They are off to a fine start in the English Premier League and they could very well advance to the knockout phase of the Champions League with a win today over Barcelona, but it is going to be a cold, sad winter for the Chelsea players. According to those in the know (or at […]

The video below comes from the world of Showbol in Brazil, which appears to be some form of indoor soccer. I love how the attacking player has the goalkeeper at his mercy and mocks him during the play, yet he still doesn’t score. The replay at the 34 second mark shows it best.

Sometimes the big games fail to live up to the hype, but Saturday’s version of the Milan Derby was as exciting as any of the 264 encounters between Inter Milan and AC Milan that proceeded it. The match saw a blistering start by Inter Milan, Marco Materazzi sent off for celebrating a goal, a […]
