Robbie Keane would have done the same

dioforce. 20 November @ 09:19 PM EST
More than enough has been written about the unfortunate turn-of-events when France advanced to the 2010 World Cup at Ireland's behest.
Though Thierry Henry is the culprit, he should not become a villain, nor have his reputation tarnished by what will surely become the omnipresent fine print in his character bio forever. Click to continue reading...

Old School Thierry Henry

Futbolita 19 November @ 09:40 AM EST
Thanks Alexia for the photo!

So he's not exactly the world's favourite man right now, but Titipo Henry has officially joined The Dona's recreational volleyball club after his handball against Ireland. Ok, instead of calling him a hypocrite like everyone, let's sit down and have a drink.

Algeria Takes The Champs-Élysées. Next: The World!

WorldCupBlog 19 November @ 05:10 AM EST

This is a picture of what's currently going down in the center of Paris. No, that is not a Frenchman celebrating the lack of video replay in football. No, that is not an Irishman infuriated by the lack of integrity by one Thierry Henry. Hell, it's not even the CEO of Caran d'Ache.

by CARL ELDRIDGE The goal-hungry Gunners are on course for a record-breaking ton of Premier League goals.

The old and the new keep Juve in contention

SoccerLens 09 November @ 02:27 AM EST

It all started on September 19th in the year 2000. David Trezeguet, a high profile 40 billion lira signing from the then French champions AS Monaco, scored his first goal for Juventus an 83rd minute winner against Panathinaikos in the Champions League.

Nine years later, the 32-year-old Frenchman, who spent his formative years in Argentina watching his father finish his own playing career, celebrated his 167th goal for the Bianconeri, making him the most prolific foreign goalscorer in the club's history.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Manuel Almunia has been told by Arsene Wenger that he will remain Arsenal's No 1 goalkeeper.

But the Daily Mail reports that while the Spaniard prepares to face Wolves today he may be interested in the rave review Wenger has given fellow Frenchman Hugo Lloris, the 22-year-old Lyon keeper who starred in the Champions League midweek frustration of Liverpool.

Vive le Foot!

Sanford's Soccer Net 06 November @ 12:53 PM EST
Ligue 1 teams had an amazing week in the Champions League (not so much in the Europa) that somewhat validated my prediction of French teams being real contenders this year. While Bordeaux won with class and Lyon once again upset Liverpool in the same manner they did 2 weeks ago, Marseille destroyed Zurich and are now in a position to make Real and Milan sweat.

Arsenal unravel unparalleled attacking depth with win over AZ

The Arsenal Column 05 November @ 10:01 AM EST

Arsenal attacked AZ Alkmaar with speed and purpose to all but seal their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
______________________________________________________________________________

Whisper it quietly but this may be the real deal. Arsenal's speed and incision cut apart Dutch champions AZ Alkmaar but the win received as little as a whimper of attention across Europe.

Should Arsenal sell Clichy?

SoccerLens 05 November @ 08:31 AM EST

The news that Gael Clichy is out for up to two months is unfortunate and may harm Arsenal's trophy ambitions. When he first started his career at Arsenal, he was very injury prone, with continuous operations on his broken metatarsals. He always seems to get injured at an awkward time for The Gunners, and will return in the New Year.

Arsenal play their A game to put Alkmaar to Zzzzzzzzz

Gunners Today 04 November @ 08:42 PM EST

Arsenal 4 AZ Akmaar 1

Ronald Koeman's freaky run against Arsenal and English teams in general was abruptly brought to an end. It could have been a lot worse had Arsene decided to keep a Fabregas keen to get his hatrick as well as the stand in goal creating machine in Arshavin.

Barely three minutes had gone when a few one touch passes led to Van Persie firing just wide across goal.

Dempsey: Exceptional American, American Exception.

Soccer Soap Box 03 November @ 09:41 AM EST

Kudos are clearly warranted for Clint Dempsey as he hits his second goal in as many weeks for Fulham FC. While his first professional coach and likely mentor, ex-Liverpool great Steve Nicol, might not immediately love that Clint helped Fulham take down Liverpool, it was clearly a significant achievement following a goal the prior week against wanna-be powerhouse Manchester City.

United 2 – Blackburn 0 : The Obertan Era Begins… with a scuffed shot wide…

The Offside: Manchester United 02 November @ 11:07 AM EST

So another decent performance sees United secure all three points at Old Trafford. Overall, I was pleased with the result, but still found a few things troubling. The inability of our three main strikers to score consistently when given the opportunity is slightly worrying, but Obertan's EPL debut coupled with Berba's world class finish left me as happy as could be.

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).

Gab: I Was Nervous But Kept Encouraging Me

Republik Of Mancunia 01 November @ 07:51 AM EST

Gabriel Obertan has made a bright start to his Manchester United career, putting in a good performance against Barnsley in the week and impressing during his half hour run against Blackburn yesterday.

With ten minutes left to play and the game still at 1-0, Obertan had the opportunity to make it a dream start when Valencia presented him with a chance to score from five yards out.

The Daily Telegraph, well the Belfast version reports Cesc has signed a pre-contract agreement with Barca! Worried for a second, but then I saw the word ‘Adeybayor' in the same sentence you know him, the one who feels he has the right to an opinion about us!
