Late Weekend Report

January 20th, 2010 | By: Mario | Comments Comments(2)

Due to some extraordinary circumstances (not involving spaceships and abductions;or at least I think not), I’ve managed to skip writing on last weekend’s action.

December 28th, 2009 | By: Mario | Comments Comments(1)

Seeing as it’s only the crazy English people that like to spend their holidays on football grounds, there’s not much reviewing to do for this weekend. I’ll start with our North London woes. (more…)

High Five for a Fresh Start

November 15th, 2009 | By: Mario | Comments Comments(0)

Despite nicking a few decent results in recent times (a draw with Portugal comes to mind), football’s minnows Lichtenstein proved to be nothing more than than a shy sparring partner to a mixed lineup of “Vatreni” that Bilic had come out with. Croatia came up with a convincing 5:0 victory, putting one past the visiting goalie as early as in ... [read more]

Robinho's Second Santos Debut, and Neymar's Paradinha Penalty

Robinho didn't disappoint on his second Santos debut, coming off the bench to score a Zola-esque near post flick of a winner vs São Paulo. Whatever you might think of the man who rides the Pelécopter, it's good to see such an entertaining footballer looking happy again. But don't worry, there's ...

As I'm sure most of our American readers will know, today is Super Bowl XLIV (or Super Bowl 44, if you don't speak Roman numeral). Super Bowl Sunday is an easy excuse for us soccer fans to indulge ourselves by bashing the "other" football, reminding fans of said sport that ...

The Premier League takes an all-too-familiar turn
