Soundoff: Who is Football’s Biggest Traitor?
By: Jan |

I’ve been surfing around looking for bloggable El Clásico related material. I came across pillow fights disguised as boxing, black magic and French C.Ronaldo impersonators, but I couldn’t find anything relevant, that hasn’t already been covered by our Barcelona and Real Madrid Offsides anyway. Then I found this little video, which chronicles El Clásico’s biggest [...]

(1m40s into the video – via 101GreatGoals)
For some imitation is the highest form of flattery. For Hull City’s Jimmy Bullard it’s just another brilliant addition to his growing body of work. For under fire manager Phil Brown, it’ll also be a welcome reminder that his relationship with the team is still intact and his campy [...]

I like the benefit of the doubt. Often times I give it for absolutely no reason at all. I’d like to believe that Uruguay’s Oli is secretly part canine and the Swiss keeper was emitting a high-pitched shriek which only Oli could hear and be pained by. Or maybe, as some have suggested, it’s merely [...]

It’s Thanksgiving Day here in the United States, a time to eat food and give thanks. (Unless you’re a turkey, in which case you do neither.)
About a week ago, I contacted all the Offside and World Cup Blog bloggers and asked them what football related thing they were thankful. Below you’ll find the collected responses.

Futebol Finance, Portuguese providers of shit you’re interested in, have released the yearly list of managerial salaries, which were actually release by a Spanish publication a few weeks back.
This year, much like last year, one name is far, far ahead of the rest. No, it’s not Fergie or Mourinho, but Luiz Felipe Chelsea Bust [...]

By: chris | 7 Comments
I gather I speak for many, if not most, when I say that seeing the best teams in the knockout stages is preferable – ’tis the Champions League after all.
But I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t thrilled at the prospect of not having to hear the British media bang on about the [...]

Isn’t it nice to see a compilation/trailer with a soundtrack which isn’t a thumping pop song which leaves one wanting for a wounded cow in labor? Or any song by Fort Minor?
This is the game of the day for Tuesday, and arguably the game of the week. Until this weekend, at least, when that quasi-friendly [...]

Have you seen it yet? You should. You really should. It’s a perfect example of the grasp of this thing they all the world wide web.
A fan of lowly Grimsby Town – very lowly – posted a furious letter on an unofficial fan site, and it has sprouted wings and flown off into the [...]

Presumably you’ve heard the scoreline already, if only because you can read headlines. That thrashing, the second worst in Premier League history, which will serve to haunt Wigan from now until the end of time. Made all the more insane in that five of the goals came via the boot of Jermain Defoe, a [...]

By: Daryl | 4 Comments
It’s behind you!
Poor Jurgen Sierens. The Roeselare keeper stopped a long-range shot from Anderlecht’s Moroccan midfielder Mbark Boussoufa, but then lost the ball. Sierens attempted to locate said spherical object with a 360 degree spin. Which was successful in that he found the ball, but unsuccessful in that he swept into his own net. Anderlecht [...]

By: Laurie | 34 Comments
– David vs. Goliath.
– Highest-salaried team in MLS vs. lowest.
– Most-written-about team vs one of the least.
– Western Conference winners vs. the team that just squeaked into the playoffs.
– Underdog vs. um… Overdog?
And yet the underdogs win it on penalties after dominating large periods of an intense, back-and-forth game.

This is what MLS has been waiting for; a chance to show off their trophy player and their showcase franchise, on the grandest stage they have to offer. In front of what is expected to be a tremendous audience at QWest Field in Seattle, MLS stars will be shining brightly in one of the [...]

Fernando Amorebieta would make Hulk Hogan get all misty eyed with this performance. But where is the follow up leg drop?
(I hope some of you watched wrestling as kids . . . if not? That reference just flew straight over your head)
Now somebody get Messi an ice pack!
When Roy Keane Attacks: Five Survival Strategies
By: Laurie | 9 Comments
First, a confession: I kind of love Ipswich Town manager and former Ireland captain Roy Keane. (Even though he terrifies me.) Must say, though, that I was glad it wasn’t my cell phone going off in the middle of a press conference this week. Because let’s face it: the man [...]
