating that one of the mistakes he did in his career was to play too late for the national side, especially the Euro 2000 when Germany had paled appearance and linked to his name.

Diego Maradona kisses the Argentina shirt after reaching the final of Italia 90. 20 years later, he went on to manage Argentina and told the press to suck his dick after qualifying for the World Cup in South Africa.

After joining the club from Juventus months earlier, Attilio Lombardo was seen kissing the Crystal Palace shirt during a 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa.

Euro 2000 was very special, in my opinion we saw the best team in the history of France, and best ever performance for Zizou. England, despite a big upset and going out of first round, it had such special players at their peaks like Beckham, Owen, Shearar, Seaman and Mcmanaman. Yes, as a team, they had some flaws.

Following on from my end of the season thoughts, and given that posters and flyers all over NYC are declaring Doomsday this Saturday, around 6pm, I thought I should sum up the best and worst of the entire history of football, dating back to when I started watching and including only games that I have seen.

After long absence, I am back now, with full basket of new stuff, with the new look of the blog. Today, I will start with videos and goals only. I will cover the past two weeks.
I will start with Sendoa wonderful goal for Hercules vs. Mallorca in a 2-2 tie.

I might be the only one here but I "love" the Italian way of football i.e. – the catenaccio, over the brazilian samba. It's a thing of beauty. They play to their strength (great defenders, average attackers) and remind me so much of Muhammad Ali doing his rope-a-dope.

Wales' European Championship clash with England on Saturday has a frisson to it which most international matches between a major footballing nation and one which has failed to qualify for a finals tournament for over half a century fail to generate. This is of course owing to a fierce local rivalry engendered by centuries of cultural and historical struggle between the two countries which helps to foster a healthy sporting rivalry.

Hello to all Russia fans. We are moving into the spring UEFA Euro 2012 qualification cycle and Russia are currently is first place in Group E. Russia will face Armenia in Yerevan on Saturday, March 26. These two sides also met in Yerevan during the Euro 2000 qualification campaign on [read more]

Adam Digby writes a superb blog about Juventus and tweets on all manner of subjects @Adz77 ... this is his favourite goal.

Of course he has scored better goals. Of course he has scored more important goals. The current Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero has netted vital strikes at the World Cup, in a Champions League Final, in the World Club Cup Final and has won so many top trophies and titles that his list of personal honours is longer than that of most clubs.

Since the World Cup there has been one major debate amongst England fans. Youth. Every one of our 60 million football experts has the idea of how we should bring through swarms of talented players to annihilate competition. Who should the FA be looking at to find the blueprint to dispel a 50 year enigma.

DOHA, Qatar — North Korea was forced to dig deep to salvage a point against a rampant United Arab Emirates as they opened their Asian Cup campaign in less than convincing fashion Tuesday. The Koreans, who made the World Cup in South Africa but lost all three games, withstood a barrage of UAE pressure throughout [.

The strongest transfer story involving Spurs today links us with a ‘shock' move for Everton captain Phil Neville. Both The Mail and The Sun carry the story which has been picked up by Football365 and they all are adamant that talks are at an advanced stage.

The ‘younger' Neville will be 34 by the end of this transfer window.
