Azzurrini lose to Hungary, qualification in doubt, worst Italy U-21 team of all time?

The Offside: Italy 13 November @ 12:18 PM EST

The Italy U-21's continued their very disappointing qualifying campaign with another loss, this time away to Hungary.

The Hungarians won 2-0, with goals coming from Nemeth and Koman (both players played on the Hungarian side that knocked the Italy U-20's out of the U-20 World Cup last month).

Norwegian Cup Round 1: Big dogs cruise through

Nordic Fotoball News 13 May @ 05:41 PM EST

Norwegian teams are off on the road to UllevĂĄl after a first round that was like a footballing equivalent of a Harry Potter-convention: Plenty of belief, but no actual magic to be found.Â

The Norwegian cup is a terrifically democratic competition: No favors are given to the big names from the Tippeliga as they start on square one along with the rest of the pack.

2008 Euro Qualifying Saturday Preview: Group G

Football is for the Madman 12 October @ 10:15 AM EST

Both countries sit atop their group table with 20 points, though the Romanians have the tie-breaker due to overall goal difference. The Netherlands will be missing their number one, Edwin Van der Sar, and striker Dirk Kuyt, while Romania is seemingly fully fit. Click to continue reading...

Euro Qualifying Update: Norway and Greece all even at the break

Football is for the Madman 12 September @ 12:55 PM EST
Norway 2, Greece 2
Wow, what a first half. As the score indicates, neither team is playing very solid defense. Norway appears to be the more dominate side and probably should be ahead had Carew not squandered a one-on-one with the Greek keeper. It was a tough angle though. This has been an intense affair so far as nearly two 'disagreements' have occurred. Click to continue reading...

Netherlands vs. Bulgaria, 1430 EST
Amsterdam Arena - Amsterdam
A win here for the Dutch puts them in a decent position to advance. Playing at home and having one of the best squads in the world, you've got to think they'll pull it off, but with the Oranje, you never know. They were unimpressive in their recent loss to Switzerland, but it was only a meaningless friendly. Click to continue reading...
