• Tottenham fall short of repeating biggest margin record • Wigan equal mark for most goals conceded in a game In scoring five times against Wigan, the Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe tied a Premier League record held by Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole. Shearer put five past Sheffield Wednesday playing for Newcastle in September 1999 and Cole did the same for Manchester United against Ipswich...

The draw for the 2012 Euro’s in Poland and Ukraine will not be held until February 2010, but UEFA has already conformed the seeds for the draw. With the Republic of Ireland, Scotland and Northern Ireland all in Pot Three, the likelihood of England drawing one of them is 38%. We could also see a repeat of the World-Cup playoffs games between the Republic of Ireland and France. Euro 2012 qualifying...

If you haven't noticed, just about every foreign sales post we do somehow references football (or, as our primitive North American minds have designated it, soccer) -- including the post you're reading right this hot second . The terrifically named, PSP-exclusive J. LEAGUE Football Club Tsukurou! 6 Pride of J took top honors in the Japanese charts this week, pushing the portable platform to a first-place...

I'm sure a lot of you are feeling the same way he is. Here's what...

In what seems like a shocking move these days, I completed a book that i read for pleasure, Why England Lose by Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski. The book is an attempt to apply some of the principles of the book, Moneyball by Michael Lewis, (a book which made our top 7 books of 2007 with the review that it's 'A fascinating, highly entertaining but flawed business book about baseball. It is dripping...

You may want to put down your owls before reading this post.... As you've probably figured out, I'm the third and final weekend editor to make a debut post here on BCB. You may know me from my many comments and parenthetical remarks. My weekend mugs are tea, preferably lychee-flavored, to keep me awake while I finish this post full o' links. The Arizona Fall League season is over and the Peoria Javelinas...

Reading manager Brendan Rodgers watched his side claim their first home win since January, as the Royals beat Blackpool 2-1, and then proclaimed that the feeling was like "winning the World Cup". While Rodgers may have to stretch his imagination to empathise with those who have reached football's pinnacle, that the Royals had not tasted success at the Madejski Stadium since 27 January –...

First : Stop reading here (but come back after!) and check out my late-breaking Teblog guest-post over at Yahoo's Dr. Saturday college football blog, about the most important context for today's Florida game: Life AFTER Tebow . (Believe it or not, Florida's annual cupcake game in mid-November has been marked by really notable events: Tebow's breakout in 2006, Tebow going "20/20" in 2007 and...

Like most people I have a set of tabs that open in Firefox when I log on and the first one I generally look at is the Guardian Football homepage . Finally it seems that the stories on "that handball" are either reducing in numbers or, at the very least, disappearing slowly down the page. One of the truly annoying things about the blogs and comment pages is that certain people seem to think...

So this is what it comes down to after: hundreds of games, tears, fears, and anger. Boredom, crappy internet feeds, reading thousands of blog posts, pictures, drama in the stands, cheering, cursing, giving the one finger salutes, yelling at homer announcers, and listening to podcasts; you’re head is full of MLS, and that’s just fine because Sunday we’ve got the final, and then you...

I'm reading a book about soccer at the moment (more another time). En passant I've noticed one or two little known soccer facts. #1 Did you know that Ryan Giggs dad is a black man? Danny Wilson, a Welsh man with West African (?) roots, was a rugby league player. It's also worth noting that Giggs has played in every Premier League season so far, scoring at least once in each season but fior the present...
