Cabeza de serie del Grupo 9 (único pentagonal) y ganador con puntaje ideal, 17 goles a favor y 2 en contra sobre las pálidas Escocia y Noruega y las modestas Macedonia e Islandia.
La clasificación comenzó el 10.09.08 con un sufrido y limitante triunfo (1-2) en su visita a Skopje, capital de Macedonia: Van der Vaart selló el triunfo después de que Heitinga lograra romper la resistencia local. Click to continue reading...

Atletico Madrid 2 - Chelsea 2
Mal primer tiempo, gran segunda mitad. Aburridos fueron los 45 minutos iniciales, todo muy esquematizado, muy poco fútbol. Increíble me resulta que en este Atlético no sea titular el Kun, especialmente si el inicial es Sinama Pongolle (todavía cree que juega en el Recreativo). Click to continue reading...

Inter Milan drew 2-2 at home to Dynamo Kiev in a game that saw them behind twice and could have ended in defeat. Inter Milan are now at the Bottom of group F and only have one remaining home game left to play.

This week's Champions League play had upsets, scintillating football, and another two goals for Cristiano Ronaldo.

On my first shot at predicting results I was able to predict the correct result (not necessarily score line) of eleven of the sixteen matches.

But enough about me, the biggest stories from this week has to come from the woes of the football supporters from Milan.

Internazionale vs FC Rubin Kazan

A match against the Champions from Russia might be exactly what the doctor ordered for Internazionale after some poor performances recently. Inter lost their first league game of the season on Saturday against Sampdoria and the week before had put in a very unconvincing match against Napoli in a 3-1 win.

Stasera torna la Serie A con la quinta giornata di campionato. Per questo turno infrasettimanale, il match di cartello, e soprattutto sfida che si annuncia affascinante, di grande richiamo (e speriamo ricca di gol) è quella tra l'Inter di Mourinho (squalificato e sostituito in panchina dal suo fidato secondo Beppe Baresi) e il Napoli di Donadoni.

Önce büyük kaptan futbolu ve bizleri öksüz bıraktı. Ardından Kaka'yı kovarcasına gönderdi basiretsiz yönetim. Kalac'ın gönderilmesine sevinemeden bir başka 35'lik aldılar kaleye.

I thought that might grab your attention. I'll apologise now for falsely raising your hopes and expectations as, let's be honest, this sort of transfer doesn't look likely to happen in the immediate future.

Although I have to admit that if I were in Sir Alex Ferguson's shoes, I would be trying damn hard to ensure that this, or a deal of similar proportions, was completed before the end of the current transfer window.

(Real Sociedad-Real Madrid)

REAL MADRID travelled to play SAN SEBASTIAN in their 100th anniversary & won 0-2 with goals from BENZEMA & SNEIJDER,but that was deceiving as Real didn't show their potential againsta 2º division side. In SFS opinion, there is a lot of work to do &worrying at that!See video of goals: Click to continue reading...

I just made up a word:

• Damien Duff to Fulham?
  
• Benfica and Dirk Kuyt? And also Afonso Alves?
  
• Sneijder wants to stay at Real Madrid.
  
• Chelsea close to Serbian midfielder Matic.
  
• Mancienne/Wolves move complete.
  
• City still really want Joleon Lescott.

Gourcuff piace all'Inter. Questo non è più un mistero ormai per nessuno. Piace a Mourinho e soddisfa il desiderio (implacabile) di Moratti di rifarsi sui cugini rossoneri. Mettere a nudo (ancora una volta) i limiti sul mercato di Galliani & C. è e rimane un'esca irresistibile per il numero uno nerazzurro. Click to continue reading...

Nereida may think otherwise, but ya'll can see that Greaseano still packs a punch! Ha-ha-ha.

Wesley Sneijder has attracted serious interest from Premier League side Liverpool. The Reds want to include Sneijder in the deal when Xabi Alonso moves to Real Madrid. Spanish international Xabi Alonso still tops Real Madrid's 'wanted' list, while Liverpool headcoach Rafael Benitez sees a perfect replacement in Sneijder for Alonso. Click to continue reading...

Dos jóvenes jugadores llegaron de la mano al Inter de Ronaldo. Uno espigado, potente, al que se le advertían maneras para ser un Toto Schillacchi del siglo XXI. Adquirió pronto un rol de jugador de banquillo, de segundas partes, que pronto se diluyó para ir trotando de equipo en equipo y, pese a que en determinados momentos pareciera que iba a ser un jugador aprovechable, se quedó en un Michele Padovano de medio pelo: oportunista, pero con una aportación al juego demasiado restringida a su puesto y con unos promedios insuficientes.
