Another Champion Crowned In An Odd Manner
By: chris | 5 Comments
You’ve got to love Eastern European football. While the rules of the game may be the same, the entire region seems to have these little quirks which turn mundane sentences into newsworthy nuggets. The Bulgarian Premier League is quickly becoming one of my favorite leagues for some of the happenings this season, particularly those in [...]

By: chris | 10 Comments
Regardless of how you feel about Chelsea or Frank Lampard himself, it was hard not to feel good for Frank when he scored his penalty after losing his mother just six days ago. It was something to see him just in the starting lineup, much less score a goal and play 120 minutes. Worthy of [...]

“Idiot” or “immigrant”? Which is the worse insult?
It all depends on who you ask.
Why does it matter? Because when you’re talking about justification for a fight, one is a racial insult, and one is just some gardener spouting obscenities at the guys on his grass.

Because you can’t have too much pre-Champions League excitement.
Goderdzi Makharadze – Good at Headers
By: Daryl | No Comments
With today’s Champions League semi final heavily influenced by a certain player’s inability to direct a football with his head, here’s video of a man who can. Georgian Goderdzi Makharadze broke the record for heading a soccer ball in the ’90s, by keeping a ball in the air with his head for 8 hours, 12 [...]

Chelsea 1 – Liverpool 1
If you don’t know how the score got that way you must’ve been in a coma for the last ten days. Either that or you’re a part of the Riise family and still in denial.
The first leg wasn’t historically terrible, but it certainly wasn’t one most (sane) people would choose [...]

Trivia question: Who was the first coach to win 100 MLS matches?
(**Answer at the bottom.**)
But who was the second? None other than Sigi Schmid, currently coach of the Columbus Crew. He reached the milestone this past weekend in the Crew’s 1-0 victory over the Houston Dynamo.
Sven To Be Canned, But What About The Puppet?
By: chris | 8 Comments
Judging by recent comments by human rights advocate and Man City owner Thaksin Shinawatra, the reports coming out today stating Sven-Goran Eriksson will be unemployed come the end of the year. Patient guy, that Thaksin. So the paychecks in Manchester will have a new coach to look forward to, but really, nobody really cares about [...]

I am officially not taking sides in the Champions League game between Manchester United and Barcelona, because we all know what happens when I take sides.
(Actually, I’m tempted to work hard at supporting ManU with all my heart. But alas, to quote my favorite philosophers, Monty Python, “It’s not as simple as [...]
Fabien Barthez Wants to Start a Goalkeeping Academy
By: Laurie | 2 Comments
When last we saw former France goalkeeper Fabien Barthez on these pages, he was getting attacked by his own fans in Nantes after failing to help them avoid relegation.
Since then, for some reason, he seems to have been lying low. Not sure why.
But now Barthez has resurfaced with plans. He wants [...]
