So Shevchenko has finally ended his Chelsea nightmare and rejoined Dynamo Kiev. Once the most feared striker in the world, he never really made an impact at Chelsea, which is a shame because it has tainted his once fearsome reputation, and he seemed to deal with the whole situation with some dignity.
Regardless, there is [...]
Ballon d’Or Point Totals Make Franck Ribery Unhappy.
By: chris | 15 Comments
The Ballon d’Or is nothing if not a lightning rod for controversy and year-long verbal sparring matches with inflatable gloves. Yes, some deserving players win it. Others not so deserving also win it. In short, it’s like nearly every other award handed out by any other organization in the world.

By: chris | 4 Comments
There are a few things all Italians can agree on when it comes to calcio. One is obviously the Azzurri. Another is that they’d all have Gianluigi Buffon’s babies, which is kind of a subcategory of the first one, but worthy of its own statement regardless.

The guy on the ground? Pablo Daniel Osvaldo, after delivering the winning goal. Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon can only watch as it flies by him and into the net.
(Heehee. I hate Buffon. Don’t know why. A repressed memory somewhere? Maybe something to do with…World Cup? Final? [...]
You Say Who Is The 6th Best Keeper In The World?
By: chris | 11 Comments
With 2007 getting further and further down the road in the rear view, more time for analysis has been allowed, but it doesn’t seem to have helped any. IFFHS, which is basically an acronym for “statistical everything”, has come out with their annual listing of the best keeper in the world for last year, which [...]

A new installment in the weekly “10 Things We Learned About…” series. This one of the Italian variety.
1. Antonio Cassano is a train wreck.
No, this is not a revolutionary discovery which is followed by a loud exclamation of “eureka!”. But this time Antonio somehow managed to bring himself to a whole new level by throwing [...]
