6 more qualify: 2010 World Cup in South Africa is complete.

No more. Done. Finito. Acabou. The fight for the 32 golden spots to play the most exciting football (and sports) tournament on the planet has ended. Some big ones almost did not manage. And some return after 24 years.
Today was the day for the last 6 squads to qualify. The brave (or lucky?) one were: [...]

Photo: France’s new kit

Today Raymond Domenech presented France’s new kit to be used at the World Cup in 2010. Not my favorite one to be honest. What do you think?

World Cup Qualifiers: Portugal still alive. Argentina qualifies.

Argentina is playing in South Africa. Maradona can breathe. The hermanos beat Uruguay 1 – 0 with a goal on the 84th minute by Bolatti. This ends Argentina’s war to qualify, as they take the 4th and last spot for a South American country. Uruguay will now go to play-offs (against Honduras or El Salvador), [...]

Today’s Shorties: Hiddink, Maradona, La Furia and more.

A lot of good stuff happened today.
Guus Hiddink was announced as Chelsea’s manager. Well done Blues, the fella is a jolly good manager. And yes, almost forgot: he is still Russia’s manager, as well.
Argentina won the friendly against France, 2×0. Maradona keeps the victory coming, he has not yet lost a single match while [...]

WC Qualifiers Europe – Katsoyranis and Gourcuff scored amazing goals.

I guess Raymond Domenech is keeping his job a little longer. France tied 2×2 with Romania thanks to Ribery and the young Gourcuff. Greece got the job well done with a glorious goal from Katsoyranis (Roberto Carlos style). Here are the goals:
Katsoyranis

Gourcuff

10 years since the first (and only) French title. You probably did not know about what happened that day.

Today celebrates 10 years of the first French World Cup title. On a match against Brazil, Zidane and co. smashed Selecao 3 – 0. But what happened to Brazil that day that made the entire squad dull? Ronaldo (then Ronaldinho) got really sick right before the match, a convulsion to be exact. And as much [...]

Trezeguet ends International career. Blame it on Domenech. Seriously.

It is an unfortunate day. One of the greatest French players, David Trezeguet, has decided to retire from International football. The early notice comes due to a guy who still managed to stay France’s manager even after a horrible EURO 2008 campaign. I just cannot believe how such and amazing player like Trezeguet got cut [...]

The French could not do it on the pitch. Or off of it.

A little trouble parking the Les Bleus bus????

EURO 2008 Results – June 17th. Bye bye Romania and France.

Another bye-bye-time-to-go-home day at EURO 2008. Only the Netherlands was 100% qualified to the quarter finals. Romania needed at least a tie or victory to get into the next phase. Italy and France, repeating 2006 World Cup’s final, needed a victory and Romania to lose in order to qualify. And to make me a little [...]

Super cool !

Capello on England’s football, Beckham and the match against France.
