Posted on 30 Sep, 2012, by Vic in SoccerA lot of great goals need terrible keepers, but Mustapha Durak scoring a volley from nearly the halfway line in Niort’s 4-2 win over Dijon in a French Ligue 2 match was a brilliant goal, regardless of the keeper’s position in the goal. More
FC Barcelona – Cesc Fabregas Covers for Lionel Messi
Posted on 30 Sep, 2012, by Riven in SoccerIn truth, if it wasn’t for the referee, Barcelona wouldn’t have won at Sevilla. Cesc Fabregas would have never scored two goals, David Villa couldn’t have scored the winning goal and most of the focus would have gone to Lionel Messi having his worse game of the season, left goalless for the second consecutive time.

Manchester United – Alex Ferguson Shifts Focus From Problems
Posted on 30 Sep, 2012, by Peter in SoccerInstead of talking about how bad Manchester United were in the first half, Ferguson just praised his lads for their second half in a 2-3 losing effort against Tottenham. Rather than focusing on the problems his team had encountering speed against a super Spurs counter attack, he talked about how Paul Scholes did a masterful job in the second half. More

Arsenal FC – Blaming it all on Laurent Koscielny
Posted on 30 Sep, 2012, by Peter in SoccerInstead of trying to find positives from their game (not much), Arsene Wenger stabbed the problem right at the heart. Soft, sub-par defending. He didn’t mention any names, but it was obvious who he was referring to – Laurent Koscielny. More

Posted on 30 Sep, 2012, by Peter in SoccerThere were many things to be happy about for Chelsea after their 2-1 win, as slight underdogs, at the Emirates against Arsenal, but having Fernando Torres finally back on the score-sheet in another so-so performance from him and his team was the best news they could have asked for.

Posted on 30 Sep, 2012, by Vic in SoccerCzech centre back Martin Jiranek hasn’t played for the national team in quite some time, and at 33 his best is way behind him, but his absolute missile of a goal on Saturday against Kuban Krasnodar, which didn’t help him and Terek Grozny avoid a 2-1 loss, is probably the best we’ve seen this season so far.

Tottenham Beat Manchester United at Old Trafford For the First Time Since 1989
Posted on 29 Sep, 2012, by Peter in SoccerWhen you talk about statement wins, this is it. Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie came very close to scoring during 30 minutes of huge pressure on Brad Friedel’s goal, but in the end, Tottenham’s brilliant counter attacking and goals from Gareth Bale, Jan Vertonghen and Clint Dempsey were too much for Manchester United, beating the red devils at home 2-3.
