Everybody hates French national team manager Raymond Domenech. This is a well established fact. When he's not getting called "a man who seems intent on messing them [France] up" in the press by opposing players, he's getting booed by his countrymen and laughed at by his own players at the Paris Bercy Indoor Masters ATP tennis tournament (as you can kind of make out in the horrible quality video above).

With a couple of upcoming Friendlies (Macedonia on Nov 14 & Poland on Nov 18), and with a break in my Masters happening right now (oh, how convenient), I finally have chance to to write a proper blog post that isn't a summary of my Twitter stories.

Yeah a lot has happened lately. First Begovic, then Jacob Lensky (and thank you, Stephen Hart, for publicly expressing your disappointment).

Once again Milan prove they are masters of European football. Dida's calamitous mistake handed Raul and Real the initiative in the 19th minute but just slightly pass the hour mark Pirlo levelled proceedings with an exquisite long range shot. Pato then netted the second when the Real defence failed to deal with Ambrosini's long punt. Click to continue reading...

I do not believe a team can build success by continually selling their more dependable players. Manchester United under Alex Ferguson have been the masters of selling players at a good price, but they sell from a position of strength, after successes, not from a position of fourth place in the league and 18 points behind.

Don't tell the Brazilian players that the Confederations Cup doesn't matter. It's a football tournament, and that means it matters to them. And after being down 2-0 to the Americans at halftime, it really mattered to Brazil that they could overcome the deficit, and win this final, and they made the US look like they were playing at least a man down in the 2nd half, scoring 4, and having 3 of them officially recognized.

Tim Cahill lives in an amazing football world. Everton masters of the long ball game, by-pass the middle. And the Socceroos, learning total football. Guus wanted him, but didn't need him, loved his passion but had to settle for clinical. And designed Tim out of the game. Click to continue reading...

So anyway, I opted to give myself a good 24 hours to stew over things before tapping something out tonight.

It was a subdued effort from most of the Argentine foreign legion last weekend, but here we are to round it up as usual.

Here's an interesting story for you, well actually it's more like two interesting stories that we have condensed into one. You see, today The Sun hit an all-time low. Now I know how outrageous a statement that sounds for the masters of the banal, but still: in a newspaper of an average of about 60 pages, can anyone really justify two articles about David Beckham looking at women other than his wife for the split-second it takes to photograph him?
