L’Équipe’s Best XI Soccer Players of 2008
Posted by arthur 3 days ago (source: http://feeds.feedburner.com)

Tags: lquipes xi soccer players
It’s that time of the year again. With the days fast approaching December 31, awards for the “Best XI” of 2008 are being handed left and right. The biggest one (at least as far as us Europeans are concerned) probably being UEFA’s Team of the Year (voting is still open on uefa.com here).While we wait for the UEFA popular vote (winners announced in January), let’s have a look at what the main sports newspaper in France has in store for us this year. Here’s L’Équipe’s All-Star XI Football Players for 2008. And once again, don’t be surprised if Premiership elements are leading the way and Serie A is snubbed…Firstly, a point should be made that this year there were two “Best XI” selections: the first one made by L’Équipe’s journalists, and the second one voted online by users on the paper’s official website. Differences between the two formations abound, but one striking similarity is that there’s a large majority of players from the EPL (6/4, i.e. six in the journalist vote and four in the popular vote). The Spanish Liga is right behind with 4/4, shortly followed by the Italian Serie A (2/1) and the Bundesliga (0/2).Another noteworthy point: seven of the players selected are European champions, in one form or another (four with Man Utd, three with Spain).Note that only six players were selected in both formations (Casillas, D.Alves, R.Ferdinand, Messi, Gerrard, and C-Ron), and the onl read more

Dreams and reality

Top first half-season facts: The Meyer effect remains on hold. Gladbach ended on a run of four straight defeats. Borussia have conceded the most goals (35) - more than two per game. Gladbach have committed the most fouls (371) and received the second-highest number of yellow cards (42). Perpetual rotation: the club from the Lower Rhine has deployed the most players (28). The Foals have had to chase the game more often than any other club (14 times) and have only been able to fight back for a draw twice.Gregor Nentwig / translation Angus Davison read more

Rumors & Realities: January's Back!

Tags: rumors realities januarys back
It is January again and Rumors & Realities stood drowsy and drunk just like a Juande Ramos on any day at White Hart Lane and shouted "open sesame" for the transfer window as the clock hit 12 on New Year's eve.Big News One: It is January again! But that is easy-to-get news—unless you don't have a calendar at home.But the real big news is that Arsene Wenger is being touted as the favorite to resolve the drunken decision of appointing Juande Ramos at Real Madrid at the end of the season.Will Arsene Wenger quit The Gunners after 12-and-a half years of success? It remains to be seen, but with a reported offer of £25million contract, Wenger should really consider starting to love cash. If it were Wenger, R-R would move on.Jermaine Pennant is a wanted man-and not only to warm the benches at Anfield. Pennant is a January target for Real Madrid, Wigan and now, Hull City!Hull manager Phil Brown is ready to take Pennant permanently—if the price is right. The Hull bids should start from pennies to £3m.With crazy news being thrown around, it really does feel like January!According to crazy reports R-R keeps getting, Michael Owen is an Inter target. Knowing Mourinho, the Portuguese manager is unlikely to want a Kezman-like figure with a Ronaldo-like history with injuries.The Mirror says Liverpool are ready to cut their losses on Andrea Do read more

Manchester United's New Serbian Talent: Zoran Tosic

Tags: manchester uniteds serbian talent zoran tosic
Manchester United confirmed the signings of two young Serbian talents on Friday Jan. 2; 17-year old Adem Ljajic and 21-year old Zoran Tosic from FK Partizan Belgrade, in a deal eventually worth a reported £16.3million.Ljajic was loaned back out to Partizan for their upcoming 2009 season on a 12-month loan deal in order to get the valuable first-team experience he needs.On the other hand, Tosic will stay at Old Trafford, with the 21-year old left-sided winger likely to be given the opportunities he needs to impress in the EPL.As Ljajic moves back to Serbia for a while, I'll take a closer look at the other young Serb who is staying in Manchester.Zoran Tosic started his professional footballing career in 2004, with local club Proleter Zrenjanin, where he scored 4 goals in 16 first-team appearances for the Second Division side. But after their relegation to Serbia's third division, Proleter could no longer afford to keep hold of their prized asset, and were forced to sell him in the 2005/06 season, to local rivals FK Banat Zrenjanin, who play in the Serbia Superliga, the top league in the country.At FK Banat, his performances in the league caught the eye of the Serbia U-21's, and at 19 years of age he became a regular in the side. But that's not all he caught the eye of.Europe's elite became interested in the young star, after he showed off all his talent and skill in 35 appearances for Banat, scoring two crucial goals that read more
