Comments(1)Surprise! Yeah I know you probably stopped by on this update-forsaken outpost more out of habit than genuine expectation of finding anything new, but hey, guess what, you’ve got some reading to do! And with loads of stuff happening throughout this month and not nearly enough space to fit everything into a single post, I’ve decided to break into a few pieces. We start with:
More Croatia News
Belgium Friendly Review
Comments(4)I’ll keep this rather short though. God that was awful. The end. (more…)

Marching On
Comments(2)That’s much better. After months of mixing, pondering and experimenting, Harry Redknapp found the right ingredients for his winning Tottenham formula. OK, so they’ve won a few times before and are sitting in that oh-so-valuable 4th spot, but this win, this is something we should all be delighted with. (more…)

February Weekend Report
Comments(3)It’s been a while, but weekend reports coupled with some (attempt at) bad taste humor are due to come your way in a much more reliable fashion. But this time, let’s get right down to business. (more…)

Looking Good From Our Perspective
Comments(5)Not to show disrespect to anyone (actually I’m pretty sure the feeling of being happy with the draw is mutual with all the group participants), but we’ve just been handed one helluva favorable draw. (more…)

Late Weekend Report
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. And being the cheapskate I am, instead of writing it down now I’ll simply pretend that last week never happened. Ha! But anyway, now that I’ve demonstrated my time altering powers, it’s time to write down ... [read more]

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Must Look Like He Needs a Hug
If we were to list the most huggable players in world football, I doubt Zlatan Ibrahimovic would figure highly. The big talented Swede seems much more aloof than he approachable. Also, have you ever tried hugging someone who's 6'5"? A fan at last night's Valarenga vs Barcelona pre-season friendly was ...

2050: Still The Year Of Ozil
Whether or not Nike was planning to continue their Özil series past the World Cup, they may not have a choice now. Arguably one of the hottest commodities to burst onto the global scene in South Africa, his stock is enormously high and as such, there's money to be made. There ...

Daily Dose: July 29th, 2010.
The footage from that Chinese fan kung-fu kick has arrived. Sort of the Holy Trinity of football fouls: horrible dive, horrible tackle, excellent fan interference. A look back at the German u19 team of 2007 (featuring that Ozil cat). (uefa) Marlon King now a free...agent. (Guardian) Contest for disturbing headline photo over. (Fisted ...

Mixed Start for MLS Teams in CONCACAF Champions League
Forget the MLS All-Star game vs Man Utd. If you really want to judge MLS teams against international opposition, the best place to do so is the CONCACAF Champions League. If you have no idea what the acronymtastic competition is, imagine the UEFA Champions League, but instead of Barcelona and ...

Man City and The Second Coming, Part II
Following the borderline blasphemous news this morning that Man City signed Jesus Christ himself, The Offside can exclusively reveal that He's already been there. At least on television. The above clip is from the 2003 ITV mini-series The Second Coming, starring Christopher Ecclestone as Jesus Christ. Here's the setting: The Messiah ...

Man City Snap Up A Messiah
No, not Messi. They could hardly be bothered with such mere mortals when in fact they've gone one better and snapped up the actual Messiah, one Jesus H. Christ. At least this is what TalkSport tells us. But they also tell us it's a mere precursor to their inevitable capture of ...

10 Things We Learned from the 2010 MLS All-Star Game
The MLS All-Stars lost 5-2 to Manchester United in Houston last night. The All-Star game isn't a very accurate measuring tool. So don't worry MLS fans, this doesn't mean your league is rubbish. But also Man Utd fans shouldn't get too carried away, as the margin of victory reflected the ...
