Unbeaten going into the game, ten-man Stoke stumbled to defeat in Turkey in their final Group E game, though it mattered little with them having already booked their place in the knockout phase courtesy of a draw against Dinamo Kiev last time out.

Disappointing midweek arrived for English teams in their Europa League campaign, Fulham have to forget their European ambition as they're journey ended on Wednesday after only picking up a point against Odense BK.

Meanwhile, Stoke City suffered their first defeat in the competition but still secure their passage into the next round although that loss relegated the Potters into runners up position behind Besiktas.

I said, it could be done and Besiktas did it!
Besiktas beat, unbeaten Stoke City 3-1 and claim the top spot in the group E and earned a spot in the round 32 of Europa league..
They,prett much did the damege to Stoke in the second half, after going down in the first half.

The Turkish Süper Lig has finally got under way over the last weekend following extensive investigations into match-fixing. Last season's champions Fenerbahçe scraped a 1-0 home win against Ordurspor last night whilst both of their arch-rivals Beşiktaş and Galatasaray experienced losing starts to the campaign going down to Eskişehirspor and Istanbul BB respectively.

It wasn't supposed to be like this for Beşiktaş.

After stealing the transfer headlines in Turkey last summer and this past winter, Beşiktaş looked to have a team that would not only contend for the Turkish Super League title, but perhaps win the title by a very comfortable margin. After the transfers of Hugo Almeida, Simao Sabrosa, and the loan of Manuel Fernandes right before the second half of the season started, there was talk of Beşiktaş possibly winning every match in the second half of the season.

Hey, look at that a horrible sitter miss. Quelle surprise.

But doesn't it appear these have seemed to reach epidemic levels? Someone's always been banging on about "the worst miss evah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", yet they're rarely worthy of such lofty status. Recently, however, I've been inclined to agree with a good number starting with that poor, poor Marlon de Jesus.

GENEVE, Switzerland Lionel Messi scored a 90th-minute penalty to give Argentina a 2-1 win over Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal in the first international meeting of the two players on Wednesday. Two-time world player of the year Messi also was the dominating early influence and set up Angel di Maria to give Argentina a 14th-minute lead.

With Argentina taking on Portugal in Geneva on Wednesday afternoon/evening, and the world's press (and especially, it would seem, the Argentina, Portuguese and Spanish media) pushing the fixture as a battle between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, I thought it ... Continue reading →

At last Hugo Almeida, Simao, and Manuel Fernandes made their debut for Turkish club Besiktas and came away with a solid 5-1 victory. And who else but Simao got on the score sheet in his first game! Hugo Almeida also got the start, and played a pretty decent game as a lot of the offense went through him, and Manuel Fernandes was a second half substitute, but he also had a pretty good showing.
