Norwich midfielder Bradley Johnson has taunted Joey Barton after the QPR star was sent off during
Norwich's 2-1 win at Loftus Road on Saturday. Barton had given Queens Park Rangers an early lead
before being involved in a confrontation with Norwich midfielder Bradley Johnson. The spiky
Mancunian then appeared to headbutt Johnson and was swiftly [.
Zizou was not the only one with Headbutt. Yes, Eto had one after him too, but, even a player like
Pele got one, a very good one : )
However, he didn't get a red card,
I saw it when I was a kid, in a famous movie about Pele, but just could not find it anywhere in the
net.
The chants of "Red Bull Reject" rang out in Red Bull Arena, but the player they were aimed at
didn't hear them.
No, Mike Magee was too focused on the task at hand, helping the No. 1 seed Los Angeles Galaxy
post an opening playoff win against the New York Red Bulls, which just so happened to be Magee's
former team.
Here we go again with lip reading. The 2006 Zidane headbutt to Marco Materazzi's remarks and
more recently, the Sergio Busquets incident with Marcelo in last season's El Clasico which had oral
motor pundits giving their versions what was said.
This time it was John Terry, never the modicum of respectability, and marginally deserving of
England's captaincy exchange with Anton Ferdinand during the QPR match landing him in trouble.
Some big stars keep playing till their impact on the game fades away slowly overtime. Maradona,
Romario, Bebeto, Peter Shilton are some examples. I remember Lothar Matthaus in an interview
stating that one of the mistakes he did in his career was to play too late for the national side,
especially the Euro 2000 when Germany had paled appearance and linked to his name.
Mid-week MLS action saw the race for the Eastern Conference get even tighter. It also saw a heated
exchange between Daniel Paladini and Kyle Beckerman which saw Beckerman walk off with a red. Pedro
Gomes has your recap.

The MLS playoff race in the Eastern Conference just became a little more intense, and we can
thank the Chicago Fire for that.
Midfielder Marco Pappa snapped a personal three-month scoring drought in dramatic fashion,
delivering a hat-trick to help the streaking Fire pulled off a stunning 3-0 victory over 10-man
Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium on Wednesday night.
Marco Pappa scored a hat trick starting with a goal in the 9th minute of play. Less than a
minute after his first goal, Daniel Paladini provoked Kyle Beckerman into a vicious headbutt that
lead to Beckerman receiving a red card. The quick Fire score and Beckerman red card gave the game
the same momentum as a red card/penalty kick scenario.
Villareal midfielder Borja Valero has had his 3 game ban reduced to 2 following
his red card v Odense in last months Champions League qualifier.
Valero whos Zidane like head-butt seen him red carded will only receive the
extra game suspension should he reoffend in his 2 year probation period.

Home to Premier League newcomers Norwich may have been thought as an easy three-pointer
for Bolton, but such results should not be taken for granted.
By Sam Blakeley, writing from London
To the uninitiated, the ‘number 10' in football is that archetypal player who links midfield
with attack, floating between the two and becoming the playmaker of the side. He must be blessed
with vision, composure, awareness, and an incredible range of passing, culminating in an almost
extra-sensory ability to control the game and be within and without everything that happens going
forward for the team.
Bolton Wanderers sit atop the English Premier League after they thrashed newly promoted Queens
Park Rangers 4-0 at Loftus Road. It was a rude introduction to the Premier League for QPR who
finished with 10 men after Clint Hall's late sending off for a headbutt.
After a promising start, in which striker DJ Campbell's had a goal disallowed for offide, QPR
conceded a goal right on the stroke of half-time when Bolton defender Gary Cahill fired the ball
into the top corner from 25 yards.

In which Sporting KC captain (yes, captain) Omar Bravo does his damnedest to splice
Seattle Sounders defender Pat Noonan's ankle in twain with a flying two-footed stomp, sees red
immediately, has the cheek to throw a wobbly at the decision and then, to cap off his pissy little
charade, feigns a Noonan headbutt and then has the temerity to repeatedly tell the ref to watch the
'incident' on the big screen as he's forcibly ejected from the field of play.
MEXICO CITY, Mexico — Mexico goalkeeper Jose de Jesus Corona has been dropped from the national
squad to defend next month's CONCACAF Gold Cup after television cameras caught him headbutting the
trainer of a rival team during the league playoff semifinals. Corona, who plays for Mexico City's
Cruz Azul, was involved in a fight between [.
How bad is this headbutt?
Well, it's pretty bad, but what's the punishment worth?
Check it out:
The headbutter (I know that's not a word but work with me) is Jesus Corona of Cruz Azul. The person
who received the headbutt is Sergio Marti, a trainer with Morelia.
This happened on Sunday at the end of Morelia's 3-0 win over Cruz Azul.
In the quaint Luxembourg stadium on Friday, in front of a hopeful banner that read "Lux 4, Fra
0," the pitch welcomed Patrice Evra and Franck Ribéry back from their period of post-World Cup
exile. The game itself was, to put it politely, not the most thrilling of match-ups France is lucky
to be in European Cup qualifying group with some of Europe's cutest nations, Luxembourg and the
Faroe Islands but the mild victory by France further solidified it's march towards the 2012
European Cup, and more importantly registered as the end of one thing and, hopefully, the beginning
of another.
I was looking forward to an exciting Champions League tie between perennials AC Milan and
newcomers Tottenham Hotspur. The match did deliver excitement but was marred by the mindless
actions of both Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso and Mathieu Flamini. UEFA is already investigating
the incidents involving Gattuso and Tottenham coach Joe Jordan.
A 1-0 win for Tottenham at the San Siro last night was flattering on the current Serie A
leaders. Harry's side dominated from the off and perhaps deserved more from a match ending on
indifferent terms.
Former Ranger's midfielder Gennaro Gattuso lost his head at the final whistle, head-butting
second-assistant coach Joe Jordan after the two squared up.

For several summers, Tottenham Hotspurs was often touted by the pundits as a pre-season favorite to
break into the top four in the English Premier League, no matter how poorly the team had fallen off
in the previous season. Well Tottenham finally finished in the top four last season, and are trying
to prove last season's finish was not a fluke.
For those that didn't see it, Gennaro Gattuso had a few run-ins with Tottenham assistant coach
(and former AC Milan man) Joe Jordan. First, it was a choke. Then, after the match, a match that he
coincidentally lost, Rino went a bit madder, and went in for the headbutt.
And here's round 2:
