The Run of Play - Attacking Football /* */  The Run of Play Attacking Football RSS Feed Contact Links About Home  Uruguayan Fans Brawl on Pitch After Danubio Beats Nacional by Brian Phillips on November 18, 2008 Comments (2) They've suspended the league indefinitely. Apparently what prompted the brawl was a pitch invasion by a group of Nacional supporters, who managed to steal a flag from a group of Danubio supporters, which led to the scenes depicted above and provided yet one more dish in our decade's rich banquet of opportunities for the Flash video audience to watch people hit one another with iron bars. No one was reported injured. "Enjoy". Andrei Arshavin's Highly Inclusive Dreams by Brian Phillips on November 18, 2008 Comments (0) I know it seems like he's sent this signal to several different clubs. But I think it's safe to say at this point that when Arshavin declares, "My dream is to play for Tottenham," or "My dream is to play for Bayern," what we should be hearing is, "I will faithfully and to their own specifications mow the lawn of anyone who can get me out of Russia." The Catania Pants-Pulling-Down Goal…Revealed by Brian Phillips on November 18, 2008 Comments (3) I linked to this in the Meanwhile section yesterday, but here's fresh video evidence of the Catania free-kick during which their players dropped their shorts in order to distract the goalkeeper while they scored. It's subtler than you might expect from a coordinated goalie-mooning, but the compiler of the video has helpfully drawn a red circle around the relevant parts of the screen. And also piped in the theme music from Ghostbusters. There's a lot I don't understand about Italy.[via Italy Offside] Inconclusive Evidence of the Efficacy of Prayer Watch, Part I by Brian Phillips on November 17, 2008 Comments (1) Modena have now won one and lost one since they had a monk perform an exorcism on their dressing room. They're off the bottom in Serie B. Stay tuned. England Squad Decimated by Lethal Epidemic of Something That Definitely Does Exist by Brian Phillips on November 17, 2008 Comments (1) Following the wave of dire and not at all made-up injuries that's befallen many of England's biggest stars at the precisely the right moment to enable them to withdraw from Wednesday's friendly against Germany without having to miss their last club match, Robbo Robson predicts the next round of last-minute cuts from the squad:Theo Walcott (his dog's poorly); Joleon Lescott (certified hopeless); Gabby Agbonlahor (cheese allergy); Gareth Barry (needs to take a jumper back to M and S cos his Mum bought him the wrong size); Jermain Defoe (he's got a Pilates course Wednesday night) Ashley Young (eye test); David Bentley (brylcreem removal). . . .Don't forget Michael Carrick, who's feeling really down about the Star Wars prequels, or Jimmy Bullard, who was overexposed to the credit derivative swap market.Fortunately for Fabio Capello, while Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand, Wes Brown, Ashley Cole, Joe Cole, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, and Emile Heskey may be out, Darren Anderton is 100% available. The Death of the Idea of Chelsea by Brian Phillips on November 17, 2008 Comments (11)  What killed it? The Anelka signing, the loss of José Mourinho, the breakup of the G-14, the loss of Avram Grant, the arrival of first Thaksin Shinawatra and then the royal family of Abu Dhabi at Manchester City, and the global credit crisis. It wasn't the resurgence of Manchester United, although the Glazers' business model and the cult of Alex Ferguson both offered meaningful alternatives, and although the Champions League final in Moscow last year may go down as the idea's final, fatal moment.It wasn't the resurgence of Manchester United that killed the idea of Chelsea, because the idea of Chelsea was never just about winning. It was about winning in a certain style. It was the idea of the new football club, surrounded by, hated by, and triumphing over old football clubs too slow to adapt to its vision. It was the idea of the decentralized, geographically liberated club free to take players from anywhere, to draw fans from anywhere, to use the immensity of the world economy as a tool to make history irrelevant. Chelsea weren't the first team to exist more on television than in real life, but they were the first team to make real life seem unnecessary. More» Ryan Babel's Rap Career Is Embarrassing, But Not Like This by Brian Phillips on November 17, 2008 Comments (2) There are a lot of reasons to read Daniel Taylor's profile of Ryan Babel in the Guardian: the look inside Amsterdam's crime-ridden Bijlmermeer, the subtle evocation of Babel's uneasy marriage of gentleness and unpredictability. But anyone who's seen the videos of Babel rapping that have circulated online will probably want to take this passage with a grain of salt:Babel has a studio at home and has put out a number of records under the name Rio, including one collaboration with his Holland international team-mate Royston Drenthe. His lyrics could make Eminem blush - sample: "you can see this nigga with number 19/I can't even spend all my money/keep your daughter inside or you will be my family".Somehow I think Eminem could stand it. Roma 1 - 0 Lazio: Lazio's Cloth, Júlio Baptista's Scissors by Brian Phillips on November 16, 2008 Comments (7)  I've seen more intense derbies in my life, and so, I'm prepared to concede, has John Arne Riise. Who did, however, get a good view of this one from the bench. And it could be that watching Max Tonetto take over your spot is more intense than I realize.Still, this was a dug-in, chips-flying sort of game, and it felt like watching a child carve hunks out of a school desk with a spoon. Júlio Baptista's repeated goings to ground must have rattled the pope's crockery (and not just the encyclicals). And when that big, eager, Vertigo-zoom of a header finally went in, I think a few fourteenth-century doctrines about Purgatory might have been clattered briefly back into existence. More» Ajax 4 - 1 PSV: There But for the Grace of Deciding Not to Set My Alarm Clock by Brian Phillips on November 16, 2008 Comments (2) Not a good day for the Huub. Sadly, as I vaguely predicted, I slept through it. Arsenal 0 - 2 Aston Villa: Agbonlahor Leaps In by Brian Phillips on November 15, 2008 Comments (5) The addition of a tiny talismanic braided rat-tail to the back of Nicklas Bendtner's neck successfully made him look like a minor forest hobbit but had no effect on Arsenal's inability to stop the repeated pillaging of their ground by an Aston Villa side that played like they wanted someone to compare them to Arsenal.The first half was largely an unbroken montage of Manuel Almunia hitting the ground at full stretch, the ball bubbling away from him, and Gallas sending it into the crowd at a velocity that would in all likelihood be considered felonious if he were African and a football were legal tender.In the second half Arsenal began building slow attacks and briefly looked as though they might reclaim their mantle as "the team that passes the ball around deftly without actually scoring," which Villa were threatening to usurp. But then Gaël Clichy headed the ball into his own net, and then Agbonlahor raced down the pitch to score on a million-yard pass, and Arsenal were reduced to being a team with an outstanding chance of winning the Carling Cup. Carlos Vela came on, as if to make the point.Gareth Barry has an amazing quality of seeming to contain twice the normal mass for a person his size without actually being any larger. Fabregas has a bit of that, too. Is that command of midfield, or just strong jaw muscles? « Older Archives « Select... » November 2008 October 2008 September 2008 August 2008 July 2008 June 2008 May 2008 April 2008 March 2008 February 2008 January 2008 December 2007 November 2007 October 2007 The Catania Pants-Pulling-Down Goal…Revealed3 CommentsUruguayan Fans Brawl on Pitch After Danubio Beats Nacional2 CommentsRoma 1 - 0 Lazio: Lazio's Cloth, Júlio Baptista's Scissors7 CommentsEngland Squad Decimated by Lethal Epidemic of Something That Definitely Does Exist1 CommentThe Death of the Idea of Chelsea11 Comments The Catania Pants-Pulling-Down Goal...Revealed Guest Post: A Night in Port-of-Spain Confessions of a Guardian Football Weekly Podcast Addict Tottenham Reveal Slightly More Plausible-Seeming Plans for the New White Hart Lane Uruguayan Fans Brawl on Pitch After Danubio Beats Nacional with an assist from Bodybuilding Supplements Fa Cup Tickets Sports Polls & Sports Rankings Sport Sound Effects SOCCER Tickets Los Angeles Galaxy Tickets Oscars Party Supplies bar stools SoccerPro.com has a great variety of Soccer Balls and Soccer Equipment for soccer fans of all ages.
