Stephen Warnock is being touted as the answer to the England left back problem. The Villa defender
almost certainly doesn't shag his team mates' partners or share exotic photos on his mobile.
However, since he breaks the same leg every three months, the chances of him lasting a full season
are slim. Not so, says Stilian Petrov, who doesn't think any of this matters.

Well, all I can say is we were lucky. PAO had a few incredible chances to score a few goals but
were either stopped by the post or Arabatzis. But, they never should have won in the first round
against us so it's all good
We started without Makos which was great news. Our starting XI was Arabatzis, Araujo,
Majstorovic, Geraldo, Karabelas, Manduca, Kafes, Jahic, Blanco, Scocco, and Djebbour.

Thursday January 7, 2010 was the official start date of the next professional soccer team in
Minnesota.
The former top team was the Minnesota Thunder who started in 1990, but for all intents and purposes
are now just a part of history.
The National Sports Center in the northern suburb of Blaine has stepped forward to start a team and
have them play in the newly formed USSF Division 2 league.

So our players went into this game after the first half of what has been the worst season in
AEK's history. Few fans were expecting such a win and such a pleasing performance from our boys.
But, they pulled it off (whether the 150,000 Euro bonus they were promised helped at all I dont
know) and we have begun the new decade with a fantastic win!

Be honest, you'd forgotten entirely about the Under 17 World Cup and that's if you were aware of
its running in the first place. We'll also accept admissions from those who confused it with the
Under-20 World Cup (Lite) in Egypt won late last month by Ghana.
But it happened, and Switzerland yes, Switzerland took home the trophy, their first of any kind
in FIFA territory, from Lagos against what had to be the heavily favored and exceedingly overaged
hometown Nigerians.

TORONTO - Soccer, Futbol, Football - whatever you'd like to call it - is a global game that bridges
gaps between people, and unifies them around something so passionate, that they can forget their
troubles or quarrels if only for 90 minutes. It is 'the world's sport' and its reach reigns through
every country, in every continent.

I love a World Cup (any World Cup) for the rare opportunity of putting whole imagined nations on
public display. Though the main event in South Africa is still eight months away, one junior
version (U-20) just finished in Egypt and another (U-17) is just about to begin in Nigeria.

One final friendly loss for our team before our first Europa League match against Vaslui.
Below is the video of our goal, scored by Leonardo although it deflected of a number of
players.
A 3-1 loss at this point really isn't the most encouraging result but it must be pointed out
that the squad playing today was largely a B-Team.

The big finale of the 2009 Torneo Clausura has seen its first act played out with a late winner for
visitors Lanús in Tucumán and a victory for the hosts in La Plata which see Gimnasia La Plata
secure a relegation playoff spot ahead of San MartÃn de Tucumán, who go straight down to B [...]

I thought I would higlight an interview done recently by my friend Kartik Krishnaiyer over at
Major League Soccer Talk. Kartik interivewed Misha Sher, a name I really wasn't very familiar with
but some Minnesotan's who have been involved with the game for a while may know.
Misha moved from the Ukraine to Minnesota back in the early 90's playing youth soccer here and
spending time on Minneosta ODP teams.
