En 1954 el ucraniano Eduard Dubinski (Едуард Дубинський en ucraniano o אדוארד
דבּ סקי, tal su nombre judío) arrancó su carrera como primer defensor central en el
Lokomotiv Kharkiv, el equipo de su ciudad natal. Al año siguiente pasó al ODO Kiev, en 1956 al
ODO Sverdlovsk hasta que en el '57 se incorporó al CSKA Moscú, en la capital soviética.
El Balón de Oro (en francés,
Ballon d'Or) era un premio individual que desde 1956 otorgaba
anualmente la revista France Football al mejor jugador europeo y que jugaban en Europa. A partir de
1995 se amplió a todos los futbolistas que actuaban en torneos europeos y desde 2007 el Balón de
Oro pasó a premiar al mejor jugador del planeta.
Just when I had considered giving up on Father Christmas altogether, he fills my stocking with
dropped points by all of Chelski, l'Arse, Liverpool and even Man City. And – and - he
even un-twinges VDV's hamstring. I'm not sure there has ever been a Christmas quite like it.
No reason not to expect another high-class performance, missed chances a-plenty and ultimately
three more points tonight.
Given that today is 11/11/11 and the conveniently equivalent number per team on a football
pitch, Marca decided to put up a discussion piece of the greatest XI players in a laid-back 3-4-3.
And despite having an unapologetic Real-bent, they've got two players from the current incarnation
of Barcelona.
Football Team of the Decade: 1960s - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
The 1960s just might be football's golden decade. George Best, Garrincha, Pele in his prime and
much much more. Recently on the Total Soccer Show podcast, we picked our starting XI from the
1960s. None of of us were alive back then, but thanks to television, YouTube and brilliant books
like Jonathan Wilson's Inverting the Pyramid, we were able to weigh the various options at
each position and argue out the perfect starting XI to represent 10 of the most glorious years in
the history of the beautiful game.
Champagne, bags of bank notes and Adidas balls: these were amongst the gifts Macedonian Blagoje
Vidinić received during his African odyssey in the early 1970s.
This was a man who presided over the joint-worst World Cup performance of all time, but also a
man who as a goalkeeper had once rivaled Lev Yashin in many eyes, who had played in Los Angeles,
San Diego, St Louis in a pioneering era of American soccer; a man who as coach took two African
countries to unprecedented heights and managed to change the course of world sporting history, by
tipping off Horst Dassler just in time for the Adidas head to back the right man in the 1974 FIFA
presidential election.

I would have imagined that Ronnie Whelan was watching the Euro 1988 final with his friends or
family and reflecting back on his great year, great Euro, and most important, his great goal that
would be undoubtedly win the memory of the world as 'goal of the tournament'.
Ronnie goal was against Soviet Union in the first round, and after Republic of Ireland defeated
England 1-0, they almost did the same with Soviet Union, but the game ended 1-1 tie.
Some new and some old videos, but mostly not known or over consumed stuff,
This is not clear from which league or country, but what a poor defender lol
Another very bad defender with a very poor keeper
Well, here is other bad defense, not just one player, but the all defenders, what a poor
keeper,
this video is from Norway
Here is another poor keeper, and what a keeper?

del futbol nacional e internacional que merecían ser reconocidos en esta primera generación.
Well, thank God we rested our starters against Spain. I don't know what would have happened
otherwise.
Canada was waiting four years for that? All that righteous indignation, for nothing. I wonder why
they didn't call up Dwayne De Rosario.
Anyway, now that the tournament has started, it's important to remember that group games mean
nothing outside of (1) results and (2) making sure no one gets injured.
There could have been 100 goals in the 2011 Asian Cup tournament, if North Korea and the United
Arab Emirates had been a bit less shi...ocking. And as there were nearly three goals-per-game and
the best and most entertaining team won, this tournament can be filed in the success column –
whatever Alex Ferguson may think of "this Asia Cup thing.
To listen to some people you would think our promising young reserve ‘keeper is David Seaman,
Peter Schmeichel, Gordon Banks and Lev Yashin all rolled into one.
He's not.
Right now Wojciech Szczesny is a raw, inexperienced player with bags of promise and the
chance of becoming great in the future.
