A goalkeeping howler of epic proportions "Hey, Gennaro. Welcome to goalkeeping school. Lesson one: under no circumstances do you walk across your goalline with the ball in your possession. It's sort of like doing the opposition's job for them. Got that?" Sadly he hadn't, and this was painfully exposed during Nancy's Uefa Cup tie with Lech Poznań [. Click to continue reading...

Nancy goalkeeper Gennaro Bracigliano will want to forget about this one, from last night's 2-2 draw away to Lech Poznan in the UEFA Cup. Semir Stilic's free kick looked easy enough to deal with.

As everyone's probably already heard, Fabio Grosso went down in the 18th min of Italy's 2-1 win over Cyprus. Fabio left the game with an injury to his flank. The diagnosis is two fractured ribs. It's believed he will be out of the Lyon line-up for at least one month. That amounts to Grosso missing at least (6) matches.

Lyon used three unanswered goals in less than 10 minutes to overcome a 2-0 Le Mans lead.

Le Mans opened the scoring thanks to Stephane Sessengon as [...] Click to continue reading...
