Albania

Albania suspended by FIFA!!!

fshf.gifWell the news that no one wanted to hear, but everyone knew was coming, is here. The Albanian Football Federation has been suspended by FIFA due to “heavy political interference”. The bad news just keep coming, and it seems that they wont stop anytime soon. With new head coach ready to make his debut, it seems like that will have to be postponed. Arie Haan will have to wait even longer for his first game as the head coach of Albania, and by the time he will have a chance to coach Albania, he might miss half of his players, due to Kosovo’s Independence.

It has been a downhill jurney for Albania so far! Just as the team started to get better, and the hopes of the ‘Tifozat Kuq e Zi’, Red and Black Fans, were on the rise, FIFA and the Albanian Government had to pull this stunt on us. The fans are hoping for a speedy resolution! As of right now, we dont even know if the league will continue to operate? And with the fight for the championship heating up between city rivals Partizani and Dinamo, we might have to wait even longer for their final meeting.

Again, lets hope for a speedy resolution, so we can see how the national team will compare to that of C.Ronaldo’s Portugal, and Z.Ibrahimovic’s Sweden for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Torching Burnt Bridges With Samir Nasri

Cripes, Manchester City's all over the place these days. One supposes with that ending they're allowed to be. Also: money's compelling. Don't ever think otherwise.

The Charging Wolves Fan

Who knew Wolves - Wigan would have the best scene of the EPL weekend? Some bolder than thou Wolves fan sauntered into a March of the Cantaloupes and charged scores of Wigan fans. Presumably he had a decent reason. Or was reasonably sauced. One of those. Even better, all the ...

Carlos Tevez v Fergie: The Title Celebration

Felipe Melo Finds His Fire Hydrant

For no apparent reason, the canine urination celebration is taking hold of Europe. Or it's happened twice off the top of my head, which is far too many and certainly deserving of pandemic status. The first was Zenit's Danny, merely celebrating a goal. Now Felipe Melo was so excited by ...

Joey Barton Being Joey Barton

Yesterday, preceding one of the most astonishing league finales ever to be seen in our lifetimes, a more commonplace phenomenon was observed: Joey Barton.

The Stop-Motion England Introduction

This is both wonderful and a wonderful departure from the standard footballing related videos you'll find on the YouTube. Even better, however, is that it's apparently part of a small series of videos, this one for England while the rest deal with the domestic game and specifically, Crystal Palace. The ...

Freddie Ljungberg Pays The Price Of Bikini Fame

Freddie's lived the dreams of every professional footballer. Well, he got to play for Arsenal for a long time anyway - what follows thereafter is a world tour of twilight and glancing eyes on catwalks. But still, the man got to be a Calvin Klein model, ascending to a plateau ...

Photo: Juventus Can Count Higher Than You

Juventus won the scudetto this past weekend, and deservedly so as they were the best team in the peninsula this year. Sometimes, that's just how it works. In celebration, they're hoisting all sorts of glittered beacons of success, including the scudetto tally for their brand new stadium. Slight problem, however. ...
