"I would like to do business, but only if the prices are right and that can be a problem in
January," Ferguson said today.
We have been 'warned off' Carlton Cole after reports in the papers reckoned we were ready to
part with £20m for the Chelsea reject. Don't get me wrong, he's doing a good job for West Ham this
season but Darren Bent is having a better time at Sunderland.

CSKA coach Luboslav Penev suspended a bunch of players on the team recently for late-night
partying.
Then the team went over his head and reinstated the guys.
Penev subsequently resigned and the team is not honoring it.
Craziness.

Kritik wird man nach diesem durchwachsenen 4:0 gegen Aserbaidschan ja wohl äußern dürfen. Auf
Neudeutsch nennt man sowas ja auch Feedback das klingt freundlicher. Außerdem wirkt das Ergebnis
auf denjenigen, der das Spiel nicht gesehen hat, auch zu gut. Deshalb gibts an dieser Stelle für
euch die Spieler noch einmal in der Doktor Fussball Einzelkritik.

It was over a year ago that SPAIN made the jump into the WorldFootball elite defeating GERMANY 1-0
in the Final of the EuropeanChampionships. The only goal came thanks to FERNANDO TORRESwho managed
to beat defender Lahm to "clip" the ball over the goalie & guide the ball into the net. Spain,

Another week, another rumor linking Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid. Will it
ever end? Not until he actually moves to Madrid, which can't happen soon enough for some. But,
until he moves, he'll still be popping up in our transfer news and rumors column, along with
several other tidbits from around England and Europe.

The fact that Bayern were thrashed by Wolfsburg is no comfort for Barcelona to the build up of this
match. As some of the Bayern players revealed, both are different type of games. Gerrard Pique
pointed out the important of keeping a clean sheet against Bayern to progress to the next stage.
But realistically speaking that could be one hell of a task.

Following this weekend's drubbing at the hands of Wolfsburg, Bayern come into the hardest tie of
the quarter finals of the Champion's League on a low. Can they overcome the humiliation at the VW
to get a result at Camp Nou against arguably the best team in Europe? Yes, they can.
Here's how.

Barcelona are stepping up their quest to tempt Franck Ribery and Philipp Lahm to join them in the
summer as Txiki Begiristain travelled to Munich to lay the foundations, if Sport Bild are to be
believed. According to the German weekly, Lahm is currently valued at €25 million and has a
contract until 2012, while [.

Germany 0-1 Spain. The chokers are no more. In a hard-fought but dominated battle in Vienna, La
Selección wiped all of their historical fears and under-achieving inhibitions away: one swift
movement (as swift as Fernando Torres's run behind Philipp Lahm, and swifter than his finishing
touch over Jens Lehmann) to swipe the European Cup right from [.

For months, forums and media sites have speculated enthusiastically that Bayern Munich and Germany
full back Philipp Lahm was a key transfer target of Sir Alex Ferguson. Lahm was seen by many as an
ideal replacement for a sometimes-shaky Wes Brown and injury-plagued Gary Neville in the right-back
position.

I just work up from a lengthy siesta after a raucous afternoon at The Globe Pub on Chicago's North
Side. A packed house, pretty well split in their allegiances, joined millions around the word in
watching Spain claim a 1-0 win over Germany for their first European crown since 1964.

Torres did really well to score his goal, with Lahm and Lehmann losing out.
Aragones took off Fabregas for Xabi Alonso. Xabi did ok while he was in there, but a better manager
would have found a way to keep Cesc on as he was growing into the game.
Iniesta once again looked like a great midfielder pushing forward.

A solid first half of football for both sides. Germany and Spain shared possession but Fernando
Torres proved too strong for Philipp Lahm, in what was one of the best displays of sheer will that
I've seen this tournament.
Torres, who was denied by the post on what was the other best chance of the first half, dug past
Lahm, and with power and determination, two strides later found the corner of Jens Lehmann's net.

The final! Will Spain throw off the mantle of underachiever? Will Germany triumph, sending the
momentum of its fans gained during the World Cup into a frenzy?
Funny how Foudy talks about how goalkeepers need games to be sharp in reference to Jens Lehmann.
Foudy didn't say anything like that when saying she wouldn't want to play in front of Hope Solo
after Solo protested getting replaced at the Women's World Cup by Scurry, who had hardly played.

Expect David Villa not to be in the line up, the Valencia striker has a muscle tear in his thigh
and has been ruled out.
Expect Cesc Fabregas to start. Arsenal's maestro has been having quite a tournament
Expect Michael Ballack to be a gametime decision.
Expect a foul filled initial 20 minutes as the Germans try and break the rhythm of the free

EURO 2008 FINAL, VIENNA
The destination of the Henri Delaunay trophy could hinge on the fitness of Germany captain Michael
Ballack, who has a calf strain and missed Saturday training.
Tournament hot-shot David Villa is of course also missing for Spain, but the absence of the Chelsea
midfielder for Germany looks the more crucial.

The "Save Jogi" Campaign would like to take this opportunity to thank Philipp Lahm for his last
minute goal which eased the pressure on the Germany coach.
Before the goal which sent Germany into the final, Jogi was looking like he was about to explode -
which would have made the DFB's job a lot easier had Turkey struck a winner of their own.

against a Turkish said with indomitable will. In the end, it was not enough for Turkey as the fell

Yeah, I know, where was I first half? Duty and the paying job called. Now I'm back - just in time
to catch Davies making a horrid "Thanksgiving in Turkey" pun. Eeach. Foudy does a better

Germany 1-0 AustriaIt wasn't exactly an inspiring victory, but Germany have booked their place in the quarter-finals
with this win. They've made hard work of what should have been an easy group, but now it's time for
them to really get their act together for the knock-out stages. They did at least look much more
solid defensively here, although that's kind of hard to judge against a team as goal-shy as
Austria.

Just after Germany's Germany's loss to Croatia, coach Jogi Löw told the press they "would see a
different team on the pitch" against Austria, and many took that to mean that he'd be ringing in
the changes to the starting 11.
Perhaps the disappointing Mario Gomez would be left out in favor of Lukas Podolski, whose place on
the Left wing would perhaps be taken over by Thomas Hitzlsperger.
