Baros (and Portsmouth) v. Manchester United

By: Os Davis | January 29th, 2008 | No Comments »

The most media attracted by a Czech footballer today? Easy: That’d be Milan Baros, who is widely expected to play tomorrow night for Portsmouth at Manchester United since his transfer from Olympique Lyon was completed on Monday.

Those of y’all lucky enough to be able to see it (Here in Magyarország, some hyper-expensive cable company owns the rights to the Premiership. This writer can still see it on slightly illegal IPTV, but this grousing is utterly justified, believe me), the game kicks off at 20.00 GMT.

For quickies on this story, check out:

Baros will play because David Nugent and Benjani Mwaruwari are injured.

Harry Redknapp reckons he’s pulled off a “coup.”

Simply put, “Baros happy to be back” in the Premiership. (This one ran everywhere.)

The Agent speaks.

Meanwhile, Olympique Lyon remains atop the table…

Cheers!

On some of CEE’s all-time greats

Anyone else following the all-time great player nominations going on at UEFA.com? For each nation runs a photo and bio of that country’s top player ever, as determined by local governing bodies. “To help mark UEFA’s jubilee, each national association was asked to nominate its most outstanding player of the last 50 years.”
I figure I’d throw in my two eurocents ... [read]

And now for something completely different

By: Os Davis | January 1st, 2008 | 1 Comment »

Pretty much utterly unrelated to futball, but i still wanted to pass along a New York Times piece, the sort of thing that makes American ‘papers when the sports news flow is low.
Imagine getting to travel the world photographing stuff like cheese-rolling in Summerbee.
As for this writer’s weird world of sports, i’m still digging on Pesapallo.
A proper post later today.

Whoa, Cech is in after all;

By: Os Davis | December 26th, 2007 | 1 Comment »

Whoa, Petr Cech is in after all; by now, he may be wishing he’d rested up a bit. And while Czech backers must be a bit embarrassed and Blues fans a bit stressed, o boy is Shaun Maloney happy.
Not even a fan of either team, i’m still having cardiac arrest. My slacking, work-dodging gluteus maximus has been on the edge ... [read]
