Former soccer player. Hair rebel. Brandan was kicked off

Tricky Free Kicks and other great goals ---
compilation set to music.
(by Chris) Today is one of the fews
days throughout the year where soccer football falls second
to American football on the global scene. --- In fact, it may be the only day... --- This year, footy falls to a very distant second due to my hometown New England Patriots making an assault on perfection...
So it turns out that all the ridiculous
stories about David Beckham and family we have read
over the past six months were just a prelude to the main act: the advertising blitz. I bet you are shocked, I say SHOCKED, to hear that the (possibly) Botoxed ...
The little balls were all shiny, the men
in suits looked like they hadn’t missed a plate
of dessert in years and the excitement was almost palpable on the air conditioned stage in Monaco. The draw for the group stages of the 2008 Champions League took place on Thursday with all the perfectly scripted fanfare that you would expect from an image-conscious competition.
If you’re a US soccer fan like we

Today I’m bringing you a preview of my
team, the LA Galaxy. (Motto: We may be over-hyped,
but we’re trying desperately not to be over-rated. And we do so deserve to go to all those fun and exotic tournaments! ) If you have any interest in ...

For many of us, the best thing about
knockout tournaments is the so-called Cinderella team. Every big

Wow! Enjoy! And on a side note, I
CHALLENGE ALL OF YOU TO FIFA!!!!!!!!!
News from Milan is that Ronaldo’s recent (and
by recent I mean at least the last five

When I turned on the (entirely legal, of
course) stream for the Serbia-Kazakhstan match on Saturday, all

How do you want to spend your Christmas?
A few presents, some turkey, a slice of pie
and a side of… David Beckham? Hey, me too! This year, we’re in luck. BBC2 Radio has signed Beckham to either give a radio address or answer listeners’ ...
