It was a Papuan derby in South Jakarta. Persiram Raja Ampat don't have a stadium that meets ISL
standards so they have become a bit nomadic this season; this was their third home game at Lebak
Bulus while they have also used Surajaya Stadium in Lamongan.
At the weekend the ‘hosts' earned their first win of the season, defeating Deltras 3-1, a
result that had Deltras coach Jorg Steinbrunner fuming over what he saw as poor refereeing
decisions that cost him the match while Persidafon, up in Palembang, were trounced 5-0 by
Sriwijaya.
Aupa Mirandes! They will play Bilbao in the leg of the second semi-final tonight, and let's hope
that they'll bring more smiles to the faces of these chicos!

Smiles mandatory, umlauts optional. "You want it to be one way ... but it's the other way." --
Marlo Stanfield. Back in the spring of 2010, during my epic, streets of Bodymore, Muderland-tinged
World Cup preview, that quote was used to describe a lingering sentiment hanging around certain
corners of the U.

only way we can put smiles on fans' faces again is to continue to win matches but I don't think
we'll ever get over the loss of Gary.

Got, Not Got: Damned Utd. vs. Cinderella McKenzie You Shall Be First to the
Ball
Soon after the events of The Damned United, things were all smiles again at Elland Road with
Jimmy Armfield in charge and Cloughie's 44 days little more than a nightmarish memory. Why, just
last week we posted up a previously unseen teamgroup off the cover of Got Not Got, showing joker
Duncan McKenzie toppling over all the legendary bad-tempered hackers and horrors amid a barrage of
gruff chuckles.

Now Kean must forfeit his job if Blackburn are to survive
After saying Blackburn "forfeited" their Carling Cup defeat at Cardiff, it's time for Steve Kean
to step down. The fans deserve a refund, his players deserve an apology and Kean deserves to go. It
may have been a clumsy and badly-chosen phrase but it is the final straw for a club which is in
crisis and going down fast.
Seattle Sounders winger Steve Zakuani is known for being a bright personality who joyfully
shares his ability with fans, while using his fame to help others through many charity paths. Today
Zakuani was not bright, there weren't many smiles. At final availability day he revealed some of
the harsh realities of his recovery from the double leg break, most notably his suffering
compartment syndrome.

Bioelectricity, The Shroud of Turin, Steve Kean's status as a Premier League manager. Just some
of the many unsolved mysteries of the universe. I've come to the conclusion that the Blackburn
supremo has remained as such because of the impression he gives of a man constantly on the look out
for a fight.
Chelsea's performance (especially in the first half) and result on Wednesday night was fantastic
against (it has to be said) a disappointing Genk side at Stamford Bridge. For me, it was simply the
best night of Chelsea football for many different reasons.
I have been a Chelsea fan all my life, I am from the area, my family are Chelsea fans and my
Father, Uncle, Brother and Cousins all go to the game.

Chelsea players are in action across the globe today any number of international matches. Have a
rant about their performance. Or, you know, a prayer about them returning to the club in one
piece.

"Before you win, you need to learn how not to lose."
I can't find a source that credits the person who initiated that quote, but it is something that I
have adapted over the years.
It often applies to young teams that need to draw from adverse situations as learning experiences,
as we currently are at the University of Evansville with 14 of our 25 players as freshmen,
including 7 of 11 starters in last week's 2-1 overtime victory over nationally ranked Memphis.
Leon Best is one of the Newcastle strikers who will get a big chance, through at least December, to
knock in the goals for the Tyneside club. Leon Best all smiles after his brace against Fulham With

a replacement for [.
Pep Guardiola was all smiles yesterday as the Catalan Parliament awarded him the Gold Medal,
Catalunya's highest accolade, for being an excellent representative of Catalan values in the
sporting world. There were words of praise and admiration, which almost brought Pep to tears at one
point.
If you read between the lines of the local reports coming out of Newcastle since
Wednesday's failure to sign a top striker, you could make the case that Alan Pardew is
furious with the Newcastle Board. Alan Pardew - less than happy with Newcastle Board? That

night, as Alan was all smiles [.

assembled I asked myself if it could ever get better than this. The answer is YES!
Full marks for passion lad! We're only two games into the new season and spectacular penalty miss
aside Suarez is stamping smiles on Liverpool fans faces everywhere. The Uruguayan got Liverpool's
second on Saturday after an Ramsey own goal. Dalglish set up his side with Suarez originally on
the bench and Dutchman Dirk Kuyt was chosen to start with big man Andy Carroll up front.
I was recently in the most wonderful country in the world, Colombia, where the U-20 World Cup is
currently taking place. The atmosphere is great as Colombians greet the world with their usual
smiles, hospitality and friendliness.Except if you are Argentine... I had made nothing of an
incident between the Argentinean team during a match against Egypt and the fans in Medellín until,

Episode V of Spurs Wars sees Spurs fight back from 3-1 and 4-2 down against our local rivals at
their gaff, in what was Harry Redknapp's first North London Derby in October 2008. What a
welcome! The game was memorable for an outstanding David Bentley goal, plus a quality Jermaine
Jenas goal, yes I know, in the same game, who would have believed it!

The demonstrative enthusiasm Jurgen Klinsmann brings to US Soccer was palpable last night from my
seat in the second row behind the United States bench at Lincoln Financial Field. For those who
felt that Bob Bradley was robotic and displayed little emotion and joy for the game, the first
match of the Klinsmann era at least showed that there will be some smiles and fun in the US camp.
A few weeks ago I commented on MK Dons striker Sam Baldock's decision to favour heart over head and
spurn newly promoted Peterborough's advances. Baldock claimed not to have felt excited by the
prospect of a move to Posh, and I praised his honesty, speculating as to how often the inane smiles
of new signings paraded before fans and media 'mask an expression of grim resignation at having

Liverpool FC captain Steven Gerrard made dreams come true for a Wirral charity which helps children
with cerebral palsy.

a history of neglect, has donated £5,000 to the group.

The United States Under-17 team got off to a fast start in their FIFA U-17 World Cup campaign
with an impressive 3-0 victory over the Czech Republic Sunday night in Torreon, Mexico.

The Portland Timbers sponsored their second annual Bowl For A Goal on June 17 at Grand Central
Bowl. Benefiting Big Brothers, Big Sisters Columbia Northwest, the event gave fans the chance to
bowl with a Timbers player and also bid on some one of a kind Timbers gear. It also gave them the
opportunity to interact with the players in a casual, fun environment and judging by the smiles all
around, the charities weren't the only things that won this night.
U.S. MNT captain Carlos Bocanegra took in the U-20 MNT game last night in France. Unfortunately,
the U-20s ended their brief training camp with a loss, but Dillon Powers and Sacit Hot were still
all smiles when introduced to Carlos after the game.
For Powers, who served as the U-20 captain last night and several times throughout the past
two-year cycle, it was a unique opportunity to talk with the guy who has been a lot of places and
seen a lot of things while wearing the armband.
