All-Whites Drawn Out Of World Cup Picture

Paston and Reid...bring on Brazil 2014

Paston and Reid...bring on Brazil 2014

Mark Paston had another stellar game (MY Man of the Match — perhaps we’ll see him in Serie A before long?), but there was no joy on the other end this time as undefeated New Zealand heads home with their heads held high. The foundations have been laid for future success with the addition a few more puzzle pieces in midfield. Great fun following these guys, they had total commitment and focus. Lack of respect may have been a factor in these games in varying ways, but they never stopped respecting themselves. Bravo.

A Lot of Draws May Lead To Draw of Lots

June 22nd, 2010 | By: ChrisS | Comments Comments(1)

After all the inspiring performances we have been treated to by the All-Whites in the last couple of games, the quite real possibility looms that their world Cup could end in the most deflating of ways. Lots.

Well, more history has been made, the All Whites got a draw with holders Italy, and there was more than a hint of disappointment that they didn’t take all three points.

Now For The Battle Of Masterminds

| By: ChrisS | Comments Comments(0)

The Italian media has been portraying Italy-New Zealand as a huge mismatch, some even suggesting that the Azzuri rest many of their starters for Slovakia and the assumed beyond. The pre-Confederations friendly barely won 4-3 is dismissed as a training exercise for the back-ups and youngsters.
However, the cagey Azurri manager knows otherwise, one can be sure. And the wiley New ... [read more]

For Love Or Football

"Footballer asked to give up honeymoon for new club." Admit it - first thoughts center around the wife and a reaction worthy of any reality shows in which a new bride or bride-to-be seem like a good candidate for a rubber room and a key which gets mysteriously lost for...ever. Tim Ream ...

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 ...

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 ...
