Wednesday Football Crossbars - August 25, 2010

North America

Toronto FC played last night in Panama and some might say that the refereeing was somewhat shady


Columbus Crew were also in action in the CCL group stages against Santos of Mexico and again, sense a theme here, the refereeing was horrible

Asmir Begovic, of Canadian Owen Hargrave style fame, refused to play for Stoke City last night, and is looking to engineer a move to Chelsea

Europe

Roy Hudson is bringing Paul Konchesky from Fulham to help solve his leftback issue

Bebe, Manchester United's mystery signing from Portugal, isn't really that good

Jose Mourinho has opened his mouth again and it is absolutely fabulous as he touches on Stevie G, Fabio and why he is still the 'Special One'

Champions League

If anyone was able to watch the Sampdoria - Werder Bremen qualifying game last night, it was absolutely fantastic and a great advert for Champions League football

Jermaine Defoe is going to postpone a groin operation in order to play in tonight's game as Young Boys of Switzerland

Braga of Portugal pulled the shock of the round so far as they eliminated Sevilla in large part due to substitute Lima's hat trick

North Korea

It turns out that North Korea did nothing wrong, according to FIFA; I wonder how long the investigation was, 5-10 minutes is my guess

Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz took part in a charity soccer game Monday afternoon with city councillors and immigrant youth. It was going well until he smoked a kid in the face with his foot. That’s kind of frowned upon in the soccer community.
