Anyone else spot the pitchside hoardings imploring you to "Search Facebook for 'Football Mash Up'" during England vs Brazil? Well, this is what it was all about. The FA and Vauxhall have launched a new viral campaign aimed at stopping 14-17 year-olds dropping out of football. The idea is that you can fit football around [.
To be fair, though, he was first shaken and then stirred tonight. Yes, Rapid Vienna forward
Terrence Boyd and mates were down an aggregate goal to Russian guests Vojvodina Novi Sad heading
into stoppage time of their Europa League third round qualifying closer. Not to fear, the US goal
shark earned his side the equalizing penalty and then bagged the tie winner only seconds later.

Get ready for all sorts of weird on Wednesday.
Less than a month after he was traded to Chivas USA, former club captain Shalrie Joseph makes
his return to Gillette Stadium as a member of the Rojiblancos.
You could say that Revolution fans got their money's worth on Saturday night.
In a display of firepower rarely seen in Foxboro during the last two years, the Revolution
racked up four goals including a SportsCenter Top 10 effort from Lee Nguyen to pound the hapless
Whitecaps 4-1 on Saturday.

defense. (Photo: Tony Biscaia/RevsNet)
It's a transformation that few predicted during the winter.
The Vancover Whitecaps also known as the worst team to play in MLS in 2011 have risen from the
ashes to the top half of the Western Conference table through its first nine games.
There's a football match today and although it has little significance to the upcoming season,
we like a pre-match on Arsenal Arsenal so here goes ........
I know absolutely nothing about the opposition but I do expect that we'll see lots of different
Arsenal players during this game as Arsène makes the most of giving a run out to as many as he
can.

Courtesy of this week's fabu popbitch newsletter: "Which former premier league star got so drunk
at a Marbella beach club that he let his mates strip him naked and throw him in the pool, where one
of them pretended to suck his rather small c*ck?" Hmm. Interesting. And unfortunate. Care to hazard
a guess at who [.
It's the 88-89 Season, and I've been to every home game. One game left, away at Anfield, and our
first title in eighteen years is at stake. It's the most mustest of "must go to" games since ‘71.
One problem. I have also attended almost every home game for many seasons with three very good
mates.

Two e-books worthy of your consideration. And look, we're all busy people, credit crunch and
all, so what can I say they're cheap. Very good, mind. Have a look.
Arthur Rowe a Neglected Spurs Legend Whose Legacy Lives On
One question that often pops up in the English football themed chatter that I have with my mates
in the pub is "Which country should we go to, to watch a football game?" Whenever this has been
posed in the past, the answer that we usually settle on before our plans ultimately fizzle out due
to lack of funds or the inability to get the time off work, is Germany.
Aston Villa: what if the problem is the club and not McLeish? - originally posted on

This Premier League season has been a memorable one, with the title race again going down to the
wire and potentially being settled by a Manchester derby, the new arrivals Norwich and Swansea
reminding everyone that the gap in class between the Premier League and the Championship actually
isn't all that great, and the relegation battle is probably one of the tightest battles there has
been in the Premier League since it's inception 20 years ago.
With this seasons antics of footballers such as Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli causing a big
stir amongst fans and the media, I've decided to look back over the history of the Premier League
to find some other hot-headed footballers with the aim of making a team (or army) of 11.
The players I've chosen are either highly aggressive, highly unpredictable or just a bit
mental.
Let's all raise a glass to the highly not credible, often made up, anonymous sources that rule
the media and news agencies. Their "insider" information may be slightly exaggerated, or altogether
useless, but they still fill our lives with random gems of dictionary-chewing banalities like this
story, for example nonetheless.
Despite spending the best part of the week holed up in bed with the dreaded lurgy, Benoit
Assou-Ekotto dragged himself from his pit on Saturday night, wandered into an East London pub,
ordered himself a little pink cocktail and then completely obliterated all comers over on the table
football.
I do, I honestly fear for Andre Villas-Boas. It's not that I think he's a useless coach, because
given his track record at Porto, he's shown that he can cut the mustard.
With regards to the Chelsea debacle, I think we'll be able to judge his tenure after Roberto Di
Matteo has around 10 to 15 games under his belt.
England's hopes for Euro 2012 are now long gone . After an eventful 90 minutes and nail biting
Extra time , penalty shoot out was the only option . Rooney and Gerard scored for England whilst
Young and Cole failed to see net. Ballotelli and his Italian mates saw back of net more often and

Football and social media can be more closely correlated than perhaps we realise. Whilst we
don't care so much what they say, the fact we now have the option to hear our idols has helped
bridge the gap between fans and footballers like never before.
Players from across the globe take to social network sites – mainly Twitter – to express
anger, rage, happiness, exchange "banter" with their celebrity ‘mates' & ultimately boost their
profile even further, with our very own Rio Ferdinand (@rioferdy5) a prime example of this.

Personally I think that the Republic of Ireland should automatially qualify for every major
tournament on the strength of their always entertaining fans. Although after saying that Ireland
fans will probably now go on a bloody, violent rampage in the streets of Poznan.
Liverpool reserves forward Dani Pacheco's use of the word "negrito" in a Twitter message to
team-mate Glen Johnson forced the young Spaniard to defend himself on the social networking
site.
The 21-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Rayo Vallecano, used the term when wishing the
England international luck as he headed to Poland for Euro 2012 on Wednesday.
I think we need a new "Man". Someone who knows about tactics, defence, motivation and
substitutions. Trouble is this: I like Arsène and want him to stay. So what's to be done?
Some say that behind every great man there is a great woman. To that I say "whatever". However,
I do think that behind many great men there is "His Man".

I think we should petition the F.A. to have all Fulham v Chelsea games to be played at 8:00 on a
Bank Holiday from now on. Keegan once remarked that the atmosphere at Craven Cottage under
floodlights could be a bit special and combined with a day off and the visit of our nearest
neighbours this made for an electric atmosphere.

Salford lad Phil Bardsley joined Manchester United when he was just 8-years-old. In the past, he
has talked about his continuing feelings for United and revealed that he still goes to games with
his mates.
United take on Sunderland this weekend and a win would give them a small chance of retaining the
title, depending on the result at the Etihad.
Wayne Rooney must be shooting himself in the foot following revelations by escort girl turned
celebrity Jenny Thompson over their illicit affair. In a rare interview on Monday, Thompson was
quoted saying that Balotelli surpassed Rooney in 'every way'.
"Wayne may be the better footballer but when it comes to performance off the pitch Mario beats
him in every way.
One minute you're in a bit of a team huddle surrounded by your mates, the next you're suddenly standing alone in front of a TV camera holding your nose and holding your penis. That's how Swansea left-back Ben Davies celebrated his side's Capital One Cup victory over Bradford. Upon realising that he was on television [.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has defended keeper Pepe Reina after the Spaniard's blunder in
the Reds' Europa League tie against Hearts.
With five minutes of normal time remaining, the Spain international managed to let a David

scoring the winner three minutes later.

Recently, one of our Facebook mates posited a complex query to us, one that requires several parts
imagination and one part explanation: "Dear Kickette(s), what do you think of Álvaro Arbeloa?"
Shall we? Mr Arbeloa is gently filed in our under-rated-and-squeaky-clean-hot category of
objectification.
The wind (and our mates at Barcelista) heard our lack of baby bump calling from yesterday and
produced this. Four months along she is, Kickettes. Image: Tumblr.
Every week the New England Soccer Today crew will look beyond the standings to rank each of
the 19 Major League Soccer (MLS) teams. This week Sean Donahue and Brian O'Connell contributed
rankings. Comments are followed by the ranker's name and the rank they gave that team.
With the Euro's well underway, we have teamed up with All Fancy Dress to offer one lucky winner

Another week slips by and the saga of Rangers drags on.
It seems the capacity this story has for delivering farce is almost limitless.
Where are we this week?
Hard to know exactly:
Charles Green and his largely unknown consortium still want to take control of Rangers,
delivering them from evil either through a CVA or the unknown delights of a newco
"Take control" rather than buy: it seems Green - and his still conditional offer - will involve
him and his mates spending cash that Rangers will then need to pay back, with interest, over the
next eight years
A CVA offer has gone out - showing that debts have risen since the scale of Rangers' financial
dunderheidedness was first revealed - but outstanding tax cases and outstanding legal challenges
make a proper appraisal of that CVA offer look all but impossible
Duff and Phelps are under increasing scrutiny regarding their relationship with Craig Whyte - a
scrutiny they dismiss as the muckraking of the tittle tattle brigade - but seem to be pretty sure
of their own multi million pound payday whatever happens
Rangers took the SFA to court and won over the transfer embargo, the SFA being told that they'd
need to consider a punishment within the specific sanctions laid out in their own guidelines
The SFA are preparing another appeals panel in light of that court ruling while FIFA - for whom
clubs taking such matters to national courts is about as appealing as a transparent trial of
goalline technology - consider how they're going to deal with what is no longer Scotland's little
local difficulty
To the sound of hoofs rumbling through an unlocked door the SPL agreed to bring in a selection
of financial fair play rules but decided that decisions on newcos getting into their exclusive club
would be decided on a case-by-case basis by all the clubs
Oddly Charles Green - who currently owns about as much of Rangers as any taxpayer - was allowed
to play a part in that SPL meeting, the lunatic invited out for tea before taking over the
asylum
Rangers have finally delivered, three months after being asked, the documentation the SPL
requested as part of their dual contact deliberations, with the SPL board set to receive an update
on the progress of the league's investigation on 18th June
After the BBC's Mark Daly raised the ceiling on ridiculousness with cameos in this story for
Joanna Lumley, Prince Albert of Monaco and a "Cockney football fixer," this week we had the SPL's
Neil Doncaster suggesting that Gandhi - while possibly a damn fine football chairman - might
struggle to pass a fit and proper person test

"It turned you into a member of a new community, all brothers together for an hour and a half, for
not only had you escaped the clanking machinery of this lesser life, from work, from wages, rent,

had escaped with most of your mates and your neighbours, with half the town, cheering together,
thumping one another on the shoulders, swapping judgments like Lords of the Earth, having pushed
your way through a turnstile into another and altogether more splendid life.

Our mates over at PasseenProfondeur.fr came to us with some interesting awards-related news this
afternoon, and we felt guilty about keeping it all to ourselves. In a totally unscientific and
systematically corrupt survey, Karim Benzema beat out his fellow internationals namely Alou Diarra
and Hugo Lloris by a slim 19% majority to be crowned the sexiest French NT player by
FirstAffair.
