Olympique Lyonnais 1-1 Liverpool: A draw for Rafael Benitez and his Reds

goalpost.tv 06 November @ 09:55 AM EST
Liverpool will feel that they should have won the game at the Stage Gerland against Olympique Lyonnais, as they dominated for the most part, but crucially lost their concentration towards the end. Ryan Babel scored a scorcher from 25 yards with a little over five minutes to go, giving the Merseysiders a great chance of walking [. Click to continue reading...

Calcio, Champions: Risultati e classifiche. Inter, vittoria e primato, Fiorentina ad un passo dagli ottavi.

CitySport...un Mondo nuovo... 06 November @ 09:47 AM EST
Pazza Inter. I nerazzurri di Mourinho, primi in campionato con sette punti di vantaggio sulla Juventus, conquistano la vittoria (prima) in Europa, e anche il primato in un girone che si mantiene comunque equilibrato. Il gol di Shevchenko, alfiere della Dinamo Kiev, sembra far presagire un nuovo incubo per la corazzata interista ma questa volta, in maniera decisamente rocambolesce (a tre minuti dalla fine), rimonta e sorpassa gli ucraini, portando a casa tre punti fondamentali.

UEFA Champions League: Lyon adds to Liverpool woes, Sevilla clinches knockout spot

Soccer By Ives 05 November @ 09:10 AM EST


Liverpool was so close to victory yesterday in Lyon. After giving Lyon their best for 83 minutes, a Ryan Babel wonder goal broke the deadlock, handing Rafa and the Reds a lifeline in Group E. A win against the French powerhouse would throw them back in the thick of things. But it was not to be, as Lisandro Lopez capitalized on some poor Liverpool defending to snatch a 1-1 draw that sealed Lyon's passage to the knockout stage.

Lyon 1-1 Liverpool: Kyrgiakos Mistake Condemns The Reds

EPL Talk 04 November @ 09:54 PM EST

Everyone's doing a brand new dance now. C'mon baby, do the Kyrgiakos.

It must have been yet another very frustrating night for Liverpool supporters Wednesday night after the Reds failed to win against Lyon in a 1-1 draw. The dreams of advancing in the Champions League are quickly disappearing.

Video Highlights: Liverpool Vs Lyon 1-0, Anfield Tragedy!

SOCCER UPDATED 04 November @ 08:03 PM EST
Bad luck continues to follow Rafael Benitez. When the much-criticised Ryan Babel scored a brilliant goal with just seven minutes of game time left, on most days in most seasons, the Pools probably would have taken 3 points at Anfield against Lyon. However, with the Pools experiencing a long streak of bad luck, it came as no surprise when Lisandro Lopez struck an equaliser in the final seconds Click to continue reading...

BABEL'S BRILLIANCE NOT ENOUGH FOR LIVERPOOL

Friends of Liverpool FC 04 November @ 07:46 PM EST
Liverpool only managed a 1-1 draw away to Lyon tonight which may not be enough to qualify for the quarter finals of the Champions League. A depleted Liverpool team had most of the possession away to Lyon and had a few good attempts on goal saved by the Lyon keeper, until sub Ryan Babel scored with a magnificent thunderbolt shot on 83 mins to give the Reds a deserved lead.

Lyon’s groin epidemic

Dirty Tackle 30 October @ 02:48 PM EST

There's an unstoppable groin-pocalypse going on at Lyon right now and no one is immune to its devastation. From Reuters:

Olympique Lyon have been hit by a series of groin injuries with keeper Hugo Lloris, defenders Jean-Alain Boumsong, Aly Cissokho, Mathieu Bodmer, Cleber Anderson, Cris, midfielders Cesar Delgado, Jeremy Toulalan, Kim Kallstrom and striker Lisandro Lopez all suffering from the same problem before their trip to arch-rivals St Etienne on Saturday.

Lisandro Poses Threat To Reds

Anfield Talk 19 October @ 12:04 PM EST
"Lisandro is better than Rooney," says the iconic Portuguese defender Jorge Costa in a matter-of-fact voice.
The former Porto captain is on a speakerphone and has been on the road for at least four hours, so there is a temptation to put his claim down to weariness.
However, the man known as "the tank" during his playing days goes on to reassert his belief with the conviction of one of his uncompromising tackles, as if to make sure nothing has been lost in translation. Click to continue reading...

Ligue 1 Round-Up

Joga Bonito Mundo 21 September @ 04:55 PM EST

Lisandro Lopez of Olympique Lyonnais

In a weekend which saw a total of 35 goals scored in 10 fixtures, this really was an occasion for the strikers rather than the defenders of Ligue 1! Â Several matches finished with more than 4 goals scored between the two sides and there was a minimum of two goals scored in every game played.

Maradona to get rid of players?

Pasión Albiceleste 14 September @ 12:46 PM EST


Are these players finished with the national team?

Maradona is on his way to Europe and according to the Argentine media, Maradona is going to meet with many players that have been called up during the WC qualifying campaign to tell them that they will not be called up for the remaining WC qualifers.

Bilardo will assume a larger role in player selection

Soccerblog 13 September @ 04:14 PM EST

Diego Maradona's power is being taken away. Carlos Bilardo is being asked to step in and help with player selection.

Julio Grondona had requested Maradona to avail of Bilardo's advise after the Bolivia drubbing but the manager who won Argentina the 1986 World Cup and helped catapult Maradona to the world stage has been marginalized with little input in the selection.

Lyon vs. Lorient

The Offside - Olympique Lyonnais 12 September @ 02:13 AM EST

I don't know about you guys, but I've used this international break to take a step away from football before things get all crazy again. With our first CL group stage match against Fiorentina around the corner, the next couple of weeks promise to be really busy. But before we can even think about Europe, we have to take care of Lorient tomorrow.

Argentina vs Paraguay

Pasión Albiceleste 09 September @ 09:50 AM EST

Tonight is another must win game as time is beginning to run out on the national team's WC qualifying campaign.

Though not official, the following starting lineup was the one that played in yesterday's practice session:

Sergio Romero

Javier Zanetti
Sebastian Domínguez
Gabriel Heinze
Emiliano Papa

Javier Mascherano
Fernando Gago
Juan Sebastián Verón
Jesús Dátolo

Lionel Messi
Sergio Agüero

It is really hard to understand why Maradona is making a GK change for such a critical WC qualifier tonight.

Argentina Vs Paraguay - Maradona's last chance

Soccer Player Tracker - Argentina 09 September @ 05:47 AM EST
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...

Ganó, gustó y goleó ante su público en el debut europeo tras un dubitativo comienzo en la Ligue 1.

An important week for Argentina

Soccer By Ives 02 September @ 01:25 PM EST


By TRAVIS CLARK

It wasn't supposed to be like this. When Diego Maradona took the reins of Argentina, the former star was supposed to re-energize a World Cup qualifying campaign that had taken some hits. With four games in CONMEBOL qualifying left, and hardly the easiest schedule, could Argentina fail to qualify for the World Cup?

Vive le Foot! Ligue 1 Weekend Previews & More

Sanford's Soccer Net 28 August @ 10:30 AM EST

I am utterly convinced that Yohann Gourcuff is the star of tomorrow and that Milan made a huge mistake by letting him go. Four goals and two assists in three games in Le Championnat for the French midfielder is already an impressive tally and there are no signs of him slowing down. Somewhat depending on his World Cup 2010 I wouldn't be surprised to see him wearing the colors of Chelsea or Man United next year.

The starting eleven against Brasil

Pasión Albiceleste 27 August @ 07:10 PM EST

Well, the big game is almost a week away and it is time to begin the speculation about the starting lineup.

So who will be in the starting eleven against Brasil?

The GK will definitely be Andujar.

And the rest?

Though this wouldn't be the ideal team in my opinion, I think Maradona will go with:

D Zanetti
D Burdisso
D Otamendi
D Heinze

M Maxi Rodriguez
M Mascherano
M Veron

Lisandro Lopez is Pure Goal

Soccer Player Tracker - Argentina 26 August @ 08:39 PM EST
Lisandro Lopez showed off for his new team of Lyon & Maradona yesterday with a hat trick against Anderlecht. Before his call up to the Argentine national team, he was probably one of the most underrated top strikers in Europe while he played for the Portuguese champions of Porto. Now he has Europe's & Maradona's full attention and he is not wasting any time. Click to continue reading...
