EuroVison: At Long Last
Comments(3)
It’s been 44 years, but Spain has finally broken the jinx, and perhaps shed the label “Choke Artists” as well.
La Furia Roja beat Germany 1-0 on the back of a single Fernando Torres goal. Congratulations, Spain!

Who Should be Euro 2008 Player of the Tournament?
Comments(15)
Looking back, Euro 2008 has been a bit special. Remember Cracking football, quality goals, big drama and a lot of good performances. But there hasn’t really been one player who’s risen above everyone else and dominated proceedings.
Not that that’s a bad thing. It just makes it very hard to choose a player ... [read more]
Awards of the Day: Euro 2008 Final, Spain v Germany
Comments(11)
Players of the Tournament: There are four of them:
Carles Puyol
Carlos Marchena
Sergio Ramos
Joan Capdevila
Knockout stages: 0 goals conceded
Iker gets some credit as well, but the most attack-gifted team in the tournament was riding the coattails of the Fearsome Foursome. Much like Italy in 2006, their defense was the difference between winning and second ... [read more]

Finances: El Clasico Always Wins
The yearly list of football club annual revenue is out yet again and the gap between the two Spanish behemoths and the rest of the field is growing ever wider. Despite the trophy success of last year, Barcelona has lost the financial Clasico to Real Madrid...yet again (lucky number seven ...

Kei Kamara Dons The Gorilla Suit
This takes down February's best footy related video award easily. Kei Kamara of the Kansas City Wizards dons the gorilla suit for a series of pranks during a set of real or staged interviews. It doesn't really matter - it's all awesome. It is also very likely Cyprion Hedrick wet his pants. ...

Samsunspor Team Bus Meets Train
What do you say to this? Holy @#$%. Incredibly, everyone from Samsunspor - Turkish Super Lig - survived and the team bus is the only thing which netted catastrophic damage. And as evident from the video, no signs/warnings appeared that, ya know, a train was steaming in. Someone's likely to see a change ...

Adriano Gets Quarantined For Fatness
Adriano is both one of the most gifted strikers of his generation and one of the most disappointing, ballooning to Ronaldo's late-career playing weight right smack in the middle of his prime, among other, non-gravitational-field-related issues (drinking, partying, shooting people, etc).

Kitties Taking Over The World
A pitch invasion took center stage during the first half at Anfield this evening, if only because no one else could. There's something in here about the cat being more productive than Andy Carroll, too. Also, it already has at least three Twitter accounts. Of course. (One of them.) Another cat, a ...

Balotelli Feels The Magic
Beyond anything which Mario may or may not be doing...what an odd sequence to catch during a game, isn't it? Fans get caught doing things quite often, but not players seated in cushy boxes. That said....Mario makes a coke can disappear. I think. Which is pretty nice. Though I imagine the ...

Bayern: The Good Guys (!)(?)
If you've paid any attention to the Bayern Munich news bits over the past years, you'll know that they've got some characters running the show. Thus their public persona isn't exactly seen as the cuddly teddy bear, smiled-at-least-once-in-their-lives types. So to hear that they gave Borussia Dortmund, a direct competitor, ...
