The art of a natural striker is immensely undervalued these days isn't it? "Yeah he is okay, but he does nothing else apart from score". How would we have love to have that player at the Stadium of Light. We did. He went off just after the 71st minute. Shortly after we went 1-0 down.

Frazier Campbell didn't know what he did with Bent's header from Reid's corner.

Where is the marking?

Disappointing would be the best word to summed up tonight's game. The team lacked cohesion, tenacity and showed no real desire to win the game. One could argue that after almost 2 weeks away from each other and barely had the oppourtunity to train as a team lead to the dispirited display.

It has been all about Thierry Henry and his "Hand of God" this past 24 hours. Articles, comments, they are everywhere, lambasting the striker for his role in the controversial equaliser. I am a Gooner, and Henry scored the goal which mesmerized me into pledging my allegiance to Arsenal.

It is not just that Real Salt Lake's captain, Kyle Beckerman, has been working on his dreadlocks longer than the LA Galaxy's David Beckham has been coifed with an under-cut resembling a mullet with a racing-strip, that leads me to predict RSL as the 2009 MLS Cup winner. Rather, it is that RSL is peaking at the right time and relishes the underdog role.

Benni Mc Carthy Takes a Shot Against Jamaica

Maybe the "weakened" Jamaica was a better opponent for South Africa, because Bafana Bafana managed to play forward although they were held to a goalless draw at Vodacom Stadium on Tuesday.

That means the 2010 World Cup hosts have now scored just six goals in their last 12 internationals.

A few minutes after he scored this goal he was taken off with an injury, hopefully nothing serious. This goal put a rapidly improving Hungarian Under 21 side the lead against their Italian counterparts in this European Under Championship qualifier and reported Liverpool target Vladimir Koman got the second (Video also below)

Pantomime season is almost upon us, but the contradictory stories over the future of Robinho continue apace.
There have been a series of reports in today's press with regard to his future, and with many seemingly different angles taken.
AS reported Joan Laporta as indicating the club would back the management at Barcelona should Robinho be a target for them:

"We are not going to close any door or end any plan because, although the squad is competitive, as was shown against Mallorca, if the coaches want to strengthen in the winter market and they recommend a player to us, I am sure we can make a move.
