Ultimamente, a SÃria tem sido alvo de intensa cobertura noticiosa a nÃvel internacional.
Infelizmente, os motivos estão longe de ser os melhores e o povo continua a sofrer atrocidades por
parte de quem lidera este paÃs asiático, com parca expressão no panorama futebolÃstico
internacional.
If ever there was a goal which deserved a little man-love on the sidelines, this is it. Rajiv van La Parra oh-so-casually chips the keeper from outside the box, the ball seemingly suspended in time, in glorious fashion. One would think the only way this could be better is if it were in the dying moments of a final.
Oranje Wednesdays: Thriller in Arnhem, AZ lose their cool is a post from: Just Football
The inhabitants of Arnhem and Enschede have witnessed some memorable moments already this season. It was the same again in their recent eagerly anticipated home games separated by nineteen hours. On this occasion it wasn't a tale of two cities, but of two penalty areas; one incident leading to a missed opportunity, the other bedlam.
Liverpool is aiming to steal Heerenveen star Filip Djuricic from under the noses of Manchester United. The 20-year-old has been a long-term target for United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and even had a spell on trial at Old Trafford in 2009. It is thought that United were unable to obtain a work permit for the Serbia international at the time, leaving him to join Dutch side Heerenveen instead.
Oussama Assaidi is not eligible to play in Liverpool's Europa League play-off matches against
Hearts.
The Morocco winger, who became the club's third summer signing last Friday, is cup tied having
featured for Heerenveen in the qualifying rounds.
However, he will be available should Liverpool reach the group stages.
Liverpool Football Club today reached an agreement to sign 24-year-old Moroccan international
winger Oussama Assaidi from Dutch club Heerenveen for a fee believed to be around £3 million.
Assaidi scored 20 goals in 68 appearances for the Dutch club and has 22 caps for Morocco making
his international debut in February 2011.
Usually when Liverpool signs a player, I've at least a passing familiarity with the player.
Sometimes, it's someone I've watched often – like Joe Allen, Andy Carroll, Stewart Downing,
Charlie Adam, etc. You know, players bought from other Premiership sides. Less often, it's someone
I've seen on a few occasions and can supplement with statistics and those damned YouTube videos,
like Fabio Borini.
Liverpool has reached an agreement with Heerenveen to sign winger Oussama Assaidi, subject to the
player passing a medical.
The Morocco international, who has scored 20 goals in 68 appearances for the Eredivisie side, is
poised to become Brendan Rodgers' third signing of the summer after Fabio Borini and Joe Allen.

Marco Pappa to SC Heerenveen of Eredivisie (Netherlands' top football league)? Pasion Roja sure
thinks so. In addition to running with a confirmation, they even went ahead and photoshopped him in
to a new jersey. Pasion Roja covers Marco Pappa's original team Municipal so it's not out of the
question that they would have the inside contacts much like Wrong Side of the Pond broke the Chris
Rolfe story.
Eredivisie: Analisi e commento del 23° turno Di Stefano Lazzarato Il Psv approfitta dello scontro
diretto tra loro per guadagnare due punti a Twente ed Heerenveen per tornare in testa solitario. Il
Feyenoord perde lo scontro diretto con il Psv e scivola a -5 dal secondo posto. In coda pesante
vittoria del Vvv (terza consecutiva), mentre l'Excelsior è scivolato all'ultimo posto.
Eredivisie: 22° Giornata, Analisi e commento Di Stefano Lazzarato Parecchie sorprese in questo
turno sia in coda che in testa. Cadono le due capoliste e Twente ed Heerenveen accorciano in
maniera preoccupante. In coda dopo oltre un anno torna alla vittoria in trasferta il Vvv (solo
sconfitte dopo la vittoria sul Willem nello scorso torneo).
If the Chicago Fire are to reach the playoffs and go on a postseason run this season, they will
have to do so without Marco Pappa.
The Guatemalan midfielder's transfer to Dutch club Heerenveen has been expedited, and he will
leave the Fire with immediate effect. The Fire had originally planned on sending Pappa to
Heerenveen following the conclusion of the MLS season after the transfer had been agreed upon
earlier this month.
The long-standing question of whether Marco Pappa would be leaving the Chicago Fire and heading
to Europe this season has finally been answered.
Yes, Pappa is heading to Europe, but no, he won't be leaving the Fire this season.
Chicago announced on Monday that Pappa had signed a pre-contract with Dutch Eredivisie side
Heerenveen, but that Pappa would remain with the Fire for the rest of the 2012 season, which will
run through the end of his current contract.
CHICAGO - Despite the change in scenery, it appears Michael Bradley won't have too much trouble
adjusting to life at AS Roma. The American midfielder, who signed with the club last week from
Serie A rival Chievo Verona in a $4.6 million transfer, picked up an assist in Roma's 4-0 win over
Polish club Zaglebie Lubin in front of 22,181 at Wrigley Field.
With the members of the Men's National Team playing on club teams all across the globe, it's
inevitable that they'll eventually have to play against some of their current or former teammates
in games with the USA. This trip has been no exception, as Carlos Bocanegra and Maurice Edu have
already faced some of their Rangers teammates in the game against Scotland.
WHAT SCORING PROBLEM? Clint Dempsey is the man. If there was ever a doubt of this, Deuce's
2011-12 campaign with Fullham has to put it to rest. With 22 goals in all competitions, and a
good chance of netting twenty in league play, Clint has shattered records for club and country.Â
His recent goals put him past Michael Bradley's 16 for Heerenveen in 2007, and into sole possession
of the highest scoring season by.
Clint Dempsey's pair against Bolton capped a big week for U.S. goalscorers abroad. Deuce now has 21
goals in all competitions, becoming the first American abroad to hit that mark since Michael
Bradley equaled that amount in the 2007-08 season with Heerenveen.
Clint scored both in Fulham's 2-0 win against Bolton, increasing his total to 15 goals in the
Premier League this season.
After a successful career that included stints at Manchester United and Real Madrid, Ruud van
Nistelrooy has announced his retirement. Nistelrooy will likely be considered one of the greatest
strikers ever with over 300 goals scored and top goalscorer awards in multiple leagues. He recently
finished this past season playing for Malaga and helped them finish in fourth to earn a UEFA
Champions League spot.
Feel free to cross Raul off the last of potential summer MLS arrivals.
The Spanish striker signed a one-year deal with Al Sadd in Qatar, signalling the next move in
his legendary career. Raul, who turns 35 next month, played two seasons with German club Schalke,
with his final match with the team coming at PPL Park in a friendly against the Philadelphia Union
last week.
I know you're all distracted by other things, but perhaps a distraction for your distractions? You
know the drill, here was the OG. On switching focus after falling out of the Champions League in
harsh circumstances:"We were a PK away from moving on in the Champions League and that was hard to
take for everyone.
In a short time, Mix Diskerud has made a major impact on his new team.
Diskerud scored his first goal since joining Rosenborg on loan from Stabaek, and it is one that
put Rosenborg in the UEFA Europa League group stage, as his beautiful 87th-minute, left-footed
volley from the top of the box gave the club a 2-1 victory (3-2 on aggregate) over Polish side
Legia Warsaw in the final qualifying round.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers will take a gamble on his fringe players on Thursday night as he
names a weakened side for the Europa League clash at Hearts.
The Reds head to Tynecastle for the first leg of their qualifying clash without the likes of
skipper Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez, Martin Skrtel and Glen Johnson.
In the winter break, Luciano Narsigh gave an interview to the VI. "I can reach Oranje" was the
headline. One month later, Bert van Marwijk and his staff picked the winger, with Twente winger Ola
John and AZ midfielder Maher for the preliminary Oranje squad.
