July 11th, 2010 | By: Andy | Comments Comments(62)

webb22
We predicted it would be an intense occasion but never expected this! The joint highest number of bookings ever in a World Cup game, a red card, a disputed goal and probably the hardest game of Howard Webb’s life. Did the players destroy the game with their fouls or did Webb destroy ... [read more]

Bayern Munich Signs The Common Man

High up on the list of things no to do with football fans is to promise the unveiling of a big new signing and then fail to follow through. Worse is to promise a big signing and then come through with someone who won't even find the end of the ...

Jose Being Jose, In A Parking Lot

That's Jose after last night's Clasico, hanging out in the Camp Nou parking lot next to the referee's car. He's not waiting to tell him how much he enjoyed his performance or beg him for the maker of his cologne, I can tell you that much. Google Translate can do ...

Cristiano Throws A Clasico-Sized Fit

A Clasico which lived up to its name? But of course. And Cristiano was seen off the ball throwing what should now be one of his toddler tantrums? But of course. It's not one of his finest, in fact it'd have a hard time cracking his top five, but it's nice to ...

Mirandes: This Year's Cinderella

Despite the nonsense about some other matchup in the Copa del Rey right now - can't quite remember the names of those rather insignificant teams at the moment - the real story is not east, not west, but down. Way down in the third division. Mirandes, a humble little club ...

Overhead To The Head

Thee Balotelli stamp seems to be making its way round the internet quite soundly right now, but there was a far more vicious boot to the head in Europe this weekend which probably won't see any pop remixes anytime soon. Dorge Kouemaha of Kaiserslautern went to clear a ball out ...

Fly, Fly Away With Diego

When Al Wasl paid a hefty sum of money to Diego Maradona to lead their team, they did so not with the idea of getting the next great football coach, but with the idea that he'd be part coach, part entertainer, occasionally part circus clown. He rarely disappoints, if he ...

Spicing Up The Official Club Page

When you're a Brazilian club of the third division and you're starved for hits on your website, there are only two possible options: i. Hire a spammer. ii. Porn. Brasiliense has opted for choice number two, decking out their club website with adult-oriented imagery of females in various states of undress. And ...

Bumper Balls Footy

Since it's negative gazillion degrees in Norway 'round this time of year, they need to get creative with their football. And while going inside would be, and often is, the simpler explanation, it's a lot less fun than becoming human plastic bubbles. And judging by the way red cards are ...
