Quarter final first legs tonight. Favourites Selangor take on Terengganu at the Shah Alam Stadium and in my humble opinion could be in for a hard night.

12 goals AND penalties decided this game between Haaglandia/Winston and Excelsior Rotterdam in the KNVB Beker Tuesday.
This game was 2-2 at the half and then home side Haaglandia/Winston, went up 5-2, but anyone who thought it would be over at that point was wrong.
Very, very, amazingly wrong. Click to continue reading...

Shi Jiayi – Persija did ask me about him but there is talk someone else might be interested. Click to continue reading...

For those that love football and the need to vent, well good news.Steven Cohen and Kenny Hassan are back with World Football daily.It is subscription based. But with all the news and events that have happened,Eduardo's dive and Wengers response, Inter's drubbing of old and tired Milan.Roma's inability along with Juve's rebirth.

"Freedom isn't free
It costs folks like you and me
And if we don't all chip in
We'll never pay that bill"
So I'm sure most of you know by now that Steven Cohen has shut down World Soccer Daily. On Friday's edition of WSD, the broadcaster revealed that his decision was made after some random nutter(s) contacted his stepchildren (via Twitter) and friends. Click to continue reading...

(This is a long one, gang. Say I warned you not, do not.)
A few weeks ago, I said that Steven Cohen's claims of intimidation were completely frivolous and fanciful. I said he was only making those claims in order to engender sympathy from the misinformed and/or gullible. I said if there really were this kind of threats, anything resembling this kind of horrible behavior, it would be a matter for law enforcement. Click to continue reading...

"We have distanced ourselves and will continue to distance ourselves from any comments that disrespect the memory of Hillsborough.
"We can see no benefit of giving him legitimacy by the club singling him out. Giving Mr. Cohen oxygen is the worst thing we could do.
"He is not a representative, nor ever has been a representative of the club. Click to continue reading...

Maikel FAIL Maikel FAIL
Ah, so this is why Maikel plays for Szombathelyi Haladas in Hungary, rather than a club that more than 37 people have heard of. Because not all Brazilians can be amazingly good at football.
Maikel's hilarious miss, which must rank as one the worst pens I've ever seen, happened during Arsenal's pre-season friendly against Haladas earlier this week. Click to continue reading...

Poor married Malaysian man.
He came home late from a once-in-a-lifetime friendly match between Manchester United and a Malaysian XI. His punishment: getting stabbed twice in the chest by his wife.

The man had promised to come back immediately after the match in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday evening, but his wife was "very angry'' when he returned after midnight, district police chief Abdul Jalil Hassan said Tuesday.

Lessons learned from the Confed Cup:
1) Spain are better than everyone else combined. I say that even though they struggled to put away a disciplined Iraq side yesterday.
2) Giuseppe Rossi is what Twitter calls a "trending topic". I can't believe how many comments the Judas T-shirt post received, not to mention my take on the US's galling defeat to Italy. Click to continue reading...

Brann 2 - 0 Molde

Highlights

There is something profoundly annoying about Brann. Probably because we're told by the media that their fans are among the best in the country while actually they're a fickle bunch who only sing when they're winning. Probably because saying the club is run like a circus would be an insult to circuses.

My quote from last week:
So, as you can see, like my Orange and those Celtic Bhoys, I am now feeling my oats. I've been around long enough to know, though, that is the exact, precise moment that reality comes crashing. So armed with the certain knowledge of crushing defeat. Click to continue reading...

The annual May 16th round of the Tippeliga attracts big crowds of people ready for a party, as people look to kick off the May 17th constitutional day celebrations a few hours early.

No place typifies the May 16th phenomenon like Brann Stadion. Now Brann-fans are a fickle bunch, but when they're all out and up for it there are few grounds in the Tippeliga that generates a better atmosphere, and May 16th is usually one of those occasions.

Yeah, the last time I wrote about Cohen, I got bucket loads of hits and comments, so, in the words of Whitesnake, Here We Go Again...

On Monday's episode of the World Soccer Daily show, radio co-host Steven Cohen failed to apologize to Liverpool supporters regarding the inaccurate statements he made about their role in the Hillsborough Disaster that occurred on April 15, 1989.

The inaccurate statements made by Cohen on his April 13, 2009 episode of World Soccer Dailywere that:

1. Ticketless Liverpool supporters were the root cause of the Hillsborough Disaster,
2. 6-8,000 ticketless Liverpool supporters showed up outside Hillsborough, and
3. Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough Stadium was used week-in week-out without incident.

Steven Cohen, co-host of the World Soccer Daily radio show, has been at it again.

While the rest of the world last week was paying tribute to the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough Tragedy, Cohen was complaining on his U.S. radio show that Liverpool fans failed to take responsibility for Hillsborough as well as claiming that if 6,000-8,000 ticketless fans had not shown up, the Hillsborough Disaster would never have happened.
