FIFA, Greed, Votes and Common Sense

Center Holds It 23 October @ 10:22 AM EST
The word is getting out:
YouTube - Fahrenheit 2010 TRAILER YouTube - Fahrenheit 2010 TRAILER
Even if the 2010 World Cup is a ringing success artistically - and Sepp Blatter has made a brilliant career for himself by being smart enough to step back and let eh football speak for itself - the fact that South Africa, a desperately poor country with enormous unemployment, crime, housing and communicable disease problems, is literally bankrupting itself so that FIFA can pocket billions.

Brazil’s U-20: What’s the Future?

See The Cup 20 October @ 02:48 AM EST

This is a bit late, but necessary. Brazil lost the final of the U20, but the result was just a detail (besides the fact that young Brazilian squads always lose to African nations). The real question is: what can we expect of those players in the future?

Possibly, 1 or 2 will be adult World Cup material (in my opinion, one of them will be Giuliano).

HexagonalBlog 20 October @ 12:04 AM EST
Just a day after the Hexagonal concluded, René Simões released his list of players for the playoff against Uruguay next month. He didn't have any players from the Costa Rican U20 squad, but maybe he'll add to this list at a later time. Click to continue reading...

10-Man Ghana Take Out Brazil on Penalties in the U-20 Final

WorldCupBlog 17 October @ 10:10 AM EST

Yesterday's U20 final, Brazil vs. Ghana. So much potential for excitement. Ghana's Black Satellites (the baby version of the Black Stars) came into the final having scored 16 goals in the tournament. Brazil stood at 14. Surely a goal-fest was in order.

But no.

The game-changing moment happens at about the 1:10 mark in the video, when Ghana's Daniel Addo is sent off in the 37th.

Brek Shea to Fulham?

Project 2010 06 October @ 11:30 AM EST

Extra Footie is reporting that Fulham are interested in buying Brek Shea from FC Dallas for ÂŁ2 million. Good for him. I know he's a top prospect for the USA and Dallas, but I was pretty unimpressed with his performance at the u-20 world cup.

U-20 World Cup starts tomorrow for Italy

The Offside: Italy 24 September @ 09:37 AM EST

Despite having a strong U-21 side, Italy's other youth national teams don't really have a glorious history. All of Italy's youth focus is directed to the U-21 team, and you never hear anything about the other sides. In addition, besides the U-21 team Italy's youth sides have never really won anything, despite participating at many tournaments.

Vorbild für die Männer

Bundesliga Blog 12 September @ 04:29 AM EST

Die Deutschen Fußball-Frauen sind ungefähr das, was im Männer-Fußball lange Zeit die Nationalmannschaft von Brasilien war: Das "Non plus ultra". Die Europameisterschaft in den vergangen Tagen und Wochen zeigte wieder einmal, dass es nur ganz schwer ist, die deutschen Frauen zu schlagen. Nach dem Weltmeistertitel im Jahr 2007 folgte nun wieder einmal ein Sieg der Europameisterschaft – der siebte Titel dieser Art insgesamt.

Arsenal Starlet Fran Merida Keen to Repay Wenger’s Faith

Caught Offside 09 September @ 08:00 AM EST

One for the future ready for the here and now.

Arsenal starlet Fran Merida has revealed that he rejected a loan move to Spanish side Levante this summer because he is keen to prove his worth with the Gunners.
The 19-year-old, who arrived from Barcelona's acclaimed youth ranks in 2005, has been capped by Spain at U17, U19, U20 and U21 level, but has so far made just four Premier League outings for Arsene Wenger's outfit.

Tampa schools victorious

USF women start preseason with a win

Against The Run Of Play 17 August @ 03:04 AM EST
Last season the USF women struggled with producing goals, but were able to open their exhibition schedule with a 2-0 win over Jacksonville University. All the scoring occurred in the second half, starting with a goal in the 52nd minute from the Bulls' Canadian connection. Freshman Taylor Patterson assisted on fellow Canadian U20 international Gina Pacheco's [pictured right as a member of the W League's Ottawa Fury] goal. Click to continue reading...

Jack Wilshere is on everyone's lips

Soccerblog 10 August @ 10:50 PM EST

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack cross over, score a goal with a sizzling kick.

Fabio Capello sees a bright future and if all goes well and Arsene Wenger plays him more and more, Wilshere could see action in the 2010 World Cup. He dazzled in the Emirates Cup and has carried that form forward in all the other preseason friendlies.

In the second match of the series on Sunday, Gina Pacheco was a late substitute for the Canadians. Pacheco, who has seen time with the Canadian U20 squad, earned her first cap for the national team in the 1-0 loss to the Americans. Click to continue reading...
