Venezuela v Bolivia: Good Thing That Didn't Count
By chris | March 28th, 2008There were a few international stragglers who didn't get the memo that all the games were actually Wednesday, not Thursday. Bolivia and Venezuela: guilty. Game's going fine, nil - nil, and both keepers had made some fantastic saves which sure ...
Inter Info: 3/27/08
By robert | March 27th, 2008What's up my dawgs? The Azzurri lost yesterday, 1-0 to the Spaniards. That was definitely not a successful way to stop my "itch" for calcio. They played "ehh". Not bad, but not good. There were a few points in the match that were terrific, but then t ...

Chivas USA defeat DCU
By Alex | February 19th, 2008Chivas USA defeat DC United in a scrimmage 1-0. The game was good. I missed the first half due to a time change. The half ended without a goal. Marsch took a mean tackle from Emilio and didn't take it well. He didn't attempt to kick him like he did
Brazil 1 x 0 Ireland: Not Bad
By Bruno Romani | February 7th, 2008It wasn’t a great game. But it wasn’t bad either. Nowadays, breath taking performances are reserved only to when the other team is Argentina and the match is a final one. In times of “there’s no innocent in the sport,” Brazil put out a goo
Derbs is a goal machine!
By Dan Clough | August 22nd, 2007Matt Derbyshire was once again in the hunt for England under 21's last night. Think we have a future England star there, he's always in the right place at the right time! (The goal is the second clip)

By Chris | July 27th, 2007Caen plays their last friendly of the summer this Saturday against the UNFP. No, they are not playing the National Union of Popular Forces, a former Moroccan political group. (By the way, the Moroccan Coat of Arms would be a sweet badge for a low-l
Giant Killers: SM Caen upsets Stade Rennais!
By Chris | July 26th, 20073-1. Holy crap. I know this is still the preseason, but we actually beat someone. A goal for Jemaa right after halftime (48') and scoring one minute and ten minutes after Rennes evened the score up in the 76'. Sebastien Mazure cleaned up for L

Brazil 0 x 0 Turkey: wake me up...
By Bruno Romani | June 5th, 2007Before anything else, it’s clear: Brazil should not be allowed to play friendly matches anymore. They’re lazy, lame, mechanical and dragging. They lack commitment, creativity and passion. They’re a product to be offered to foreign eyes without the b
Brazil 1 x 1 England: Another boring game in the Dunga saga.
By Bruno Romani | June 1st, 2007Another friendly game, ground for boredom, laziness and business. Teams mirror their coaches and this Brazilian team is exactly what Dunga used to be. It controlled the midfield but had no creativity.Opportunities appeared only in the second-half, b

Hands up, Who Wants to be Giampaolo Pazzini?
By Martha | March 24th, 2007Let's see: Fastest goal (28 or 29 seconds, depending on who you ask) in the history of Wembley Stadium, first goal in the new Wembley, first hattrick in the new Wembley. Yeah, I think you could say Gianpaolo Pazzini had a pretty good day at work. The F
Italy v Turkey. Yay.
By Martha | November 16th, 2006Thanks to the intrusion of real life, I haven't yet watched last night's game. It's sitting in the Tivo (-like device) waiting for me to have some free time, but I'm not entirely convinced it's worth watching. Thoughts? I tried to get the player ratings f
