All the stuff being covered outside the unfriendly confines of the award-winning Dirty Tackle...
The FA's YouTube channel says the kid nutmegged Beckham in this Zurich appearance during World Cup bid week a while back, but it's hard to tell if he actually did. Either way, this might have been the moment Beckham first started thinking about retirement.

Then, they check with Shawn the Referee after a few controversial calls you may have heard about.
With MLSSoccer.com's Fantasy League switching from Facebook only registration to many options (I used my personal twitter account) we are shifting the Sounder at Heart Fantasy League to their service. They also use a broader scoring system that rewards chance creation among other things so take a few moments to look at their scoring system.
Some of you asked if we were going to have a fantasy league again this year and after discussion I have offered to take on the responsibility of creating the league and also managing a team. Last year the only way to sign up for a team was through Facebook, but thankfully they have stopped that practice and now you can sign up for a MLS Network account to create a team so we should get a lot more community members involved!

Southampton today and the FA Cup quarterfinal replay against Manchester United on Monday. I have told the press that the players are prepared tactically, but psychologically it is impossible.

High school yearbooks. Reunions. Facebook. The universe conspires to nostalgically divide time into "watershed moments" that "forever mark" our lives. When the smoke cleared in Munich, a 4-0 shellacking had folks cuing Green Day's "Good Riddance", saying adios to the Iberian era of dominance, and gushing about a new era of Bavarian brilliance.

Prime League: Woodlands Wellington 1-2 Home Utd 09-03-13

I would say the white outfit by Woodlands did make the shooting and focusing easier for my basic lenses in the dim floodlights.

A wet start to the new season with the curtain-raiser that saw defending league champions Tampines Rovers walked away with a 2-1 win over it arch-rivals Warriors FC (formerly SAFFC) at JBS.
Fulham striker Dimitar Berbatov is best known for his laconic artistry on the pitch, but over the last year or so he's used Facebook to show off the artistic pursuits contained in his sketchbook. At least, the ones that aren't too sensual for social media.
We are just days away from the home opener against D.C. United, and earlier today in a private media event, the 2013 Houston Dynamo players modeled their brand new kits they'll wear on opening day.
The latest jersey for Houston is a bit more simplistic than in years past, and is getting quite a bit of mixed reviews since the Dynamo sent photos out on Facebook and Twitter earlier today.
I saw what one of my fellow photographers, Mr Andrew Him who shoots for The Unofficial Woodlands Wellington Supporters' Club (The Black Sheep), posted on his Facebook page days ago on taking match photos at various S.League venue that I thought it would be good to share what he said. So with his permission, I reproduced what he shared online of his experience as below.
Anyone else spot the pitchside hoardings imploring you to "Search Facebook for 'Football Mash Up'" during England vs Brazil? Well, this is what it was all about. The FA and Vauxhall have launched a new viral campaign aimed at stopping 14-17 year-olds dropping out of football. The idea is that you can fit football around [.
According to MLSSoccer.com, the Chad Barrett deal is just a few formalities away from being done after the veteran striker posted as much to (apparently) his Facebook page.

We are a few whiskers over 500 days away from finding out whether US's central defense is ship-shape, though we may never get there because this is one hellacious qualifying campaign. Yes, qualifying this year will be more volatile than Facebook's post-IPO stock price during a Long Term Capital crisis.
Poor old Lukas Podolski didn't have the best of games in the Gunners' 2-0 defeat at the hands of Man City on Sunday, but the loss doesn't seem to have affected the German international too much.
On Monday evening, the day after the defeat, the attacker both updated his Facebook page and Tweeted to his followers that, hey "Shit Happens".
Lionel Messi posted a picture of his record fourth Ballon d'Or award in its new home on his Facebook page along with the message, "Thanks to everyone for being by my side in this beautiful moment of my career!"

Diese Revolution war schon lange überfällig. Kann ja gar nicht angehen, dass die Schiedsrichter immer noch mit einem Kugelschreiber die entscheidenen Spielszene auf einen Zettel notieren und diesen dann später auswerten.
