Despite not having played for 409 days, Campbell has crawled out of his hole to announce he is
retiring from football. Every time he played against us, he was subject to abuse. Homophobic &
racist comments aside, he deserved it. The world's media and by osmosis, the world, fails to
understand why exactly he was treated like he was.
One England fan went further than most in his attempts to help Roy Hodgson's men defeat Italy in
last night's Euro 2012 quarter-final. The cheeky chap dropped his trousers as former West Ham
player Alessandro Diamanti took the decisive penalty, giving the world's media a look at his own
lunging tackle.
With Euro 2012 finally under way this is a chance for Europe's media to seek out new talent and
link it with a move to a new club. As with all of these stories, the division between truth and
gossip is often hard to ascertain so it is unclear as to whether Spurs will be making an offer for
FC Twente's Luuk de Jong.
When international squads arrive for major tournaments, they're usually greeted by the world's

The "Blue Knights"? Really?? I don't suppose Rangers fans who are backing former director Paul
Murray's bid for the club care about how ridiculous his consortium's media moniker sounds, now that
Rangers are saved. At least they won't care, as long as Murray and the various Rangers supporters'
groups attached to his bid are more successful at ousting current owner Craig Whyte than the "Red
Knights," after whom they are presumably named, were at ridding Manchester United of the turbulent
Glazers.
When the Philadelphia Union acquired former United States Men's National Team player Freddy Adu
last year, head coach Peter Nowak made it clear to media members that the team did not have its

Definitely not the Home Depot CenterWhile The Reds are a far cry from the South
London ruckus that is Millwall FC, you could forgive TFC supporters from mistaking BMO Field for
The New Den today. Amidst the euphoric din from the triumphant but still bewildered Toronto fans,
emerged a narrative from the rest of North America that was somewhat sobering - no one really cares
about Toronto FC all that much.

We all know that there's nothing Mario Balotelli enjoys more than stealing the

brought Diego Forlan on the way out!
