The Offside 26 February @ 07:30 AM EDT
101greatgoals has unearthed football's latest musical 'crossover' star, Neil Danns. I question the crossover bit because from everything you hear about Crystal Palace's financial situation, Neil simply may be supplementing his Championship paycheck to keep the electricity on. You can judge for yourselves I won't be buying his album, and I'm sure Eric Clapton [. Click to continue reading...

Calcio, Citta' del Messico: Pele' tende la mano a Maradona: "Argentina male non per colpa sua"

CitySport...un Mondo nuovo... 23 February @ 10:54 AM EDT
Maradona è stato ed è spesso colpevolizzato per l'andamento tentennante dell'Argentina, qualificatasi in extremis, nonostante i tanti campioni presenti nell'undici sudamericano, ai Mondiali sudafricani sulla sirena (decisivo il gol di Bolatti contro l'Uruguay).
Poco gioco e tanta confusione. Insomma, ai tifosi e agli addetti ai lavori non piace la gestione tecnica di Dieguito. Click to continue reading...

Futbolita 18 February @ 05:41 AM EDT

Arsenal may have lost to Porto last night but Senor GuapoVela here needs to work harder if he wants to intimidate the linesman. Pippo Inzaghi gives part-time classes on that when no one is looking, so tipo Carlos better sign up pronto before all the slots get filled up!

Maradona is Crazy

The 12th Man 17 February @ 01:39 PM EDT
Four Four Two Magazine is reporting that Maradona is crazy. Wow! It only took the publication sixteen years to figure that out. Even though Maradona is has many skills, he lacks some fundamental component... sanity. In his five decades on this earth, the player has managed to get himself in more trouble than good, earning his football bad-boy reputation. Click to continue reading...

Best World Cup Player Of The Decade Part 5: the 1980s

World Cup Bafana Bafana 2010 08 February @ 01:11 PM EDT
The series moves on to the nineteen-eighties for an in-depth look at the players who took centre stage in Spain and Mexico.
The 1980s
The two tournaments which took place in the 1980s are remembered for different reasons. Spain was the fantastic setting for some fabulous football from a resurgent Brazil, one example of blatant match fixing, cruel treatment for a rising star, and one of the most memorable goal celebrations.

Calcio, Argentina: Maradona confuso sbaglia le convocazioni

CitySport...un Mondo nuovo... 04 February @ 08:50 AM EDT
Incredibile Maradona.
E non per uno dei suoi grandi gesti tecnici che facevano la differenza in campo.
Ma per una doppia svista clamorosa - nella sua dura avventura da Ct - mentre era impegnato a stilare la lista dei convocati per l'amichevole in programma il prossimo 10 febbraio con la Giamaica. Click to continue reading...

NO SOMOS CANDIDATOS... LO DIJO DIEGO

TREMENDAMENTE MOTIVADOS 27 January @ 09:32 PM EDT
La selección local jugó su primer amistoso del año en San Juan contra Costa Rica, un rival que resultó ser más complicado de lo esperado.
El primer tiempo del partido fue interesante, al equipo de Maradona le costó acomodarse en el campo, Costa Rica manejó la pelota en los primeros minutos y el gol tempranero de Sosa llegó por un error del arquero que no pudo despejar un centro, el viento le jugó en contra, el principito pincha solo tuvo que cabecear la pelota al fondo del arco para poner el 1 a 0.

The Return Of The Dona

Futbolita 27 January @ 01:45 AM EDT

So Argentinean journalists asked The Dona how he was feeling about his "new fatherhood" status and he merely laughed in response! Tio, is that all we're getting? Listen, father of Giannina, if it's true you must embrace it. Although it makes you wonder how on earth the Fertility Gods are being compensated for that miraculous feat.

Argentina 3 Costa Rica 2

LA PELOTA NO DOBLA 26 January @ 11:12 PM EDT
En un partido indescifrable, donde el sonido ambiente no lograba opacar los gritos de los entrenadores y el silbato del árbitro, una Argentina alternativa le ganó 3-2 a una Costa Rica alternativa mostrando pifias inverosímiles, estremecedores desacoples e inseguridades temerarias más la preocupante lesión de Matheu, el debut y despedida de Walter Ervitti, la lentitud de Campestrini, las ráfagas de Clemente Rodríguez, la categoría de Sosa, las limitaciones de Insúa, las dudas de Monzón, las ganas de Gaitán, la brújula rota de Mercier y el timing de Diego 60% cocinado Maradona ante las cámaras.

The best goal comment ever?

Maracanazo - Football is the universal sport because it is the closest to human 22 January @ 08:50 AM EDT

OK, I know that you have probably seen this video hundreds of times but what the heck it stills sends shivers each time I see and listen to it. When you combine the genius of Maradona and the passion of Victor Hugo Morales (who by the way is Uruguayan ), probably the best football commentator that ever was, you just get a pure moment of magic.

Futbolita 21 January @ 05:30 AM EDT

My my, what do we have here? It's Elano scooping the lovely snow up with his wheelbarrow. And this is no playground, futbolitas. It's his own backyard in Istanbul, Turkey! Oh, how we wished all our backyards looked like this. It's nice to pretend to be a Snow Samaritan sometimes, especially if you're trying to break into Dopey's squad and can't manage hat-tricks every week.

Italia 90, cambio de década,ilusión y salida en octavos

Retrofootball 20 January @ 11:28 AM EDT

Llegamos en Retrofootball al Mundial de Italia 90. Cambiamos de década y la selección española afrontaba una nueva participación en una Copa del Mundo con la ilusión de que fuera nuestro Mundial.

El Mundial de Italia 90 fue el Mundial de "Totò" Schilacci, de una gran Alemania, de las lágrimas de Maradona, del "me lo merezco" de Míchel, de la gran actuación general de Martín Vázquez, de los silbidos de San Paolo a Maradona y aquel polémico Brasil-Argentina de octavos de final, donde Branco, tras beber de un bidón de agua que "gentilmente" le ofreció el masajista de Argentina, comenzó a marearse.

CRAZY MARADONA

TREMENDAMENTE MOTIVADOS 19 January @ 07:44 PM EDT
Diego Armando Maradona está en Sudáfrica visitando el lugar donde se va a alojar nuestra selección en el mundial.
El 10 tiene carisma, el 10 es de la gente, a el 10 lo aman todos, pero realmente las fotos y las caras de nuestro DT me recuerdan al peor Diego, al que sacaron de noche en una emboscada, el que apenas se podía mantener parado en el palco del club de sus amores, el que lucha eternamente por salir de su adicción.

The FIFA verdict on the Henry handball....

Soccerblog 19 January @ 04:04 AM EDT


If ever there was compelling evidence that the law is an ass it is this....
Article 77a of Fifa Disciplinary Code states that the disciplinary committee is responsible for "sanctioning serious infringements which have escaped the match officials' attention". Henry's handball clearly escaped the attention of Hansson and his assistants, yet it could not be described as "serious" - a term which is defined in Article 47 of the code and which incidentally covers handballs intended to prevent a goal, but not those involved in creating one.
