MrAsterisk Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Boy, did this thread die.And Kasey Keller was bought by Fulham. That makes three Americans and an Algerian, so they may have a new supporter.Actually, they have four Americans if you count the injured Brian McBride (along with Bocanegra, Dempsey, and Keller).Duly edited. Bocanegra slipped my mind for that moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred T. Jane Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 Rangers, Lazio, and Liverpool are all through to the Group Stage after winning their draws this evening (0-0, 1-3, and 4-0, respectively).The Sevilla-AEK Athens match was postponed because of the tragic death of Midfielder Antonio Puerta, who collapsed on the field Sunday after having a heart attack. In addition, the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday between Sevilla and AC Milan will probably be postponed.

Classy being that they'll just nick your wallet and avoid the whole pipe-to-the-head unpleasantry.Of course, and most Toffee supporters I know don't look at hubcaps lustingly. The great thing about the Merseyside rivalry is that there is honestly little difference between the supporters, at least traditionally. Nothing divides the fans really... geography, economics, religion, family lines etc. Except now the Everton fans have just turned bitter (oh so bitter) over the last 2 decades as a genuine gap appeared between the clubs as they both lost ground to Man Utd and the bigger London clubs.

MrAsterisk Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I normally don't care about the Women's World Cup (Go ahead and call me Sepp Blatter.), but Germany beat Argentina 11-0 in the tournament's opening game today. Birgit Prinz and Sandra Smisek each scored hat tricks for Germany, and Argentinian Vanina Correa achieved a rare own-goal-brace, scoring the first and last goals of the game at the wrong end.

Moser316 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Let's let this be the centre of discussion for all European leagues, though I guess the bulk of discussion will be with the Barclay's Premier League, as well as Leeds United's quest to stave off relegation to Ian Hogsnort's Pub League, where matches are held in the yard behind Ian's pub, aptly named "The Hog's Trough."Well, it looks like Leeds United has already recouped the 15 points they were docked, and with last Friday's 3-0 win over Bristol Rovers, they actually have points to their name on the season. If not for the ownership situation, these guys would be at the top of the League One table... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been an absolute dream start to the season, Beckford & Kandol are the class strike partnership in League 1, and Dennis Wise has been outstanding as gaffer.As far as competition, Leyton Orient seems to be on a roll of their own. Let's see if they have the depth to keep up the charge. Nottingham Forest, I truly expected better from them up to this point - they're playing below their talent level (something i'm accustomed to seeing over the past few seasons as a Leeds fan).

MrAsterisk Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Yes baby! Marseille won, for once, so I was very pleased this afternoon. Wasn't able to watch the match, but I can't wait to see the highlights.Tomorrow sounds very exciting, with Arsenal - Sevilla and Barcelona - Lyon (good luck Break-Wood) headlining the evening. Lyon are coming of a 5-1 thrashing of Metz in which Karim Benzema (Algerian! But plays for France.) scored a hat trick in the first half, followed up by Hatem Ben Arfa (Tunisian!), and the free-kick master Juninho Pernambucano.

Viper Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Anyone catch the North London Derby (Tottenham-Arsenal) this past weekend? The Spurs were up most of the match, then some idiot Spurs fan decided to charge onto the pitch just as Cesc Fabregas badly missed a free kick. After security hustled the fan away, the ref gave Fabregas a do-over, and this time he nailed it straight to Emmanuel Adebayor right in front of the net, and Adebayor put it in like shooting fish in a bucket. 15 minutes later Fabregas put one in himself, and it was all over except for, well, one more Gunners goal near the tail end of stoppage time.Now Arsenal is off to an undefeated Premiership start and will probably stay that way this weekend at home against lowly Derby. Meanwhile I see they just crushed Sevilla of Spain in the Champions' League preliminaries. No Henry, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
