Barcelona 3 – Arsenal 1 (Agg. 4-3) (Champions League last-16 second-leg, March 8, 2011)



You turn 16, you get your drivers license, mom and dad give you a Lexus to drive to work! You pull into work and park next to a Bentley, Porche, and BMW, your job? Professional Soccer Player for LA Galaxy, not bad at 16!


Shakhtar Donetsk 3 – Roma 0 (Agg. 6-3) (Champions League last-16 second-leg, March 8, 2011)



He was hated by every team he played against and loved by his team, he did the dirty work and was called every name in the book, but Dema Kovalenko may have played brash at times but what he also did was Win!


Tackle of the Week



The last few years we have seen players from France start to gain a foothold in MLS, I personally call it retirement for players that are 32-36 years old.


Blackpool 1 – Chelsea 3 (Premier League, March 7, 2011)

szólj hozzá: Bla1-3Ce


Ryan Giggs, Arjen Robben, Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, besides all being world class players they have another more sinister thing in common, they are all left footed players and that alone some will say has an advantage all to itself!


Ajax 4 – AZ Alkmaar 0 (Eredivisie, March 6, 2011)



In the 1950's the Beautiful game was all about style and the league that had tons of style on and off the field was Serie A, the Italians also imported Danish and not the type you eat but the types that score and win!


Skill Show Vol. 48



In another sign that we may see one of the best German players of his generation playing in the MLS come summer time.


Groningen 1 – Heracles 4 (Eredivisie, March 6, 2011)



ESPN announced it's new color commentary man for the MLS, he will be familiar to some if you follow soccer. The rest of the group Lalas, Harkes, Bretos, and Twelleman should also be familiar.


Libertad 5 - U. San Martin (Copa Libertadores, March 8, 2011)



He won World Player of the Year, Champions League, and a few Scudetto's all with AC Milan. Now Kaka is trying to be off loaded by Real Madrid, but the only problem is he get's paid a lot of quid!


Goal of the Week Nominee



Goal line technology will happen sooner rather than later or FIFA will have a world wide problem on it's hands. Down in South America it was needed the other night because the "Goal that wasn't" would have been correctly awarded!
