Non-league side Bashley have written to the Football Association to ask for their tie with Gosport to be replayed after the referee missed a clear goal. Gosport's keeper booted the ball through the side-netting in frustration before ref Will Bull had seen it cross the line. He didn't award a goal, believing that the ball [.
Around 400 Athletic Bilbao fans are believed to have missed their side's Europa League final
appearance after getting their European capitals muddled. The barmy Basques turned up in the
Hungarian capital Budapest expecting to see their team take an Atletico Madrid, only to discover
that the match was taking place 500 miles away in Bucharest, [.

As you would expect, Tottenham are not about to let Juan Mata's goal slide just like that.
Tottenham were 5-1 losers to Chelsea last night at Wembley to effectively see them cap a horrible
couple of weeks with a second successive loss.
Having already lost their 3rd place league standing to local North London rivals Arsenal, Spurs
were looking to end their season on a high with chance of some silverware by making it to the May
5th final, however, their dream was quashed by an equally impressive Chelsea side.
England and France are the only two countries who allow their Cup-winners to qualify for the Europa
League. Alan Pardew FA Cup losers should not qualify for Europa League In all other countries it is
simply based on league position, which of course is a much better way of deciding which are the
best teams [.
As we gear up towards the new season, we all do our personal assessment of how the team is
shaping up for the upcoming season. Whether we have enough in our tanks to mount assaults on all
four fronts or whether we are a little light and should be looking to focussed our energy on on
front only.
Playing Chelsea makes Major League Soccer look good.
In 2006 the English Premier League side came across the pond it was with the league trophy in
hand. They left with a 1-0 loss to the All-Stars in Chicago. This time they waltzed in with the
Champions League trophy and left with another loss; this time 3-2 losers.

Everyone remembers the winners. Most know that Brazil have won a record five World Cups, that
Real Madrid have won the European Cup/Champions League a record nine times, and that Manchester
United have captured a record 19 English First Division/Premier League titles.

Let me make this perfectly clear at the very start. Please do not thank Arsenal, we did not do
it because we wanted Manchester United to win the Premier League. We are The Arsenal and we always
play to win. This was for us, the club, the fans and the players. That Manchester City were the
losers was just a name in the script.
It hasn't die down has it? I'm pretty sure you're the same as me and we're still feeling on top
of the world after Sunday's marvelous comeback win against our bitter rival.
I have to be perfectly honest. While I was expecting us to put on a performance and had hopes of
us winning the match, I was not expecting it to be by a 3 goal margin.
The race for the Premier League and the cup competitions is heating up. We're entering that time of
the year where we're beginning to see the winners move ahead of the losers, while the supporters of
the clubs near the ...

Houston has gotten some good returns so far out of Garcia. (US Presswire)
As some may know, last Friday was the close of the MLS summer transfer window. Teams may still
have an announcement or two left to bring up in the coming days as deals were done before the
window closed. Trades will also be made between now and the middle of September as the playoff race
continues to heat up but for those wanting to look to outside of MLS for a good deal, their time is
up until next year.
The Columbus Crew had been losers of three of their past four matches, but they scored a
sorely-needed victory just before the all-star break to boost their chances of catching the playoff
pack in the East.

A day after drawing French side Olympique Marseille in the quarter finals of the Champions
League, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are sending out a very clear message to their opponents
after thrashing Hertha Berlin 6-0 away to take their tally of goals in their last three games to a
staggering 20 goals.

Look on the bright side. It's a long time since I left the Lane so numb with disappointment and
dissatisfaction, so it must mean that most of the time, we've been doing OK but frankly after
watching this sorry mess of incompetence, I'm struggling with the optimist thing. Instead of
reaching for the podium we're not so much looking over our shoulder as being engulfed on the top
bend like an 800 metre runner who went too early in order to win the premature cheers of the
crowd.
Football fans accept that defeat is part and parcel of the game, even if we never quite get used
to it completely. We chunter over the recriminations, bellow at the heavens or kick the cat knowing
that it's an element of the unchanging natural order. If there are winners, it follows there must
be losers too.

Sujay Dutt's head to the Swedish football vocabulary continues today with the 'vinnarskalle'
(victor's caput), as sported by Zlatan Ibrahimović and the focusing here, Olof Mellberg.
We've already seen the Portland Timbers make numerous trades throughout the first half of the
season. Mike Fucito came in, Bright Dike went out on loan, Steven Smith was recruited, Jorge
Perlaza was exchanged for Portland-local Danny Mwanga. Really, it's been a busy seasons in terms of
trades. Makes me wonder if the Timbers front office simply wasn't able to get everything done
before the season kicked off, or if they were scrambling after ot performing as expected.
Much has been made of Danny Koevermans' recent comment in which he called his own Toronto FC "the
worst team in the world."Â As our senior tactical analyst Javi predicted, the Union seemed to have
taken that statement as a challenge. What's to be said about a team that can't put a goal past the
leakiest defense in all soccerdom?
We have grown used to our tabloid newspapers writing garbage headlines, and so it is nice when they
are challenged by the subject of their rubbish. The front page of the Daily Star shouts out today:
Lineker: England team are losers But Lineker, hearing about the story last night, took to Twitter
to defend himself.
Here are some responses this week to the posting I made regarding Sporting KC's success vs the KC

I brought a friend to the Real Salt Lake game...he said that it was the best game day atmosphere he
had ever been to and that he wanted to come back on Cinco De Mayo.
I do love the end of the season when stadiums erupt out of nowhere because something big
happened elsewhere...
...err, nothing happened in the Juventus game, with whom they're fighting for the title and the
only other game going on. Did they do it to buoy the players?
Yes, today has Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich. Is there a doubt that Mourinho still has the chops
to get the Munich into the Champion's League Final? Not really.
Tomorrow is the main event. Chelsea vs. Barcelona and Dani Alves had this to say in the
Guardian about the 2009 semi-final second leg a 1-1 draw at the death that saw Barca through to
face United in Rome.
They've been playing for one hundred and nineteen minutes on this balmy Mediterranean evening at
le Stade Velodrome in Marseille and nothing, so far, has been able to separate the two teams.
France, who sailed through the group stages of the 1984 European Championships, have surprisingly
met their match in Portugal, who, prior to this summer, have not reached the finals of a major
tournament since the 1966 World Cup.
See that ESPN on the Hawaiian Islands Invitational logo? ESPN is one of the organizing forces
behind the tournament and originally announced all 4 games would be on ESPN International and
ESPN3.com. Sometime between then and now though ESPN, who again organized the tournament, decided
they were only going to air the 2 games on Saturday and neither of the games today.
