The first couple of days of the Beach Soccer World Cup have delivered quite a lot of tits and ass action... as you can now see by the new thumbnail gallery feature I've finally enabled... yay me! Anyway, I've even thrown in a highlight of last nights humiliating 8-1 drubbing ... Click to continue reading...

Yes, that is a serious question. Two players who 'offer more than just goals' as strikers. But how much more? Who would you rather have? Fortunately a member of the Football365 Forum (lol tb x) has done the analysis for us. Read on to see who comes out on top...

A comparison of their goals and assists since Tevez came here:

This is obviously an area where Tevez should win by a margin having played with some of the best players in the world.

As I'm just a little flat-out again, here are some previews from the very talented staff at the Central Coast Mariners and Canberra United to read while I get my own stuff happening. Well written and interesting, thanks both Joseph (Mariners) and Chris (Canberra).
Washington to Central Coast – Golebiowski leading Mariners cause

The dream of each Australian female footballer is to play at the highest level and represent the Matildas at a World Cup, and for the lucky few that get the chance to don the Green and Gold, the feeling is immense. Click to continue reading...

The official Ligue 1 website is proclaiming Sunday's 10 goal thriller between Lyon and Marseille to be "The Game of the Century!" and while that statement is weighed by a tremendous amount of hyperbole, they may not be completely off base. Though the game ended without a true winner at 5-5, insanity prevailed in a number of ways that can hardly be conveyed in a short clip of just the goals, so revel in the extended highlights included above (for now, at least).

Former Valencia and Zaragoza defender Fernando Caceres was shot in the head Sunday morning in his homeland of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Caceres remains in grave condition with a bullet wound to the brain.  The former Argentina national squad member was the victim of a car jacking and he apparently refused to exit his BMW at the time of the crime.

I'll get A few things up later, but for now, things are still accumulating nicely... Let's start with Denny Landzaat's classy Kakkerlakken consolation from yesterday. The trick is, you must watch through the entire highlight package to see it. You had to know I was gonna allude to this match somehow. Click to continue reading...

Hajduk Split have had a terrible start to the season in Croatia, especially by their elite standards, sitting 14 points behind leaders Dinamo Zagreb after 12 games up until this weekend. Fan anger though with no reports of any incidents or threats prompted police to step-up security during training and at matches this week.

That could not have gone much better. We may have answered some questions today. For one thing, of our previous 6 wins, they have all been over bottom half of the table clubs. We just beat a club sitting 4th in the table, and we did so convincingly. It was also great, given our recent struggles holding onto leads, to see Arsenal finish off a game instead of sitting on the lead, we grew stronger and more dominant as the game went along.

St. Pat's attacker Ryan Guy fired an early second half decider for a 2-1 win at Drogheda United.The proud new papa celebrated with his fifth goal of the season, giving the Saints a shot at avoiding the relegation playoff in next Friday's closing day visit from Shamrock Rovers.As always, we cross our fingers hoping that the St. Click to continue reading...

Real Madrid's 0-4 calamity at Alcorcan, a wee club from the suburbs of the same city, is my highlight of the week. Oh to have been an ADA fan that night! Here's the awesome fortress of the Santo Domingo (cap. 4,000) and the Real lineup that made history: Dudek; Arbeloa, Albiol, Metzelder, Drenthe; Diarra, Guti (Gago 46'), Van der Vaart, Granero (Marcelo 63'); Raúl (Van Nistelrooy 72'), Click to continue reading...

For those of you who haven't seen the highlights of Saturday's game the best we cna do is show you the Kevin's winning goal as part of the Championship highlight reel.

Bent's quizzical reaction to his "beach ball" goal highlight vs. Liverpool
Sunderland striker Darren Bent will miss tomorrow's Carling Cup tie against Aston Villa through injury.
Bent is suffering from what is described only as a "slight knee injury" but Sunderland fans (or the thousands of fantasy football managers who own him) may be a bit more nervous about this slight knee injury when they check out Bent's past medical history. Click to continue reading...

It wasn't a classic by any stretch, but a 1-1 is a result I'm quite content to leave Selhurst Park with. And let's face it, leaving that place is always a highlight! Whilst the Reds probably enjoyed the lion's share of possession, chances were limited so it was no small relief to see David McGoldrick get [. Click to continue reading...

Inter beat Genoa 5-0 on Saturday, with Dejan Stanković's volley from the halfway line (above) easily the highlight. Genoa keeper Marco Amelia had attempted to clear the ball upfield in first half stoppage time but scuffed it straight to Stanković, who needed just one touch to send it back over Amelia's head and into the [.

There are times when being a football supporter is a thoroughly dreadful experience. There are times when it feels like fate has ripped your heart out of your chest, stomped on it, and then done a little dance on it. These times are called losing. If you are lucky these times only occur a bit less than half of the time. Click to continue reading...

Relegated Newcastle United are remain on top of the English Football League Championship table after 11 rounds of matches. Championship powerhouse West Bromwich Albion and Middlesbrough remain in hot pursuit for the top spot.

The inroads of the English Premier League into broadband culture continue, as highlights from the Premier League are now available on Hulu free of charge, via Fox Soccer Channel. Coinciding with that, highlights from the Champions League are up as well.

With it's own channel, fans can access two minute highlight reels of all premier league matches from that particular weekend and Goals of the Week segments.

Sounds bizarre, but apparently it happened.
And apparently this media guy (or the guy who cut the highlight) thinks this save by the goalkeeper is just as newsworthy.
Craziness all around. Click to continue reading...

I was just settling down to watch the action and "bam" -Beckham waltzed in to open the scoring while the game was very young. Up until that flurry of LA's, Toronto had looked promising. Julian de Guzman had plenty of time on the ball and he did not look like he was surrounded by strangers.
Toronto highlight of the first half was Gerba's close range shot that LA keeper Ricketts stopped. Click to continue reading...

The highlight of the match was Wayne Rooney's reaction to being substituted by Michael Owen. There was also a laser used by a fan which targeted Jonny Evans. Otherwise it was a humdrum match with Man Utd being bottled up quite well by Besiktas till the Paul Scholes goal.

We now have 11 teams in the World Cup 2010 field, with European kings Spain cruising in and Paraguay compounding Argentina's woes as they punch their ticket.

Numerologists will tell you that the date 9-9-09 is special. Â Sounds a bit far fetched, but maybe strikers believe it.

With this weekend's international break, there's not been much world class footie on this week. So why not revisit one of the more memorable games from the weekend gone by?

In celebration of Asian Referees' Day on September 1, S.League will be issuing special ‘Green Cards' to promote fair play, good manners and safeguarding the environment.

With referees more known for brandishing yellow and red cards for on-field offences, the green card has the opposite effect with the aim of promoting the positive side of football and its related activities.

The last 10-15 minutes of regular time and stoppage time was amazing. It was totally frantic and United supporters were rewarded with a goal at the end of regulation. I was actually telling my wife that the set play off of that free kick should have been to fake it at goal and just slot it to Simms who was faking that run anyway. Click to continue reading...

Most Valuable Player

Lionel Messi is flat out the best player in all of the world in one critic's opinion. Last season was a nonstop highlight reel for the forward, winger, and midfielder. Messi not only was a valuable member of the treble winning Barca squad, but the Argentine forward also was the leading goal scorer for the Champions League as well.
