A hooligan’s death sparks a week of Judi Online debate and navel-gazing

A dark cloud passed over Spanish football last weekend as Lionel Messi was struck on the head by a bottle hurled from the stands in Valencia as he celebrated Barcelona’s winner, while over in Madrid a man was killed in a fight between hooligans attached to Atletico Madrid and Deportivo La Coruna.

Old news from Spain.

Messi left the Mestalla bruised but not wounded by the plastic missile and the club have vowed to find and ban the offender. Meanwhile the media has gone into soul-searching meltdown over the hooligan’s death, helped by the fact hazy video footage captured the moment when Atletico thugs dropped their Deportivo counterpart into the Manzanares river following a battering to his skull.

Approximately 200 Atletico thugs battled 80 hooligans predominantly from La Coruna, with some help from Judi Online groups attached to Alcorcon and Rayo Vallecano. The nominal clash was political – Frente Atletico being right-wing and the Riazor Blues from the left. Twelve further fans were injured and 24 arrested when the police showed up.

In English terms, the debate here seems to be positioned circa 1990, when a decade and a half of serious violence had led to several conclusions being drawn, most notably that it was near-impossible to detach hooliganism any further from football.

It has been a blast from the past hearing calls for more CCTV within stadia, a debate which resounded around England around the mid-1980s and the nadir of Heysel.

Once British thugs had been expelled from stadia and their environs by intense policing, they took to taking down each other’s numbers and arranging punch-ups between each other in isolated locations, as happened in Madrid.

The only remaining connections with the sport were that the gangs identified themselves with teams and their fights took place on match days.

As in England, the hooligan scene here is pathetic from a distance, an ugly spectacle of grown men stuck in the mentality of the school playground. The death of the Deportivo thug crossed the line of ultra culture of course. His ilk go to fight and not to kill, which explains why the top boys from the various groupings have each other’s phone numbers on speed dial.

These are not top-drawer criminals, who kill without qualms or the preamble of an arranged set-to. Like the protagonists of Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club, they are grown men lacking something in their lives and who make up for it with a bloody punch-up in private. This is not a footballing problem beyond the fact the fixtures calendar gives the police a clue to forthcoming scraps.

Sunday’s fatal clash in Madrid happened 300 metres away from Atletico’s Vicente Calderon ground but was planned using WhatsApp and took place at eight-thirty on a Sunday morning, so to centre the blame on the sport must be wide of the mark.

More than one press outlet referred to the hooligans as ‘aficionados’ (fans) of the …

Soccer – Mel places emphasis on keeping clean sheet West Bromwich Albion head coach Pepe Mel has demanded an improved defensive display from his side in the vital relegation six-pointer against Cardiff City at The Hawthorns. The Baggies have not kept a clean sheet in any of their last ten Premier League games and are just three points above the bottom three. Mel said: “The way we’re approaching the game is to be defensively strong. We’ve been conceding some very early goals and that means we have to put a lot of effort in. “We’re very capable of creating scoring opportunities and we’re convinced, if we don’t concede, we’ll be able to win the game.” Albion are available at 11/8 with bet365 to keep a clean sheet on Saturday and can be backed at 13/2 to beat Cardiff 1-0.

Soccer – Bruce fears the worst for McGregor

Allan McGregor’s season appears to be over after the Hull City goalkeeper damaged a kidney in the 2-1 defeat at West Ham United. Tigers boss Steve Bruce has confirmed that the former Rangers shot-stopper is still in hospital after suffering the injury on Wednesday in a collision with Mohamed Diame – an incident which resulted in the Hammers being awarded a penalty and McGregor being sent off. Second-choice keeper Steve Harper is in line to start this weekend’s match against Stoke City and Hull can be backed at 12/5 with to keep a clean sheet against the Potters. Shane Long is available at 3/1 to score at any time in the match. Bruce said: “It certainly looks like he’s going to miss the rest of the season. “Allan is as brave as they come but he’s taken a horrible knock to his kidneys and badly damaged one of them. We expect Allan to stay in hospital for at least another week.”…

Rafa wishes Togel Insua was left-back at home

game

Liverpool’s Premier League title assault has been dealt a blow with news that Emiliano Insua will miss the next five games.

The promising defender has been called up to Argentina’s squad for the under-20 South American championships. The three week tournament takes place in Venezuela later this month.

Insua has started the last four games for the Reds and has impressed in an unbeaten spell for the Premier League leaders. He looked to have cemented himself into Rafa’s plans for the foreseeable future.

The left-back will now miss Liverpool’s game against Stoke this coming Saturday, as well as a double header with city rivals Everton, a trip to Wigan and a top of the table Anfield clash with Chelsea.

The call comes as a sign of the full-back’s Togel stock rising for both his club and country this season. Insua, who turns 20 on January 7, has held off Togel competition at Liverpool from Brazilian Fabio Aurelio and Italian Andrea Dossena.

He is also tipped to take over from Gabriel Heinze for Diego Maradona’s Argentina in time for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

However, missing this spell of games for Liverpool could send him down the pecking order for the Premier League title hopefuls once again.

The under-20 South American championships are keenly watched by scouts from the biggest clubs in Europe as it is regarded as a hotbed of cheap talent.

This year’s tournament will run from January 19 through till the final on February 8.

The Merseysiders will also be represented at the tournament by reserve team defender Ronald Huth of Paraguay.

It makes me sad when I see some ex-international walk straight into a top job with no experience whatsoever. He takes his mates with him, gets sacked, makes a fortune then moves on again and does the same. Meanwhile, poor all Franky and Freddie at the Leyton Orients and Carlisles of this world don’t have a chance and are without doubt better coaches.

They should make it compulsory for coaches before they step into management to have three years coaching experience down in the football league before they make the step up.

Coming straight into it from playing is not, in my mind the right thing to do. Ideally, they should come and take a secondment attached to a Asian team for six months to see how they react when the President is sending little pieces of paper with the formation for the team in the second half, ringing you up on bench asking why have you not put this player on and done this etc.

That keeps you on your toes! You have to have nerves of steel to work in Asia. It isn’t all about nice beaches, Tom Yam soup and cold Bintang beer!”

Owl Mascot Kicked To Death Stirs Protest

An owl kicked to death in a match in Colombia between Barranquilla club Atletico Junior and Deportivo Pereira has lead to a storm of protests and internet controversy.

The owl was the unofficial mascot of Atletico Junior and had already been hit by the ball before it was unceremoniously booted off the pitch by Deportivo Pereira defender Luis Moreno, who has subsequently been suspended for two games and fined.

The poor owl didn’t look too healthy before the chain of events and questions must be asked why it was on the pitch to begin with. Birds of prey as club mascots are growing in popularity: Lazio now parade an eagle they “signed” from Benfica. Animal rights groups have condemned the fashion.

So how do we beat them? Once your team has done the basics of keeping its shape and its marking tight, it could try to tempt Barcelona upfield and then hit them on the break, but you have to be lightning quick as they scurry back after the ball faster than anyone. Nevertheless, full-backs Adriano and Daniel Alves stay true to their Brazilian blood and fly up the flanks into attack, leaving yards of grass behind to exploit on the counter.

Their goalkeeper Victor Valdes and back four are not as stellar as their midfield and attack, and can crack under pressure and at set pieces, as Arsenal’s goal proved. Applying any pressure is the hardest thing to do as Barça not only fight like tigers for the ball but run like cheetahs on the counter, making committing men forward a highly risky business.

But Pep Guardiola’s men are …

Costa Rica 0 – 1 Uruguay: First Judi Online Deposit Pulsa Blood To La Celeste In Intercontinental Playoff

game

A single goal is all that separates the sides heading into Wednesday’s second leg in Montevideo after Costa Rica and Uruguay played out a well fought battle in San Jose. It was Uruguay’s captain fantastic Diego Lugano who grabbed the games only goal and gave his team the perfect platform to complete the job on home turf next week.

The spirited encounter saw a total of seven yellow cards dished out by referee Alberto Undiano and he also flashed his red card at Costa Rica’s Randall Azofeifa early in the second half. Credit must be given to Costa Rica for attempting to get back into the Judi Online Deposit Pulsa game despite being reduced to ten men for such a large chunk of the contest.

For anyone expecting a cagey encounter inside the Estadio Ricardo Saprissa the idea was soon dispelled as both teams forced corners in the first ten minutes and the teams produced some real end to end stuff. With the game being played at a decent tempo the home crowd did their best to give Los Ticos every advantage they could by roaring them on everytime the ball travelled inside Uruguay’s half.

Diego Forlan was everywhere for Uruguay early on as he used his experience to drop deep and link midfield and attack. With many of the Costa Ricans overeager to impress Forlan lent his body in and won a number of freekicks in the middle of the park which disrupted the hosts and regained possession for La Celeste.

Luis Suárez was also making his presence felt for the visitors and he let fly with the game’s first meaningful effort. The early sighter sailed over Keylor Navas’ goal but left Costa Rica with doubt that they would have to stay on their guard to keep the Ajax man out.

For the hosts it was clear that their main source of danger was the combination play between Bryan Ruiz and long serving captain Walter Centeno. A one-two between the pair creating a shooting opportunity for Centeno but his effort was smothered by Uruguayan goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.

The game’s only goal came shortly after this initial feeling out period with the encounter was less than 25 minutes old. A darting run by Forlan into the box was well read and the Atlético Madrid man was able to reach a lofted pass. With the angle against him Forlan managed to hook the ball over Navas but could only watch as it agonisingly bounced along the goal-line before being put behind by a defender.

From the resulting corner Lugano rose to powerfully redirect the ball goalward before seeing his effort nodded off the line. The clearance was tossed back into the danger zone from the edge of box and Lugano who had travelled in the direct of his first effort was on hand to break the deadlock as he reconnected with the ball.

With the home crowd silenced Uruguayan coach Oscar …

Korean Import Steals The Dominoqq Show

game

From second choice to first class, Queensland Roar’s Korean recruit Seo Hyuk-Su is rapidly rivalling Dwight Yorke for the title of most valuable A-League import. Marc Fox reports.

Earlier this year, when Queensland coach Miron Dominoqq Bleiberg was assembling his first-ever A-League squad ahead of the competition’s August start, he invited Korean World Cup veteran Shin Tae-Yong to tropical Australia for a trial. When 35-year old Shin arrived, however, he wasn’t alone.

Seongnam Ilhwa team-mate Seo Hyuk-Su had accompanied his senior colleague on the trip and was duly given the chance to impress Bleiberg on the pitch. With seemingly immeasurable stamina and astute positioning, Seo made an instant impact. The Roar snapped him up.

Six months later, clinching the 32-year-old’s signature still stands as the best piece of business Queensland carried out during pre-season. Although the least garnered of the five Asian imports in the new league when he arrived, Seo has quickly established himself as the archetypal Most Valuable Player. Not only has the likeable midfielder stepped out of the shadows of Shin at his club, he has become the number one Asian import in the whole league – and is closing in on Dwight Yorke’s untouchable status as most heralded overseas recruit.

Even though his playing resume from his days in Korea – seven seasons in the K-League following a lengthy spell in Korea’s second tier – might not have suggested so, Seo has dwarfed the achievements of his continental counterparts during the new competition’s opening exchanges.

The form of Adelaide United’s Chinese marquee signing Qu Shengqing has been interrupted with niggling injuries and is only threatening to take off two months in. Meanwhile Qu’s countryman at the New Zealand Knights, Xiaobin Zhang, has been in and out of the side currently languishing at the root of the table and Japan-born players Hiro Ishida (Perth Glory) and Naoki Imaya (NZ Knights) are only now flourishing after injury setbacks.

In contract, Seo has been an A-League ever-present for Bleiberg. In fact, nobody can remember the last time the star nicknamed Harold by his constantly ribbing colleagues didn’t start a match for the Roar.

And his influence is forever growing. Although arriving down under as a self-professed full-back, Seo has been converted into the league’s most adept holding midfielder. The position is pivotal in Bleiberg’s attack-minded 4-3-3 formation within which the Korean’s midfield allies are encouraged to get forward and support the strikers as much as possible. Seo reads the game so well, the coach often relies on him to cover for marauding sweeper Chad Gibson when the captain strides forward.

He is a sweet passer, a tigerish tackler and packs a punch when shooting too. Seo has scored in each of his last two A-League outings, both strikes blockbusters from metres outside the box – one with the left, one with the right. Furthermore, a rare mistake to allow Sydney FC’s opening goal in the defeat to the pre-season …

Aloisi and Elrich join the party, but Milicevic causes a Bandar Togel Hongkong scene

game

It’s perhaps a compliment to the A-League that when, over the past couple of weeks, news of the imminent arrivals of Socceroos big guns John Aloisi and Ahmad Elrich filtered through, there was some noticeable shrugging of the shoulders.

It wasn’t of the ‘who cares?’ variety because plenty of people do, especially at Aloisi’s new home on the Central Coast of New South Wales where the current league-leading Mariners can’t seem to put a foot wrong despite numerous obstacles.

And it certainly wasn’t in any way a reaction to the pair’s perceived impact on a competition just two-and-a-bit years old after their respective times in European domestic football.

After all Elrich scored a wonderful long range strike on his full debut for Wellington Phoenix against the Mariners over the weekend.

The unenthusiastic responses are more likely attributable to Australia’s recent desensitising to these latest Socceroos upping sticks and relocating back to the lucky country.

Coming on the back of the pre-season signings of former captain Craig Moore, Tony Popovic, Danny Tiatto, Paul Agostino, Hayden Foxe and Ljubo Milicevic, Aloisi and Elrich are in many ways just another two names.

Big names, certainly – especially that of Aloisi whose good fortune in scoring the penalty which sent the Socceroos into the 2006 World Cup at Uruguay’s expense has burned his moniker into the memories of every Australian sports nut.

But just further vindication of the direction of Australian football under the auspices of the FFA and the A-League.

It can be debated whether any underlying complacency about the immediate future of the game should be allowed to creep back into the country’s psyche.

In the current spirit of its recent strides, the facts can be easy to forget but should quickly be qualified.

Elrich was the ninth and Aloisi the 10th member of Australia’s 2005 Confederations Cup squad to strike terms with an A-League club with former national team coach Frank Farina also finding a home at Queensland Roar.

When the Aussie league kicked off later that same year, not one of the country’s band of downtrodden fans, journalists or football enthusiasts would have predicted that within a couple of seasons close to half the nation’s first choice squad would be, if you like, working from home.

Elrich, although just 26, cut short his three-year Bandar Togel Hongkong contract in England with Fulham to pen a year-long marquee deal with Wellington after falling down the pecking order at Craven Cottage.

While for the 31-year-old Aloisi, the only Australian in history to have competed in the English Premier League, the Serie A in Italy and Spain’s La Liga, his repatriation also represents a permanent move.

“I have made my intentions clear that I have wanted to return to Australia and contribute to the A-League and I am delighted to be able to be a part of the league and look forward to getting on the pitch,” …

Togel Singapore Interview: Adelaide United Coach Aurelio Vidmar

game

Aurelio Vidmar is the caretaker coach of Adelaide United. He took over the A-League team in February after a 6-0 defeat in the Grand Final against Melbourne Victory.

The 40 year-old, who played over 50 times for the Socceroos, wants the job on a permanent basis and hopes that the Asian Champions League will give him the chance to show what he can do.

Adelaide have won one (against Dong Tam Long An of Vietnam) and lost one (against Chinese champs Shandong Luneng) in their first two games in the continental competition so far and face their toughest test yet on Wednesday night when they meet Korean champions Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma.

You took over the team just after a 6-0 defeat in the Grand Final and the resignation of the coach, it must have been a difficult situation to come into…

It was extremely difficult. We had planned a week off after the final but during that time, John Kosmina resigned and Ross Aloisi was stripped of the captaincy so there was a bit of turmoil going around the club.

When that happened all of a sudden they threw me into the position so it has been difficult.

Firstly, trying to get the Togel Singapore players motivated again after a difficult time but after a couple of training sessions, everything went slowly back to normal. I have been very happy with the attitude of the players up to now.

What, if anything, have you changed since taking the job?

It is hard to change too much. We changed a little of how we play our game. Everyone would like to think that it is a physical game and a big part of Australian football is like that but we try to play football when we can. That’s a difficult part too, not having much time to work on that.

Now you are an interim coach, would you like the job on a permanent basis?

Yes, I would. We are going through the process now. The club closed the applications window last Saturday and in the next 3-4 weeks they will be doing all the interviews and all that. I would love to take the job permanently.

Does it depend on results in the Asian Champions League?

I am not really sure to tell you the truth. I am not in the business of losing, I can tell you that. It is possible that being the coach during the Asian Champions League could be detrimental if performances are less than what we expect.

However, we have already come back from the 6-0 hiding to turn it around in a short space of time but there is still an awful lot of work to do.

Does it make your job as coach more difficult when you know you may only have a few weeks?

I’ve taken the attitude that I have got the position for next …

The Yellow Vest Movement Launches a New Form Of Protest – Burning Banknotes | Shelter Crypto | Shelter Humanity | Charity Token Homeless | Charity Coin

The yellow vest movement in France, which has been active for more than two months, continues to shine a light on taxes, the banking system and bureaucrats of the region. A group of Gilets Jaunes, who worked at the bill printing plant, explained that they would be burning pallets full of bills and starting with Israeli banknotes.

Yellow Vests Take Stock of Foreign Bills for Shelter Humanity

France’s grassroots yellow vest movement has been making headlines around the world, protesting against the country’s political system and monetary system. On Tuesday, February 5, approximately 18,000 Gilets Jaunes marched in Paris side-by-side with 12,000 CGT union members. A demonstration that featured employees of the Banque de France banknote factory was also held on Friday. This protest followed. Assocated yellow vests threatened to torch large amounts of banknotes made from paper. French correspondent for news.bitcoin.com explained how bill burners demand fiscal and social justice in an unusual way.
