when Arsène Wenger could take the squad to Austria to take the Alpine air and prepare for the
season ahead.
FC Barcelona vs. Brazil in 1999 - The Full Match
The beginning of the week is never enjoyable, but let's lessen the dosage of suffering with a
glorious find on Youtube. 1999 was FC Barcelona's centenary year and the whole season was quite
the celebration of everything FC Barcelona.
Now that The USWNT team has qualified for the Summer Olympics after a superb tournament in
Canada, Head Coach Pia Sundhage can now turn her focus onto her squads first friendly match of the
new year against New Zealand. The match will be played at FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, Texas,
marking the eighth time the USWNT will play in the Lone Star State.
Penalty FAIL As Thierry Henry and Robert Pires can testify, you really do have to be as good as
Johan Cruyff to do this penalty routine because when it goes wrong, it goes very wrong. Uzbekistan
U23 striker Aleksandr Geynrikh is the latest player to fall foul of attempting to follow in
Cruyff's footsteps.
This game against Panama represents the USA's first friendly match on Central American soil since
March 25, 1993, a 4-1 loss to Honduras in Tegucigalpa. So why now?
"We wanted to take the players out of their comfort zone and give them a different experience,"
said U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
Last night I watched an interesting and rather entertaining friendly match between the USA and
Venezuela. As this is not season for FIFA encounters, both teams largely played with their reserve
side, but it was interesting nevertheless, as both nations are in a very good process of preparing
for their World Cup qualifiers under two very good coaches, Cesar Farias from Venezuela and (the
German)
After a month's hiatus (due primarily to an extended internet-free trip to India see below),
we're back with a TV guide to the weekend. As usual, we provide US TV listings with ET kickoffs,
since that's where we reside. For our non-US readers, we've included a link to livesoccertv.com
for each match.
There is a very interesting Arsenal transfer rumour in today's Mail saying that Arsene Wenger has
got his scouts monitoring the very young Panathiniakos keeper Stefanos Kapino, who made made
history in November by setting a record for the youngest ever player to represent Greece at senior
level in a friendly match (against Romania).

- 2012 Pre Season starts... Geylang United(26/12/11)
2012 Pre-season Training starts with Geylang on Boxing Day 2012.
Honestly speaking this hastily-arranged fixture came as a surprise to me when I was told the
"Uniform Duo" (SAFFC and Home United)be playing against each other at Jalan Besar on the New Year's
eve.

started their pre-season training and let alone if DPMM's status is officially confirmed despite
the earlier report on Asean Football Federation website (AFF).

MLS 2012 SEASON OPENERS
The league has announced the dates of the first home games for next season. All other details, like
opponents are still a few days away from being known.
With one more friendly match to play, Fabio Capello has to decide on whom to take on his 23 man
squad to Euro 2012. And with several questions to answer, including whether to take the suspended
Wayne Rooney or should John Terry still be captain...

It was a process that took around six years from top to tail in total, and it came in three very
distinct phases. I had been a supporter of the England national team, reasoning that, with no
foreign blood in the family tree and a knowledge that we weren't all as bad as we were painted, I
had to have someone to follow for international tournaments.

Today is Slovenia and what on paper should be an easier game than last Friday in Paris.
Nash break
I have long developed an extraordinary capacity to completely switch off from Arsenal during
international breaks. I practically went into hibernation the moment the final whistle blew against
West Brom and it's only now that I'm kicking my cocoon open so I can peer out.
For those amongst you that hadn't noticed, England beat Spain, the current World and European
champions, by a single goal in an international friendly match at Wembley over the weekend. The
celebrations were tempered Spain haven't given the impression of taking friendly matches very
seriously of late and played poorly but there will always be a small corner of England that will be
forever triumphalist, and some may be tempted to start believing that England are now capable of
winning next summer's European Championships.
Viewers looking at the television schedules for last night may have noticed a gap in the
football coverage. For the first time in more than two decades, there were no highlights from the
FA Cup First Round on the television on the Saturday night after the matches were played, and
viewers were forced to wait until this morning to catch up with what happened yesterday afternoon
instead.

Why England should ignore FIFA and wear poppies on their shirts with pride
On Wednesday, the world's most patronising man – who unfortunately just happens to be this
nation's Prime Minister – stood up in the House of Commons and criticised FIFA for not allowing
England players to wear shirts that featured upon them images of a poppy.
Tottenham's Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor has come out of retirement and declared that he
is available for the Sparrow Hawks 2014 world qualifier match against Guinea-Bissau next week.
Adebayor who had retired from the national side following a gun attack on the Togolese team bus
as it made its way into Angola for the African Cup of Nations last January, has received
assurances from the TFF (Togo Football Federation) that player safety will be the of uttermost
importance.
England host Spain at Wembley in a mouthwatering friendly match designed to see exactly where Fabio
Capello's men stand on the International stage. An acid test, or quite simply a glorified friendly
fixture? Some say the former whilst others stress the latter. Neither in agreement nor in
disagreement, the English media have themselves been keen [.
Siempre si,
la FIFA accedió a que la Selección Inglesa utilize el tradicional "poppy" en
el encuentro ante España, regularmente éste lo lucen en la fecha en que se encuentra mas cercana
al 11 de Noviembre, pero en esta ocasión es fecha FIFA y había dado la negativa a los Ingleses de
utilizarlo.
Denmark and Sweden meet again on Friday night in an International Friendly Match, the two
Scandinavian rivals met last time in late 09′ for the World Cup South Africa 10′ Qualifiers, in
a decider to see who will qualify out of the group. Denmark came out victorious that night, with
Bendtner squaring it to Jakob Poulsen, who hit a hard low powerful shot past the keeper from 20
yards, Which saw them qualify.
FIFA have continued their tradition of embarrassing themselves on the world stage by refusing to
let England wear poppies on their shirts during their friendly match with Spain. This latest PR
disaster follows on from the recent gaffes of substantiated allegations of vote fixing for World
Cup venues, refusing to deploy technology to make the game fairer and voting in their bumbling
leader, Sepp Blatter, unopposed for a third term.
As well, it should - and he has been dropped by Mexico, I'm guessing for his ghastly form of
late, not anything related to the disciplinary action. Also, NYRB defender Teemu Taino, who
appeared to grab Galaxy midfielder Juninho around the neck during the melee that followed Marquez
throwing a ball at the Galaxy's Landon Donovan after last weekend's game, was given a fine:
NEW YORK (AP) -- Major League Soccer has extended the suspension of New York Red Bulls
defender Rafael Marquez to three games.

Just a few months after shocking the soccer world and snapping up Samuel Eto'o from Inter Milan
and making him the highest paid player in the world, Russian big spenders Anzhi Makhachkala are
planning a couple other eyebrow-raising transfers.

Last summer, Uruguay shocked the world by advancing all the way to the semifinals of the 2010
World Cup. On Friday, they started their path to the next World Cup in style.
Uruguay, which also won the 2011 Copa America this summer, opened their 2014 World Cup
qualifying campaign in CONMEBOL with a 4-2 win over Bolivia.

Brazil secured themselves the 'Superclasico de las Americas' (a glorified, two-leg friendly
match featuring only 'home-based' players) trophy with a 2-0 victory over Argentina in Belem thanks
to a goal apiece from Lucas and Santos cockatoo Neymar with the latter providing his usual mixed
bag of impudent, cocky, defender-baiting skill.
Ireland U19 international Paul George made his first competitive Celtic appearance last night in
the 2-0 victory over Ross County in the Communities League Cup.
George from Killough in County Down came on for the last few minutes of the game and only for an
excellent close range save late on from County keeper Frazer, he could well have marked his debut
with a first senior goal.
