Hello readers. Due to extreme need of holiday and rest, I’ll be taking a break until beginning of January. May your 2008 be full of excellent football. Cheers!

When I was around 12, I used to go to football practice and then straight to ballet classes. A lot of people buzzed my ears by saying that football had nothing to do with ballet and that I should pick one. I will have to disagree. All my gracious movements (!) aquired in ballet classes [...]

Right, he does look like Capello but is a but slimmer. Capello’s “twin” is an Irish guy who, unlike the real Capello, does speak english very well. Michael McElinney is a 45 year old construction worker and is even making some money out of the gig (around £350 per appearance). Well, while real Capello’s good [...]

I still remember the times when Brazilian forward Adriano was a machine. The guy could shoot a power shot from almost any angle.

Kaká is the footballer of the year in all respects. So is Marta. The Brazilian took all prizes available and it was no big news that he was up for winning FIFA’s best player of the year award. And he did. The AC Milan star, just one day after winning FIFA’s club world title took [...]

I had to put this in here. Just great! By Daryl, from The Offside.
Fabio Capello’s appointment as the next England boss looks imminent. He seems to be the complete package: trophy cabinet fit to burst, willingness to crush superstars underfoot, tactical sophistication and an apparent ability to remain unfazed by the English media (so far [...]

It’s official. Capello is jumping in as the new England manager. The Italian is reportedly getting £6m a year (for 4 years), and not £4m as I said before. He will also have an opt out after 2010. Prety good deal, shall I say. He is also bringing with him his 4 faithful men: [...]
