Liverpool's management had seen and heard enough. Kenny Dalglish's head in the sand post match interview coming on the heels of Luis Suarez's dastardly snub of Patrice Evra's handshake were considered damaging enough for their MD, Ian Ayre, to come out condemning their striker.

In particular, Suarez's promise to shake hands with Evra made earlier in the week and then reneging caused much anger.

In 1993, April 27th to be precise, the Zambian national team suffered a terrible tragedy (the country's worst sporting disaster) when a flight taking the entire Zambian squad and their management to a World Cup qualifying match in Senegal crashed into the Atlantic Ocean 500 metres off the coast of Libreville, Gabon.

Besides the human loss, it is sad that the attention of the world on African football during a great tournament as the African Cup of Nations, is drawn away by the game, to the catastrophe that happened in Egypt.I am certain that this is not what Egypt is about, with its great people and fans, and it is not what African football is about.

Joe Paterno wasn't one of us. He was a football coach, and damn good one a that, but an outsider to the world of soccer. He may have won 409 games with Penn State and made himself one of the most storied characters in the history of collegiate football, but he definitely wouldn't have known Kyle Beckerman from David Beckham.

A picture speaks a thousand words. This photo, circulating Thursday afternoon of former U.S. National Team coach Bob Bradley who is now in charge of the Egyptian National side, proves that point. The new Egyptian National Team coach was so moved by yesterday's tragedy in Egypt where 74 people were killed and a thousand were [.

""Football can go to hell if this is the situation.""
-

Those were the words of Al-Ahly's star player Mohamed Aboutrika in the wake of the tragedy in Port Said, calling for the Egyptian league to be suspended indefinitely. "Crowds are dying in front of us, and there aren't any police or security forces," he said.

Fan violence in football can pave the way for devastating consequences sometimes and this was exactly what happened in Egypt last night. At least 73 people were killed after Al-Masry defeated Al-Ahly 3-1 at the Cairo stadium with more than 1,000 injured in the stampede.

A few hours ago, following a 3-1 home win over top ranked Al-Ahly, fans of Al-Masry stormed the field and attacked fans of rival Al-Ahly. According to Al Jazeera news, the Muslim Brotherhood claims that the attacks were instigated by anti-Islamic supporters of toppled Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.

And I'm not talking about Beckham's 2-year $15 million contract.

I'm talking about Omar Gonzalez. Last month Omar pulled out of the national team training camp for a very exciting loan move to Nurnberg. His very first day there he suffered a season ending injury at the hands well, feet of his USMNT teammate Timmy Chandler.

One of the most hotly debated roster topics this off season has been whether the Seattle Sounders need to upgrade or add tactical depth to the roster at the more attack-oriented central midfield position. The discussion has often gotten bogged down in traditional soccer semantics. Many of us have expressed our desire for a more creative player by suggesting that perhaps the team needs to find a CAM.

Jon Levy The national team hasn't even suited up in 2012, but it's already been an encouraging year for American soccer. Dempsey and Donovan (for two months, at least) are both leading the line of attack for their respective English Premier League teams, the Women's National Teamers avoided a would-be tragedy in their Vancouver hotel [.

Quite simply forwards need to score. Obviously one guy is. But for Seattle Sounders FC he did not have a regular partner up top. This has led some to think that this means that they need a new player. Still returning forwards scored 13 goals in all competitions adding 10 assists as well. Of course that Montero guy was the star of the bunch with his 17 and 11.

Why Gary Speed would be very proud of Shay Given and so should all Villa fans

Aston Villa's game at Swansea was an immensely moving day even for those fans who did not know or had not even met Gary Speed. Having attended the match, I like everyone else at the Liberty Stadium was stunned and extremely saddened by news of Speed's shock death.

As distraught as I am by the death of Gary Speed, and as touching as I find the fitting outpour of eulogies to this unusually universally beloved footballer, it frustrates me that in such times of tragedy many seem eager ... Continue reading →

Such horrifying, tragic news today. So utterly sad to see someone so familiar and so bright & talented take their own lives. It's really knocked me for 6 today and I don't suppose I can write anything eloquent enough to do the tragedy justice....it was heart breaking listening to Robbie Savage choking up talking about him on 606 today but you have to say he did his mate proud.

The news of Gary Speed's death today is as surprising as it is sad, with a true gentleman and Premier League great suddenly gone without a hint of a warning.

It is perhaps a bit of a cliche to say he was one of the last you would expect this of, but it really fits right now; never in his distinguished career has Speed been known for anything other than being a model professional, and it is alarming that there has, presumably, always been something lurking under the surface that he never felt comfortable sharing with anyone.

Did Terrell Owens try to kill himself again? That's what it sounds like. Listen to the audio of a 911 call placed on October 6th. During the call, Terrell Owens' assistant said that she believed T.O. was suffering from a pill overdose after a suicide attempt.

Ahead of the derby, Darren Fletcher has stated the obvious in claiming that no matter what City go on to achieve, they will never rival United in terms of the size of the club.

"We don't want to give City the confidence of winning trophies to get to our level," Fletcher said. "Our job is to keep Manchester United on top and as long as we keep on winning the big titles, it means they're not winning them.
