A Sad Day

12:09 PM, Sunday, 30 December 2007

It had been a great afternoon, even to be at home with a bunged up, well, everything, watching the latest goals coming in on BBC Score.

'Pool stay cool, as knockout stage looks set for British Invasion

10:04 AM, Friday, 30 November 2007

Liverpool kept their dreams alive with a somewhat fortuitous 4-1 over Porto yesterday. The scoreline was very flattering to Rafa Benitez's men, but they won't complain as they are still in with a chance to go through.  They must now go and win in Marseilles, in what is a very tight...

Non è stato necessario attendere mercoledì, per la prima volta nella storia Glasgow è espugnata. Dopo una battaglia sotto il diluvio (dai, mi concedo un po' di retorica), i ragazzi di Donadoni hanno vinto 2-1, un gol al 2' e uno al 90', in mezzo tanta Scozia ma anche tanta Italia. Gli...
