Tetraplo dokari by martelis Off The Post? Yep, and the rest. This footage comes from the Greek lower leagues. An Egeas Plomariou player thought he was about to find the net against Papanikolis. His shot beat the keeper but hit the post. Then the crossbar. Then the other post. Then the first post again.
Liverpool 0-0 Stoke City Premier League 7th October 2012
Liverpool hit the woodwork three times but just couldn't secure that all important goal against Stoke on Sunday afternoon.
Raheem Sterling, Luis Suarez and then Martin Skrtel both hit the woodwork for the Reds, as they battled against a typically resolute and physical Stoke side.
Carli Lloyd scored twice in front of a record 80,203 crowd at Wembley as the USA women's side
won their fourth (and third consecutive) Olympic gold by beating Japan 2-1 in the final. Of the
last four Olympic tournaments, only Norway back at Sydney 2000 have disrupted the American
dominance.
It was by no means a classic performance by Stuart Pearce's hotchpotch side, but Daniel
Sturridge's fist-half strike was enough to secure the victory for the hosts against a rather
disappointing Uruguay outfit, with Edinson Cavani failing in particular to live up to the hype.
Amidst a rather strange atmosphere at Old Trafford, where chants of "GB" peppered the
proceedings, Stuart Pearce's mixed-bag of players, minus Gareth Bale of course, played out a draw
against a decent Senegal side.
Craig Bellamy opened the scoring for the hosts in the first half although Senegal almost drew
level after 'keeper Jack Butland made a right balls of his distribution, only for Sadio Mane to
fire wide.
In which Northern Irish golf sprog Rory McIlroy spanks the woodwork with a tee-shot from the
150-yard mark at a promo event for the new PGA Tour '13 game...
The good people over at EA Sports assure us that this is completely kosher and why would they
lie to us?
As Portugal went out on penalties to Iberian rivals Spain in Donetsk, the question on everyone's
lips was why the hell was Cristiano Ronaldo no. 5 on the list of penalty takers for Paulo Bento's
losing side? In the end, the superstar didn't even get a chance to take one, as Bruno Alves saw his
shot crash off the crossbar before Cesc Fabregas netted the deciding spot-kick (going in off the
post).
Joao Moutinho's 79th minute cross was met emphatically by Cristiano Ronaldo as he rifled a
header past Petr Cech, an old foe from his Premiership days. Moutinho and Nani were the pick of the
players as the Portugese midfield dominated the second half proceedings with the Czechs
increasingly hemmed in their own half.
Last week I spent in New York. This fantastic city is not known for its football, but nevertheless I had some good footballing experiences in the city. There is surely vast footballing talent in the USA, but only in recent decades has it begun to seep through to the highest level, although the potential surely remains unexploited.
The Montreal Impact beat the New England Revolution 1-0 at Gillette Stadium tonight thanks to
a brilliant goal by Sanna Nyassi in the 61st minute.
It was a pretty drab first half with New England coming closest to scoring as first Tierney and
then Sene rattled the woodwork.
Montreal set the tome for the game early when Patrice Bernier was lucky not to be given a
straight red card for a brutal tackle on Benny Feilhaber inside the first ten minutes.
Sporting KC defeated DC United in 2-1 in Major League Soccer (MLS) on August 11, 2012. It's the
first home win for Sporting in their last home matches.
The match started out with Sporting dominating play and taking the lead in the 13th minute. Teal
Bunbury would head in a Graham Zusi corner kick to make it 1-0.
Will Tottenham finally get a win under AVB? - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
If you are looking for bankers to put in an acca then Spurs looks suitable material at 1.53 withÂ
Paddy Power to beat West Brom on Saturday (25th August 2012). The Baggies last win at White Hart
Lane came in November 1984, since then they have lost six and drawn two of their visits to north
London.
Spurs are a top priced 1.53 with Blue Square and Paddy Power to beat West Brom and the stats
suggest they will do just that. The Baggies last win at White Hart Lane came in November 1984,
since then they have lost six and drawn two of their visits to north London. They also have a poor
record in the capital winning just three and losing 22 of their 33 trips to London in the Premier
League.
When you sell your two best players during the summer, and let almost all of your most
experienced players leave on Bosman's, the fact that AC Milan lost 1-0 at home to newly promoted
Sampdoria probably should not be a surprise.
Still nobody gave Sampdoria much of a chance in the San Siro, but the Milan faithful were
stunned when
Andrea Costa scored the only goal of the game in the 58th minute from a corner and, although the
Rossoneri hit the woodwork twice, their fans made their feelings clear at the final whistle.
Michael Bradley and AS Roma took Fenway Park by storm on Wednesday night in Boston, defeating
Liverpool FC 2-1 in a preseason match. Bradley got on the scoresheet along with Alessandro Florenzi
for the winners, while Charlie Adam provided the sole consolation goal for the Reds.
The first half was actually dominated by Liverpool.
Brendan Rodgers does not want his Liverpool team to rely on goals from their strikers this
season.
The Reds manager says there is a need for all his outfield players to contribute, and he is keen
for there to be less emphasis on the number of goals from his forwards.
Liverpool drew a blank in their defeat to West Brom on the opening day of the Premier League
season, and Rodgers says they cannot simply look to their strikeforce to open their account.
The better team, dominant indeed for extended periods. Friedel has a quiet afternoon. That
superiority isn't converted into goals. Sure we come close, hit the woodwork maybe, but all the
flowing football means little if the chances aren't taken. Time passes, we fade, our opponents take
full advantage of rare but significant errors and we are punished, albeit with at least one
excellent strike.
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. After watching Kyle Teixeira score four first half goals, Benfica
Washington Park finally figured out a way to stop the skipper from finding the back of the net
on Sunday.
They waved the white flag at halftime.
In a match that was cut short at halftime at the request of their guests, East Providence
dominated for 45 minutes to earn a loud 5-0 win over Benfica WP at Riverside Rec Park.
When Liverpool win with a brilliant, unfathomable goal after creating very little from open play,
when Liverpool's opponent hit the woodwork and miss chance after chance, we probably shouldn't
complain. I doubt it need remind it was the absolute opposite last season, all season long.
The New England Revolution and Chicago Fire looked destined to play to a scoreless draw in Major
League Soccer's only match on Saturday, but Revs rookie Kelyn Rowe came on in the second half and
gave the home side a sorely-needed spark at Gillette Stadium.
The UCLA product scored the opening goal in the 69th minute, then set up a 73rd-minute insurange
goal from Benny Feilhaber to help lift New England to a 2-0 victory on Saturday night.
Aged 16 years and 98 days, Málaga forward Fabrice Olinga became the youngest scorer in Liga
history as his late goal earned the Champions League play-off contenders a 1-0 victory at promoted
RCelta de Vigo.
The second-half substitute made an immediate impact, first hitting the woodwork with a stinging
effort and then bundling the ball in off his thigh for an 84th-minute winner, thereby eclipsing
Iker Muniain's 2009 record by 191 days.
Add a lack of communication to the growing list of problems that the Revs are having in this
second half of the season. Tonight's match was perhaps most indicative of that, as the Revolution
strayed and mist-timed pass after pass, ultimately leading to their own demise at the hands of the
visiting Montreal Impact.

The local boys got a late game-winner by Jacob Moore as he rounded his defender on the right side
of the box, skipped past a second challenge and slid his shot to the near post as the keeper came
out.
No Need To Get Hysterical: It's Just a Friendly...In Asia Here we go...the prowling idiots who love

South Africa women's first game at the 2012 Olympics didn't go particularly well, losing 4-1 to

Stats, stats, everywhere a stat. Blocking out the scenery and breakin' my mind. Do this, don't
do that, can't you read the stats? Here's the most interesting of the diligently crunched numbers
from Euro 2012 (Spain feature quite highly)...
I got this video sent to me via e-mail, asking me to share and spread the word. I watched it and
by the end I felt confused. As an American soccer fan am I supposed to be amused or insulted? I
assume their implication is that major international tournaments, like the just completed Euro
2012, brings people like this out of the woodwork.
England once again were knocked out on penalty kicks in a major tournament. Italy were the
stronger side throughout the entire match and really deserved to advance.
The match started out with a frantic pace as both teams had very good chances including Italy's
Daniel De Rossi hitting the woodwork.
This article titled "Euro 2012: France take their chances to see off disappointing Ukraine" was
written by Stuart James in Donetsk, for The Guardian on Friday 15th June 2012 19.03 UTC
A match that will be remembered for the extraordinary thunderstorm that led to the players
leaving the pitch after little more than four minutes and play being suspended for the best part of
an hour, ended with France cruising to a comfortable victory against a Ukraine side that never came
close to reprising the performance they produced against Sweden.
With our HQ in full "TWO DAYS TO GO OMIGOD WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR?!" Euro 2012 mode, it seems

I love traveling to the USA, but normally, I do have a hard time finding places to watch football. All in all, this is still not a football country. However, today I did get a delightful surprise in Brooklyn New York. I was looking for a place to watch the South American qualifiers, and a friend told me to go to "Woodwork", on Vanderbilt avenue in Brooklyn.
Spain rattled the woodwork three times but suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Honduras
at St James Park and crashed out of the Olympics.
Jerry Bengtson's seventh-minute header, his third goal in two games, ensured that the Spaniards,
whose senior team are reigning World and European champions, will go home early following an
opening defeat by Group D leaders Japan.
It was a very good weekend for Reading United and their goal scoring ace, Deshorn Brown. The
temperature at kickoff at Albright College's Shirk Stadium was 94 degrees, but nothing has been
hotter than a Reading team that has re-discovered their scoring touch, thanks in large part to
Brown hitting the back of the net four times this weekend.
