Matchday Pass: Ghana
Date: Sunday, 17 May 2009
Kickoff: 1500hrs (subject to change)
Bechem Chelsea v All Blacks
Having dropped from their previous second placing, the Bechem boys look for another three points. All Blacks come to this game on a psychological low after a defeat to Wa All Stars. There’s only one word on their minds: win!
All Stars v Kessben [...]

Matchday Pass: Ghana: Mirren v Faisal
Venue: Ohene Djan stadium, Accra
Kickoff: 1500hrs
Sporting Mirren and their boss Talal Fattal should not be a happy club. Between owning the rights to showing Glo Premier League games on his Metro TV channel and having to see his teams falter consistently, the Lebanese man must be having nightmares.
Mirren face a King Faisal team that has [...]

Standings after week 18 matches for the Glo premier league
GPL: Week 18 reviews
Kotoko slip – again, Wise get a healthy draw and AshGold scrape through for a vital win. Here’s all the reviews and results for Glo Premier league week 18.
Matchday Pass: Ghana
The hype building around the matches today is unbelievable. I am impressed, really.
What is happening is that Hearts of Oak is playing Eleven Wise while Kotoko faces Berekum Arsenals in the Brong Ahafo region. These are the top, top liners.
And here are the previews for those and other soon-to-be-played games.
World Cup Moments: Das Wunder von Bern, 1954
It may surprise the casual fan or those new to the sport to learn that Hungary were once, bar none, the greatest team in all the lands. In fact the Aranycsapat - the Magnificent, Magical, Marvellous or Mighty Magyars - still reign as a team of such hushed majestic legend you wonder if they existed in reality at all. They were tactical revolutionaries, the brainchildren behind Brazil's dash to prominence and much of the modern game in general, and football's unparalleled juggernaut; within a frame of six years, they lost one solitary football game.
That one game happened to be the 1954 World Cup final, Das Wunder von Berne (The Miracle of Bern). [read more]
World Cup 2010 Jerseys: France
Today we're taking a look at the home and away jerseys of France, as modelled by Karim Benzema to the left there.
All World Cup 2010 jerseys are available to see and buy in our World Cup 2010 store, but the idea here is that we take an honest and semi-critical look at the home and away shirts of all 32 teams at World Cup 2010. Remember, everything below is just personal opinion / kneejerk reaction and I've got no fashion credentials other than accidentally seeing about four episodes of Project Runway. So whether you agree of disagree I'd love to get your reaction to these shirts in the comments. [read more]
World Cup Moments: David Beckham's Red Card vs Argentina in 1998
Because today is David Beckham's much talked about return to Old Trafford, it seems the perfect time to relive one of the key moments in Beckham's career. At World Cup 1998 the man not yet known as Goldenballs was just 23 years old and competing with Darren Anderton to play right wing back for England. After scoring a trademark free kick vs Colombia in the group stage, Beckham was given the start for the Second Round knockout game vs Argentina. But then it all went a bit wrong. [read more]
World Cup 2010 Jerseys: South Africa
Almost all the team jerseys for World Cup 2010 have now been revealed, and are available to buy from our World Cup 2010 jersey store. Based on what we've seen so far, I'm reasonably impressed. There aren't nearly as many templated designs as expected, and the retro look seems to be very much in.
So starting today we're going to cast a close critical eye at each nation's World Cup 2010 home and away shirts and other attire. We'll do so honestly and semi-respectfully and without any of the technical guff about moisture wicking. Whatever that is. We'll go group by group, and so first up is your World Cup host South Africa, from Group A. [read more]
