Football / U.S. Falls to England 2-1 in Soldier Field Friendly
« on: May 28, 2005, 08:51:57 PM »
CHICAGO (May 28, 2005) – The U.S. fell behind by two goals after 45 minutes before battling back with a dominating second half, but could only find the back of the net once as they fell to England 2-1 on Saturday afternoon in front of 47,637 fans on a beautiful day at Soldier Field in Chicago. U.S. midfielder Clint Dempsey, who battled through a physical English team all day, scored the only goal for the United States, his first with the full national team.
Midfielder Kieran Richardson was the hero for England as he tallied both goals, striking early on a free kick in the fourth minute and then striking again just before halftime in the 44th minute. The second half was a different story, though, as the U.S. was able to control the majority of the play, eventually out-shooting England 14-8 (including 9-3 in the second half), while scoring their only goal off a free kick in the 79th minute.
"I thought it was a good game,” said U.S. manager Bruce Arena, who saw the U.S. lose a home game for the first time in a span of 14 games dating back to 2003. “I was pleased with our team's effort in the second half. Not that it was a bad effort in the first half, but I think the English team did an outstanding job for 45 minutes in the first half with their concentration and their ability to hang in on every play and make a difference. Their two goals they scored were opportunistic and intelligent plays. I told our guys at the end of the game that players like Alan Smith and Joe Cole, you appreciate them a lot more when you are on the field with them and see the plays they pull off for their team."
On the U.S. goal, midfielder Landon Donovan curled in a free kick from the left sideline where Carlos Bocanegra was able to slide in and get a foot to it, but goalkeeper David James made a reactionary save from four yards. The rebound, however, popped in the air toward Dempsey at the right post where he headed home for his first international strike.
“It was a great experience," said Dempsey following the game. "They have a lot of players in the EPL and it was a good game for some of our players to gauge where we were. We came out a little tentative, but we had a lot of spurts of good play. We played well at times and put them on their heels a little bit in the second half trying to get the equalizer. It was a fun game for us, but it was just a game to sharpen us up for the qualifiers and that’s the most important thing right now – qualifying for the World Cup.”
On the first English goal, a foul by Eddie Pope on Andy Johnson set up a dangerous English free kick from 20 yards in the fourth minute of play. Earning his first cap for England, Richardson stepped up to take the shot and whistled it into the upper right corner, past the outstretched hands of U.S goalkeeper Kasey Keller.
The U.S. had two excellent chances to tie the match following England’s opening goal, both courtesy of Donovan. In the 20th minute, a Wes Brown foul on Josh Wolff set up Donovan for a wicked free kick from the left flank that beat ‘keeper David James and slammed off the right post from 23 yards. Donovan’s second attempt came in the 37th minute, with Josh Wolff perfectly heading a nice ball from Steve Ralston into his path in the penalty area, where the L.A. Galaxy forward hit a shot screaming along the grass and just wide of the right post.
Following those near misses, it was Richardson’s turn again in the 44th minute, as he nicely tucked a shot past Keller and into the lower left corner of the goal after a crafty square pass from Joe Cole found him running open into the left side of the area. As he did when he was fouled on the first goal, it was Andy Johnson’s pass that started the attack into Cole.
The U.S. started off the second half strong, getting into the attacking end early in the half. U.S. defender Steve Cherundolo took the ball up the right side as the half began, crossing a ball into Dempsey, who went up for a header but was beaten to it by the English defense. The ball hopped back out on the play, where Greg Vanney ran on to it and unleashed a shot that went just wide of the goal on the left side.
In the 72nd minute, the U.S. earned a free kick at the top of the English penalty area after Wolff had been taken down. His ensuing free kick hit the wall and ricocheted back to Wolff, whose second-chance shot sailed high above the goal. Soon after that, Dempsey would find the net for the U.S., allowing for a few anxious moments at the end of the game as the U.S. pushed for the equalizer.
"Overall a good experience and I hope it was a good show for people in the stands,” said Arena. “I think it was positive for the game in this country to bring such a good team in here and have a good game."
In the 91st minute, midfielder Clyde Simms entered the match for his first international cap, capping off a remarkable rise up the ladder of soccer in the United States from the USL First Division to MLS to the U.S. MNT over the past six months.
The U.S. team now travels to Utah on Monday, where the U.S. will play host for the second time in the final round of FIFA World Cup qualifying, welcoming Costa Rica on June 4 in Salt Lake City. Kickoff at Rice-Eccles Stadium is set for 5:30 p.m. MT, and will be broadcast live on ESPN2 and delayed on Telemundo at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT. The match will be followed by MLS expansion franchise Real Salt Lake hosting FC Dallas at 8 p.m. in the second game of the doubleheader. Four days later, the U.S. travels to face Panama at the Estadio Rommel Fernandez in Panama City. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. CT, and the match will be broadcast via tape-delay on ESPN2 at 1 a.m. ET and on Telemundo at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT.

Football / Chelsea and Sky One launch nationwide search for a star
« on: May 27, 2005, 12:21:48 PM »Sky One follows Premiership Champions Chelsea FC in national search for a FOOTBALL ICON
Thousands of young hopefuls will be tested to find one winner of the ultimate prize — a professional contract with Chelsea FC
Sky One, the UK's leading non-terrestrial channel, has commissioned North One to produce FOOTBALL ICON, an 8x'60 observational documentary series following Premiership Champions and League Cup winners Chelsea FC as they engage in the greatest football talent search ever undertaken in Britain. In an initiative supported by Chelsea’s top management, thousands of trialists are expected to take part with the prize of a professional contract at Chelsea FC for the talented winner.
FOOTBALL ICON aims to discover new talent and unearth those who may have slipped through the net. Promising drama both on and off the pitch, FOOTBALL ICON will examine the gruelling challenges that face today's youth as they vie for a place in the Chelsea academy.
In June 2005, the nationwide search for a FOOTBALL ICON commences with three regional heats in Manchester (13-18 June), West Midlands (20-26 June) and London (28 June - 10 July). From these trials, a shortlist of just 12 will be invited to Chelsea's football academy. At Chelsea's training HQ in Cobham, Surrey, the dream dozen will undergo a summer of exhaustive tests and trials. Full details of the terms and conditions can be found at www.skyone.co.uk/footballicon.
Each week, trainees will be eliminated from the trials until only three remain. In the ultimate footballing showdown, Chelsea Manager, Jose Mourinho and his academy staff will decide the winner of FOOTBALL ICON. The prize - possibly one of the greatest prizes ever offered on TV - is a professional contract with Chelsea FC.
Chelsea FC's academy has produced John Terry, this year's PFA Player of the Year, and Robert Huth, while other players at Chelsea such as Football Writers’ Player of the Year Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, Glen Johnson and Scott Parker have graduated through the academy system at other English clubs. The winner will be given every opportunity to prove he has the talent to follow in these illustrious footsteps.
Chelsea set an English top flight record for points and a Premiership record for most wins in a season in the 2004/5 Season. Now the team, under the guidance of manager, Jose Mourinho, are looking to build on their achievements as the club looks to the future. The preparations begin now...
Jose Mourinho, manager and first team coach of Chelsea FC, commented: "Not every young player is spotted through the normal process. Here is an opportunity for someone who may have been missed to come to Chelsea. This also shows that Chelsea is not just about the top players signed for big money. We are open to anyone who is good enough. We want our academy to be a breeding ground for first team talent and if we can find someone through Football Icon, either in England, or around the world, then that will be fantastic."
FOOTBALL ICON will also offer a unique look inside Chelsea. The series follows the fortunes of the hopefuls aspiring to a first-team place; the planning for the club's Centenary and an insight into the day to day activities of the club.
James Baker, Controller of Sky One, commented: "This is a very exciting initiative and we are delighted to be working closely with Chelsea FC on this project. This is an aspirational series - for every young footballer that has written to clubs around the country asking for a trial - this is their big chance. The show is absolutely authentic and the prize is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
FOOTBALL ICON is a North One Television production for Sky One. The series was commissioned by Jo Wallace, Director of Original Programming, Sky One. Series Producer is Nick Evans. Executive Producers are Steve Regan for Sky One and Neil Duncanson and John Quinn for North One.

Football / Norville: "Injuries Cost Me My Chance"
« on: May 25, 2005, 05:34:46 AM »
JASON Norville cited continual injury problems as the main reason he never established himself at Watford.
The Trinidadian striker was released by the Hornets at the end of the 04/05 season and will be looking for a new club next year, with Colchester United a possible destination after an earlier interest in the 21-year old.
A player who was always on the periphery of the first-team without ever breaking through, he suffered a torried run of injuries which ruled him out of action for lengthy periods in almost every season at Vicarage Road - ultimately ending his time with the Hornets.
Before heading off on his summer break, Norville sat down with watfordfc.com to ponder a spell which promised much, but ultimately delivered very little.
"No, it hasn't delivered much at all," he agreed. "I remember after my debut at Bradford talking about pushing on and playing in the first team but it's just never happened.
"I've had a lot of injuries during my time here, one after the other really, so it's been very hard to even get close to the team.
"I'd like to think that people knew I was a good player but injuries prevented me showing it to anyone. If I could have stayed injury-free I'm sure that things would be different now."
Jason nearly joined Colchester United on a loan spell but was recalled just before the transfer deadline, and hopes that their earlier interest will manifest itself in the form of a contract offer during the summer.
"I haven't spoken to them but I would hope so - it was disappointing not to go there and show what I could do but I don't know if they're still interested.
"It would have been the ideal chance to get some league games under my belt - I was playing in the Reserves here anyway but some proper league games would have been good for my fitness and confidence."
The striker enjoyed a rich run of form in the Barclays Premiership Reserve League (South) towards the end of his Watford stint, scoring five in five starts and, he hopes, finally showing what he's capable of.
"I knew a little ago that my contract wasn't being renewed so I was playing for myself really - that's the best way to play I think, to do it for yourself," he revealed.
"Scouts want to see you in the first team - I know I can play at the Reserve level because I've done it for the last six years but could I do it at the next level up? I think I can and that's what I want to prove next year."
