Ireland

Irishmen using their heads!

♣I love it when the shortest man on the pitch scores with a header.  A sweet powerful header that essentially leads the defense to thinking twice when they are going to choose who they mark.  The Tall guy in the middle who is already covered, or the short guy who just trailed in on the far post?

♣Well, in this case, the Fulham defenders decided to cover the other strikers and Everton players and leave Coleman all by his lonesome.  You can see in the video how theres a good 10-12 feet between Coleman and the nearest Fulham defender when the cross is first played across the box by Osman.

♣Hopefully we will be seeing some of this from Coleman in the upcoming games!!  Cheers Coleman, you may be up for Irishman of the Week?

♣Coleman wasn’t the only one using his head today; Walters was at it too for Stoke in their 4-0 victory over Newcastle.  Walters scored the first goal for Stoke after nodding a nice cross over the goalie and into the net.  Not only did he score, but he was threatening and got an assist too on the last goal of the game, which will of course put him in the running for Irishman of the Week.  Full game highlights below:

Wonderous Walters!

April 18th, 2011 | By: Schwallacus | Comments Comments(0)

Wowzers, Walters had a great game for Stoke City as they crushed Bolton 5-0.  He finished off the scoring by netting the final two goals for Stoke, with his first goal of the game, Stoke’s fourth, being absolutely magnificent.  His fifth one was decent, but WOW on the fourth.
Made a nice run with the ball for 20 yards or so ... [read more]

Injuries? MEH

March 25th, 2011 | By: Schwallacus | Comments Comments(0)

So apparently the injury bug has stricken the Irish team, as many players have some knocks and nags here and there, so the roster is definitely not set in stone.
♣From what I hear, Coleman has an injured ankle from the game this past weekend against Fulham.  The physios took a look at him and after a few days in Ireland, ... [read more]

The Problems Plaguing Brazil

If you've been paying attention to the pandemonium in Brazil, you might notice this football-mad country is pretty damn mad about some football, namely the World Cup (the Rio Olympics aren't helping either). Basically, just like everyone else who throws a big party, they're not happy with the costs and ...

Fun With Romanian Riot Police

Football is - sport in general, really - a great place for some creative hyperbole. "He shot it to the moon!" Well no, not really. "The defender has him in his back pocket." Diego Buonanotte or Maximiliano Moralez perhaps, but no one else. Today, we have a new one: "Boy, ...

Lecce Fans Really Wanted Promotion, Let Everyone Know

Given Lecce has spent recent times bouncing between Serie A and Serie B, the dungeons of Italian football, where they were placed for doing all sorts of scandalous Italian things, aren't quite acceptable. The fans let their displeasure be known after failing in the playoffs for promotion back to Serie ...

Sebastien Squillaci Becomes Clark Kent

Call it a week, call it a month, call it a summer. The battle is over. "Can I just stay here with you?" "Definitely not." One needn't have paid the slightest attention to Sebastien Squillaci's time at Arsenal to find the genius in this video. Every club should have one. [101gg] ...

This Year In Schadenfreude

The Guardian has gone and shaken some salt into several open wounds by unveiling the twenty worst sitter misses of 2012-13. There are some solid names on the list, including Barcelona's fresh new 50m+ signing, and they don't discriminate based on gender, either, with Nicoletta den Ridder is a solid ...

Aruban Goalkeepers Gone Wild

Ketchup and mustard kits aside (no corner taken on color richness), this little clip from Aruba has so much going for it. From the mere fact it's a goalkeeper goal, to the Marco Tardelli-esque celebration of unadultered joy and childlike innocent, to the complete meltdown at the end by the ...

Brendan Rodgers Provides Interview Of The Year

Watching sports interviews, no matter the sport, is like watching a cheating husband attempt to deflect questions. The actual question is answered roughly three percent of the time. Brendan Rodgers somehow manages to do the same when it's a 9 year old firing the hard-hitters his way. Almost as though ...

Javier Mascherano's Fight Club

Football has a bit of a reputation for a little bit of liar, liar, pants on fire when it comes to the injuries. Javier Mascherano has boosted that several levels. Beyond kicking another dude in the back while being taken off for an injury, he then hopped off the stretcher ...
