LA PELOTA NO DOBLA 20 October @ 01:02 PM EST
[nanu bauzá]
Como pata femenina de LPND, va una visión hormonal y nada futbolística sobre estos hombres que juegan con el esférico. Si si, a mi me gusta el fútbol, me gusta verlo, comentarlo, analizarlo, pero ahora voy a dejar eso de lado.
Tengo que decir, primero, que como mujer futbolera no estoy mirando realmente a los tipos si son lindos o no cuando veo fútbol. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool Kop 16 October @ 06:15 AM EST
...Henrik Larsson or Gabriel Batitstuta. This is the view of former Scotland manager Craig Brown, who believes that Torres still has some way to go before matching those two players. What do you think?

Wanted big target men for Argentina: Paging Hernan Crespo

Soccerblog 08 September @ 08:06 AM EST


An airborne Argentinian. Say it isn't so. Crespo shows his aerial abilities.

Please help out Don Diego.

He should go for a 4-2-3-1 with either Diego Milito, Gonzalo Higuain, and the best of the lot, poacher exemplar Hernan Crespo as the lone striker allowing the three man attacking midfield in Datolo, Aguero, and Messi to become more creative, open up the spaces, and create goal scoring opportunities.

CitySport...un Mondo nuovo... 11 June @ 12:03 PM EST
Cristiano Ronaldo al Real Madrid.

Bobo Goes To Brazil.

The Offside 24 April @ 11:00 AM EST
Bobo Vieri quite sadly spent most of last year with a fork sticking out of his back. So after being quickly ushered out of Firenze, he was, of course, snapped up by another half-decent Serie A team. After two-thirds of a season of non-productivity, he and Atalanta parted ways. And now he's looking for a [. Click to continue reading...

Batigol: do futebol ao pólo

Futebol bonito 19 March @ 05:52 AM EST
Gabriel Batistuta, um dos pontas-de-lança que mais me empolgava ver jogar na minha adolescência, deixou o futebol em 2005 e aposta agora em jogar pólo. A estreia teve lugar recentemente e o antigo craque argentino até fez dois golos. O ex-avançado representou o Newell's Old Boys, River Plate, Boca Juniors, Fiorentina, AS Roma, Inter de Milão e Al-Arabi, sendo ainda hoje relembrado como um verdadeiro herói pelos adeptos do clube de Florença, onde marcou muitos golos, mas apenas ganhou uma Taça de Itália em 1996.
