Amr Zaki has astonishingly claimed that he will not consider signing for Portsmouth on the grounds that they employ two Israelis - Tal Ben Haim and Avram Grant - as well as an Algerian in the form of Nadir Belhadj. Zamalek striker Zaki, who impressed in the first half of the 2008-09 season...

Khamis Cracker Wins It For Sydney A BRILLIANT strike by Sydney FC's Leena Khamis was enough to give a dominant Sky Blues side the three points against a 10-woman Newcastle Jets at Seymour Shaw Park on Saturday. The lively forward's 24th-minute goal was ample reward for an impressive Sydney FC...

Hi Djurgardens, give my regards to the self-haters in the Superettan next year.

http://www.theworldgame.com.au/spain/cruyff-to-coach-catalonia-side-252456 If I was a top footballer/coach, the first thing I'd do is gather the best Assyrian players & coaches and form an Assyrian national team.  The self-haters already have one for God's sake.

Ya, looks like we're going to be playing Djurgardens.

No, technically they didn't.  In one of the Derby games, the cheating self-haters used four non-eligible players.  The Swedish Football Association Disciplinary Committee later awarded a 3-0 win to Assyriska. Read about it here and here while the eventual decision in its entirety can be read here.

Am I the only one who is going to delight in seeing Portugal (that is, C.Ronaldo) miss out on the World Cup next year?  .....lolz, I initially posted this in the Assyriska section.  Silly me.
