Football / SCOTLAND HAS DONE IT AGAIN!

« on: September 18, 2007, 05:17:50 PM »

Cheltenham 1-2 Swansea 
Andy Robinson's thunderous 25-yard drive gave Swansea a comeback victory against Cheltenham at Whaddon Road.
Ashley Vincent's tidy finish put the home side ahead on four minutes, Andy Lindegaard almost doubling the lead before half time.

Jason Scotland brought Swansea level five minutes into the second with a composed finished.

Swansea's second-half dominance finally paid off when Robinson cut inside and fired a drive into the bottom corner.

The visitors continued to create chances in the final 20 minutes, but they needed a fine save from goalkeeper Dorus de Vries to deny former Swans striker Paul Connor.

Swansea's win came at a cost, though, as Robinson and Leon Britton picked up hamstring injuries.

Football / NO SEX BAN FOR BRAZIL

« on: March 30, 2006, 11:42:25 AM »

LONDON (AFP) - Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira wants his team to play with a smile on their faces at this year's World Cup -- so has ruled out imposing a sex ban.

While Parreira's predecessor Luis Felipe Scolari ran a famously strict regime during the 2002 finals, a more relaxed mood will prevail in Germany -- and that includes as much sex as his players want.

"I don't think that sex one day before the game will have any harm on the player. Just sex, no problem," Parreira told Maxim magazine.

"The problem is, they don't eat, they don't sleep, they smoke and they drink. That is the problem. Sex? No, sex is always very good -- always welcome."

Parreira also gave an insight into the methods his team uses to maintain spirit during tournaments.

Ronaldinho is a keen player of the samba drums -- and the world champions will be packing their instruments once again when they head to Germany.

"Psychologists say it is very important in the dressing room and coming from the hotel to the stadium that you do something with your hands, with your mouth," Parreira said.

 
"If you just sit there worrying? Clutching your hands? That does not help. If you play something it helps relax. That is why we give them the drums and things.

"Since 1970 we have done this. We buy instruments for them, and they play on the bus -- instead of saying, 'Oh my God, we are going to play Germany or England in a World Cup game.' That does not help."

Parreira also said there was no chance that Brazil would play more conservatively in Germany.

"We have to give a good impression and keep our style. We don't have to change that because we are going to play a World Cup."

"We have to defend, as well, otherwise we go nowhere. But we can't deny our roots -- we play a happy game."

Football / Maradona, Argentina's future coach

« on: November 04, 2005, 07:06:46 PM »

http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news;_ylt=AiuUlxx97R0_vcdpDgaSapEmw7YF?slug=reu-maradona&prov=reuters&type=lgns


Maradona could coach national team, says Argentina chief
 
BUENOS AIRES, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Diego Maradona will be given a role with Argentina's national team and could take over as coach following the 2006 World Cup, Argentina Football Association (AFA) president Julio Grondona said Friday.

"Diego has been incorporated into the national team staff," Grondona told Radio La Red in an interview, one day after meeting Maradona to discuss his future with the national team.

Grondona said it was too early to say exactly what sort of role Maradona would perform but he dismissed rumours that coach Jose Pekerman would resign if he was given a powerful role.

"There's not much to say in terms of what he will or will not do," said Grondona.

"He will do whatever is necessary.. After (the friendlies against) England and Qatar, we will clear up the uneasiness and anxiety of certain media to see what one will do and what the other will do," he added.

Grondona, who on Thursday reiterated his backing for Pekerman, said that during the meeting, the coach had told Maradona: "You are the national team."

Maradona also tried to allay fears of a clash on Thursday, when he said that he did not want to tread on anyone's toes.

Grondona said he saw a bright future for Maradona, who has made an outstanding recovery after undergoing drugs rehabilitation last year and a gastric bypass operation in March.

"If things go according to plan, Maradona has a future with the national team and I don't think there's anyone who deserves it more," he said.

Asked whether Maradona could coach the side after the World Cup, Grondona replied: "If he carries on like this, then why not?"

"We will do our best for him so that, one day, he will be in charge of all this," he said.

General Discussion / What would be your choice?

« on: September 06, 2005, 07:37:30 AM »

This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By
giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand
morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional
situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that
your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll
down slowly and give due consideration to each line.
You are in Trinidad, Chaguanas to be specific. There is chaos all
around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a
flood of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working
for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this
epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless.
You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and
people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water.
Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury. Suddenly you see
two men floundering in the water. They are fighting for their
lives, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move
closer somehow the men look familiar. You suddenly realize who
they are. Patrick Manning and Basdeo Panday!
At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to
take them under .. forever. You have two options--you can save the
lives of Patrick Manning and Basdeo Panday or you can shoot a
dramatic award winning photo that will be sure to forever change
your career, documenting the death of the country's most powerful
men.

 
So here's the question, and please give an honest answer. Would
you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the
classic simplicity of black and white?

Football / CORNELL GLEN.........

Crew ruin Chivas USA's homecoming
By Danny Bueno / MLSnet.com Staff 


Cornell Glen scored what proved to be the game-winning goal Saturday night. (Tony Quinn/MLS/WireImage.com)
CARSON, Calif. -- The last-place Columbus Crew kept their playoff hopes alive with a 3-0 win over Chivas USA at The Home Depot Center on Saturday.
Cornell Glen scored midway through the first half and set up John Wolyniec on one of his two goals in a 10-minute span in the second half to help the Crew cruise past Chivas in the first-ever meeting between the clubs.

With the win, the Crew (9-12-3) move within 9 points of the Chicago Fire for the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Crew, who have been revitalized in the second half of the season, are now 6-3-1 under interim coach Robert Warzycha and have won three in a row, all shutouts.

The match got off to a slow start as both sides struggled to develop any meaningful plays.

The Crew tested new Chivas goalkeeper Sergio Garcia for the first time in the 15th minute; a low, 25-yard shot by Glen that went directly to the 'keeper, starting in net in place of Brad Guzan.

In the 19th minute, Glen again tried Garcia, this time nearly hitting paydirt. Simon Elliott sent a crossing ball from the right side to Glen. The Trinidad international then sent a crushing header to the near post and Garcia just got a hand on the ball, knocking it out of play for a corner kick.

On the ensuing corner, Glen again got a head on the ball in the center of the area, but his shot went well over the crossbar.

Chris Henderson nearly caught the Chivas 'keeper off guard in the 30th minute. Danny Szetela controlled the ball 30 yards from goal and gave a quick pass to Henderson, standing to his right. Henderson's low, one-time shot, though, was knocked away by a diving Garcia.

In the 34th minute, Glen finally broke through, capitalizing on a grave mistake by Chivas USA in their own third of the field.

A poor ball sent towards Chivas defender Ezra Hendrickson instead landed directly at Glen's feet. He alluded Hendrickson, raced 20 yards to the top of the box and shot through the legs of oncoming 'keeper Garcia and into the right netting for his fourth goal of the season.

The goal roused Chivas' mostly dormant attack as crew goalkeeper Jonny Walker was forced to make one close-range save in the 37th minute and moments later saw a Francisco Palencia shot roll just wide of net.

Coming out of the halftime break, the Crew's defense buckled down and did a good job of absorbing the Chivas attack.

Chad Marshall was effective in shutting down Chivas' speeder winger Antonio Martinez on the right side, using his size and deceptive speed to frustrate Martinez.

Robin Fraser was solid manning the center of the defense, constantly putting a body on Palencia and rendering the Mexican national largely ineffective.

The Crew took a 2-0 lead on the hour mark. This time Glen was on the giving end, sending a low pass to the center of the area to an unmarked Wolyniec, who quickly hit a low shot past Garcia. The Chivas 'keeper dove but was unable to get a hand on the ball.

In the 69th minute, Wolyniec struck again. Glen again was the catalyst as his shot just inside of the area was kick-saved by Garcia, who was playing well off his line. The ball deflected to Wolyniec and he blasted it into the goal for his second goal of the match and fifth of the season.

The Crew kept Chivas' defense on its heels for the remainder of the match, forcing Garcia to make several saves in the final 10 minutes.
