Dass Ronaldinho ein brillanter Techniker ist, steht ohne Zweifel fest. Dass er auch einen sehr strammen Schuss hat, zeigt er nicht so häufig. Aber wenn, dann klingelt es gewaltig im Kasten des Gegners, wie hier im UEFA-Cup-Spiel zwischen dem AC Mailand und Sporting Braga. Dieses Tor in der 93.

Wer jetzt Obszönes denkt, liegt vollkommen daneben. Rémi Maréval seines Zeichens Abwehrspiel beim FC Nantes hat am 11. Spieltag der Ligue 1 im Spiel gegen Olympique Marseille gezeigt was ein satter Torschuss ist.

Für den FC Nantes hat es zwar nur zu einem Unentschieden gereicht, aber immerhin wurde Marévals Hammerschuss vom englischen Spoiler Blog zum besten Tor des letzten Wochenendes gewählt.

Must read article of the year at Forbes.com. It's great to see them finally doing this with MLS, as they've been doing it for other sports for years. Based on last year's data, 3 teams made a profit (LA, TOR, DAL). Overall, not counting San Jose, the league lost $20 million with $166 million in revenue. Click to continue reading...

Found this over on TOR and thought it was worth a post.








I especially liked Deuce's contrast between playing in Europe vs. playing away in CONCACAF. Clearly there's more to it as those on the receiving end of racist taunts in parts of Europe could attest. Click to continue reading...

You may have seen that recent post over at The Original Winger about former Chivas USA and K.C. Wizards forward Matt Taylor signing with German second division side TuS Koblenz recently. Even more recently, Taylor himself wrote a lengthy & insightful post over there about how he came to end up amongst the Germans and what it took to get him there. Click to continue reading...

Happy Monday everybody. Let me start the day with an update on two hotly anticipated (by me at least) DVD's from MLS Films. If you've been dropping into TOR with any regularity you've already heard about the upcoming MLS Gambreakers DVD that's been on the bench for a while. Well the word I'm getting is that it will finally making it's way on the field August 26th and is available for pre-order from A&E. Click to continue reading...

Somebody over at EA Sports reads BrooklynVegan something fierce and I ain't mad at that. The tracklisting for FIFA09 was released today and I could have sworn I was looking at a list of bookings for the Mojave stage at Coachella festival. It's almost as if the target demo for this game is people who have ever uttered the phrase "what time does Daft Punk go on? Click to continue reading...

Ohne das ganze Theater um die Abstellungspflicht von Spielern für das olympische Fußballturnier 2008 in Peking, hätte sich in Europa vermutlich kaum jemand dafür interessiert. So dürfte dem Turnier allerdings eine ganze Menge Aufmerksamkeit zukommen.

Werder Bremen und Schalke 04 hatten bereits eingelenkt und Diego sowie Rafinha dürften sich gefreut haben.

Der Jugendwahn bei Arsenal London kennt keine Grenzen. Arsène Wenger hat mit dem 16-jährigen Jack Wilshere ein weiteres junges Talent in den Profikader berufen. Als nomineller Mittelfeldspieler hat Wilshere eine erstaunliche Torquote aufzuweisen. Für die U18 von Arsenal London schoss er in der vergangenen Saison in 19 Spielen 13 Tore.

Aw, remember that one? What a classic that was. It's no American Gothic but around these parts it's what passes for high art.

Below are some of my favorite photos and captions from TOR's past. My love of marrying a good photo with periods and Helvetica may have gone to far on occasion but that's no reason to stop. Click to continue reading...

But you could please refrain from the gay, religion & race-based put downs in the comments; I'm not trying to provide a forum for furthering anyones racist or homophopic agenda's. If you don't like TOR I am very ok with that and don't mind you not visiting. However if you want to hang out, be cool. Please feel free to email me (and not be anonymous) if you have an issue.

So we're finally at the point were I give a damn about Euro 08. TOR is throwing it's unsubstantial weight behind the Portuguese, and not just because they are playing almost as pretty at the Dutch or because their women are the only thing at the tournament that is prettier than the Dutch.

If I could just say that I'm very much down with the 2008 All-Star game halftime entertainment selection. Estelle is a tiny little thing from London who runs around with John Legend and Kanye West. Her jam "Wait a Minute" was one the office jams at TOR Towers this past winter and the follow-up "American Boy" wasn't bad either. Click to continue reading...

Mit diesem fulminanten Schuss in der 13. Minute besiegelte Paul Scholes gestern das Aus des FC Barcelona in der diesjährigen Champions League und die Finalteilnahme von Manchester United. In 3 Halbfinalspielen wurden bisher gerade mal 3 Tore geschossen.

Für das heutige Halbfinal-Rückspiel zwischen Liverpool und Chelsea hat der spanische Stürmerstar Fernando Torres Tore angekündigt.

Die Bildzeitung hat sich wieder einmal selbst übertroffen. Unter dem Titel GOMEZ - Dieses Tor war GENI(T)AL wird das 1:0 meines Nachnamensvetters Mario Gómez vom letzten Samstag im Spiel VfB Stuttgart gegen den FC Bayern genauer unter die Lupe genommen.

Mario Gómez machte angeblich folgende Aussage zum Körperteil, mit dem er das Tor geschossen hat: Es ist groß – und es tat fürchterlich weh.
