I'll be blunt: I've never been a PSV fan. There you have it.

Fabrizio Miccoli has really become the undisputed leader of Palermo. The diminutive fantasista, or il Romario del Salento as he is so aptly nicknamed, has been putting in great performances this season and had a great year last season, and it looks like he has finally found a place to show all of his talent.

It was a dramatic World Cup qualifying day in South America, with Argentina scraping into the direct qualification places at the last gasp with a 1-0 away win over...Uruguay. The Charruas thus go into their third successive cross-confederation playoff, while Diego Maradona avoids the humiliation of being the first Albiceleste coach to fail to make the big event since 1970.

PVC, the great football researcher, proves with numbers in his blog that Luis Fabiano is better than Ronaldo. When it comes to the national team, the Fabuloso has a better goal average than the Corinthians forward. More than that, he is already the 15th top scorer in the history of the national team (true that Ronaldo is the second, just behind Pele).

Parabens to Rio de Janeiro... hosts of the 2016 Olympic Games! Let's take a short break away from futbol, shall we, and celebrate... like the sexy pessoas did at Copacabana yesterday! Pele was in tears but they didn't bother to fly his best friend Romario to Copenhagen to hand him a tissue (they could've easily invited Ronaldo along too and played the 'we're a football crazy nation' card but alas, Lula knew the importance of being modest).

"Bobby Robson became the heart that English football wore on its sleeve." The words are a touching epitaph from the beginning of David Lacey's tribute to Sir Bobby Robson in this morning's Guardian, after the footballing great passed away yesterday.
