UEFA Champions League play-offs start today. Two teams that should get out of group play are featured: Tottenham, Zenit. Auxerre captain Benoit Pedretti, ahead of the Ligue 1 side’s Champions League playoff against Zenit St. Petersburg, says his side was not designed to play Champions League football. Perhaps if they were goin up against [...] Greece international Angelos Charisteas is moving from Nurnberg to Ligue 1’s Arles-Avignon. No fee was disclosed. The forward had failed to make an impact of late in Germany, though his style of play could provide an interesting option in Ligue 1. Odds are this move less consequential, more oddity. Charisteas’s travels will always be of note [...] The Guardian has the following quote from Stoke City manager Tony Pulis: “The news is as good as we could have expected in the circumstances. We were obviously very concerned about the extent of the damage. But the tests have shown only minor ligament damage. We will assess Kenwyne’s progress over the next few days so [...] While looking up information on Zenit St. Petersburg, this came up in one of my feeds. FIFA has a piece this morning highlighting some new faces that a.) played roles in last weeks friendlies, and/or b.) look to play roles as competitive matches (i.e., Euro 2012 qualifying) loom. Soom of the players featured: Neymar, Brazil, part of [...] Thomas Müller seems like the exact type of player to stay in Germany his whole career and I can’t put my finger on why. I honestly think it’s the way he walks – his posture. Perhaps it’s his eye color, hair style, complexion – I don’t know. He just seems so very [...] As most of you have heard by now, Omar Gonzalez has been called-in to the U.S. men’s national team for next Tuesday’s match against Brazil. In all likelihood, the Dallas native will get his first of what should be many senior-level caps. I know Omar has only one year of Major League Soccer experience, but [...] In what will surely be the last we ever hear of this story, Cesc Fábregas as decided to stay at Arsenal for the immediate future, thus bringing an end to a summer’s worth of speculation that he would move back to Barcelona. After meeting with coach Arsène Wegner today, it was resolved the former Barça [...] Zenit St. Petersburg’s finalized the acquisition of Bruno Alves, paying Porto €22 million for the defender. Unbeaten through 15 rounds of the Premier Liga in Russia, Zenit is positioning itself to be a factor in this year’s Champions League, potentially better than the Andrei Arshavin-led team which, two years ago, finished third in their group [...] I don’t have strong feelings about the new squad rules in England, though every time I think about it I fail to see why clubs or players would support the change. As an observer, the rules make things more interesting, but I agree with those who think the natural reaction to this rule will be [...] When I saw this headline hit my RSS feeds early this morning, I did my typical (and overused) eye-roll and asking why something that doesn’t change the status quo get treated as news. Then I noted the source: www.premierleague.com. If the league itself is telling us that Torres is going to stay at Liverpool, there was [...] |
