There is nothing like diving. An art hated by many, appreciated by some, it's a part of football
whether we like it or not. So until it's eradicated from the game, I am providing fans a new wave
of classifying a dive. A fool proof system to help you identify the severity of the transgression
committed when our favorite footballers decide to cheat.

Looks like if some Liverpool fans are given the powers, they will sack Rafa Benitez immediately.
The reason? Because we are not at the top of the table at the moment, we have not won all the games
we have played so far this season, and we have not won our games by a 5 goals margin, all scored
from 20 yards I suppose.

One of the good things about not having a crowded fixture list this season is that when we win,
there's more time to bask in the warm nourishing glow of victory. It's a great feeling, something
which Spurs fans have frankly not been accustomed to over the years. The reservations expressed in
my match report [.

2008 beendete Oliver Kahn seine Karriere. Die Nachfolge im Tor des FC Bayern wurde bereits zuvor
dem damals hoffnungsvollen Talent Michael Rensing versprochen. Doch Michael Rensing schien mit dem
Druck nicht wirklich klar zu kommen; und patzte immer wieder. Vor dem Spiel in der Champions-League
gegen den FC Barcelona degradierte ihn dann sein damaliger Trainer zur Nummer Zwei – und der
vorherige Ersatztorhüter Hans-Jörg Butt durfte das Tor der Bayern hüten.

Three spaces left, but still a number of contenders for the list of 20 Spurs Cult Heroes. Still
looking for the players who achieved legendary status amongst us fans for what they did at the club
– so put forward your argument for (or indeed against) the inclusion of any of these:
Pat Jennings, John White, Alfie Conn, Bill Brown, Sandy Brown, Cyril Knowles, Ralph Coates, Gary
Lineker, Steffen Freund, Teddy Sheringham.

Nisan ayında artık dayanılamaz duruma gelmiş, Bayern'in aciz duruma düştüğü bir başka
maçtan sonra Klinsmann ile Bayern'in yolları ayrılmıştı. Aslında Bayern gibi bir kulüp
için sezon bitmeden hoca göndermek pek alışılagelmiş bir şey değildi ama sabırtaşı
çatlamıştı o vakit.

"They're always going to be the better team, right? It's just for us about going out
and trying to give a good showing of ourselves because the best team doesn't always win. Today it
did." - Tim Howard, USA Goalkeeper
I don't think anyone doubts that.

Some questions that haven't left my mind since last night.
- If we fail to win against Honduras, do we can Bradley immediately and use the Confederations
and Gold Cups as the getting-to-know you period for a new coach?
- Is only getting 6-7 points out of a possible 18 enough justification to can a coach during
qualifying?

Völlig überraschend verlässt Martin Jol den HSV, das melden verschiedene Medien. Demnach soll
er zu Ajax Amsterdam wechseln, die in der nächsten Saison wie Hamburg im UEFA-Cup starten werden.
Grund ist offenbar ein zerrüttetes Verhältnis zu Bernd Hoffmann. Jol sieht wohl die Perspektiven
gefährdet, da in nicht so großem Maße in neue Spieler investiert werden soll, wie er es sich
vorgestellt hat.

That was actually the most painful thing in the matter, that you had the feeling you would have
been able to finish this job. I would have been able to lead the team to the championship.
Jürgen Klinsmann in an interview on German TV.
Should Bayern fail to win the title on Saturday, Jupp Heynckes will have a lot of explaining to
do then, I guess.

A bitter loss for Werder Bremen in the UEFA-Cup final yesterday, as they were defeated 2-1 by
Schachtjor Donezk in extra-time. Without players like Diego, Per Mertesacker or Hugo Almeida,
Bremen hoped to get through the extra 30minutes and into the penalty shoot-up while having with Tim
Wiese an excellent goalkeeper between the posts.

Dzeko cuts a heroic figure
In the alternate world of The True Table or www.wahretabelle.de if referees were perfect, then
Bayern would have leapfrogged over Stuttgart and Wolfsburg to a comfortable Bundesliga title. Cold
comfort for Juergen Klinsmann indeed.
What do we get out of this exercise in keeping tabs on refereeing blunders.

German greatest, Bayern Munich seem to have finally found what they were
looking for these last few weeks as they have announced a big, experienced name to come to the hot
bench of underachieving team. Louis Van Gaal is expected to make a radical cut to
the club and he will have the chance to do so starting July 1st.

Il dopo Klinsmann ha il profumo dei tulipani e della terra olandese. Rummenigge si affida a Louis
Van Gaal per rinverdire gli antichi fasti della societ bavarese.
L'esperienza e una carriera di tutto rispetto. Così si presenta il 57enne tecnico, ex Barcellona
ed Ajax (per citare le due societ più prestigiose da lui allenate), in pista nel mondo del
calcio dal lontano 1986, che ha firmato un contratto di due anni con i tedeschi, a partire dal
primo luglio prossimo.

Should Bayern Munich have let him go? If his plan was to continue with the same basic team and add
a few players then the answer is yes, but if he was going to over hall the team be allowed to do it
according to his vision then the answer is no. It doesn't really matter obviously because Klinsmann
is gone and even if he had the German Under-16 team playing for Bayern the expectation was still
that he should win the championship, make a run in Europe, and confirm Bayern's status as one of
the top clubs in the world.

With the Barca vs Real El Clasico, the world comes to an end.
But the real news is that the Galaxy finally won thus closing out employment opportunities for
Juergen Klinsmann to take over Bruce Arena. Or not? The Galaxy won against the equally inept Red
Bulls, 1-0.
Arena also won the "which manager would end his zero win record" sweepstakes.

Suddenly everything is as it's supposed to be. Bayern wins again, not beautifully but in an
old-fashioned and rational kind of way. 2-1 against Borussia Mönchengladbach which is struggling
badly now in order to stay in the Bundesliga. But that's not the topic although the new Bayern
coach has a strong connection to his former club.

Tras la destitución de Jürgen Klinsmann y después de que Jupp Heynckess tomara las riendas

As expected, Toronto FC has named Chris Cummins as the team's interim head coach.
Cummins has manned the sidelines for TFC's past two matches, both victories, and takes over for
the rest of the year for John Carver, who resigned last week.
What do you think of the decision? Was it a no-brainer?

Yesterday German news channels were reporting non-stop about the sudden, yet somewhat expected
end of Klinsmann's reign at Bayern Munich. Self-styled pundits were only briefly interrupted by
news snippets of potential new swine flu cases, followed by a statement of the leader of the
Green/Labour/whatever party on, well, Klinsmann.

That was the target and the leitmotif Jürgen Klinsmann tried to establish in Munich at the
beginning of his tenure. This, of course, happened not once. Actually quite the contrary. One
example: The defensive line of the 07/08 Bundesliga year has received 21 goals throughout the whole
season, an account which the current defense managed to reach after only 14 games.

Well, the story of the weekend would have been about Wolfsburg finally losing after a ten-match
winning streak and missing out on the record by one game. Alternatively, you could spin it another
way, and make the story about the victors, Cottbus. Their stunning 2-0 win comes just one week
after they were humiliated at Schalke and the club refunded their travelling supporters for the
price of their tickets.

We knew it was coming. It was only a matter of when.
With so much talent, Bayern Munich has certainly underachieved this season. The loss to Barcelona
in the Champions League was embarrassing but forgivable.
Being third in the Bundesliga behind Wolfsburg and Hertha Berlin was the kicker.

The Juergen Klinsmann era at Bayern Munich is over.
The German champions have fired Klinsmann, ending his two-year tenure with the club as Bayern
Munich sits in third place in the Bundesliga standings. He has been replaced temporarily by Jupp
Heynckes.
Klinsmann was regarded as one of the top young coaches in the game after guiding the German
national team to third place in the 2006 World Cup.

I'm pretty sure Prost didn't break the story, but that's where I read it first, so he gets the
credit from me.
The story, of course, is the de-Bayernification of Juergen Klinsmann. Who the hell is John Carver?

Who blew the Stones clean off the Rock and Roll Circus.

(Bayern Monaco-Shalke 0-1. Altintop)
Klinsmann saluta Monaco e la Baviera. La sconfitta contro lo Shalke 04 (0 a 1 in casa, rete
decisiva di Altintop) ha fatto traboccare il vaso e l'allenatore del Bayern ha ricevuto il ben
servito presidenziale. In panchina da domani ci sar Jupp Heynckes (al ritorno al Bayern, vinse
due scudetti tra il 1987 e il 1991).
