Over three weeks of tournament action and only one country stood tall: Sweden. Ibrahimovich proved to be unstoppable in the virtual world, earning glory for his country where the real world left a bit to be desired. Standing in the finals against a tough Croatian squad, they dispatched their opponents 2-1 for [...]

There were a lot of goals in the 2007/8 Eredivisie. About ten billion at last count, so well done to Setanta for sorting thruogh the pile and picking their favourites. And well done to the YouTuber who made the goals available to the whole world. Here are the goal scorers:

The KNVB has taken the advice of nearly everybody involved with Dutch football and scrapped the playoff system which decides who goes to Europe and to which competition. As it stood, the teams which finished 2nd thru 5th went into a two-tiered playoff of home and away legs, in which the 5th plays the 2nd, [...]

By: Inara | 4 Comments
Though there’s still several weeks left in most European football leagues, some domestic title races are already over. In Portugal, Porto were declared champions (though they might be relegated) while in Greece, Olympiakos won their 36th title (thanks in part to a court decision).
This weekend could see a few more clubs step into the [...]
Weekend Recap: Heartbreak and/or Male-Bonding Hugs
By: Laurie | 5 Comments
It’s that nailbiting time of the season in most leagues, especially for those teams that are close to the top and in the title race, or close to the bottom and facing relegation. So how did some of the games from the weekend turn out?
Saturday’s games:

By: Laurie | 13 Comments
The other day we talked about the rather depressing subject of relegation. Today though? The sun is shining, so let’s move on to a much happier topic: Promotion. What second-level European teams may be moving up to the top flight?
This is not just a pride issue. It’s a huge [...]
If Relegation Happened Today, Who Would Go Down?
By: Laurie | 13 Comments
Ah, relegation. It’s every club’s biggest dread. (With the probable exceptions of the EPL’s Derby County, or French Ligue 1’s Metz, or SPL’s Gretna, where death might be the only event better able to offer pain relief.) And it’s a rite of passage around the world.
(Unless, of course, you’re American.)
Relegation [...]

Anybody speak Dutch? Was this match really postponed due to flaming toilet paper? That’s certainly what it looks like in the video.
Damn, I love European football.

A small sampling of the games available this weekend for your viewing pleasure.
Saturday
US Women’s NT vs. Canada
Both teams have qualified for the Olympics, so this final game is for bragging rights and the ability to say they’re the women’s CONCACAF champions.
The US women are heading to China this summer after defeating [...]

By: chris | 10 Comments
We’re hitting that part of the season where transfer rumors go from “ah, we’ll see in six months” to “oh, maybe we should be thinking about these a little”. Two of the best young names hitting the marker hard right about now are Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Mario Gomez. Tall, technically gifted and extraordinarily prolific [...]
10 People We’d Like Not To Star In A Sex Tape
By: chris | 10 Comments
Sex tapes with young athletes are one thing, I suppose, for those of you are into that sort of thing. Sex tapes involving the likes of Paul Jewell, however, is an entirely different matter. It’s safe to say no one benefits from watching Pauly get down and dirty with unnamed blond women, no matter [...]

Bless the Eredivisie, if it doesn’t produce the most goal-filled games in Europe*. This weekend was more of the same, as Heerenveen came from 3-1 down to beat Roda 4-3. Young American midfielder Michael Bradley scored two for Heerenveen, including this magnificent volley for the winner. It takes an impressive degree of technique and bendyness [...]

Alright, at least the first two-thirds. Or maybe not; there may have been phenomenal goals being scored ad nauseam in Luxembourg today, we’d just never know. Up above in a 3-3 draw from Vitesse and NAC Breda (Defense in the Eredivisie? Nevah!), Rogier Molhoek of NAC Breda shows that he don’t need no teammates with [...]
Dutch Police Clog up the Eredivise Title Race (sorry)
By: Daryl | 1 Comment
Not a great week for Ajax fans. First the return of the hallowed Johan Cruyff (who’s like the Kevin Keegan of Ajax, except he knows about football) ended in shambles. Cruyff had been brought in to revamp the Ajax set up, but when he tried to do exactly that with an overhaul of the youth [...]
