Não tenho qualquer interesse pelas birras das grandes estrelas do futebol mundial. Em oposição, sinto curiosidade pelo desconhecido e, neste sentido, gosto de ajudar a divulgar atletas pouco (ou nada) conhecidos que, apesar de terem nascido em países com pouca tradição no futebol, conseguem singrar.
How Football Manager can improve your FIFA gameplay and vice versa - originally posted on
Soccerlens.com
The two most popular football simulation games Football Manager and FIFA, offer very contrasting
experiences to football fans. And yet you will find that there is plenty to learn from one game
that can be applied to the other, and vice versa.
Arsenal's visit to Liverpool this early in the season is a battle between two sides that are
undergoing another rebuilding process. Arsene Wenger is still waiting for his new signings to bed
in while trying to create a coping mechanism (tactical) to deal with the loss of two players who
took the top spots in last season's player of the year poll.
Arsene Wenger has said that when injured midfielder Jack
Wilshere regains full fitness, it will be like a fresh new signing for the club, but has
insisted that the England international will not be forced back into action ahead of schedule.
À semelhança do que sucedeu na época passada com a Sampdoria, o Villareal passou do "céu" da
Liga dos Campeões ao "inferno" na IIª Divisão Espanhola num instante. Quarto classificado na
época passada, o "submarino amarelo" não conseguiu evitar a despromoção, numa última jornada
dramática para o clube presidido por Fernando Roig.
Typically, Chelsea threw away the chance of fourth place with win by two clear goals tonight after
being pegged back by guess who? Clint Dempsey once more after Frank Lampard scored his 150th goal
for Chelsea from the penalty spot in the first half.
Maybe it was due to the conditions and because of playing twice in three days, but it was a slow
and too laboured performance in my eyes tonight.
There are games where even a defeat feels like a win. Then there are those where victory can't
quite overcome the feeling of losing out. On a rare occasion though, one gets to experience both
these contradicting sentiments at the same time! Arsenal's heroic effort against Milan will surely
fall into that exceptional category.
Timbers general manager/interim head coach Gavin Wilkinson
What are your thoughts on the game?
Toronto created some chances in the second half, but I think we controlled the tempo and the rhythm
for a majority of the first half. When you do that, I think you have to finish teams off, but
Toronto responded very well.
Timbers general manager/interim head coach Gavin Wilkinson
Thoughts on the match:
"I thought we deserved to win it. I said that in the last game against Chivas USA. I'll give a lot
of credit to the guys. We went down 1-0. It feels that every mistake that we make at the moment we
get punished for, and I think that's a valuable lesson for us.
The Portland Timbers continued their struggles at home with a 2 to 1 loss against Chivas USA on
April 7. After controlling most of the first half with a goal, the team fell apart in the second
half allowing Chivas USA to control the tempo and create chances at will. Here are rating for each
Timbers player that appeared in the match, plus an overall rating for the coaching staff and team.
A little late on this but as I always say "better late than never".

Head Coach John Spencer General thoughts on the game:
"We dominated for a long period of time in the second half. The difference between the first
half and the second half was that we started to believe in ourselves.
In a showdown between two teams with Fenway Sporting Group connections; Liverpool, the John
Henry owned team had to bow before the Thomas De Benedetto led faction which took over Roma last
year.
Michael Bradley who joined Roma earlier this month scored from a tight angle after Erik Lamela
put him through.
Kenny Dalglish has warned his Liverpool flops that some of them may have blown their chances of
starting Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea.
The Reds, who have only won five league games at Anfield this season, fielded a much-changed
line-up in Tuesday night's clash 1-0 defeat to Fulham, and Dalglish has slammed the approach of his
stars.
Two tired teams played to a scoreless draw tonight at BBVA Compass Stadium. It's wasn't a boring
match, but it won't make any highlight reels either. Simply put, the Dynamo just didn't have many
ideas offensively (the Fire deserve credit for being very organized defensively). I guess we can't
get too upset about a point, but not getting the full three points at home just isn't good enough
for me.
CHESTER, Pa. -- They may have a new head coach, but it was the same old story in front of goal
for the Philadelphia Union on Saturday night and DC United made them pay.
Chris Ponitus converted a Branko Boskovic free kick in the 78th minute and that was all DC
United needed to spoil John Hackworth's first game as interim team manager of the Union, as DC went
on to win the game, 1-0 in front of 18,876 fans at PPL Park.
Adesso è ufficiale. Zdenek Zeman (nella foto, ndr) è il nuovo allenatore della Roma. Finito il
(breve) tempo di Luis Enrique e saltata l'idea Montella, è partita la caccia al tecnico boemo che,
pochi minuti fa, è (ri)diventato il nuovo mister giallorosso, firmando un biennale (cosa clamorosa

Napoli – Atalanta 1-3: giù il sipario Di Paolo Esposito NAPOLI – L'Atalanta umilia il Napoli a

Que dizer de um jogo da Taça de Portugal onde a equipa visitante marca aos 15 segundos, sofre o empate aos 94 minutos de pénalti e é eliminada no prolongamento, com dois golos do mesmo jogador? Foi o que sucedeu ontem no Aliados de Lordelo-Sertanense a contar para a segunda eliminatória da "prova-rainha" do futebol nacional.
A comprehensive, 90-minute performance was just what the doctor ordered for the ailing
Revolution, and that's just what went down on Wednesday night against the Columbus Crew. For the
first time in a long time (if at all) this season, Jay Heaps' squad not only limited the petty
mistakes that have cost them so many points this year, but they also pressed high, played physical,
and controlled the tempo.

Javier Hernandez came off the bench to score a 92nd minute winner for Mexico in a friendly

"It was totally random," he told Medio Tempo. "Everyone was joking right now in the
dressing room. The most important thing was that we won 2-1 thanks to God. I'm happy. I've always
said I'm 100 percent [fit] and available for the team.
Tra un numero consistente di gare indiziate di combine, di squadre implicate e passate al

The Atlanta Silverbacks went on the road for the first time this season to face the 2011 regular

Like most Arsenal fans, I expect, I wasn't naïve enough to anticipate a serene run of victories
that would enable us to sail through to the end of the season unhindered. I expected a blip, but I
didn't really expect that blip yesterday. Maybe the players didn't, either, and therein lies the
rub.
After multiple wins, it's back to earth with a bump. Thoughts as follows:
* We started sluggishly and never really - and I hate that I'm about to say this - played 'without
the handbrake on'. I may not particularly like him, but Hughes clearly instructed his team to play
a high-tempo pressing game from the first whistle, and they prevented us from settling into any
form of rhythm.

That was so much better than the first leg, there's just no getting around that and it was just a
terrible shame that the first leg deficit was too big to claw back last night. The commitment and
tempo were there, as was the organisation. The first half was terrific, we played Milan off the
park and thoroughly deserved the handsome 3-0 lead, and if there was any justice in this world we
