Henk ten Cate, the head coach of Ajax Amsterdam, told Chelsea that he will not be working under
Avram Grant. Ten Cate also demanded an assurance that he would be part of a team headed by Dutch
Guus Hiddink, who is still coach for the Russian national team. Ten Cate has been talking to former

Yesterday night, after PSV eased past the second team of SC Heerenveen 3-0, nothing seemed to be
amiss. But early this morning it was confirmed that the Dutch champions will be removed from the
competition thanks to a administrative error. The error made was the inclusion of Portugese
defender Manuel da Costa, who still carried [...]

In no particular order we've identified these teams with the most feared offensive units (minimum
three players) in European football. Is it exhaustive? Nope. Is it more reliable and trustworthy
than Britney Spears or Paris Hilton? You bet. Please feel free to add to it or even debate it in
our forums section! Remember to [...]

Afonso Alves, SC Heerenveen's prodigal son returns from Absence Without Leave (AWOL). Alves
left Heerenveen to play an international match with Brazil but after that went missing. Afonso
Alves is a strange case, not a nutcase, just that he won an award for Player of the Year but
doesn't show up. Sources say that [...]

Ajax has won the much anticipated match versus AZ Alkmaar with 3-2. The spectacular match had
everything that made it an exciting one, tense moments in front of goal, questionable referee
decisions but what it lacked was composure and exciting football. Ajax was the better finisher in
front of goal and that was the sole [...]

-Nice to see Michael Owen is having quite the impact with England. The Brits bagged a crucial three
points as they downed Russia 3-0 in Group E action. Interestingly, England responded well with back
to back victories over tough opponents in Israel and the Russians without David Beckham and Frank
Lampard. I'm not touching [...]

FC Dallas (am I the only one who has a hard time taking seriously the "FC" and "Real" monikers with
MLS teams?) recently swooped in on a significant move with the signing of Brazilian attacking
midfielder Denilson. While David Beckham has been hogging (ironic given his passing skills) the
spotlight, Denilson has quietly brought [...]

A little more than a year ago noone, except maybe some handful of Swedish fans, knew who Afonso
Alves was. Since then his status has risen atmospherically, catapulting the Brazilian striker into
the national team of Brazil and making him a wanted target for several of Europe's bigger clubs.
Suddenly Alves seems to think [...]

2 games down and 36 to go for this baby to settle its Scudetto champion. Cagliari 2 Juventus 3 Open
and fluid soccer accentuated this game. Juve's world class strike force (Alessandro -or is it Alex?
- Del Piero tallied as well as David Trezeguet with his league leading 4th goal and 99th of his
Serie [...]

In a crowded Amsterdam Arena Ajax drew 2-2 FC Groningen yesterday. It was going to be quite loaded
given that Ajax bought Luis Suarez from FC Groningen this summer in a controversial transfer.
However, this alone wasn't the reason why this match was going to be fully charged. First among
them is [...]

Life of a football fan can be hard, I know. Especially if you support teams that are used to
winning. So with neither Tottenham and PSV managing to win their matches, I can't say that last
weekend left me too thrilled. The draw of PSV was a fairly dull one, Twente and PSV were equally

I was watching Juventus striker David Trezeguet score his 99th career Serie A goal today and
thought to myself who is the greatest French striker of our generation? Is it Trezeguet? Thierry
Henry? I'll even stretch this out a little. Since both played in Italy, which league is the
toughest league to score goals? [...]

Champion Leagues holders AC Milan won a record 5th Super Cup title with a sound 3-1 win over UEFA
champions Sevilla. Renato open the scoring for Sevilla, but driven by the class play of Alessandro
Nesta and Andrea Pirlo, Milan hit back with three unanswered goals from Filippo Inzaghi (who
else?), Marek Jankulovski and Kaka [...]

Before the match everybody in Holland, well not everybody but alot of people, were confident that
Ajax was going to go in and win this match. They would just go in there and bend the 1-0 loss into
a comfortable win. And with won matches in the Dutch Eredivisie against SC Heerenveen 4-1 and [...]
