While all were oohing and aahing over Barcelona’s sex on a pitch football and the free-spending ways of Florentino Perez returning to Madrid, the biggest difference maker in Spanish football was lurking under the Spanish limelight. In fact it was lurking so far under the Spanish limelight it was in Britain.
That, you see, is [...]

[Spotted on l'OM Offside]
Fantastique blog fodder from Marseille’s favorite bench-riding l’enfant terrible Hatem Ben Arfa, who had a slight wardrobe malfunction this weekend. Summoned to enter a losing cause, Hatem whipped off his tracksuit to unsuspectingly unveil a #11 Mamadou Niang kit adorning his back. Not having legally changed his name, he was forced to [...]
Sunday MLS Playoff Roundup
By: Dave Martinez | 3 Comments
Today was in stark contrast to the mediocre playoff showings of yesterday, as all teams were playing with a little extra something. Maybe they were bored out of their minds while watching Columbus’ performance yesterday too. Regardless, there was a great atmosphere in todays games, especially in anticipation of David Beckham’s first venture [...]
Podolski’s Struggles At Köln Continue
By: Dave Martinez | 3 Comments
“We have all got to question ourselves, me included. We have a week and we have got to try to get our self-confidence back by discussing things. Otherwise, there’s no point even going to (Hertha) Berlin. We may as well stay here.”
“I can understand the fans’ disappointment. We were weak and deserved to lose. [...]
Three Years Later, Beckham Finally In MLS Postseason
By: Dave Martinez | 1 Comment
Two dreadful seasons that have been plagued with injuries, mismanagement, power struggles, coaching changes, confusion, inner turmoil, and a very revealing book highlighting the insurrection of a misguided and torn team have bought David Beckham to a place he has never been before; the MLS Postseason.
Quite the road, eh?
Is This Really Rafa’s Fault?
By: Dave Martinez | 21 Comments
This was the face that told the story, as Liverpool was stunned at Craven Cottage yesterday, taking a 3-1 loss with them into their Champions League clash against Lyon this Wednesday. (So much for that Manchester United revival, huh guys?)
The loss thrusts the spotlight back on Rafa Benitez. But is such scrutiny deserved? [...]

David Bcekham’s loan move from LA Galaxy to Milan will apparently be announced in the next few hours. It may have already happened by the time you read this.
In the words of Milan VP Adriano Galliano:
“The agreement for David Beckham has been completed. In a few hours we and Galaxy will officially announce this deal [...]

By: Daryl | 30 Comments
You know how Mario Balotelli is supremely talented but a little immature? Well last night we saw both sides again.
In the opening minutes of Inter vs Palermo, Balotelli worked some magic in the box and was pulled down for a penalty. A penalty Balotelli wanted to take. So much so that he stood over the [...]

By: Daryl | 4 Comments
Liverpool’s win over Man Utd got all the Premier League attention this weekend, so Ivan Klasnić giving us yet more proof of his indestructibility went a little more under the radar than perhaps it deserved to.
You probably remember Klasnić as the Croatian striker who suffered kidney failure while playing for Werder Bremen in 2007, and [...]
Don’t You Know Who Marlon King Is? (Allegedly.)
By: chris | 6 Comments
Marlon King was once infamously described as being a £60m footballer by Watford, what with him being their key to Premiership involvement. Turns out he was neither the key nor was he worth that amount of money. Rather he was worth £3m two years ago before delving into journeyman loan status, which puts him as [...]

The Major League Soccer regular season is done. Columbus Crew took the Supporters Shield for the second year in a row, and if it was up to some fans (myself included) then that would be that. Crew would be champions of the imaginary MLS single table, Galaxy would be runners up, Houston third and so [...]

“It is a ball boys’ world and we are all just living in it.” – Bob Kellett
Just like a good referee, good ball boys work in the background. They are invisibly pulling the strings. They control the supply of new balls like the OPEC controls the oil – independent from demand. It’s only in desperate [...]
