Was es nicht alles gibt auf der Welt?!? In Indien wurden jetzt ehemalige Fussballstars versteigert und das nicht für den guten Zweck. Die Ex-Stars sollen mit ihrer Erfahrung und ihrem hoffentlich noch vorhandenen Können die neu gegründete indische Fussballliga PLS ("Premier League Soccer") gleich mal voran bringen und auch viele Fans in die Stadien locken.

The English FA will meet with national team manager Fabio Capello after rising tensions over the dismissal of John Terry as captain threatens to fracture an already tenuous relationship between the two sides.

Capello has been very outspoken in his disagreement with the FA's decision to strip Terry of the captain's armband after the defender's racism trial was delayed until July.

2012 will see the inaugural Premier League Soccer competition take place in India. It follows in the footsteps of the hugely successful Indian Premier League cricket competition which began in 2008 and has now run for four seasons.

06.02.2012 - Recién liberada del yugo inglés en 1947, India tiene al cricket como deporte nacional y al hóckey y luego al voley como juegos multitudinarios, entre religiones, idiomas y vacas sagradas. El fútbol en India estuvo y está muy lejos de aquellas popularidades soñadas por los empresarios e "inversores".

Like an outdated fantasy league auction, the new Premier League Soccer featuring six teams based in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal bid for the rights to sign several "icon" players." Hernan Crespo, who scored nine goals for Parma last season, drew the highest bid and went for $840,000 (£536,000) at the sprightly age of 36.

We're not going to get wrapped in the complexities of the newly founded Premier League Soccer tournament in India for two reasons.

Wow, that's really all I can say about yesterdays match between United and City in English Premier League. Manchester teams went against each other and boy did City come off victorious. The match was definitely most awaitened match this season in Premier League soccer, and it delivered. Fantasy soccer wise, it was also a lot better than expected.

Despite the luxuries afforded to professional footballers, and athletes in general, there are certain drawbacks. Like the simple fact that being human is done so in the public eye, as is the case for their family members as well.

Wayne Rooney is, as we all know, more human than most. Turns out it's a family thing.

The King is Dead ( well, injured ) Long live the King!


The biggest shock in this week of premiership soccer was that Wayne Rooney (the aformentioned King) didn't play due to a injury acquired from practice. And boy did that show. Of course everyone knew that Stoke as a host wouldn't be giving anything for free, and in a way the Manchester United players were lucky to get even the one pt that they got.

Football is great, fantasy soccer exciting, but some gameweeks you just wish you could forget as quick as you can. I've already had my share of those this season, as it seems my football team has faced it all: injuries, red cards, missed penalties... You name it, my make believe soccer team has done it.

Fulham 1-1 Blackburn Rovers Premier League 11 September 2011

Steve Kean's Blackburn Rovers picked up their first point of the new season at Craven Cottage, courtesy of a superb strike from Ruben Rochina on 32 minutes. The creator of that goal, David Hoillet (one of the few Canadians playing at a high level), would have to be stretchered off later on, after clashing with Fulham keeper Mark Schwarzer.

Here's the space where we come to bury Arsene Wenger, to piss on his 15-year tenure in charge of Arsenal, to question if the persnickety Frenchman has any clue whatsoever. Actually, as much fun as it is to delight in the failures and foibles of Wenger, let's get a little perspective for a second -- yeah, admittedly not as fun.

BOGOTA – I checked off a "global first" this morning: I watched English Premier League Soccer from Colombia.

Oh, have I mention that I am in Colombia?

I arrived last night, got some shut-eye then hopped up for food and EPL on the tele down at the breakfast bar.

Despite a disappointing draw on the first day of the season, Liverpool Football Club embarks upon a new Premier League campaign, revitalized both on and off the pitch. With the Hicks-Gillette era now firmly in the past, new owners, Fenway Sports Group appear to have dramatically altered the club's fortunes.

Liverpool will set up a youth academy in Indonesia, their first outside Europe, as the Premier League soccer side seek to increase their global commercial presence, the club said on Friday.
Working with the British Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia, Liverpool aim to train children in the world's fourth most populous country, which is soccer-mad but has yet to see its national team succeed at an international level.

Geoff Gibson, Managing Editor of SB Nation's Portland Timbers blog Stumptown Footy, joined me to talk about tomorrow's match between the Philadelphia Union and the Timbers.

Portland is 3-0-0 in MLS play at home. Can it attributed to JELD-WEN's minimalistic dimensions?

Geoff Gibson: Jeld-Wen isn't actually as small as some make it out to be.

Whether you're a lover of Premier League soccer, or you prefer a more well-rounded mix of international soccer, today's schedule of matches is attractive enough to entice any soccer fan.

Consider this list of match-ups today:

Borussia Dortmund-Hannover 96, FC Twente-PSV Eindhoven, AC Milan-Inter Milan and Villarreal-Barcelona.

El mexicano Chicharito Hernández, que fue titular y fue sustituido en el minuto 75 por Michael Owen, estuvo a punto de marcar el segundo tanto para el Manchester United con un cabezazo en la segunda parte.

LONDRES El Manchester United eliminó al Liverpool (1-0), gracias a un penal del galés Ryan Giggs en el minuto 2, en la tercera ronda de la Copa de Inglaterra, en el estreno de Kenny Dalglish como nuevo técnico de los 'Reds' que buscan volver a la élite del fútbol inglés.
