That's what I said and I got laughed out of the CAF. Now look at my name tag. :p Meant to say Harry at the time...must have been booze.

Scholes converted from forward to midfielder. Why can't Rooney do it?

Studs would have been at the same height if Nani wasn't leaping for the ball. To control it, both players had to jump. Was Nani reckless? Yes. Was he excessive? Far from it.

Definition of a challenge is "to enter in competition with or opposition against." I would define a challenge in football terms as a 50/50 ball where neither player has clear possession.

Not sure if this has been posted, but this quote was taken from the FIFA laws of the game: "Serious foul play A player is guilty of serious foul play if he uses excessive force or brutality against an opponent when challenging for the ball when it is in play. A tackle that endangers the...

Welbeck's end product is what is so frustrating. He has the touch and pace to get in good positions, but his finishing, especially on one-on-one situations, is appalling. I thought leaving Kagawa on and subbing Welbeck for Rooney would have been a better option, but of course Ferguson probably...

First touch...among other things.

What FFP potentially does is preserve the integrity of domestic and European competition. You are right that some money will trickle down to the smaller clubs, but another consequence is that those same clubs will have to either enter the capital markets or be saddled with larger amounts of...

For the past couple of days, whenever I try to surf Redcafe with Google Chrome, I get a "Website is under maintenance" message. I noticed it started happening after the last server outage. Could it be a mod issue?

I still don't understand how teams like Chelsea and City are going to be able to sign top players once FFP is enforced. Chelsea will never come close to bein the biggest club if they can only spend profits.

But wouldn't you say his party lifestyle contributed to his innovation on the pitch? Footballers who party end up wasting away by the time they're 32, and in Ronaldinho's case, I think he got the best out of the years he was given.
