Name To Remember: Danijel Aleksic

By: chris | Comments No Comments

If you’re been paying attention to various broadsheets carefully this year, Danijel Aleksic isn’t a new name. And if you believe those papers, everyone in Europe wants Aleksic. Really – if you cared to do enough research/have no life, I’m sure you’d find he’s been linked to every single big(ish) team on the continent in [...]

Name To Remember: 7 Year Old Soufiane – ‘The New Madin’.

By: chris | Comments 8 Comments

Remember Madin Mohammed? So yesterday. To the extent that there’s already a new version.
Meet Soufiane. He’s seven years old – only just seven at that – and he’s better at football than you. Like Madin and that Zidane character (along with Nasri, Benzema, etc), Soufiane was born in France of Algerian parentage, which begs the [...]

Name To Remember: Marko Arnautovic

By: chris | Comments 8 Comments

This is borderline name to remember/name you soon won’t forget.
It seems we can’t go a day without being bombarded by the hype machine of the “new so and so”. From the new Kaka – all one hundred thousand of them – to the new Franz Beckenbauer to the new Patrick Vieira (anyone of African origin [...]

Name To Remember: Marc Janko.

By: chris | Comments 3 Comments

There was a link to the story on Marc Janko with FIFA in the Daily Dose yesterday, so I decided to check out the Red Bull Salzburg match this evening to catch a glimpse of this goalscoring monster and all I can muster is…wow. The Austrian Bundesliga isn’t exactly a top drawer league, but it’s [...]

Name To Remember: Alan Dzagoev

By: chris | Comments 3 Comments

Andrei Arshavin’s the now, but the future is fast approaching for the Russian National Team with 18 year old Alan Dzagoev on a meteoric rise. I’d bookmarked a video last week as a reminder to write something up and, of course, I forgot. So Alan took it upon himself to remind me today by scoring [...]

Name to Remember: Tresor Mputu

By: chris | Comments 3 Comments

His name has been floating about for some time as the latest unpolished diamond the emerge from the heart of Africa, but without a concrete deal on the continent, he’s been biding his time back in the DR Congo, his homeland. Now, one year after a trial with Arsenal, interest is finally heating up across [...]

The Offside Euro 2008 Champion: Charles Snyder

By: Dave Martinez | Comments 5 Comments

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 [...]

Name to Remember: Fernando Forestieri

By: Martha | Comments 3 Comments

Born (of Italian parents) in Rosario, Argentina, Fernando Forestieri’s first club was Newell’s Old Boys, a team he joined when he was very young. In addition, he’s tiny, aggressive, and brilliant on the ball; given those superficial similarities, it’s no surprise he’s already being called “The Heir to Messi.” The label, obviously, is utterly laughable [...]
