Allow me to introduce, if you don't know it already, the very worthy Free Beer Movement. The goals and tactics of this movement are simple, but profound:

The success of soccer in the United States depends on a larger and more supportive network of fans that attend games, watch them on TV, and spread their love and knowledge of the game to others.

Alguna vez fue "El Caso Mascherano", hoy parece ser que "La permanente a Messi" es un tema nacional y un nuevo caso de publicidad no tradicional de parte de algún producto o empresa.
Resulta casi descabellado pensar en Lio con una peluca estilo Valderrama o "Plumero" Gomez pero, tal vez, sea la formula para que el jugador del Barcelona nos lleve a nuestra 3era Copa del Mundo. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool, the five-time European champions who have won the English title a joint-record 18 times, are struggling on the pitch but comprehensively outperforming their rivals online.

Why didn't Alberto Aquilani play any part of the Lyon game? Can someone please explain to me the logic behind keeping him on the bench for the full 90 minutes because I just don't get it.
Aquilani was on the bench against Lyon therefore he must be fit. He was even warming up at one stage. Click to continue reading...

It has been revealed that Xabi Alonso may have been prevented from writing an open-letter to Liverpool's fans when he left the club. Given the Spaniard's contribution to the club, I find this to be very disappointing.
Both John Arne Riise and Luis Garcia wrote open letters to Liverpool fans when they left the club, both of which were published on the official Liverpool FC website. Click to continue reading...

Misinformation and agenda-driven exaggeration are the key factors at play when it comes to reporting the true level of Liverpool FC's debt and interest payments. The anti-Liverpool media and fan's group SOS exaggerate the figures in a bid to whip up anti-Owner sentiment. Well, Liverpool-Kop can now exclusively reveal the true state of the club's current debt/interest level under Tom Hicks and George Gillett. Click to continue reading...

So President Nicolas Sarkozy went on Facebook to wish les Bleus good luck.

Pretty sure that will be all it takes to push them over the top.

GFC over at The Beantown Frog is cautiously optimistic about this leg of the match, predicting a 1-0 win.

Misfiring striker Andriy Voronin has told of his determination to help Liverpool get this season back on track. Does he have anything to offer or is he a lost cause?
The Ukraine striker has yet to find the back of the net in eight games this season, and to be fair, hasn't even looked remotely like scoring. Click to continue reading...

Define Irony : A bunch of football players missing Internationals for an injury they got introduced in the previous Internationals.

Bosingwa ruled out for three months
Via the official Web site: "Chelsea Football Club can confirm that José Bosingwa underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee this week. His recovery time will be approximately three months."

S***. At least we have an in-form Branislav Ivanovic to continue in his absent.

Two home games, two home defeats, four goals conceded at home.
It's been a sorry start to the season for Persitara in their (latest) new home of Soemantri Brojonegoro Stadium. The heavens opened as the fans left the stadium and heaven might be an approriate place to start looking for inspiration as this current vintage seems to lack much of it on the field.

Gerrard out. Johnson out. Aurelio out. Torres half-fit. Several other players doubtful. Two defeats in three CL games. Third in the CL group table. eight defeats since the start of the season. Liverpool have no chance of beating Lyon on their own ground, right? WRONG.
Liverpool thrive on being underdogs and if history has proven one thing about the club it's this: in times of adversity, and when everything looks hopeless, Liverpool can and will triumph. Click to continue reading...

Peter Beardsley! The more I watch Benayoun the more I'm convinced that he is the current Liverpool team's version of Beardsley.
Beardsley was an absolutely superb player for Liverpool, and anyone who had the privilege of watching him play during the Dalgish era will know what I'm talking about. Click to continue reading...

Here's why our Facebook page might actually be quite good: We're not going to use our Facebook page just to promote our own content.

Football has changed immeasurably over the past ten or twenty years and, with it, Chelsea Football Club. Fans no longer exclusively hail from the Kings Road, South West London or Surrey.

Rafa Benitez has admitted that Fernando Torres is carrying a hernia injury. Given the consequences of aggravating that injury, should Torres be rested against Lyon to avoid a longer-term problem...or should Rafa take a risk and play him anyway?
Yesterday, Benitez had this to say about Torres' injury:
"We know Fernando has a [hernia] problem, and we have to manage it. Click to continue reading...

Football fans are regularly accused of being 'fickle' but, as Pepe Reina proves with his latest comments, it seems that footballers also fall into that category!
September 12th - Liverpool had lost 2 of the first 4 league games. Clearly down in the dumps, Reina stated the following:
"We all want to win the league but right now it's not a realistic objective. Click to continue reading...

...Liverpool beat Fulham today. Yes, the team is suffering from injuries but there is still enough quality in the squad to get a result.
Javier Mascherano summed it up perfectly during the week:

Liverpool are on a disastrous four-game losing streak in the league at the moment. How does this compare to the club's worst runs over the last 100 years? LFCHISTORY.NET investigates.
Liverpool have not lost 4 games in a row since the 1986-87 season, when Kenny Dalglish was in charge and the Reds finished 2nd. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool's defence has been poor at times this season, and with the Manchester United home game coming up, more defensive lapses could quite literally end our league season. United's defenders are not infallible though, and they're just as prone to making costly errors.
Rio Ferdinand in particular has come under fire for his mistakes recently. Click to continue reading...

Sin lugar a dudas la reacción de Maradona tras clasificar en el último partido y de manera agónica a Argentina para el Mundial es la noticia de la semana.

Today's Sunderland defeat is clearly a devastating blow to Liverpool's title chances, after all, no team can win the league after losing 4 of their first 9 league games...right? WRONG. During the 1963-64 season, Bill Shankly's Liverpool team did just that!
I personally don't believe Liverpool can win the title this season, but as history proves, it IS theoretically possible, and it HAS been done before. Click to continue reading...
