Last night FIFA held yet another ceremony and handed out a couple of trophies to confirm what most people around the world already knew… Lionel Messi is FIFA’s World Player Of The Year. After a stellar year filled with over sized silverware, accolades and praise the only thing eluding the young striker now is the [...]
As has been the case several times in their recent Asian Cup and World Cup Qualifying campaigns, the Socceroos once again left it late to pinch all three points.. only this time it was with 10 men and Oman fell victim. Press Association: The experience of the Australians helped them to win as they managed [...]
To tell you the truth I didn’t know much about Robert Enke, in fact, till today I knew nothing about him at all. However, after reading the many heartfelt articles circulating the regular football traps, I came to the realisation that Robert Enke was what true players are meant to be. Well spoken, humble, hard [...]
What amazes me about today’s game is that Pim Verbeek sent out a near full strength Aussie team… and they struggled… againt Oman… again! And whilst Verbeek continues to persist with his conservative approach to games and a one striker formation, he should be thanking his lucky starts that Timmy Cahill delivered the goods again [...]
I never thought I’d be typing the words USA lost another final so soon… but then again, I never thought I’d be waking up today to see pics of Mexicans dancing like Michael Jackson either! Judging by the highlights below, I think it’s fair to also add that the pubescents playing for Mexico are awesome [...]
What do you get when you cross the fortunes of an oligarch and the ego’s of some very arrogant football players?… Failure to beat a team from South Africa! Hahaha… so much for Premier League domination! Match highlights: Older Robinho news:Confed Cup – Mamma Mia, What A Mess! Italy 0 v 3 BrazilWeekend watch: Nike [...]
If late night media reports are to be believed, as I type this Samuel Eto’o is most likely being relieved of his post at the Camp Nou and being replaced by none other than that long haired half-bred douche… Zlatan ‘F**k Im Good’ Ibrahimovic! The only thing that remains is for the club to reach [...]
I can’t believe this guy is still kickin’ around. Don’t get me wrong, I know the poor sod is only 29ish, but he’s more injury prone than a grandmother on mechanical bull ride, so at best I expected him to be missing an appendage. I’m also surprised that he passed the United medical and was [...]
What do you get when you score two goals against Brazil in the final (of any sport) and then sit back on your laurels? If you guessed ‘an ass-whoopin from Sth Africa all the way to your homeland’… then ding, ding, ding, you my friend, have just won yourself the Confederations Cup!I didn’t expect the [...]
If the U.S MNT was anything like their rather fancied women’s national team, then I’d say Brazil would be up for a tough battle tonight… however seeing as the South Americans completely wiped the floor with the Northerners, only 10days ago, I don’t think they’ll have much trouble doing it again… even with the US’s [...]
Wow, that wasn’t meant to happen was it?I’ve been thinking about what to right all day and for once, I’m gob smacked!If you want details watch them below… I need a moment to reevaluate shit right now. Match highlights: Older USMNT news:Confed Cup – They Finished Second!? Egypt 0 v 3 USA
Having almost no hope in hell of qualifying for the next stage of the Confed Cup, the U.S.MiNT, went into last nights match as firm favourites… for another beating! This morning however, it was Egypt who awoke severely battered and bruised asking themselves what the f**k just happened? Shit, at 2-0 down they were still [...]
It almost brings a tear of joy to my eye when Italy find themselves on the receiving end of a gigantic ass-whoopin… so it’s even sweater when they’re humiliated while it happens. Just like the time before the break when Dossena turned the ball into his own net off a Robinho cross… you couldn’t script [...]
I’m really excited by the propsect of Australia hosting a World Cup. It’s one of those things you wonder about as a kid, never actually thinking that your country will be in the running to host one day. Well, I guess the time is now and it’s important everyone get’s behind this bid. Australia 2018-2022 [...]
C’mon, as if you didn’t know that Fernando Torres and co were going to shit this one in? I must admit though, the 17 minute hat-trick was a bit of a surprise… was there actually another team playing!? It was complete domination and the Spaniards were playing at some sort of divine pace… so I [...]
