Date: 13 Apr 92 09:26:29 GMT
Organization: BNR Europe

Leeds are still working hard to overcome the loss of Mel
Sterland Sex Machine at right back,  but on Saturday again
returned to the top of division one with a 3-0 victory over
Chelsea at Elland Road. 

Wallace got the first in the 56th minute,  set up by a nice
move by Strach who could have tried it himself.  Chapman got 
the less attractive second goal in the final ten minutes and 
Cantona wowed his huge personal following in the 89th minute
by receiving a cross,  controlling it with his chest, knee, and
instep, beating the Chelsea defence and releasing a ferocious drive 
into the far top corner of the net.  He then went straight behind the 
goal and kissed his shirt before the joyous multitudes.

McAllister took Zico's position for the first half but was
eventually superseded by Newsome while he partnered Speed in 
midfield,  substantially improving Leeds' game.

Referee Neil Midgeley astounded an already incredulous footballing
world by not sending off Chelsea defender Clarke for a blatant
foul,  bringing Strach down when he was heading for goal.  Midgeley
is of course reknowned for his eccentric decisions as Pat Nevin will
testify among others.  Anyway Porterfield substituted Clarke straight
away and thus weakened their previously stout defence. 

Cantona is to stay at Leeds which is a very popular decision.  He is
the idol of the Leeds fans who haven't had a player of such class
probably since Tony Currie's wife took him back to QPR in 1978.  This
is not to put down the abilities of Strach,  Macca, Batts and the lads
but Big Eric is very special.
The remaining games of the season are:

Liverpool           Away 19 April telly
Coventry            Home 20 April telly
Sheffield Utd       Away 25 April telly highlights
Norwich City        Home  2 May

Man U have :

Southampton         Home 16 April
Luton               Away 18 April
Notts Forest(h)     sorry no dates
Liverpool(a)        sorry no dates
West Ham(a)         sorry no dates
Spurs(h)            sorry no dates

Four of these games are played in a six day period so they should
stumble with a bit of luck.  West Ham and Luton are desparate to 
avoid relegation (West Ham trashed Norwich 4-0 on Saturday,  and
Luton's scoring record belies their actual ability as a team.)
Plus Gazza is set to play his last game for Spurs at Old Trafford...
Liverpool are bound to lose to them though.

Subject: U21 European Championship: Denmark-Italy  (April 9)
Date: 11 Apr 92 15:01:30 GMT
Organization: Mathematics and Computer Science, Aalborg University


We don't have any "real" nationals here in Aalborg but we still manage
to get some exciting international football every time our Olympic/U21
team visits our town. Somehow, in recent years our Olympic team has
had a lot more success than our actual national team.

The Danish team had already managed to qualify for the Olympics this
year, which also meant that we had reached the semifinals of the
European championship for U21 teams. So it was with high hopes that
4,400 people showed up to this the first of the two semifinals. What's
more, our side featured local Aalborg heroes Niels Chr. Joergensen and
Peter Moeller. On the other hand, the Italian team is very strong,
definitely a force to be reckoned with, and we knew that it would not
be easy at all.

Italy got off to a good start. 18 minutes into the first half they had
their first goal, scored by Renato Buso. A few minutes later, after an
episode just outside the penalty area, Luca Luzardi was so angry with
our Miklos Molnar that he resorted to the kind of dirty trick that
Italians sometimes seem to be too fond of. From where I was sitting it
wasn't clear exactly what happened - it almost looked as if he poked
Molnar in the eye.

Anyway, Luzardi promptly got the red card, Denmark got the penalty kick that
they deserved... and failed to score! Was I disappointed ? [that was a
rhetorical question] 

Anyway, a side effect of the penalty was that our team seemed to
improve drastically, at least for a while. There were some pretty good
attempts, particularly one by Molnar. But no goals, nichts, niente,
rien, even though the Italians were down to 10 players now. Part of
the reason was their rather impressive keeper [whose name I have
forgotten - sorry, Italians]. Half way thorough the second half things
ground to a halt for Denmark. It looked as if our players were afraid
to try anything dangerous. 

To cut a long story short, the result was a disappointing

--

Denmark-Italy : 0 - 1

--

And as if that wasn't reason enough for me to have a sleepless night,
this also turned out to be the day that a certain accountant won the
British election...

There is still hope for us Danes (at least formally) - the second
semifinal will be on the 22nd of April in Perugia. And hey, I almost
forgot that we (and the rest of you) will get to see a lot more of the
Danish national team this summer down in Catalunya.

The latest "The Match" they are advertising is Leeds vs Coventry on Easter Monday.
I nearly pissed myself with laughter after they said that Coventry have become a

I would say that 50 games/year is a _lower_ limit for professional 
players, if you count the various friendlies, pre-season preperation
games and other non-official matches. I heard a figure of 70+ games
for Liverpool player some years ago, confirmation anyone?

Yes it was a very dissappointing and depressing result and there will be

he'll be playing for West Ham because he is one of my favourite players

We don't know how Soccer will fair in the future here(US).  But I can tell
you that things have been changing at an incredible pace(at least from my
perspective).  I have played Soccer from the time I was a young boy(5) until
now(30).  There were few youth teams back then and as I grew older the more
physical larger players flocked to American Football.  I stayed true to 
soccer mainly because of my heritage(Norwegian/French).  Most of my team
mates played because they were considered too small for or disliked American
Football.  I had the advantage, because of my background, to travel to and 
play in Europe.  I saw first hand the sad difference in training technique
and overall mentality.  That doesn't mean we didn't try and weren't proud
of our accomplishments.  It really had to do with not enough exposure to
a higher brand of Soccer.  And there were extreme difficulties finding
coaches that had ever kicked a ball let alone actually played soccer.  The
teams that did the best in those days were usually coached by a foreigner.

Now I coach my own boys U-12 team.  Our league is extremely competitive
even when compared with the teams of the same age I have encountered in 
Europe.  I have brought what I learned in Europe and adapted as best I 
could for my players.  My boys love Soccer and want to play more.  They
would not leave the game for the world.  Of course who can predict the
future?  But, I have not seen such gung-ho fanaticism for playing Soccer
ever before in America.  I firmly believe our development in Soccer is
right on the edge of an explosion.  When these kids get a little older
the world is going to see more higher quality players coming from the US.

An interesting note.  Of the Top 4 teams in our division last year, 3
were coached by people that were not American.

1st place -- American Coach
2nd place -- British Coach
3rd place -- Norwegian Coach
4th place -- Nigerian Coach

Interesting, no?

Any comments or observations welcome.

   British players are only average at best.  Scotland have never advanced
past the first round.  England didn't even qualify for the 1974 and 1978
finals and I doubt they would have if the world cup didn't expand to 24
teams in 1982.  Remember that they finished behind Hungary in the qualifying
competition?  They were also so damn close to being eliminated in the first
round in 1982 and 86.  In my opinion England is just not consistently good
enough to be a mega power.
   Germany on the other hand is a very good tournament team.  They deserved
to be champions in 1990 but were lucky to reach the finals in 1986.  After
watching France eliminate Brazil I didn't think the Germans stood much of
a chance in the semis but they raised their game a notch and Brehme's early
goal gave the team much needed confidence.  If the 1986 finals had gone on
to overtime I think they would have even won!  This is the mark of a great
team - win games whether it is playing well or not.

Yeah I agree, I echo much of the author's text.

It is much like comparing the thoroughbred race horsing in
North America and Europe and saying such and such a horse is the best.
Even the derbys within Ireland itself have different course styles and
