Bendtner Sparks Arsenal, Bayern Advance in Thriller

Down a goal and missing captain Cesc Fabregas and its best defender William Gallas heading into the second leg of their Champions League match with Porto, the European obituary was already being written for Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal club.

Some 90 minutes later, many Gunners fans are now wondering if the club might end up winning a pair of trophies this season.

Behind a Niclas Bendtner hat trick Arsenal thumped Porto 5-0 at the Emirates Stadium, winning the two-legged match 6-2 on aggregate.

Meanwhile in Tuscany, Bayern Munich and Fiorentina played out to a riveting second half, with the home side lodging a 3-2 result leaving it even on aggregate at 4-4 after 180 minutes of back-and-forth soccer. The Germans advanced to the quarterfinals thanks to the away goals rule.

Landon Donovan Stars in Possible Goodison Park Finale

Mon, Mar 8, 2010

Filed under: , , ,

Landon Donovan entered Everton’s game against Hull City Sunday at Goodison Park in the 69th minute to chants of, “U-S-A, U-S-A.”

Less than 13 minutes later the crowd was once again signing, this time “Sign him up. Sign him up.”

Chances are, barring a work stoppage before the start of the MLS season, Sunday was Donovan’s swan song at Goodison Park — at least for the time being. Donovan made sure his good bye — he apparently took a farewell lap afterward — was a memorable one, scoring once and assisting on Jack Rodwell’s late goal which gave Everton a rousing 5-1 victory.

MLS, Players to Talk; L.A., Everton Won’t

Sat, Mar 6, 2010

Filed under: , ,

Landon DonovanWhile Major League Soccer and the players’ union have promised to continue negotiating, the Los Angeles Galaxy said Friday that they’re not interested in entertaining Everton’s request to extend Landon Donovan’s loan. Both developments are good signs for those hoping MLS kicks off as scheduled later this month.

On the collective bargaining front, the league and players are heading to federal mediation. It sounds serious, but at least they continue to agree that disagreeing is preferable to canceling games. MLS has said all along that it has no interest in a lockout, but the players have been unwilling to make a similar pledge.

But preseason preparations continue nevertheless, and the league announced Friday afternoon that the two sides will head back to the negotiating table next week in Washington to try and hammer out an agreement. The season starts March 25.

George Cohen, named as the director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, will take part in the discussions. Even the government wants to see soccer this spring.

Coincidentally or not, within an hour of the labor announcement on Friday afternoon, Galaxy general manager and coach Bruce Arena told the league’s web site that the club is “not interested” in extending Donovan’s stay in Liverpool.

Nigel De Jong Tackle Costs Stuart Holden Six Weeks

Thu, Mar 4, 2010

Filed under: , , ,

Walking out of the Amsterdam ArenA Wednesday the U.S. National Team probably didn’t feel too good about itself after falling 2-1 to the Netherlands.

Yet that loss could be justified and chalked up to playing the No. 3 team in the world, which by the way didn’t lose a game in UEFA qualification for the upcoming World Cup.

That tact took a turn for the worse Thursday when news came out that midfielder Stuart Holden will be out at least six weeks due to a broken leg from a nasty tackle from Nigel de Jong in the first half.

Chastain Not Ready to Give Up Playing Soccer

Tue, Mar 2, 2010

Brandi ChastainThe world’s most famous sports bra isn’t ready to retire just yet.

Brandi Chastain, whose spontaneous, shirtless, on-field celebration of a World Cup victory over China in 1999 brought unprecedented attention to her sport, was released recently by FC Gold Pride of the Women’s Professional Soccer League, leaving her without a team for the first time in her life.

“I was devastated when they told me. I’m mad now,” she told FanHouse Saturday. “They want to give the younger players the chance. I can understand the thinking, but I don’t like it. I’m still good enough to be out there, absolutely.”

Chastain, now 41, has been a women’s soccer pioneer, spending 12 years on the United States National Team, playing in three Olympic Games and three World Cup tournaments as one of America’s best athletes.

She was a founding member of both the now defunct Women’s United Soccer League and then the eight-team, WPSL that began last year when she played for FC Gold, which is based in Santa Clara, California. She lives there now with a daughter and husband, the soccer coach at Santa Clara University. She works as a volunteer assistant.

FC Gold opens training camp Monday for its spring season, but she was not invited, which could mean the end of her playing career.

I think he will. Regardless of his form or what team he’s playing for. I think the fact how has so many endorsements and is a worldwide iconic figure is a big factor. I think these companies he is sponsered by will offer the english FA a nice sum. The contracts may say
”4,000,000 if beckham plays x amount games or something”
Do you think these kind of contracts can exist in sports?

New U.S. World Cup Uniforms Fall Wide of the Mark

Sat, Feb 27, 2010

0 Comments

The U.S. national team’s search for an iconic look it can call its own will fall flat again in this summer’s World Cup.

The new uniforms unveiled/leaked by Nike this week invoke some traditions while abandoning others, and the result is a mediocre, frustratingly incomplete kit that could be so much better.
