Shakhtar beat Dynamo Kiev 4:3 in Kiev in a match which saw two red cards and the same player score an own goal twice. Shakhtar look rebound from last season as their lead at the top is now 13 points

Argentina all wrapped up. Estudiantes lost the league with the last 4 games. Having gone undefeated up until that stretch where they didn't muster up a single win. Boca in the end won. What a meltdown.

Tevez cried in his last game...he's on his way to China.

The Russian winter break has set in with games not returning until the beginning of March. On 3/2 Zenit will play CSKA in a huge first match back.

Went to the Feyenoord - Vitesse game about a week ago. Great game, good energy. Kuyt was, as always, everywhere and Berghuis had a brace. Nice to see the Winter Champions up 4 going into the break.

Just watched extra time of the Liga MX final and it was the wildest thing I've ever seen

Potential four-team title race in Turkey? Gala and Fener are slowly creeping back in it, all four sides from Istanbul as well


1. Istanbul BB 36
2. Besiktas 35
3. Galatasaray 33
4. Fenerbahce 31

IBB are one of these "new rich" teams in Turkey

Petr Vrba, who coached the Czech national team to a pathetic showing at the Euro, possibly in part because he agreed to a job with Makhachkala during it, has now been let go after just six months with the team.

 

[Milos Krasic]

Not surprising. Anzhi was just sold by Kerimov, so the new owner axed Vrba ASAP. In addition to bad results, a lot of their players are rumored to be leaving, and I mean A LOT: Berisha, Boli, Budkivskiy, Lazić, Xandão, and Iličević all have been linked with moves out.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Benfica extend their lead in Portugal to six points after Porto dropped points at Pacos de Ferreira. Sporting CP/Braga a distant third for now which is the last CL spot.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Partizan the latest victim of UEFA FFP, they have been banned from Europe for the next three seasons

Sam Larsson is brilliant.

Tom Tomsk have all but conceded relegation. Due to financial troubles (rumors players haven't been paid all season), they let most of their players go. Eric Bicfalvi, their best player went to Ural today.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Strange matchday in Turkey, the top four all drop points with Besiktas, Galatasaray and IBB all losing. Galatasaray's was most damaging as they were at home against a bottom three side and already knew Besiktas/IBB lost

1. Besiktas 44
2. IBB 42
3. Gala 39
4. Fener 36

 

[ecemleafs]

who the **** are IBB

 

[HajdukSplit]

Istanbul Basaksehir, something of a "new rich" club in Turkey where they bought some experienced Turkish internationals rather than foreigners (though they did recently buy Adebayor ) and they are a lot more stable than their neighbors in sticking with their manager and having a clear plan

However, it is important to note they seem to be government backed, some speculate Ergogan is involved too. They also have few fans and aren't popular among the "big three's" ultras

If anyone knows some good sites/links for following the Swiss league, I would appreciate it.

 

[Savi]

Youri Tielemans..

..with his right foot..



..and with his left foot

 

[Power Man]

Hanni for MVP

 

[ProPAIN]

Tielemans needs to make the next step up in his development, to a team that is challenging in a top 5 (preferably top 4) league title and European competition. Otherwise he'll just become another Dennis Praet. Even though it's quite early to write Praet off.

 

[Milos Krasic]

J League season starts in a few hours

 

[Deficient Mode]

Youri Tielemans..

..with his right foot..



..and with his left foot

Another one today. wtf is this guy on.

 

[Savi]

So, a couple of weeks ago Anthony Vanden Borre retired from football.. and today he announced his "comeback", he will be playing in the DR Congo

Argentina league has been postponed. The AFA had planned to start this weekend, but the players informed them they're striking...The FA had the audacity to even schedule the games.

Is their a bigger joke right now than Argentinean soccer?
