Of Tumbling Men and Crumbling Reputations

All Four One, and One Four All! 04 October @ 11:45 PM EST

Words of wisdom
Pepe Reina: For me, Fernando Torres is a better striker than Drogba
Rafa Benitez: Stop Drogba, and you stop Chelsea.

Some people just never learn. Sigh !

UT women's losing skid hits three

Against The Run Of Play 25 September @ 10:46 PM EST
UT managed to score for the first time in three matches, but it was not near enough for the Spartans (3-5-1) to halt their losing streak, which now stands at three. It is little consolation for Tampa that Friday's 4-2 loss to Armstrong Atlantic (6-1-2) was the Spartan's third consecutive match against a nationally ranked foe. Click to continue reading...

Barca beats Sporting Gijon 3-0

The Beautiful Game (2) 01 September @ 05:09 AM EST
But I was the real winner, because I got to watch some La Liga action on ESPN at work.
How awesome it that?
Almost as awesome as dominating a league foe in your season opener without the services of, arguably, your best two players (Messi, Iniesta).
Not bad at all. Click to continue reading...

Dirty Tackle 09 August @ 03:24 PM EST

For the first time since January 1998 against Ipswich in the League Cup, Chelsea won a penalty shootout, defeating Manchester United in the Community Shield. This snaps a streak of five straight shootout losses, including that horror show in the Champions League final two years ago and gives the club their fourth Community Shield victory.

Jon Busch, I hate your unholy powers

The Fake Sigi Schmid Blog 26 July @ 09:07 PM EST
First I cut you, not because you couldn't play, but because you're an asshole like me, and there could be only one jerk in this town. Then, you went to Toronto, and I thought that was that. And then you went to the Fire, and became Goalkeeper of the Year last year. And then I ended you in the playoffs. Click to continue reading...

Morir por un penalti

reportajes 19 July @ 01:46 PM EST
Por Sebastián Dulbeca
Los ojos en blanco de Marc-Vivien Foe y el espaldarazo de Miklos Feher regresan en bucle cada vez que un futbolista se derrumba sobre el césped a solas con su sombra. En un círculo de aire limpio de rivales sucumbieron también Antonio Puerta y el felizmente recuperado para la vida no deportiva Rubén de la Red. Click to continue reading...
