I Fink he's talking Turkey. Did you gobble it up?

Jesse not finking this week

But when you write for a Professional Football site in Australia like our Jesse, "I want Nicky Carle, and Arnie must go", Fink. Click to continue reading...

Wondergoal: Johan Cruyff

1
JC made a lot of great great goals... If Van Basten's volley is the quintessential Oranje goal ever, this goal is Barcelona's most beautiful. Despite Romario, Stoichkov, Ronaldinho, Messi... JC made the best goal ever for Barca, against Atletico Madrid. The balance, the timing, the touch... And to be honest, Click to continue reading...

Mario Jardel is back

0
but this time he's Scottish and he's playing for Queensland Roar.

Charlie Miller is doing his best to impersonate Mario Jardel. He's got the whole belly thing off pat.

Even wears the shirt the same.

He looks like he's come from a Scottish pub just before the game, but he did play in the 3 degree Summer A-League kick-off game for the Roar in Wellington. Click to continue reading...

Barcelona's New Look Defence: An Analysis

0
The concept of defence has never been a popular one at the Nou Camp. After all, why would a crowd fed on a diet of Cruyff, Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and Messi, to name just a few, care about what happens on the other end of the field?


Alves will help... Click to continue reading...

Emerton, Skoko..forget it!

0
Brett Emerton, 29, has signed for Blackburn for four more years. And Josip Skoko, 32, has gone back to play in Croatia for Hadjuk Split.
Fair enough. But don't come back to the A-League Emo and Josip after these contracts run out. You'll be too old, too slow.


Emo has talked about playing in Sydney while he still has something left. Click to continue reading...

One big, lazy, coming-home post

1
So yeah, we're headed to the airport in a couple hours. I figured I'd try to scramble some stuff into a mess post since it'll be a while 'til I arrive.

I think it's over 24 hours from departure to arrival with all the transfers and layovers. Bah.

Anyways, I've embeded a couple soccer featurettes from ESPN and sandwiched some links in between. Click to continue reading...

San Marino Becoming Superstars R Us

3
When one thinks of footballing in the Most Serene Republic of San Marino, the Champions League doesn't exactly come to mind. More often it's as the recipient of a thorough beatdown - particularly for Germans - or as the cutsie little nation in those adidas commercials featuring Jose Mourinho & Friends.

Romario - Man of 1000 Goals

2
He scored tap-ins. He scored one on ones. He scored from long range. He scored volleys, chips and headers. He scored flicks. He scored the outrageous, the routine and the sublime. Left foot, right foot, outside of the foot and toe pokes. Be they in World Cups, European Cups or youth tournaments, over an illustrious career that has spanned some 23 years 'O Baixinho' (The Shorty) otherwise known Click to continue reading...

The End of The Ro-Ro

1

A little while ago now we brought you the sad news that perhaps the greatest striker I have ever seen was being forced to retire after a recurrence of a knee injury that had plagued him for several years. The Brazilian maestro Ronaldo was my idol growing up in the game, and the forward above all others that I aspired to be.

A Romario le quieren quitar su estatua gol 1000

0
La estatua que el Vasco da Gama inauguró el año pasado en homenaje a Romario puede ser retirada si el jugador ficha por el Flamengo para poner fin a su dilatada carrera, advirtió el martes el presidente del club, Eurico Miranda.
Entre pleitos se fue del Vasco como técnico-jugador por quererle imponer a un jugador y ahora la estatua del gol 1000 puede desaparecer. Click to continue reading...

Two down, two left

 That's the situation for Argentine clubs in the Copa Sudamericana following last night's second leg in Morumbí, where Sao Paulo gained revenge for last year's Recopa defeat with a 1-0 win over Boca Juniors which puts the Libertadores champions out in the first round proper. Aloísio scored the game's only goal, and the Brazilians are [...] Click to continue reading...
