On the Eve of the new Season...

i agree, they should have moved on after south africa. and yet they stuck with capello and he kept picking the same old, slow players. the euros wouldnt be any different either, and fabio knew it. no one folds a winning hand for the honor of 31 year old scumbag like terry

@FourFourTom: Luis Suarez wasn't being pathetic - refusal to shake someone's hand is a compliment in Uruguay, plus his grandfather had hands.

[brennser]

absolutely shocking. No class whatsoever. and king kenny continues to defend him

sad to see a great club decline so much on and off the field

[godsshoeshine]

never been happier with an over celebration that didn't involve one of my teams

[brennser]

its definitely too little and too late but finally, finally common sense seems to be prevailing

Arsenal game was fun yesterday.. Van Persie was really pouring salt on the wounds at the end...


I got Gol TV and Fox Sports a few weeks ago and have been in soccer heaven since...


the Boca Juniors - Independiente game on Sunday was also, for Argentine league standards, great...even if Boca lost 5-4.

Gol TV shows every Boca league game live and Fox shows every Copa Libertadores game (with the Argentine announcers on the SAP channel)..


mainly I've been enjoying Barcelona though...

Everton FC fans singing "the baby's not yours" to Steven Gerrard after rumours his wife was playing away: http://t.co/OSriWbUj #thefriendlyderby

[godsshoeshine]

can't believe toon play day games on either side of easter. what a bummer

[hutch]

for a guy out of the game for six months I was surprised he still had his form.. notice the first goal it was set up by a corner earned by a nice Tevez pass into the box.. second one similar; a nice tevez pass... City looked woeful before he came on.
