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]

Claudia Letizia Welcomes Rafa To Napoli

And she is very, very hospitable. Or welcoming. A quick Google will reveal...well it will reveal a lot. Such as Claudia is a very big fan of duck face, wet t-shirts, and more duck face. She's not a fan of clothing. This means she's like nearly every other Italian showgirl ...

The Problems Plaguing Brazil

If you've been paying attention to the pandemonium in Brazil, you might notice this football-mad country is pretty damn mad about some football, namely the World Cup (the Rio Olympics aren't helping either). Basically, just like everyone else who throws a big party, they're not happy with the costs and ...

Fun With Romanian Riot Police

Football is - sport in general, really - a great place for some creative hyperbole. "He shot it to the moon!" Well no, not really. "The defender has him in his back pocket." Diego Buonanotte or Maximiliano Moralez perhaps, but no one else. Today, we have a new one: "Boy, ...

Lecce Fans Really Wanted Promotion, Let Everyone Know

Given Lecce has spent recent times bouncing between Serie A and Serie B, the dungeons of Italian football, where they were placed for doing all sorts of scandalous Italian things, aren't quite acceptable.

The Guardian has gone and shaken some salt into several open wounds by unveiling the twenty worst sitter misses of 2012-13.

Aruban Goalkeepers Gone Wild

Ketchup and mustard kits aside (no corner taken on color richness), this little clip from Aruba has so much going for it. From the mere fact it's a goalkeeper goal, to the Marco Tardelli-esque celebration of unadultered joy and childlike innocent, to the complete meltdown at the end by the ...

Brendan Rodgers Provides Interview Of The Year

Watching sports interviews, no matter the sport, is like watching a cheating husband attempt to deflect questions. The actual question is answered roughly three percent of the time. Brendan Rodgers somehow manages to do the same when it's a 9 year old firing the hard-hitters his way. Almost as though ...
