Joel Griffiths and his brother played in the victorious Beijing team, champions of all China. Joel didn't get to play in the last game as he has a 7 week suspension - for rude gestures at opposing fans.
Could be the end of the road for Joel - the only way he is going back is if is on a free transfer - who would risk $1m for a player who could miss much of the season. Click to continue reading...

IT'S a cliche to say that a loss is disappointing. EVERY loss is disappointing, from the big thrashings to the winner in the 94th minute.
But what is different is the reasons for the disappointment, well usually.
Yesterday Perth Glory lost 2-1 to Melbourne Victory and it's the third successive lost for the boys in Purple. Click to continue reading...

Not enough that Charlie Miller, last year's fan favourite, has disgraced himself, now he is back on the injured list. So is Danny Tiatto. Should have let them go.
Moore is out too - sorry he shouldn't be our marquee (I understand he is paid what so clubs pay players inside the cap).
Now we will probably play the A-League's worst player - Bob Malcolm. Click to continue reading...

In his second match for the North Queensland Fury, Robbie Fowler showed that even in the twilight of his career, he has not lost a single bit of his agility when it really mattered. What was truly amazing about this ninja kick was that it went unpunished. I checked officially and Fowler did not even get a yellow card. Click to continue reading...

A HARROWING mistake from young goalkeeper Tando Velaphi has resulted in another loss away from home for Perth Glory in the A-League this season.
Both teams were level on the scoreboard late in the game, when Velaphi misjudged the bounce of a long ball into the penalty box, slipped over and watched helplessly as Central Coast Mariners striker Dylan Macallister squared the ball for an easy tap-in for Matt Simon. Click to continue reading...

A 115th-minute goal from substitute Pedro Rodríguez finally ended the resistance of Shakhtar Donetsk and gave Barcelona a third UEFA Super Cup triumph in Monaco.

Dramatic victory
Spain's first treble winners last season, Barcelona had started the new campaign as they ended the old by collecting silverware thanks to last weekend's Spanish Super Cup victory, but Josep Guardiola's team struggled to unpick a well-drilled Shakhtar defence despite enjoying the vast majority of the possession.

A fair few contentious refereeing decisions to chew over in the wake of the A-League's second round of matches.
First, the Gold Coast v. North Queensland match (or massacre, if you like). A round of applause for Chris Beath for producing only a yellow card rather than a red one for Beau Busch when he upended Michael Thwaite in the box, for the penalty that gave Shane Smeltz his second goal.

Since we're in the middle of the SuperLull I actually turned to this match to try and get a quick footy fix. And I must say, although I never got over the dreadful Giants Stadium turf, the three goals from the assGalaxy were worth my 45-minute investment. It does astonish me, however, that after over 12 years of operating, the league still cannot get at least a semi-attractive field for its marquee weeknight match-up. Click to continue reading...

Whatever level of sport you play at stepping down at the peak of your career to play at a lower level is practically unheard of. These guys are born winners and focus on winning and everything that goes with it.
Craig Johnston stopped completely at 28, but can you imagine Ronaldo stepping down to division 2 anytime soon, Lance Armstrong, Tiger Woods, or Roger Federer at their peak stepping down to local tournaments only. Click to continue reading...

Hey y'all. If you are in the Gotham area and you'd like to aid in helping fight AIDS in Africa, have a $125 tax write-off in February, and get trollied in the presence of all manner of Soccerati™ you should really think about coming to Ethan Zohn's blowout at Marquee on Thursday night.

Liverpool played a scoreless draw at Standard Liege that may frighten their supporters a bit but ultimately shouldn't be enough to derail their bid for the group stage. After all, Champions League seasons have been Reds' saving grace for most of the decade. Expect this season to be no different.
Greek club Olympiakos, on the other hand, may not be so fortunate. Click to continue reading...

The Chicago Fire scored two late goals to overcome a one-goal deficit and beat the New England Revolution in the weekend's marquee clash in Major League Soccer. The Fire are now only one point back of the Revs, though New England still have one game in hand. A 75th minute red card to Revolution midfielder Shalrie Joseph seemed to turn the tide and goals from Gonzalo Segares and Wilman Conde negated an early strike from Taylor Twellman.

Back off our Olyroos.
Reading the reviews of the Serbia game I felt quite cheesed off. It is almost like people thought we were going over there as favourites and 'medal hopes.' If Australia were prepared to invest and focus the time an effort on this football code - then yes I think we would be the best in the world. Click to continue reading...
