that he will lead Roy Hodgson's line at Euro 2012.

boss began with a 1-0 win over Norway.
Carroll's fine form towards the end of the Premier League season has earned him international
recognition, and the burly frontman is ready to prove that he can cut it at the very highest level.
Hoedown with Bellamy Liverpool sub Craig Bellamy might have given an insight into why the injury
problems that once blighted his career seem to have cleared up: line dancing. That's right, a bit
of country and Western is the perfect pitchside warm-up to make sure you don't pull any muscles
when you do get onto [.
Liverpool face Stoke at Anfield today, and manager Kenny Dalglish has made 5 changes to the team
that started against Man City. Daniel Agger is out injured, and Craig Bellamy joins Andy Carroll on
the bench. Once again, Maxi is not even in the squad, which is strange considering Dalglish
confirmed on Friday that there were no new injury worries.
Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli is once again making headlines for all the wrong
reasons. The 21 year old Italy international missed City's 1-0 loss to Sunderland yesterday for
reasons that still remain very unclear.

Chelsea secured a memorable FA Cup and Champions League double last season after interim manager
Roberto Di Matteo led Roman Abramovich's side to a strong finish amid a disturbed league
campaign.
The Russian billionaire responded by spending almost £60 million on players this season, which
should increase further following the expected arrival of Wigan's Victor Moses.
I had high hopes for Marouane Chamakh when he joined Arsenal back in 2010, however, he has
failed to live up to his billing and a move away from the Emirates does not look forth coming any
time soon.
I thought Chelsea striker Fernando Torres was struggling until i had a look at Chamakh's
stats.
After their shock 1-0 defeat to Denmark on Saturday, the Netherlands faces a must-win game
against rivals Germany tomorrow. Lose, against a Germany side that comprehensively outplayed them
in a November friendly, and the Dutch can forget about becoming European champions. Holland will be
the first casualties of the Euros "group of death".
Their is a lot of uncertainity over who will be the next England Captain after John Terry was
sensationally axed from the position last week. Favourites for the job United's Rio Ferdinand ruled
himself out of the running while Man City's Joe Hart has down played his chances of replacing
Terry.

session on Thursday.

City are proving to be a strong contender for the Premier League title this season and one
player who has been instrumental in the Club's unbeaten run and fantastic form is Yaya Toure.
Toure who joined City last summer after a misunderstanding with his former club FC
Barcelona,has proved to be one of the club's most important signings with the 28 year old defensive
midfielder going on to become a key player in Mancini's line up.
I had the opportunity to sit chat with SBN's Brotherly Game's Scott Kessler about the recent
trade between the Portland Timbers and the Philadelphia Union. I will break our chat into the
questions I asked and the questions he asked of me.
Questions asked:
If memory serves me Mwanga has been in and out of Nowak's line-up.
The Brotherly Game spoke with Ryan Gates of Stumptown Footy about
Jorge Perlaza and Danny Mwanga. The following is the transcript of the chat.
The Brotherly Game: Today's trade of Danny Mwanga for Jorge Perlaza leaves a lot of
questions on both sides for how the deal benefits both sides and how the players will fit into
their new teams.
Tonight is the night. After an agonizing four-ish month break, tonight we finally get to watch the
Timbers play in a meaningful game against meaningful opponents. No offense to AIK, the San Jose
Earthquakes or Chivas USA. The tournament was great and we really enjoyed having it here, but it's
just not the same as the regular season.
The MLS champion LA Galaxy visited the White House on Tuesday for the traditional winners'
ceremony/photo op -- an event especially notable since it brought together the most powerful man in
the world and the President of the United States. And President Obama's brief speech about the team
quickly turned into a roast of David Beckham (who brought some impressive Three Musketeers style
facial hair).
Join the guys as they discuss the last couple of weeks in DC United history. They talk about the
team's recent moves and the potential changes to the Black-and-Red's line-up. They also go over the
rest of the changes across MLS in anticipation of the 2012 MLS Season.
He's been dismissed as a £35million flop in some quarters, but Henry Winter believes Andy Carroll
should be in the England squad for Euro 2012.
The Daily Telegraph's football correspondent was speaking on the Sunday Supplement after watching
the Liverpool striker net two winners in a week, firstly against Blackburn in the Premier League
and then in the FA Cup semi-final against Everton.
Manchester United are likely to have Rio Ferdinand, Chris Smalling and Ryan Giggs back forÂ
tonight's game at St. James' Park, and that will add some experience to the Red Devil's line-up.
Wayne Rooney in action against Newcastle last season And of course Wayne Rooney will be back
tonight too, after being suspended and fined one week's wages (just £200K!
So i was browsing through the internet today looking to get updated on the latest happenings
across the world of sport. Other than football, i am a big fan of basketball, golf, and tennis. As
a matter of fact, did you know that the world's richest horse racing event (Dubai World Cup)
happened yesterday?
With the Blues current performances in the league, many are writing them off in tonight's
Champions League knockout stage first leg fixture against Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo.
Truth be said, Chelsea have a mountain to climb in Italy tonight and if reports doing the rounds
stating that AVB will start Torres are true, i would urge all Chelsea fans to expect another
disappointing outcome.
