Bryan Gerzicich and Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona found a dramatic late winner against Maccabi Haifa on Sunday to open a commanding 12 point lead in the Israeli Premier League.

Bryan Gerzicich and Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona found a dramatic late winner against Maccabi Haifa on Sunday to open a commanding 12 point lead in the Israeli Premier League.

Bryan Gerzicich and Kiryat Shmona will look to keep a firm grip on first place in the Israeli Premier League on Sunday when they host perennial powers Maccabi Haifa.

Liverpool are reportedly contemplating a January move for Celtic midfielder Beram Kayal.
The Israel international has impressed all and sundry since his move to Parkhead from Maccabi Haifa in the summer of 2010, and has made 55 appearances for the Hoops.
According to the Daily Mail, Kayal is a target for Liverpool as Kenny Dalglish considers bolstering his midfield during the transfer window.

One week after taking over first place in the Israeli Premier League, Bryan Gerzicich and Kiryat Shmona will be looking to push their winning streak to five when they host Hapoel Haifa.

Oguchi Onyewu got the start and played 76 minutes in Sporting's 2-0 loss to Lazio. The result means both teams advance to the next round of the Europa League. Lazio scored in the 43rd and 55th minutes, limiting Sporting to three shots on goal. Schalke 04 won their group, beating Maccabi Haifa 3-0 in Israel using an understrength squad without Jermaine Jones.

La tenia era suya y la dejo ir, frase marcada para la historia futbolera, y que ningun delantero desea le sea achacada .
Esta nueva era de Internet nos da para observar cada tronco pintado como jugador, y ver fallas absurdas e increibles para jugadores profesionales, para muestra este botón, ha sido nombrada la peor falla futbolera del año en Israel, los locales podran echarle la culpa a su centro delantero Reef Messika de no ganar el partido que termino empatado a un gol entre los equipos de Rishon LeZion contra el Haifa.

With the second half of the 2011-12 Europa League Group Stage underway, the picture for advancement to the knockout phase is becoming much clearer for the U.S. internationals. One has already clinched, a couple are on the doorstep and others will go down to the wire .

The Pot 4 Club Genk is a post from: Just Football

We all know everything about the major clubs that play Champions League football year-in, year-out, right? Pot 1 with its Chelseas, Arsenals and Real Madrids is old news. Pot 4 is where the fun's at. Introducing a new feature on Just Football: The Pot 4 Club.

Old faces meet again as Liverpool head to Stoke

Craig Bellamy made his Liverpool debut, first time round, in a Champions League qualifier at Anfield in 2006. It was a scoring debut, his 33 rd minute goal helping Liverpool to victory in that first leg and setting the club on the road to the final in Athens nine months later.

Bryan Gerzicich and Hapoel Kiryat Shmona will look to build off their impressive road win over Hapoel Haifa when they host Leo Krupnik and Maccabi Netanya on Saturday.

...and the following group stage draw.

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is a decent striker. Quite a bit more than decent, but following his disappointing first season at Schalke (13 goals in 35 matches in all competitions), we'll only slowly roll out the superlatives. Anyway, he has now scored 12 in 6 and made sure Schalke's Europa League season wasn't disappointingly cut short.

Chelsea's three opponents in the Champions League group stages have been decided!

Chelsea are in Group E with:
Valencia
Bayer Leverkusen
KRC Genk

So Mata gets to go back to Valencia for a visit only a short time after departing.

In the opening weekend of the Israeli Premier League, Leo Krupnik and Maccabi Netanya host Maccabi Haifa while Bryan Gerzicich and Hapoel Kiryat Shmona visit Hapoel Haifa.

Today, The Champions League formally returns. It's the last step for a few European giants to reach the Group Stage of Europe's elite competition or be relegated into the Europa League.

Matches this afternoon include: Arsenal v. Udinese. BATE Borisov v. SK Sturm Graz.

Okay, fine, I've been gone for a while. Like, a while. At least I can tell you that, in the past seven weeks, I've learned that the Israeli soccer league is surprisingly good, and that mixing Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa is a serious no-no. Yes, I've been in the Promised Land for the past two months, and, I know, I probably should have told someone, but hey, at least not all of my readers have disappeared, right?

Tamir Cohen will always have my heart. It is mostly because of this game, and because I'm sentimental, but the fact of the matter is, while he was good in patches, Cohen was never quite good enough. This move obviously is not surprising as we released Tamir at the end of last season, and a move back to Israel seems appropriate for him.

Youtube will sein Image ändern und nicht mehr länger nur das Fun-Video-Portal sein. Dafür macht man seit einiger Zeit schon viele Aktionen und gibt dafür auch auch viel Geld aus. Nur einen richtigen Imagewandel gab es bisher noch nicht, für uns alle ist der Google-Ableger eben nur ein Video-Portal mit vielen spassigen Videos.

Well hello there, blog. It's been a while. I'll be honest, with the end of the season and the well publicized (bitched and moaned about on Twitter) publishing problems we've had at the Offside, getting the motivation to write and then sit there for an hour and baby the post until it was finally up was difficult to say the least.

O Maccabi Haifa FC, foi campeão de Israel pela 12ª vez e será o representante de Israel na 2ª fase da Champions League 2011/2012.
Além disso, venceu 5 vezes a Copa de Israel, 3 supercopas de Isreal e 1 vez a Copa Intertoto.
Será sua 8ª participação na Champions League.
Já disputou 32 jogos, sendo 11 vitórias, 5 empates e 16 derrotas.

Der FC Bayern München hat noch eine Rechnung offen. Eine große Rechnung sogar, denn vor drei Jahren verlor man im UEFA-Cup Halbfinale gegen Zenit St. Petersburg sang- und klanglos mit 0:4 und war damit raus aus dem „Cup der Looser". Nun wollen sie zumindest auf dem Papier ein wenig Gutmachung und reisen dafür extra nach [.

Leo Krupnik and Maccabi Netanya all but lost their chances of a Europa League birth after losing to Bnei Yehuda over the weekend, while Bryan Gerzicich and Kiryat Shmona continued its downward spiral of late with a 2-0 loss at league leading Maccabi Haifa.

Leo Krupnik and Maccabi Netanya play their biggest game in years on Saturday when they host Bnei Yehuda while Bryan Gerzicich and Kiryat Shmona face Maccabi Haifa on the road Monday.

Leo Krupnik went the full 90 minutes as Maccabi Haifa scored a 3-2 win over his team Maccabi Netanya, while Bryan Gerzicich and Kiryat Shmona fell to Hapoel Tel Aviv in the other semifinal match 2-0.

Both Israeli State Cup Semifinal matches take place on Wednesday at Ramat Gan Stadium with Bryan Gerzicich and Hapoel Kiryat Shmona taking on Hapoel Tel Aviv while Leo Krupnik and Maccabi Netanya will face Maccabi Haifa shortly after.
