Sarah Brandner: The New Mrs. Shevchenko

2008-12-01T23:30:47+00:00

Bastian Schweinsteiger is, and let's call a spade a spade here, an ugly bastard. An ugly bastard dude with money and fame, which tends to attract shallow beer-guzzling, pseudo-model types like Ms. Brandner over there. (See....nearly every WAG imaginable.) And they're in love, which is nice. But she's not the only one who's in love [.

We're back and better than ever, after a two week absence that actually lasted three weeks (you have MLS Cup to thank for that. Covering U.S. soccer is a very consuming effort, but somebody's got to do it). But a lot has happened so let's get to it:

Juventus 4-0 Reggina: Saint Bernards Needed in Turin… (Serie A Matchday 14)

2008-11-30T19:24:37+00:00

There was one hell of a snowstorm in Northern Italy Saturday, and rescue operations are undergoing at Turin's Stadio Olimpico. It seems that many Reggina players are still buried under the snow, something which down in Calabria they evidently don't get to see a lot of. The same cannot be said for Juventus, who welcomed [.

2008-11-27T14:30:56+00:00

The Cinderellas are in group B, not A. Cluj was the underdog-come-good story to start out the campaign, and deservedly so. They beat Roma - though who didn't earlier in the season - and nil-niled (yes, that's a verb) with a then high-flying Chelsea team. Now, however, they've come back down to earth, and will be [.

Don't touch the ref. For most of the bright readers 'round these parts, this isn't exactly a revelation. Actually, if one was to take a poll at a local zoo, you probably wouldn't find too many wide eyes until stumbling upon the lemur cage. Not the case for Oleksandr Aliev, who pushed the ref away and [.

2008-11-26T01:26:26+00:00

Claudio Ranieri had warned Zenit he wasn't planning to fold today, and that Champions League matches are never considered "friendly", with or without the mathematical certainty of qualification. And that is why Juve's manager sent his boys to play offensive football in Russia, keeping squad rotation to a minimum and concentration at its fullest.

Paulo Sousa a new QPR boss ?

2008-11-23T10:47:26+00:00

We already wrote that QPR needs new manager. New "smart thing" QPR owner, Flavio Briatore, said is that the new manager of the London team will be ex-Portugal cap and coach-rookie, Paulo Sousa.
