It's usually Real Madrid defender Pepe inflicting pain on others but this time he's on the
receiving end, after clashing with his own keeper Iker Casillas as Valencia equalise to add insult
to injury. Both men played on, however Pepe spent the night in Hospital before being released
today.
Poor Santos and his savage heart... so much passion!Those of you who frequent
this site... hello you three... know that Monday is reserved for our STARTING 11 feature but as
there is an unusual Tuesday fixture this week it's "Buy None - Get Two Free" today. All of the

you have to tolerate!
Their Words "If you speak to managers, they'll say the best keepers aren't those that make 10 great
saves in a game, it's the ones who make one or two." Everton defender Phil Jagielka. Other Sources
Dream dies for Toronto FC - from The Toronto Sun's Ryan Wolstat: To add insult to injury, the hosts
added another just prior to the final whistle.
Week 4 of MLS action saw two league leaders fall and one come back on the road. The Revolution
handed the Galaxy a defeat to put them in last place of the Western Conference while Real Salt Lake
climbed back to win against Portland. San Jose gave Seattle all they can handle and suddenly out of
nowhere the New York Red Bulls impressed.
If Les Bleues feel robbed today it's in the way you do after leaving the doors to the house
unlocked and the windows wide open. They took the early lead with two quick, confident and gorgeous
goals from Gaëtane Thiney and Marie-Laure Delie.

Led by braces from Alex Morgan and Abby Wambach, the United States cruised to a 4-1 victory over
Japan in a friendly in Halmstad, Sweden on Monday. The result ended the U.S. team's tour of Sweden
at 2-0-0 with seven goals scored.
Abby Wambach celebrates the game tying goal.Highs and lows came at a gut-wrenching pace, but an
emotional roller coaster doesn't even begin to capture the Women's World Cup quarterfinal match
between the Samba Queens of Brazil and United States Women's National Team was no exception. Fans
of the USWNT were ecstatic when Daiane put the ball into her own net off a cross by Shannon Boxx,
then livid when Rachel Buehler was sent off in the 65' for a foul in the box on Marta.
Forget his fleet-footed dribbling and dazzling ball skills, Neymar showed just what a
magnificent cheating diver he is against Gremio recently, flying in the air and then feigning
serious injury after he was touched by nothing but fresh Brazilian air (Santos won the game 4-2, by
the way).
On this week's podcast, OTP took a light-hearted look a Tevez' golf swing goal celebration against
Norwich. While we gave the Argentine's action a brief analysis – deciding he was working a "soft
fade" – Sky Sports have gone a fair few steps further in their observations. Dimply-ball smashing
expert Simon Holmes provided a rather [.
West Bromwich Albion 1-2 Wigan Athletic Premier League 10th December 2011
Roberto Martinez and his Wigan side made it seven points from their last four Premier League
games after coming from behind to win at the Hawthorns on Saturday.
We all know what happened. On Sunday night any hopes Milan had of retaining their domestic crown
were dashed. To add insult to injury, the final blow came from city rivals Inter. To add yet
further insult, it was the second time they had done so this season – and this year. Milan end

And to add insult to injury Anthony Modeste was given his marching orders in the 88th minute having
been on the field less than ten minutes.
There's not been a day gone by since his controversial sacking that OTP hasn't wondered what Mick
McCarthy is up to. A man who shirked sassy scarves and manipulative mind games, Mick was a noble
no-nonsense bloke for whom we have always held a candle. It's not a sexual thing, but admittedly we
would feel nice [.
When your down at the bottom you need all the luck you can muster and it proved Bolton had it

Hibernian striker Garry O' Connor (28) was in hiding last night after the 16 times
capped Scottish striker was accused of failing a drugs test in 2009/10 while
playing for Birmingham City in the Premier League.
And to add insult to injury it is alleged that O'Connor was also charged with fraud after his
£100,000 Ferrari was mysteriously found crashed a few short miles from his home a few months
ago.
Arsenal 0-2 Liverpool | Premier League match report
For the second week in succession Arsenal had a man sent off and failed to score a goal, but for
Arsène Wenger at the moment it never rains but it pours. Just as a patched-together Arsenal side
seemed likely to hold out for another draw, a freakish own goal handed Liverpool three points they
barely deserved.

All this week's stories come from the opening fixtures of the English Premier League. You can
listen to these and other stories on our weekly podcast and can find explanations of key vocabulary
in bold below.
Philadelphia Union will be coming into town this Saturday to face the Fire. This home opener should
also be the first time that Arne Friedrich and Rafael Robayo get time during a league game. I would
think that Frank Klopas will probably start the same lineup with the possible exception of, the
aforementioned.

A few months ago, everything was going swimmingly for City. All they seemingly had to do was to
show up for win after lopsided win. But then there was a gradual slide in theor fortunes. At the
end of January their season is but a litany of thwarted ambitions. Out of the Champions League in
December and by last week, the Carling Cup and the FA Cup, their accelerated program to win the
Premiership title seems to have hit a wall and in danger of being snatched by those other pesky
Mancunians and the upstart Spurs.
Highs and lows came at a gut-wrenching pace, but an emotional roller coaster doesn't even begin

own net off a cross by Shannon Boxx, then livid when Rachel Buehler was sent off in the 65′

Not a bad way to start things off for Robbie Keane in Los Angeles.
 A new chapter was written into the storied and intense California Clasico rivalry. A first
half strike from the latest big-name acquisition into MLS that was set up by the man that started
this whole Designated Player thing.

Watch Bouna Condoul fumble a run of the mill grab of a corner and gift the ball to Ryan
Stephenson for San Jose Earthquakes equalizer. Last weekend he was similarly embarrassed when he
completely flubbed Marco Pappa's soft shot on goal.
Condoul's horrifically incompetent goalkeeping is a seamless transition from his predecessor
Greg Sutton's equally inept performance.
A record crowd of 41,028 watched as the Earthquakes threw away two points
against the Red Bulls who scored with five minutes left on the clock and to add insult to injury
the Earthquakes had defender Bobby Burling sent off in injury time for a second yellow card.

Good afternoon! The Red Bulls are back in MLS action today vs the San Jose Earthquakes (10:30pm ET,
ESPN2). The Earthquakes usually play @Buckshaw Stadium (pictured above) but they moved this match
to the much larger Stanford Stadium. As of yesterday, 30,000 tickets had been sold, so it should be
a fantastic atmosphere.
If you are somehow dead inside and don't feel sympathy for axed Southampton boss Nigel Atkins, youcertainlymust now. In one of his last acts before leaving the Saints training ground for the last time, the 47-year-old penned this farewell message on a changing room whiteboard. After being put out on his backside despite two [.
If you've been looking for La Liga or Serie A programming on GolTV or Fox Soccer Channel, you've
been out of luck. Upstart Al Jazeera owned network beINSport has obtained the U.S. broadcast rights
for both.
The problem is beINSport is only available in the U.S.on DirecTV and Dish Network. Needless to
say this has provoked much consternation among U.
File this one under the category: most likely to attract choice commentary from Seattle Sounders
supporters.
As the Sounders-less MLS First Kick fast approaches, we here at Stumptown Footy are spooling up
the statistical analysis drives in preparation for the 2012 campaign. Lacking much in the way of
hard data so far, with just one preseason match under our belt, we've decided to start with the
schedule.
The last time we reported from Kettering Town, the club was at the point of being on its knees.
With the whole team having been put on the transfer list, they lost five players on loan deadline
day, only to see three replacements having their transfers to the club cancelled after the club was
placed under a transfer embargo.
The Rapids traveled to Chicago on Saturday, but everyone might have been better served by Colorado
forfeiting the game and staying home for the rest. A 2-0 loss where Colorado was outplayed and
out-hustled all night wasn't any better than the 3-0 forfeit score line and added rest would have
been.
I'd break down the play and the goals, but honestly they're what you would expect for a tried Mile
High Club.
