The hole has been dug and Wednesday night could be the end of a storied career for one player.

It's an outside shot, but it's still a shot!!

Champions League Tuesday, previews here, watch online here!



Stoke City 1 - Newcastle United 3 (10-31-2011, EPL)




The narrative of Freddy Adu is a straightforward one, right? He's the prodigy who appeared in a soda commercial alongside Pele at age 14 -- the subtext of their pairing starved of subtlety -- but never did become a soccer superstar. He's the cautionary tale of the great American hype machine.


Bike of the Week



The Mexican defender may have ended his stint in New York with one of the most pathetic displays in MLS history after taking a dive during a post-match fight that he started.


Barcelona 5 - Mallorca 0 (10-29-2011, La Liga)



Barcelona could seal their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League on Tuesday night when they travel to Viktoria Plzen, where Lionel Messi could also reach the 200-goal mark for the Catalan club.


Real Madrid 1 - Real Sociedad 0 (10-29-2011, La Liga)



It has been a very difficult year for AC Milan, first starting slow in league play, then losing Gennaro Gattuso (Blinded in his left eye), now playboy/superstar Antonio Cassano had a stroke after last weekends game?


Bayern Munich 4 - Nurenberg 0 (10-29-2011, Bundesliga)



Over the weekend Molde FK clinched their first ever Norwegian title and thereby earned a spot in next year's Champions League. American Josh Gatt was a big part of Molde's success this year playing significant time at both right wing and right back. He was one of the fastest players in the league and he scored a couple of notable highlight reel goals.


Lazio 3 - Cagliari 0 (10-29-2011, Serie A)



Finishing the regular season top of the table and then winning the finals series is a pretty good feat. But it’s losing your best players over the break and still being far and away the best team in the competition that shows real class.


Siena 4 - Chievo 1 (10-29-2011, Serie A)



Now all he has to do is say "I'm Sorry" and all will be forgotten? It's so easy how this all works when large amounts of money are involved!!


AC Milan 3 - Roma 2 (10-29-2011, Seria A)



Diving: Football's Equivalent Of Chlamydia!! And by that, Matthew Stanger means that while it's a disease, it's one that can be treated easily. To borrow from The Daily Mail, there are worse things to complain about
