Ian Edward Wright, known now by many a name but during in footballing career he was fondly known
as ‘Wrighty'.
Born in the fine year of 1963, he went on to be a half decent striker at Crystal Palace and then
Arsenal and boy, did he love to score!
He had a bit of a strange start to his career in football, he had trials at both Southend and
Brighton while in his teenage years but neither club thought he was good enough and let him go on
his merry way.

Arsenal are "keeping tabs on" 18-year-old Barcelona winger Gai Assulin, which seems as
good a place as any to keep tabs, but only if they're properly secured with Velcro.

Actually, a lot... pretty much every football trivia question ever in fact. Thanks to Steve
(from whom you can also find all the answers).

Don't know how others feel, but I'm pretty fed up with reading the football news, its either
about Cesc going to Barca, or Cesc going to Barca so instead I thought over the next few days I
would take a look back at a few ‘loved ones' from the team in red and white. Feel free to let me
know if it's a stupid idea

ESPN has taken more than their fair share of stick for their football/soccer coverage, and for
good reason. They're American (despite dubbing themselves The Global Leader) and, by and large,
they do American sports well. Others: not so much.
But they've gone off-script with their latest venture, the Soccer Power Index, designed to
render World Cup 2010 moot.

In Bob Bradley's search for Jozy Altidore's strike partner now that Charlie Davis is
unfortunately out for six months or more recovering from that horrific car crash.
Johnson has always been an enigma. Great promise and an ability to get behind defenses with his
speed. His was a blazing start with the MNT as he scored 7 goals in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers
including a goal on debut against El Salvador and a hat trick three days later against Panama.

Everyone I have spoken to or who has texted me says the same thing. That Indonesia were crap and
that the Uruguay adventure has been a waste of time and money. So there you have it. Everyone says
it so it must be true.
But before I jump on that particular bandwagon...
The opening 15 or 20 minutes were as good as anything I've seen from any Indonesian football team
since I took up my computer to begin these rambles.

Australia's second game of the 2009 under-16 AFC championships has just wrapped up and it's another
win for the Aussie team. Which means, barring any huge upsets, they have made it through to the
semi-finals of the titles. To make it to next year's under-17 FIFA women's World Cup, they need to
finish in the top-three so it means they are halfway there.

Babo replied, "I don't think of myself as a 7th grader.

Is there hope for Pompey? Maybe if you're an eternal optimist. I just like to think of it as
something that Portsmouth fans can reminisce about next season when they are taking the Coca Cola
Championship by storm. That is just where the state of Pompey football is at the moment. One 4-0
victory is not going to suddenly turn things around for the better, but for that to happen,
Piquionne and Dindane are going to have to put in these types of performances week in and week
out.

Portsmouth were sitting at rock bottom after seven Premiership rounds and they
had always been expected to struggle after they could only reinforce the squad in the dying moments
of the transfer window due to the uncertainty surrounding the club. Nevertheless,
Paul Hart's team have shown a massive improvement in the last few weeks having taken no less than
seven points from last four games.

Apoel Nicosia vs FC Porto
FC Porto will look to lock up second place in Group D with a win against Nicosia. The 2-1
victory a fortnight ago did not represent the game. Porto out-played the Romanian side for the
better part of the game and Hulk should have had a hat-trick at least.

Real Madrid managed to ease past Getafe despite having Raul Albiol sent off early on. Gonzalo
Higuain was the star of the show with two goals and he came so very close to grabbing a hat-trick

Until the 32nd started, things looked dull for Palmeiras. There was enormous pressure and the
fear that the team had just lost the Brasileiro. But after the last mid-week round of Brasileirao,
things changed again. Palmeiras won and all direct rivals, but one, lost precious points. With
that, the hopes of Palmeiras fans have been renewed.

But Torrance's Shannon Boxx is not among the 10 female players on the FIFA short list this
year.
Marta has won the award three times in succession.
Here's FIFA's list of the male and female nominees as announced today.
And here's the WPS press release heralding the accomplishments of the players nominated who play
in the league:
Sonia Bompastor FRA/Washington Freedom - Led the league in assists (6)

Normally the points in this fixture are rather an irrelevance, but this time there is more at
stake than just bragging rights. The sides go into the game separated only by goal difference, and
the three points up for grabs could prove crucial come May. Ultimately, league position is the
gauge, and this season for a change we have a realistic chance of finishing above l'Arse.

Easy schedule or not, there's no stopping the Akron Zips. While their conference schedule in
Mid-American play is regarded as fairly light, Wednesday's match against Penn State was a chance at
answering those critics, as the Nittany Lions came in ranked 16th in this week's RPI.
