Columbus loses 4-2 on aggregate to Real Salt Lake. It was a great season, boys. Maybe not Massive, but not anything to be ashamed of.

None of us expected this, no one thought it was possible. The Crew always performs under pressure. Columbus always gets the clutch goal or Jesus-save that it needs to stay alive.

Todos sabemos que em alguns jogos de futebol os nervos andam por ali à solta. Todos sabemos que existe uma relação "especial" entre Manuel Machado e Jorge Jesus. Mas o que todos também sabemos, é que era perfeitamente evitável este nível de discussão pública. Não lhes fica bem, e seria exigível um comportamento mais adequado aos responsáveis técnicos de duas equipas bem posicionadas na nossa Liga e que representam Portugal na Liga Europa, portanto, clubes com responsabilidades acrescidas.

Carlo Ancelotti back in Italy during the international break, has provided the pen pushers with some ammunition with some comments he has made to a popular Italian TV Show. Carlo was on the same show that Jose' had compared himself to "Jesus" and when asked about it Carlo said: "I don't know the special one, and if he thinks he is Jesus, I am certainly not one of his disciples!

Congratulations, because you are currently looking at the greatest picture ever taken. Why? The Eyebrow. The way Carlo Ancelotti casually gazes upon the nubile dancer before him was surely enough to melt her focus on the routine and transport her to a hazy realm of passion and lust. The Eyebrow is simply too overwhelming to resist.

Many have been mesmerized by the sensual dancers on Italian TV show Chiambretti Night, but no one enjoyed it as much as Uncle Carlo! We don't know what's going on "behind" but someone bring a bucket of water, per favore!

Also, Chelski's coach has made it clear that he does not want to be on the same table as Jose Mourinho if UEFA ever decides to hold one of those awkward gala dinners that Pele ever so enjoys.

.Real Madrid felt the absence of Christiano Ronaldo, as they suffered a comprehensive 2-1 defeat at the hands of rivals Sevilla at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Sevilla lived up to the expectation of the players in Los Galácticos and completely outplayed the touring side. This loss not only took apart the 100 percent win record [.

Background: Blanco is like Neil Diamond. You either love him or you hate him. Either way, you can't deny that he is one heck of a soccer player. The man was born to play the game. He even has a juke move named after him ("the Cuautemiña"), which makes him a living legend.

Is Judas returning to, erm, Jesus? Have stranger things happened? This time I am unsure. Former England centre half Sol Campbell caused more than a few headlines earlier this season when he agreed to join Sven Goran Eriksson's mega-rich Notts County. But after just one rather disappointing appearance in the 2-1 defeat at Morecambe, Campbell could [. Click to continue reading...

Tenho apreciado a atitude e a qualidade do trabalho de Jorge Jesus. Sem procurar colocar-se em bicos de pés, está a construir uma equipa em todas as suas vertentes. Este é um exemplo de capacidade de liderança.
O Ruben é um menino
Assim que o jogo acabou, Ruben Amorim saiu em passo apressado rumo ao túnel, mas foi impedido de sair pelo técnico-adjunto, Minervino Pietra, que procurou acalmá-lo e o fez juntar-se aos companheiros na despedida aos adeptos. Click to continue reading...

No. Quite the opposite.

Chelsea supporters know all too well the defensive contribution made by one Didier Drogba. What we weren't aware of was the Drogs' Jesus-like view of himself in this light.

Argentina needs a big win today to have a chance at world cup qualificaiotn and for Maradona to remain as the coach.
As for Maradona's coaching, it is pretty obvoius that the Messi, Aguero & Tevez combinations have not been very productinve in terms of goals. The only good change he has done so far is let Jesus Datolo play as his wingman. Click to continue reading...

.Brazil have beaten Argentina 3-1 in Rosario to qualify for next year's World Cup finals. The first half was played at a breathless pace. Brazil took the lead in the 24th minute, Elano's free kick being headed home by Benfica centre-back Luisao. The Selacao doubled their lead in the 30th minute. Elano's free-kick being blocked, [.

The Argentinian defense goes to sleep as they fail to mark Luisao who heads home Elano's free kick. Then Luis Fabiano scores as Mariano Andujar fails to collect cleanly. Jesus Datolo responds with a blistering left footed shot from 30 yards out. Argentina are back in it again. But a minute later Kaka threads a devilishly clever pass to Luis Fabiano who outraces the lone Argentinian defender and scores.
