theres always some random dirtiness at all levels.
for example:
the other day at my brothers game (he's a natural left winger/forward), he plays for felix-leclerc high which around AA with some kids who play AAA. During a corner a defender goes sup to my brothers firned and pocked him in the eye right before so he wouldnt be able to see and miss the cross...

divolino remembers the Felix Leclerc players and how they made him very uneasy in his first ever match for Saint-louis AA. He was 13 and playing against taller/bigger 17 year olds and was battered and mugged every-time he touched the ball

Reports have emerged that Barcelona striker Thierry Henry is set to snub a lucrative move to Manchester City in favour of the American side New York Red Bulls after the World Cup 2010 in South Africa.
According to the Daily Mail, Henry will look for a new challenge after the World Cup with the 32-year old excited at the prospect of playing football in one of the world's biggest cities in New York.
Following David Beckham's footsteps, Henry is reportedly ready to turn down a chance to return to the Premier League with Manchester City. After watching Arsenal demolish Blackburn 6-2 at the Emirates Stadium and receiving a rousing reception, Henry is reportedly uninterested in an England return.
With reports in England and Spain full of stories regarding Manchester City striker Robinho moving to Barcelona, it is rumoured that the Catalan giants are willing to offer Henry as a make-weight to land the Brazilian as early as January.
However, Henry is reportedly uninterested in the potential move, as the New York Red Bulls are desperate to land the striker. Missing out on this year's MLS play-off's with star Juan Pablo Angel out injured, Henry is the American side's main target in the transfer window.
With friends David Beckham and Freddie Ljungberg already stars in the MLS, Henry is said to be thinking heavily of a North American move after the World Cup this summer.
A partnership of Juan Pablo and Henry? That would be awesome.

Just thought I'd add some information about the now finished Norwegian 2009 season (which no-one ever bothers to read).
Champions: Rosenborg.
This is the 21st time the Trondheim club wins the title, and they will be back in the CL where they belong next season.
Runners-up: Molde.
3d place: Stabæk.
The cup final was played today, Aalesund eventually edged out Molde on penalties after a 2-2 draw that saw two goals scored in extra time, Aalesund's equaliser coming 4 minutes from full time. Best final in years. This also means Aalesund manager Kjetil Rekdal keeps his unbeaten streak in cup finals, having never lost one as player or coach (LaPalma might remember Rekdal for his glory days with Monchengladbach and Hertha Berlin. The rest of you may remember him scoring the penalty that saw us beat Brazil in '98 and send us through to the 1/8 finals. If any of you ever reads this, that is).
kurtsimonw
Nov 8 2009, 05:16 PM
I've heard of Rosenborg, Molde and Stabek.. but Aalesund? Are they a good side or is it a shock for them to win the Cup?
Locke Lamora
Nov 8 2009, 05:46 PM
It's probably the greatest upset this side of the millenium. Aalesund finished 13th in the league, one place and two points above the qualification spot. Lots of credit to fans of both teams, they were a class act today.
I'll get some pictures and videos up, there were some goals scored this season which I think are right up there with the best England, Spain and Italy has to offer. But for now, cup glory:
Aalesund fans creating great atmosphere:
There aren't any good videos showing the best goals of the season yet, but this was easily the worst incident of the season. Fair play? Tell that to Odd Grenland's Peter Kovacs...
For once, Paolo Di Canio would have handled this betterOn a second though, this goal was rather decent:
Huseklepp vs Stabæk
I remember that victory but I can't remember the scorer. I read that through the end! What do I get?

A quick note from earlier today. During the Remembrance Day minutes silence before the Falkirk-Celtic game, a minority of Celtic fans were singing IRA songs during it showing a complete lack of respect. It's very sad really, only to be made sadder that all of these people didn't die in a horrible car crash on their way home. Some people do deserve death.

Two more things about the Cup final, the player who scored Aalesund's final equaliser, Tor Hogne Aarøy is the tallest player in professional football at 2.04 (6 ft 8+1⁄2 in).
Who needs Peter Crouch, eh?
Secondly, kudos to Molde manager Kjell Jonevret for taking the defeat very well, there was a blatant penalty for Molde in the second half that the ref overlooked, and when asked (the interviewer did his best to bait him) about it afterwards he said something along the lines of: "I guess I should take a look at the replay before butchering the ref. All honour to Aalesund, who fought very hard for it."

Word is Middlesbrough are showing an interest.
As for class and loyalty - well, he never left either of the OF to directly join the other. So your loyalty comment is a little incorrect. He's just a footballer who has gone where he'd be paid. He's also one of our best players so I hope we hold onto him.

Yes. And it doesn't happen.
What does happen is they leave one, play wherever for a while, get good, then the other gets interested.
As far as I know, no OF player, in the reasonably modern era, has ever left for the other half of the OF.

David "does nothing to help the MLS or LA Galaxy" Beckham last night helped his Galaxy team into the MLS Finals. He hardly played last season due to injury and I believe they were the worst team in the league, now he's playing the majority of the games and.. surprise, surpise, they're awesome.
How many players have won a league title in 3 countries, I really can't think of many? This would make England, Spain and USA for Becks. With a Serie A title to add to that soon (hopefully!).
