I wonder what other players call Messi (hobbit, imp, etc...)?
Mid-Day Ticker: Di Matteo's fate up in the air, Barcelona defends Messi & more
If preparing to manage the Champions League final wasn't creating enough pressure for Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo, perhaps doing so with his job status up in the air will. Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay has told the interim manager that no decision on his fate will be made until after ...
I guess "Ballon d'Or" translates to missed PK.
UCL Rewind: Bayern Munich shocks Real Madrid in PKs to reach final
By JOHN BOSCHINI Two days of breathtaking UEFA Champions League semifinal play are complete, and with the dust settled, neither of the two Spanish favorites will be playing for Europe's greatest prize. Bayern Munich defeated Real Madrid on penalty kicks and will play for the UEFA Champions L...
It was a horrible way to be knocked out of the tournament. And I'm sure the players are infinitely more "gutted" than the fans, so give them a little slack.
On the positive side, the US has a lot talent coming up through the ranks. Hopefully with the right club teams, and training, some will come to fruition in the next 2-6 years.
Klinsmann discusses USA's Olympic qualifying disappointment
U.S. Men's national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann was in Nashville for last night's Olympic Qualifying debacle and had plenty to say about it, about the U.S. team and the future of the players and head coach Caleb Porter. Here are Klinsmann's comments from last night (and apologies for spellin...
That sux. At least he got to play for the first half of the season.
Ingolstadt terminates Buddle's contract
Edson Buddle's European venture has come to a screeching halt. Despite Buddle scoring six goals for FC Ingolstadt this season, the club released him from his contract Tuesday for unspecified reasons. Buddle had been sent away from the team prior to the 2. Bundesliga's winter break, the first...
Unfit, slower, and just back from holiday, yet Henry clinically finishes from the same spot that Arshavin shoots into the net.
Henry scores winner in return to Arsenal
In a game that was begging for a special moment, Thierry Henry stepped up to the task to resume his duties as Arsenal's king. Ten minutes after making his return to the field as a substitute for Arsenal, Henry delivered a game-winning goal to lift the Gunners in the fourth round of the FA C...
I think the suspension is warranted. I can't believe behavior like this still exists on the pitch. If you can't handle your business on the pitch with your athletic abilities, then you don't belong on the pitch.
Suarez dealt 8-game ban for Evra incident
England's Football Association has sent Liverpool striker Luis Suarez quite the message. Suarez was handed an eight-game ban and fined £40,000 after the FA found him guilty of misconduct for using racist remarks toward Manchester United fullback Patrice Evra when their two clubs met on Oct. ...
Somehow AVB continues to get a spark out of that turd team. Bravo to him.
Soccer Monday: Your Running Commentary
There are just two games on the slate today, but when those two games are as good Manchester City-Chelsea (3pm, ESPN2) and Roma-Juventus (2:30pm, Fox Soccer Channel), it makes for a special afternoon. Manchester City will look to keep their stranglehold on the Premier League lead with a win,...
I'm a Denmark believer, also. All the games in B will be quality. Would be nice to see Russia make a long run too.
Germany, Netherlands drawn together into Group of Death for Euro 2012
With co-hosts Poland and Ukraine placed in the first pot of the Euro 2012 draw, there was bound to be at least one brutally-tough group in next summer's tournament. Group B gets the distinction as being the Group of Death, as the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal and Denmark will vie for two sp...
Denmark will be in the final.
Pots set for Euro 2012 draw
With the completion of Tuesday's Euro 2012 playoff qualifiers, the four pots are set for next month's finals draw, and there's a pretty solid chance that we could see some stacked groups in the summer. Co-hosts Poland and Ukraine occupying two of the four spots in the top pot, with defendin...
I don't understand the hate. It's not easy to score, or contribute positive scoring chances coming off an injury. But, Adu did that(which is his job). Sounds like a good match to me.
Adu shines as Union move into first place in East with important road win at Seattle
For much of the first half of Saturday night's Seattle-Philadelphia match it looked as though the short-handed Sounders would still find a way to knock off the visiting Union at CenturyLink Field. Unfortunately for the reigning U.S. Open Cup champions, they squandered too many quality scorin...
Colombia is a great side, though. I don't see why people are up in arms. They brought it. Completely dominated the pace and flow of the game, and executed a great tactical game plan. Kudos. Argentina are lucky they pulled out with a draw.
Argentina's Copa struggles continue in draw vs. Colombia
Argentina has an envious cast of players that most national teams could only dream of having, but that collection of world-class talent once again failed to perform for the albiceleste. Argentina tied Colombia, 0-0, on Wednesday night, leaving the albiceleste with two points from two games. C...
