Seedorf sends Milan into Club World Cup final

Without shine, the Italians ousted Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds 1-0 to seal a place in Sunday's final of the FIFA Club World Cup against Boca Juniors. 13-12 | 09:45 hs. As it was expected, Italy's AC Milan and Argentina's Boca Juniors, the two most important competitors, will contest the final match of the Club World Cup.

Milan managed to beat a willing Urawa in a match in which Kaka set the prologue to the role he went to Japan to play: win the FIFA World Player. The Brazilian played faster than his teammates but he seemed to be making no effort at all.

Milan needed only 67 minutes to score the winner as a result of a Kaka-Seedorf partnership, which works alone.

The best team from Asia still have a lot to improve to face the best European teams. In fact, when they were really confident, the Rossoneri netted.

The match failed to get rhythm, but once it began, it follow the logic. The Italians had many opportunites: a fault from Pirlo, a play of Kaka that Seedorf shot emotionless, a header from Ambrosini, a beautiful volley from Seedorf…

But then happened what Kaka wanted to: he combined with Seedorf, who smashed in the game's only goal. The result fell short compared to Milan's opportunities.

The Italians came to Japan to win the Club World Cup and that was shown at the Yokohama stadium. This way, Boca Juniors will have to perform better than against Etoile Sportive du Sahel if they want to claim the tournament as in 2003.

Two Tasty Dishes On Premier League’s ‘Grand Slam Sunday’

It’s a big moment once again for the EPL‘Big 4′ this week-end. Quick summary then…

.Manchester United

Hooliganism marred the draw with AS Roma last night. The 1-1 against the Italian’s was a game played out by fringe players for United. Only 3 players (Rooney, Nani and Carrick) who played were what you would call regulars. Decent game in Rome though, not great, but decent.

It has in fact been a decent week for United on the whole. Gary Neville has returned to training, he won’t be fit to visit the stadium which he loves so on Sunday however, as is the case with South Korean Park Ji-Sung. Also Owen Hargreaves is now rated as 50/50, as opposed to 0/100. Louis Saha has also been vocal, questioning how on Earth people can doubt his fitness. Fergie has been quiet though, much to my disappointment. The absence of Jose Mourinho means that there are no mind-games at all between the Big 4.
.

Chelsea

Chelski played out an instantly forgettable 0-0 with Valencia on Tuesday night. Each player in the starting XI interestingly was a recognized first-teamer, meaning that the thinking of Avram Grant is to keep the players on their toes for the London derby on Sunday.

Quiet week by all accounts down by the bridge. No new injury worries, no new injury returns. We can expect Monsieur Wenger to be guilty of voyeurism again though, as he will surely look to start the mind games with Grant, as it seems the mild-mannered Israeli doesn’t do too many things that are likely to make him enemies. There has been an unlikely catalyst for the mind games between the two though, Petr Cech shouting about how he wants to be Scrooge on Sunday.
.

Liverpool

What a week for Rafa B. He starts the biggest week of his Liverpool career with a loss against Reading . Doesn’t bode well considering you’ve got a must-win on Tuesday, the bosses are coming on Friday and your playing United on Sunday. Then the week flips right around on the must-win.

Liverpool were absolutely brilliant against Marseilles, and fully deserved the 4-0 win. The penalty, a stone-waller, the Torres goal, simply footballing genius from El Niño, the Kuyt goal, clinical and brilliantly taken, the Babel goal, cheeky and excellently converted. It was a vintage performance and an excellent result for Liverpool.

The only sounds coming from Melwood this week are war-cries really. There was Torres calling for the owners not to sack Rafael Benitez, and there was also Carra declaring that beating United is ‘more than 3 points’. Amen brother.
.

Arsenal

The Gunners made hard work of their 2-1 victory against Steaua. We did however see flashes of brilliance by England U21 International Theo Walcott and also Nicklas Bendtner, a player who every time I see him play reminds me more and more of a young Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Tall, skilful, and a keen eye for goal, this guy definitely has the ability to challenge for the title of best forward in Scandinavia.

Good and bad news for Arsenal ahead of Grand Slam Sunday, Cesc Fabregas is unlikely to be fit, as is Aliaksandr Hleb. However Abou Diaby and Mathieu Flamini are likely to be in the squad, and also Robin van Persie returned midweek against Steaua. RVP is likely to be instrumental on Sunday should he play.

So Two days to go. Excited?

CAFU: "Japan brings back memories"

MILAN - Marcos Cafu has played the Intercontinental Cup final on three occasions, winning twice with San Paolo (1992-1993), and he's the only one who has played it with a team from Europe as well as from South America. In Japan, in 2002, he lifted the World Cup with Brazil, as captain. He talked to Fifa.com about his feelings ahead of Milan's debut: 'I really hope to win with Milan. Each time I come to Japan I feel the same things. I remember the World Cup final and lifting the trophy. It's an image to Brazilian people will never forget, and neither will I. I never thought this country would mean this much to me, it was impossible to imagine all this when I was a kid in Brazil.'

Drogba leads race for CAF award

Wed, 12 Dec 2007 - 22:04
By: Hatem Maher

Didier Drogba will lead the run for the 2007 African Player of the Year after the five-man shortlist was announced by CAF on Wednesday.

The Ivorian striker, who was named Africa's best player in 2006, faces competition from Chelsea teammate Michael Essien.

Drogba finished the Premiership last season as the top scorer while Essien excelled in the heart of the Blues' midfield.

Malian striker Frederic Kanoute has also made the list after his exploits with Spanish side Sevilla.

He led the Andalucian outfit to their second successive UEFA Cup title at the expense of Espanyol as well as guiding his nation to a place in the African Cup of Nations.

Sevilla have also qualified to the UEFA Champions League and booked their place in the last 16.

Kanoute's compatriot Mahamadou Diarra has been named after his consistent displays with Primera Liga holders Real Madrid.

Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor has been included as he helped fill the void left by Thierry Henry, who joined Barcelona in the close season.

What They Said Last Month

Fri, 2 Nov 2007 - 05:31
By: Omar AbdelAziz

Penalty disputes, Jens Lehmann's ego, Arsenal excellence and Champions League action take the lion's share in the best quotes of October.

"I do not see this as a test for me as a manager, this is football, if you keep doing the right things like we did here, we will achieve what we want," Rafa Benitez cannot see that 'right things we did here' was losing 2-1 to Champions League minnows Besiktas!

"I feel OK. The only difference is in training you have the press - and they want to come back home and sleep with you. They are just always there," Thierry Henry describes the difference between the Premiership and La Liga.

"At the end of the day, he scored three goals. Other than that, I kept him pretty quiet," Reading defender Michael Duberry explains how he managed to mark Fernando Torres during the 4-2 cup defeat.

"I gave Longy a big kiss in the changing room. I don't know if his girlfriend's going to be happy with that big love bite on his neck, but that was me!" Duberry thanks Shane Long his own way after the latter's winner against Newcastle cancelled out Duberry's own goal.

"Simone Perrotta is a fantastic engine, he runs more than the train connection between London and Manchester," Sir Alex Ferguson said this after this season's 1-0 win, not after the last year's 7-1 game of course.

"When we were 6-0 up, one of their players said 'don't do any more dribbles', almost begging," If only Cristiano Ronaldo could tell who was that Roma player.

"I had to resist when everyone was saying to me 'buy, buy, buy' - and even bye-bye!" Arsene Wenger after the pre-season pressure was eased.

"Are Arsenal as good as people say they are? You'd better believe it, I thought they had 12 men out there!" Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher after the 1-1 draw at Anfield.

"Rangers did not want to play soccer. They practiced, from the first moment, anti-soccer," Barcelona ace Lionel Messi hates it when it ends goalless.

"Barca are a fantastic side, with great individual players, but the desire and the work rate got us over the winning line," Rangers midfielder Kevin Thomson after the 0-0 win!

"Almunia has not yet showed that he can win matches for us, I can't imagine he'll be able to handle that," Arsenal's German keeper Jens Lehmann blasts Manuel Almunia, who has been winning every game he played for the Gunners this season.

Lehmann again: "Kahn takes himself far too seriously and thinks he is very important, I don't like it when someone glorifies himself," is Kahn really the one who takes himself 'far too seriously?"

"You wonder whether they allow themselves to be influenced by the top four. Didn't Clattenburg go to Hong Kong with Liverpool for the Asia Cup this summer? Maybe he wants to be their friend," Everton manager David Moyes after Mark Clattenburg awarded Liverpool two penalties against his side.


"I want to leave Chelsea. Nothing can stop me from leaving now. Something is broken here, the damage in the dressing room is big because we know now what happened and who caused Mourinho's departure," Didier Drogba insisted.

One week later… "I'm giving 100 percent because I feel good. I love the fans. I think they show me the respect I deserve and this is very important," I wonder what made Drogba change his mind.


"Even Napoli supporters who were 'near me on the stands' realized those penalties shouldn’t have been given," Juventus chairman Giovanni Cobolli Gigli.

D-Day As Capello Flies In

The FA's worst kept secret at the moment is that Fabio Capello is flying in today for talks over the post of England manager.

Don Fabio will jet into London from Madrid (where he was clearing out his home) this morning, and head straight for Soho Square for a meeting with FA chief executive Brian Barwick.

There have been suggestions that the deal could be struck today itself, but the FA have been keeping their cards close to their chest.

While the 61-year-old former Milan, Roma, Juventus and Real Madrid coach has guaranteed that he will not bail out and leave them embarrassed like Luiz Felipe Scolari did, the FA have decided to play it safe and decided not to confirm anything until it is all done.

It is expected that he will be offered a two and a half year deal through to the 2010 World Cup, with his annual salary expected to be around the £4-5million mark.

He also wants to bring in Italo Galbiati as his number two. Galbiati worked with him at Milan, Roma and Real Madrid.

However, the FA will speak about also appointing an English assistant in someone like Alan Shearer, and that could be a matter of contention.

Apart from that, a report in the Daily Telegraph suggests that the captaincy issue will also crop up. Apparently certain people in the FA are unimpressed by John Terry.

Plans for the summer and a series of home internationals involving British nations will also be discussed, though Capello is more keen on a training camp during the European Championships, one he can use like a pre-season is used by clubs.

He has already received glowing praise from both Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson. However, Ruud Gullit added a note of cautious, waring the fans that they should not expect any pleasing football under Capello.

South Africa fear poor form could spoil World Cup party

December 5th, 2007, filed by Mark Gleeson

South Africa should be feeling pretty confident after passing its first big World Cup test but the uninspiring form of the national team is getting a lot of people anxious.

The 2010 World Cup organisers were given a resounding thumbs-up after the preliminary draw in Durban on November 25, the first official event ahead of a tournament that starts in some 30 months’ time.

But the enthusiasm has been clouded by growing pressure to deliver a team that will prove competitive in 2010 and provide as big a catalyst for mass public support as the South Korean side did in 2002 and the Germans achieved 18 months ago.

Danny Jordaan, the local organising committee’s chief executive officer, often voices fears that even if the 2010 event is superbly organised and proves incident free, its success will be largely judged on how big a party it becomes. Without a national team creating momentum with positive results, the whole experience might prove a damp squib.

Jordaan was the prime mover in getting Carlos Alberto Parreira to sign as South Africa coach in January. The Brazilian World Cup winner is being paid more in a month than South Africa’s president Thabo Mbeki earns in a year and the debate over his salary (US$250 000 monthly) is aired regularly, particularly when results are disappointing.

That has meant quite often of late, with South Africa dropping down to 77 in FIFA’s world rankings this year after winning just five out of 14 matches.

Admittedly there have been some stiff ties with friendlies away at world champions Italy and against Uruguay, Scotland and the United States. It is all part of Parreira’s philosophy that to prepare a side for the 2010 World Cup they have to play regularly against thee world’s best. ‘Bafana Bafana’ have a growing list of friendlies lined up against top teams over the next year, including the French and the Dutch.

Unusually for a host nation, South African will also gain further experience in competitive matches. The qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup double up as African Nations Cup qualifiers, so in order to be at Angola 2010, ‘Bafana Bafana’ must take part. That could prove to be beneficial in getting the players battle hardened.

Next month they also compete at the Nations Cup finals in Ghana. Parreira has picked a young side with the focus firmly on 2010 but while many do support his vision of calmly building before 2010, many others are impatient for success.

Adriano wins the "Bidone d’Oro"

Inter Milan troubled striker won the Worst Player award of the Serie A over the past year, "Bidone d'Oro", given by the Catersport Radio 2.

The 25-year old marksman has been struggling over the past 18 months with depression and alcoholic problems. He won 19.98% of the votes to retain his title as the biggest flop of the year.

The top 10 include four Brazilian. AC Milan keeper Dida comes second after series of awful mistakes that cost him to be dropped from Carlo Ancelotti's starting lineup.

Former World player of the year Ronaldo comes third after being sidelined with injuries since last June and his colleague at Milan Ricardo Oliveira is just a step behind him.

Here are the top 10:

1. Adriano (Inter) 19.98%
2. Nelson Dida (Milan) 10.86%
3. Ronaldo (Milan) 8.48%
4. Ricardo Oliveira (Real Zaragoza) 6.58%
5. Tiago Mendes (Juventus) 5.99%
6. Antonio Cassano (Sampdoria) 5.89%
7. Luis Jimenez (Inter) 5.52%
8. Diego Tristan (Livorno) 4.68%
9. Francesco Coco (Retired) 4.51%
10. Alberto Gilardino (Milan) 3.16%

Will Croatia be Euro 2008 dark horses?

The initial delight in Croatia over a “kind” Euro 2008 draw has given way to caution and the sense that passage into the last eight may not be so easy after all.

Still, it’s hard to resist the feeling that Slaven Bilic’s side, galvanised by the shock 3-2 win over England at Wembley, could be the tournament dark horses, after being drawn in Group B along with Germany, Poland and co-hosts Austria.

Croatia’s former coach Zlatko Kranjcar, who stepped down after the 2006 World Cup, described Austria as “a floating mine” ready to explode in their opening match against the Croats, having tipped Germany and Poland as much tougher rivals.

“However, this Croatian generation is hungry for success, both the staff and the players. What they need is a bit of luck because they certainly have the quality to go far,” he said.

Having warned his team they must take it one game at a time after appealing on the fans not to count their chickens before they are hatched, Bilic too expressed confidence that Croatia have matured into a side ready to make an impact like the one that finished third in the 1998 World Cup finals in France.

“We fear no one because we know that we are capable of holding our own against anyone,” he told Croatian media after the perfect ending to an impressive qualifying campaign.

Greece, of course, were the ultimate dark horses last time. Unfancied before the tournament, they kicked off with victory over hosts Portugal and came all the way through to repeat the trick in the final and win the tournament.

In other circumstances, Romania would be on many people’s list of the outside team to watch for 2008 but their chances have been hit by the worst possible draw, which will see them line up in Group C — take your pick on whether to call it the group of death, mayhem, destruction, aaarrrggghh or whatever – with Italy, France and the Dutch.

Who do you think could be the dark horses? Could Sweden make a bigger impact this time? Zlatan Ibrahimovic is in such good form at the moment that anything seems possible. Or what about the Swiss? They reached the knockout stage at the last World Cup and with that experience maybe a young, talented team could reach the last four. Give us your best guess in the comments below.

Zambrotta in Milan link

arcelona full-back Gianluca Zambrotta could join AC Milan when the transfer window opens in January, El Mundo Deportivo reported on Wednesday.

The Italian defender is targeting a move to Milan after growing increasingly unhappy at Nou Camp as his regular place is not guaranteed anymore.

Furthermore, the 30-year-old's wife is homesick and is keen to return to Italy.

Zambrotta, who joined Barcelona following Juventus' demotion to the Serie B for their part in the Italian match-fixing scandal, has two years left on his current deal with the Catalans.

However, Milan could make a January approach as they lack the presence of an energetic player on the flanks.

Barcelona defeat Deportivo to reclaim second spot

Barcelona came from a goal down to beat Deportivo Coruna 2-1 at Nou Camp and reclaim second spot in the Primera Liga table.

Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto'o made his long-awaited comeback after three months on the sidelines and came through unscathed.

Striker Cristian stunned the home crowd after three minutes when he unleashed a long-range drive that went into the top corner.

The poor positioning of Barca keeper Victor Valdes couldn't help him dive properly to block the swerving shot.

Brazilian playmaker Ronaldinho leveled the score four minutes before the interval, converting a penalty after Cristian brought down Andres Iniesta inside the area.

Spanish international Xavi gave the Catalans all three points in the 70th minute when he notched home on the rebound's after Carles Puyol's cross was poorly palmed by the keeper.

Barcelona are second in the league table with 31 points, four adrift of leaders Real Madrid. Struggling Deportivo lie second from bottom on just 13 points.

Barca Vs. Deportivo HIGHLIGHTS:

Arsenal suffered their first Premier League defeat of the season

Arsenal suffered their first Premier League defeat of the season when they went down 2-1 at Middlesbrough on Sunday.

Arsène Wenger’s side were trailing after only three minutes when Kolo Toure was adjudged to have brought down Jeremie Aliadiere and Stewart Downing scored from the spot. The points were sealed 17 minutes from time when Tuncay squeezed in a shot at the near post after Manuel Almunia had saved from Gary O’Neil. Tomas Rosicky’s goal with the final kick of the match mattered little as the visitors were well-beaten on the day.

The previous evening, Liverpool had lost their unbeaten Premier League record in surprising fashion at Reading. Few suspected that Arsenal, the last team not to have tasted defeat, would follow suit at Gareth Southgate’s struggling side. The visitors were unbeaten in domestic football for over eight months.

However, this was one of those rare occasions when Wenger’s men never found their feet and never truly threatened the opposing goal. Middlesbrough were more urgent and more enterprising. They deserved their three points.

Still, a glance at the Premier League table remains an uplifting one for any Arsenal fan. They are still top, albeit now by only one point.

This was a defeat, not a disaster. The key now is to move on.

Wenger made only one change in his entire 16 for this quickfire return to the North-East. Philippe Senderos replaced Alex Song on the bench. Otherwise the two new partnerships forged at St James’ Park in midweek were retained — Gilberto and Lassana Diarra in central midfield, Eduardo and Emmanuel Adebayor up front.

Middlesbrough came into this game in the relegation zone while Arsenal were looking to restore their lead in the Premier League to four points. On paper it seemed a straight-forward task for Wenger’s men however it was worth remembering this was the fourth in a quartet of draining away trips over the course of the last 12 days. They were also lacking Cesc Fabregas (hamstring), Alex Hleb (Achilles), Abou Diaby (back), Mathieu Flamini (thigh) and Robin van Persie (knee). It would not be easy.

That was illustrated in the starkest terms after three minutes when Aliadiere was sent sprinting through with Toure in pursuit. Despite the fact the Frenchman’s run was angled across goal Manuel Almunia elected to come out to meet the ball. But before he had got there, Toure’s stretched out a leg and clipped the former Arsenal striker. His old side bitterly disputed the penalty decision from referee Howard Webb but Downing stepped up to drive the ball past Almunia.

Before the game, Wenger had said Middlesbrough’s performances had been better than their results. With the confidence of a surprise lead, they set about making up for lost time.

Aliadiere worried Gallas into turning a weak clearance into the path of Tuncay but the French defender recovered to charge down his shot.

In the 18th minute only Toure’s flicked header stopped O’Neil’s drifting cross reaching the lurking Aliadiere at the far post.

To this point Middlesbrough were the better side. When Rosicky registered a weak shot across the face of goal in the 22nd minute it represented the visitors’ first genuine effort on goal. And even then rookie keeper Ross Turnbull was hardly worried.

Unusually Arsenal were looking to hit the ball long. But just past the half-hour, they started the stir.

Toure’s free-kick was charged down and a minute later, as the visitors sustained pressure for the first time in the game, the Ivorian found himself with no support on the left flank. He decided to foray forward on his own. He exchanged passes with Adebayor on the edge of the area but was flagged offside as he bundled through.

In the 34th minute, Arsenal created their first clear chance. Eboue hoisted a free-kick to the far post and Adebayor, as he had in scoring at Aston Villa, climbed high above the home defence. His header was powerful and directed downwards however it only flicked the sidenetting.

It seemed Arsenal were starting to turn the screw. However Middlesbrough rallied just before the break. Tuncay escaped to the right-hand byline but Almunia cut out his low cross. Seconds later the Turkish international hacked an effort horribly wide.

Nicklas Bendtner replaced Eduardo at the interval. It was an understandable move as the Croatian had struggled to make an impression.

However, early on, there was little difference in the balance of play. Within a couple of minutes, Aliadiere sent Tuncay clear with a cute angled ball through. He effort beat Almunia but his shot trickled past the post. A major miss.

Then, after Toure was harshly booked for hauling down Aliadiere, David Wheater hammered a drive goalwards from the edge of the area. Fortunately for Arsenal it hit the iron-plated chest of Toure.

On the hour, a flowing Middlesbrough move ended with George Boateng thumping a rasping effort just wide. Immediately, Wenger threw on Theo Walcott for Eboue and Denilson for Diarra. The sweeping changes were an indication of his concern.

Arsenal did respond but they could not force a decent save from Turnbull. It has been the story of the game for them.

With 17th minutes left, Middlesbrough got their second. O’Neil met a corner with a low drive through a crowded area, Almunia dived low to his left to push the ball aside. It seemed safe but Tuncay pounced and arrowed his shot high into the net at the near post.

It sucked the life out of Arsenal. Rosicky drove past Turnbull deep into injury-time but, by then, the points had long since gone.

Kaka....kaka...kaka !!!

AC Milan's Brazilian star Kaka has been named Europe's

footballer of the year after winning France Football magazine's Golden Ball award.

The 25-year-old was the key figure in AC Milan's triumphant Champions League campaign this year.

"This is very special for me - it culminates an astonishing year for me," Kaka said.

Second place went to Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo with Barcelona's Lionel Messi placing third.

The prize was voted for by 96 international journalists from a shortlist of 50 players.

Kaka succeeds Italy's World Cup winning captain and defender Fabio Cannavaro and comes two years after the last Brazilian winner of the trophy, Barcelona's Ronaldinho.

The Brazilian playmaker was hugely influential in Milan winning the 2007 Champions League, ending as top scorer in the tournament with 10 goals.

"It's the top prize around and the only way to win something like this is to play for a team like AC Milan," he said.

"It's great to be part of a team that wins.

"I won the Champions League and was the competition's top scorer. That's what made the difference with the others.

"That is the key. You have to play in a winning team."

In October Kaka was named FIFPro world player of the year, claiming that accolade after 45,000 members of the players' union voted in the awards.

Kaka is also the favourite to win the World Footballer of the Year award from football's governing body FIFA later this month.

Platini says England should have English coach

LONDON, Nov 27 (reuters) - UEFA president Michel Platini believes an Englishman should be the new coach of England and that Premier League clubs should have more home-grown talent.
Debate about the state of English football has raged since a 3-2 defeat by Croatia last week knocked England out of Euro 2008 and cost coach Steve McClaren his job.
The Football Association has said nationality will not be an issue in recruiting a new coach.
"England is such a strong country that they have to take an Englishman," Platini was quoted as saying in British newspapers on Tuesday. "It's your national team and an English coach is better. English coaches need to be given more chances.
"If I am looking for the manager of England, I would try to find a good English guy who everybody trusts to make a good team. You have good players."
Platini said until leading English clubs start to use more English players the national side would be at a disadvantage.
"If you do not have so many players what can you do? There are 95 registered Brazilian players in the Champions League, 94 French players and 45 English players," he said.
"When you have twice as few players as other countries it is difficult. I like your football, I like the fans and the passion, but I don't like the fact that it is too open (to foreigners).
"English football is ultra-liberal and it's not so good for me. Many people are coming into your league. You sell your clubs to foreign people.
"It is my philosophy to protect the identity of the clubs and the country. Manchester United against Liverpool should be with players from Manchester and Liverpool, from that region.
"In Arsenal now you don't have an English coach, English players, maybe not an English president soon."
Platini said UEFA was powerless to intervene but said politicians and the Football Association should push for stronger regulations on foreign players. (Reporting by Martyn Herman; Editing by Miles Evans)

The HAKA....OMG!!
