The way I read it, the CAS ruled that Barca and Schalke and Bremen are not obligated to release their U23 players for the Olympics because the Olympics aren't on the FIFA calendar (which was a massive balls up by FIFA).
Whether the clubs actually recall the players that're already in China...that's another question. |

Insert cool title here<-- Group: Moderators Posts: 4,121 Joined: 7-May 06 From: Berlin, Germany Member No.: 1,792 |
That's a wise decision by the CAS. Regarding the current legal position the countries have no right to demand those players for such a tournament as the Olympics. And the best thing about it is Sepp Blablas defeat. Can't say how much I despise this guy.
Also a club like Schalke needs Rafinha in the league and, even more important, the CL qualifier against Athletico. Having him or not might make a huge difference in terms of income. |

So I really did make it up at....5am to watch the football.
It's HT and Italy are doing rather well. They lead Honduras 2-0. Giovinco scored the first (lovely long distance shot) and Giuseppe Rossi the second (a penalty). Abate hasn't played yet, but he may make an appearance in the second half. Tomasso Rocchi has a slight injury and Acquafresca started in his place. So far, Giovinco has been the danger man for the Azzurri. The other games (US-Japan, Brazil-Belgium, and Australia-Serbia) are scoreless at the half. |

FT results for the first four games:
Italy 3 - 0 Honduras Brazil 1 - 0 Belgium USA 1 - 0 Japan Australia 1 - 1 Serbia Italy's 3d goal was another penalty, this one taken by Acquafresca. Abate came on for Rossi in the 60th and did rather well aside from collecting a silly yellow in injury time. De Silvestri conceded a penalty (foul in the box) but it went probably 3 meters over the bar. Brazil's game was hardly scintillating, at least judging from the text commentary (it wasn't being shown on television here). Belgium put up a good fight until Kompany (their captain and best player) got sent off in the 71st for a second bookable offense. Goal by Hernanes in the 78th. Belgium's Fellaini was also sent off, in the 86th. Holden scored the goal for the US. Rajkovic scored for Serbia and (sorry not sure) scored for Australia. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) But handball is also a "foul in the box". Though, I guess if someone conceded a penalty by spitting at the ref or hurling choicest of abuses at him or a player, that would be an option. But wait, I think that results in a red card for the offending player and an indirect free-kick from just outside the box (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |

I'm watching the Dutch vs Nigeria ...
An entertaining match .. Though still 0-0 @ the 63rd minute ... Nigeria have some real good players, been a long time since I'v seen a good Nigerian team since, hmm probably WC 94. While the Dutch have a really good team here .. With Babel, Drenthe, and Snoe from Celtic UPDATE: Korea just scored against Cameroon This post has been edited by Rossoneri7: Aug 7 2008, 02:14 PM |

Not sure if it's been posted, but on SSN they're saying Barca will let Messi stay with the Argentina team.

FT results for the late games today:
Netherlands 0 - 0 Nigeria China 1 - 1 New Zealand (goals by Li and Brockie) Argentina 2 - 1 Cote d'Ivoire (goals by Messi and Acosta for the Argies and by Cisse for Cote d'Ivoire) South Korea 1 - 1 Cameroon (goals by Park and Mandjeck) I was only able to watch the first few minutes of the Argentina game before going to work so can't really comment on the games much. Apparently Evander Sno was sent off for the Netherlands in injury time. |
