> several people state USSR is a soccer power.

When did this happen? What has the USSR ever won in soccer?
I stated in my original note that the first time I am aware of the soccer
powers taking note and complimenting the Russian game was at the 86 world
cup. The emergence of the USSR as a competitive soccer entity occured in
the mid to late 80s as best I can determine.

"The First Football Match"???????? or something like that.

During last winter (English summer), the TV channel that normally shows English
Division 1 highlights (we get them on the Monday after the games are played -
saw that cracking game between Tottenham and Villa last night!!! - but I
digress) showed a Series called "THE MANAGERESS". A woman brought up on 
Football by her former Italian Div 1 playing father, becomes Manager(ess) of an
average (as in, not very good) English second division side, and turns them
into a Football powerhouse. The series ended with the team playing for
promotion to the first division. 

It was an excellent series. Did anyone else see it?

Have they made a second series?

Cheers.

So was I, but for some reason, they decided to show the America's Cup
instead. I checked the local listings, and I was hoping that perhaps
they'd show the game in the evening. When I turned on the TV, I saw
a program note saying that the game would be on at 12:30am! I was
looking forward to watching the game, but I had to come in early the
next day, so staying up until 2:30am was out of the question. I'm
still annoyed at the fact that they delayed a live broadcast by 8.5
hours. I guess that there are more America's Cup fans than soccer
fans; or perhaps they're more "noisy".

I've been meaning to write to TSN to express my disappointment
with the decline in soccer coverage over the past few years. A few
years back, they showed the Cup Winners' Cup and European Champions'
Cup final live, and regularly showed Libertadores Cup highlights, as
well as highlights from other games in Africa and Asia. Now it seems
that they only cover English and Scottish soccer with a few German
highlights thrown in for good measure... :-/

Good stuff!

That's bad news. He's really a key player in the Canadian attack. He'll
surely be missed. Let's hope that Canada doesn't get shelled to badly
in their away games...

Nuernberg 1-2. This causes a new team on #1 tomorrow, when Frankfurt 
plays Stuttgart. A tie will cause Borussia to drop on #3. Let's see, what

I can't speak for Man U's recent form, but its not bad. Forest's last
eight matches have produced 5 victories, 1 drawn and 2 defeats (all in
28 days) Forest have a number of injury problems, with Stuart Pearce
being the biggest doubt having had keyhole surgery to his left knee on
Tues 31st March and only having the stiches out on Tues 7th April. 
Walker, Sheringham, Keane, and Wassall are all carrying knocks, and
Chettle and Charles are doubtful. Forest had to recall on-loan left back
Brett Williams from Oxford United to play in the last two matches. My
guess at Forest's line-up is as follows:
Andy Marriott, Brian Laws, Brett Williams (or Pearce), Des Walker, Darren
Wassall, Roy Keane, Gary Crosby, Scot Gemmill, Nigel Clough, Teddy
Sheringham, Kingsley Black, with subs from Carl Tiler, Lee Glover, Steve
Chettle or Ian Woan.

I'm sure you will get a report on the match, because as well as myself
I know that Nitesh will be physically present at the match. So you should
get both sides of the biast reporting :-)

Here's to a good game, a Forest victory, and a Man U Championship.

	Coppa Italia, Semi-final, Second Leg

Game played Tuesday, April 14, 1992:

Juventus	1	Milan		0
   Schillaci '20

Juve wins on aggregate 1-0.

A good game for both teams with the home team playing without Baggio
and Milan playing without Van Basten, Maldini, Gullit, and Simone.
Juventus scored the only goal of the game, and the goal which
qualifies them for the final, thanks to a header from Schillaci who
had received the ball from Casiraghi. Seven minutes later, Milan were
awarded a penalty kick after Kohler fouled Serena inside the Juve
penalty area. Baresi's penalty was saved by Juve's goalkeeper for this
match Peruzzi, who had a great game in nets. Despite Milan's pressing,
they could not score.  Consequently, Juventus becomes a finalist and
awaits the winner of the Parma - Sampdoria semi final game. Parma beat
Samp in the first leg of the semi-final 1-0...


BTW, RAI-USA will broadcast the Torino - Real Madrid UEFA Cup match
tomorrow (Wednesday) live starting at 2:30pm ET....

Well the Torino fans aren't *usually* violent (I hope I don't end up
eating these words on Thursday). If Real was playing against Fiorentina
or Verona, then things would probably be different. In any case, let's
hope that all the fans keep their cool and that nothing happens prior to

76:             Czechoslovakia; Germany         Holland,Yugo


  ....we could come up with a Euro table like this:

Country         80 82 84 86 88 90 Points    75-90 Status
=======         == == == == == == ======    ==============
Germany          M  M  M  M  M  S   19       Supreme Power

Holland          M  P  F  -  M  M    7       Mega Power

Ireland          -  -  -  -  -  F    1       Force


   S: SuperPower(5) M: MegaPower(3) P: Power(2) F: Force(1)

   A title can be kept for the next tournament, and then it will
   drop a level each 2 years -- unless the team succeedes again.

   NOTE: the year labels only indicate the end of the PERIOD of up to
   8 years that is being evaluated, with recent results counting more.

   I think there was another Euro team in Argentina-1978.

   My memory serves only down to 1976, but maybe someone can post
   more data.

Flames will be ignored unless you post them in perfect Czech.

At the EC'92 in Sweden the Dutch will play with names on their beautiful 
Orange shirts.
