Heartbreaking. That's all I can say about this match. Gut-wrenching, soul-wrenching, the very best kind of completely awful.

The pivot point of the match – and for the rest of time nothing else will be discussed – was Henry's unjustly-allowed goal. (Technically it was Gallas', but Henry had more than a hand in it.

1. Halftime: Again the United States gives up a goal shortly after the half, this time to a team that had just made three substitutions. Keeping shape early in the second-half continues to be an issue, with the US getting caught panic defending. Someone should have been marking Johan Absalonsen, who had way too much time to make his turn in the US box. Click to continue reading...

And so George Burley's reign ended as we knew - and in his heart of hearts he must have known - it would.

After up and down regular seasons that saw one team consistently dissatisfied with its results and one team barely scrape its way into the playoffs, it's only fitting that the Chicago Fire and Real Salt Lake take each other on. Both teams will enter the Eastern Conference Final feeling that they have something to prove - Chicago wanting to live up to the hype that built up prior to and during the season and Salt Lake wanting to prove they're first round win over Columbus was more than merely a fluke.

A couple of weeks ago, it was hard to know whether to be optimistic or pessimistic. Many commented that the general criticism of Arsenal post-West Ham was over-the-top.
But the problem was, that on the 29th of October 2008, at about 9.30, the season so far had provided enough to be pretty optimistic. Click to continue reading...

Remember, Remember, blah blah November.

Apart from Bonfire Night and Thanksgiving (for you Americans only) what else makes November stand out? You see, it turns out that Arsene Wenger doesn't like November. Are we going to jump on this revelation and facebook 'like it' ?

The reasons for Wenger's dislike of this month are down to "the volume of games" which make it difficult to maintain the fitness levels.

So another decent performance sees United secure all three points at Old Trafford. Overall, I was pleased with the result, but still found a few things troubling. The inability of our three main strikers to score consistently when given the opportunity is slightly worrying, but Obertan's EPL debut coupled with Berba's world class finish left me as happy as could be.

It looks like we have shut the Spuds up for another few months then with a performance that left even the most hardy Spurs fans noting that they had some way to go to catch up with us.

I had a very good feeling before the game, a feeling I hadn't had since that 5-1 beating we took. Maybe it was confidence or just a sign of what was to come, whatever it was I liked it and enjoyed every second of this North London Derby.

Robbie Findley, MLS's Player of the Week during the last week of the regular season slipped a late goal past the diving Columbus Keeper from a beautiful Yura Movsisyan pass, and delivers the victory to Real Salt Lake in the first leg of the Eastern Conference semis. The score came late in the game, and it became apparent early on that Columbus would have been happy to get out of Rio Tinto with a nil-nil draw, but RSL was just as determined to get a win at home.

It was a hard ending to swallow for FC Barcelona as they battled Osasuna to a scoreless draw late into the second half of the match. Early in the first half the Barcelona defense looked a little off as they were not clearing the ball out of the back field and giving the Osasuna offense too much space to move the ball around.

Any loss is disappointing, especially when the team's already lost six, but this one doesn't sting too bad. Arsenal, with Nasri, Bendtner, and Eduardo in the line-up, didn't exactly play the Super Teens, and probably deserved their victory. Click to continue reading...
