The Ivory Coast won their first match of the 2012 African Cup of Nations today, a 1-0 defeat of
Sudan with Didier Drogba scoring the lone goal.
Curious as to their current FIFA ranking and who else might likely put up a fight against the
Elephants, I looked it up. Learning that they rank 18th internationally didn't surprise, but the
fact that only 5 other African countries make up the top 50 did.

Abel Xavier foi eleito, por 23 dos 63 leitores que participaram na última votação, como o
jogador com o penteado mais bizarro da história do futebol. Formado no Sporting e Estrela da
Amadora, Abel Xavier, hoje Faisal após a conversão ao Islamismo, conheceu um dos pontos mais
altos da sua carreira ainda muito jovem quando se sagrou campeão do mundo de sub-20 (ainda com um
penteado "normal), um título que lhe valeu a transferência para o Benfica, onde se manteve por
três épocas.

Philadelphia Union player. Over the next several weeks PSP continues with a review of the 2011
season.
Faryd Mondragon looked like the answer in 2011.
Turkish Club GALATASARAY attempted to sign ATLETICO DE MADRID player JOSE ANTONIO REYES at the
start of the season, but the player rejected the offer. Now with a head to head clash with Coach
Manzano, where the player is being punished for "inadequate behaviour ( insults at Coach)" with
prolonged sitting on the bench, Reyes is apparently open to ideas.

With his contract at the LA Galaxy set to expire at the end of December, it's still unsure
whether or not David Beckham will be playing in MLS for the 2012 season.
After the former England international helped his side to its third MLS Cup (the last coming in
2005), Beckham was quizzed about his well-publicized future in the game.
They only booed me at the Emirates Former Arsenal cult hero Emmanuel Eboue got a vicious welcome to
Turkey from Besiktas fans at the weekend. Just a handful of games into his Galatasaray career, the
Ivorian found out the hard way that matches between the two sides tend to get a bit tasty. A

Zach Woosley of Dynamo Theory, SB Nation's Houston Dynamo blog, and I
chatted ahead of today's Union-Dynamo game at PPL Park.
Scott: The regular season series is 2-0-2 in favor of the Union, with both wins for the
Union away in Houston. Do you see the pattern continuing with another draw in Philadelphia, or do
you think it will be an offensive display that will result in a high scoring result for either
side?
David Beckham's legacy is already tainted. Tainted because he will forever be remembered as the
man who dated a Spice Girl as much as he would for his starring role in the final minutes of the
1999 Champions League final. Tainted because he will forever be recognised as an Armani poster-boy
as much as he would for his last-gasp free-kick against Greece which helped propel England to the
World Cup Finals in 2001.

Tat's entertainment...
Colombian Juan Pablo Pino obviously didn't invest in a copy of The A-Z Of Saudi Etiquette when
he moved on loan from Galatasaray to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr in the summer.
The winger was arrested by Saudi "moral police" in a shopping mall in Riyadh after fellow
shoppers complained about the Colombian's tattoos on his arms, which were exposed by his sleeveless
top.

who is on third place.

This may or may not be what happens when someone begins transforming into a werewolf. I'm sure
it'd be easy to Google, but I'm too scared to get on some sort of worldwide Twilight watch
list, so I'll settle happily at "I dunno" and be done with it.
Felipe Melo scored a grand goal today, began this frightening metamorphosis, then remembered his
true identity Brazilian and began dancing.
The Turkish Süper Lig has finally got under way over the last weekend following extensive

Arsenal beat Udinese 1-0 in the first leg of the Champions League play-off. Ramsey looked good
in midfield, Gervinho ran his heart out, Vermaelen was solid and Szczesny showed why we do need
another goalkeeper.
The game started well for Arsenal, with Theo given us the lead after four minutes, after that
though it was backs to the wall as Udinese caused us many problems.
Team news, facts and figures ahead of the Champions League play-off first leg between Arsenal
and Udinese at Emirates Stadium.
TEAM NEWS
Arsenal will be without suspended duo Samir Nasri and Robin van Persie. Nasri would not have
been expected to play as he moves closer to a move away from the Emirates, whileCesc Fabregas has
finally completed his protracted transfer to Barcelona.
The slim down diet continues as Emmanuel Eboue finally departs for Galatasaray (fee about £3m)
after a typical protracted will he won't he where will he go quality which has come to define an
Arsenal transfer.
Next in line, Nicklas Bendtner and Manuel Almunia. And despite Samir Nasri's syntax challenged
Twitter about still being a (sic) Arsenal player after fans slagged him at the Newcastle match, he
is widely seen as a player who will ditch his club for a better pay packet.
