The Best and some of the Rest………..what do three wrongs make?

The Best…..

Some cracking goals in the Champions League on match day 4. Ryan Babel's late long range effort against Lyon looked to have locked up three points for Liverpool against Lyon but it was not to be.

A late equalizer from Marius Onofras of Unirea Urziceni against Rangers kept his team in the poll position to move on – postage stamp corner stuff. Ronaldinho  showed how to take an unsaveable penalty when he equalized for Milan against Real Madrid.

As far as the Bolton defense was concerned John Carew was unplayable on Saturday. Aston Villa thrashed Bolton 5-1 and the Norwegian striker contributed a goal, two assists and was fouled for a penalty that eventually led to a goal.

Shoot out of the weekend must have been Lyon against Marseille at the Stade Gerland. Ten

Weekend Preview……FIFA Under-20 World Cup and a look back
Posted by: BobbyMcMahon on Sep 18, 2009 at 02:05:11 PM

What with World Cup qualifying, Champions League, Europa League, CONCACAF Champions League and  the domestic leagues in full flow there is a major tournament on the horizon that is currently flying under most radars.

Next Thursday the FIFA Under-20 World Cup starts in Egypt. The climatic conditions has meant a later start than most clubs would want but the oppressive heat of an Egyptian summer make it impractical to do otherwise.

One thing that jumps out from a quick scan of the 24-teams and that is who is missing. The current holders Argentina finished bottom of the six-team South American qualifying group and will not add to their five wins in the last seven tournaments.

The Under-20 World Cup is bill boarded as the place to see the stars of tomorrow and it is a tough statement to

The Best and Some of the Rest...Ronaldinho makes an impact
Posted by: BobbyMcMahon on Aug 23, 2009 at 10:31:29 PM

The Best…..

Forty-two minutes of the Wigan – Manchester United game with Dimitar Berbatov breaking into the penalty box…and an absolutely brilliant tackle by Titus Bramble. It was worthy of Bobby Moore or Franco Baresi.

(The second half, however, did not turn out so well for Bramble and his Wigan mates as United tore through Wigan apart and scored five with no reply.)

Ronaldinho sets them up and Pato scores them.  That was the case on Saturday as Milan beat Siena 2-1. The second set up was particularly noteworthy. Ronaldinho sliced a perfectly weighted and angled pass inside the Siena full back for Flamini to run onto. The former Arsenal man then played the ball across the penalty box and all Pato had to do was to redirect it into an empty net. 

Lyon went
