Juande Ramos shuffles Tottenham pack and pleads for patience

0
It must feel like one step forward and two steps back for Juande Ramos, the Tottenham Hotspur head coach, since the Carling Cup final triumph over Chelsea in February. With only four victories in 18 competitive matches, and none this season, the North London club will try to use the Uefa Cup to kick-start their campaign. Click to continue reading...

Kyiv v Arsenal: Song Replaces Eboue In Starting XI

1
Arsenal midfielder Alexander Song has been drafted into the starting line-up ahead of tonights Champions League group stage tie against Dynamo Kyiv. The versatile Cameroonian replaces Emmanuel Eboue - who sustained a knock in the 4-0 triumph over Blackburn on Saturday - and should 'bulk' up what looks like a physically weak midfield.

Pepe Positive After Liverpool Win

1
Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina is in a positive state of mind after his side came from behind to claim three points in Marseille last night.

Liverpool were trailing to Lorik Cana's opener before Steven Gerrard rescued the tie with a brace at the other end. The Reds captain netted a twice taken penalty kick to put alongside his fantastic leveller from 25 yards. Click to continue reading...

Nobody Can Take This Away From Us…But They Can Buy It From Me

0
You see it from time to time: an athlete or coach selling the symbol of their ultimate triumph. This time around, it's a 1977 Seattle Sounders NASL Soccer Bowl championship ring. Supposedly it's a "**100% AUTHENTIC PLAYER'S CHAMPIONSHIP RING**" One problem: the Sounders didn't actually win Soccer Bowl '77. Click to continue reading...

Should Juande Ramos be worried?

1
Not for the first time over the past few seasons, Tottenham have let their expectant fans down with a very poor start to the season. Sitting rock bottom of the Premier League with just one point from four games is a million miles away from where Tottenham fans and Ramos himself, would have expected them to be.

The Dutch international forward came off the bench to score the winner in the 77th minute of the 2-1 triumph for Rafa Benitez's side.

2010 World Cup Qualifying: Ghosts of past haunt France and England

0
Memories of England's sole triumph are sepia-tinted in going back to 1966 - but at least they picked up three points, albeit at the expense of little Andorra, in their opening game, while a directionless France were capitulating 3-1 in Austria.

Few surprises

0
Having switched off from football for two weeks (hey, we all need a break from time to time), I return to find Real Madrid has, in that time:
  • - won the season's first title in contention (the Spanish supercup against Valencia)
  • - lost the league opener away to Deportivo
  • - sold Robinho to Manchester City for a club record €40 million

Which of these is the most surprising news item? Click to continue reading...

A conservative pattern

Put me on the list of those who were unimpressed by the National Team's "historic triumph" in Guatemala City two weeks ago.

Has anyone every heard this before about Arena?

From Gardner's weekly moan: In 1996 Arena made the switch from college soccer to MLS — a risky move, but one that he soon turned into a triumph, leading D.C. United to the first two MLS championships, and giving the league what still remains, for me, its best-ever team. That team was built around the superb skills [. Click to continue reading...

Eur-angovers

1
A couple post-Euro 2008 thoughts before a little July 4 break... * Cesc Fabregas is 21. Sergio Ramos is 22. They both were major contributors on Spain's Euro triumph. As an American this sort of irks me, considering how timid the U.S. soccer program can be at times. There is an age discrepancy, but there is no reason to baby Jozy Atlidore and Freddy Adu.

Xavi Named Best Player of Euro 2008

1
Uefa have named Barcelona and Spain playmaker Xavi as the best player of Euro 2008.

The midfielder has been outstanding in his team's tournament triumph. I have previously called Xavi the best midfielder in the world. His display in Euro 2008 reinforced my opinion. Of course he was the leading passer in the whole tournament, as he is in every tournament in which he participates. Click to continue reading...
