BoLASEPaKO - a simple view on Singapore Soccer 16 November @ 11:08 AM EST
It's ironically that since that 3-1 defeat to Thailand on Saturday, this blog recorded its biggest viewership since its establishment as it surpassed the previous record set on 20th May 2009.
So as a basic courtesy, I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all those folks who had flocked in over the past few days that made it possible to this new record. Click to continue reading...

The Burning Question

For Girls Who Can't Do Football 11 November @ 04:30 PM EST
Three Tommies sat in a trench one day,
Discussing the war, in the usual way,
They talked of the mud, and they talked of the Hun,
Of what was to do, and what had been done,
They talked about rum, and – 'tis hard to believe –
They even found time to speak about leave. Click to continue reading...

Persitara v Persebaya 1-2

Jakarta Casual 11 November @ 06:29 AM EST
Two home games, two home defeats, four goals conceded at home.
It's been a sorry start to the season for Persitara in their (latest) new home of Soemantri Brojonegoro Stadium. The heavens opened as the fans left the stadium and heaven might be an approriate place to start looking for inspiration as this current vintage seems to lack much of it on the field.

The Offside - NY Red Bulls 27 October @ 05:29 PM EST

Though the rain may have followed it's way over from Giants Stadium to Red Bull Arena, and the sky was as gray as ever, it could not dampen nor cast a shadow on today's accomplishment. Ladies and Gentlemen, say goodbye to plastic turf; the final piece of sod is in place, and the Red Bulls Kentucky Blue Grass pitch is finally complete.

Monday's Daily: Not Even Close

USSoccerPlayers 26 October @ 09:15 AM EST
With J Hutcherson -- All in all, not the best weekend to be a fan of half the teams in Major League Soccer. Whatever route was taken to disappointment in the final weekend of play, it's the same basic point. In 2009, this is a circuit that can't put anybody over. Toronto can't play in the rain. Dallas can't score enough. Click to continue reading...

English Premier league 19 October @ 06:56 AM EST

That's right boys and girls it's time for your new favorite board game, La Liga Presents Stealing the Stars

DC 1-0 Columbus: Post Game

The Offside - Columbus 18 October @ 03:36 PM EST

The Crew outshot United 8-2 in front of 16,000 rain soaked fans last night at RFK Stadium.

None of The Massive's shots found the net.

Columbus, who needed the win to secure their second-straight Supporter's Shield, played as sloppy as the marsh-like field. There was little spark to be found all night, and the few times The Crew threatened to score the chance was squandered.

The time is now

Sodium 17 October @ 10:33 AM EST
Today you take the field against the defending State Champion, a position you held proudly for 2 years. As with any match when we face LOSC it will be a battle. A hard fought, physical and emotional war. The time is now for players to put aside their illness, their injuries, their differences and unite. Click to continue reading...

I was going to write about this yesterday but...... (well, you don't have time for my saga of yesterday.) Let's just say it involved lots of lost work and headaches...and some rain. I'm down here in Atlanta and it's raining ALL the time.

Anyways, so when I saw that Salt Lake had won its match from Wednesday I was very, very happy.

Class 2 District 5 Missouri High School Soccer Coaches Poll

Springfield MO Soccer 13 October @ 12:42 PM EST

In the third poll of the season, Bolivar maintains their position at the top with no point change but now Cassville has moved past Monett into the #2 spot. Both teams were scheduled to play Greenwood this week which would have been a good measure but Cassville won't be making the drive to Springfield today due to the rain.

Inspiring Win, Rainy Morning

JordanCornblog 13 October @ 06:07 AM EST

Of course, I was a Phillies lover before, but after last night's top-of-the-9th heroics, how can you not love that team? Bring on the Dodgers ... and let's have a repeat of last year! I went to sleep thinking of my Dad, and how excited he'd have been (gave him a congratulatory phone call, in my mind).

A Closer Look: Marco Pappa's Second Half Struggles

Fire Confidential | ChicagoNow 12 October @ 01:46 AM EST

Thirty-two minutes into the Fire's 2009 home opener against the New York Red Bulls, Fire midfielder Marco Pappa lit up a windswept, rain soaked Toyota Park crowd when he smashed a 20 yard half volley off the post and into the back of the net. Pappa's goal - which would prove to be the game winner - set the tone for a fantastic start to his 2009 campaign, and gave fans hope that the 21-year-old Guatemalan would emerge as the Fire's next big-time offensive threat.

Two Teams

A More Splendid Life 10 October @ 07:03 PM EST
Two teams who are in a must-win situation heading down a final stretch of games to progress. Two teams that score massive goals in the second half giving hope to their home fans, cheering them on in the cold, or, in the rain. Two teams that suffer crushing late equalizers, which seem to put progress forever out their reach in the dying minutes of an unforgiven game, littered with wasted chances.

Manchester United 2 Wolfsburg 1 – Spirit rather than craft carries Reds to victory

WDKF | Qualified Football Arm Chair Managers Slash Pundits 01 October @ 05:11 AM EST
The most spectacular thing of the whole night was the rain. Sheets of it. On a wet night in South Manchester, United managed to find a bit of old skool fight to battle their way past a resilient, yet unconvincing Wolfburg side. A deflected goal by Ryan Giggs and a sweet Michael Carrick finish made sure [. Click to continue reading...

Little things killing football, travel holiday for Glory, Velaphi and Burns

Home - Football Perth Blog - Perth Glory News 21 September @ 11:17 PM EST
PERTH Glory have a pretty quick turnaround of five days until Friday's match against Newcastle Jets.
But before we get into it, FP just wants to rant about something (don't worry he'll make his point quickly).
Football in this country is not suffering because of the big things. We have pretty decent players, a pretty good supporter base (though they are a bit afraid of the rain) and the competition, especially this year, is extremely tight. Click to continue reading...

What are your favorite tailgate recipes?

Fighting Talker 18 September @ 09:16 AM EST
For some years now, DC United's Screaming Eagles and Barra Brava have set the standard for pre-game tailgating in MLS.
As a DC fan this season, I've learned to appreciate the "smaller things" in soccer my soccer experience as opposed to actual goals, talent, or even effort out of my home town team. Click to continue reading...

Ei Yoaan! Quoi de neuf?!! It looks like the rain really worked in Bordeaux's favour last night as they held Juventus to a 1-1 draw at home. Amauri's Robin Hood bro, Iaquinta gave Juventus the lead in the second half but the visitors fought back in the 75th minute and Plašil shot from point-blank range to earn the visitors one point.
