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.

The season is almost two months old and PSV and Twente are above Ajax in the tables. At the same time, Ajax hasn't impressed in Europe yet. That's too bad. But nothing more than that. Ajax might not play sensational against clubs like RKC or NAC, but there is almost no Click to continue reading...

What became of Gaizka Mendieta?

Sanford's Soccer Net 03 November @ 09:43 AM EST

As the cream of Europe do battle once more this week, a man who twice inspired his team to the Champions League final will be nothing more than an interested spectator.

In 2000 and 2001, unfashionable Valencia - driven forward by their brilliant midfield general Gaizka Mendieta - reached the final of the world's premier club competition, only to suffer defeat both times.

United States: Importer or Exporter of Talent?

Culture of Soccer 02 November @ 07:00 AM EST

When I travel abroad, people often tell me that the United States is good at soccer only because they import foreigners to play for the national team. While this strategy was key in our development as a soccer nation, it is far, far less common today. The 1990s saw the US scour European leagues for players with American connections, coming up with gems such as Ernie Stewart and Thomas Dooley (both of whom had American servicemen fathers) and duds such as David Wagner and David Regis (the latter was a Frenchman whose late call-up into the 1998 World Cup squad led to great friction within the team and was a large part of the team's horrible showing in that tournament).

Ergotelis 2-2 AEK

AEK Archives 01 November @ 02:39 PM EST

So, as is typical with AEK, we blow an early 1-0 lead and end up with a draw (today, the match against PAS, the Cup Final, the match with BATE).

My stream today was poor quality, so I can't comment as much as I could have. But basically what we saw throughout the match was that we had many chances, yet we only scored one of them.
