And they are still in the race for the French title and the Coupe. Definitely
a great year for them. 

I wouldn't mind seeing them beat Marseille for "Le Championnat" (week 38).

Re-footy movies. I think that there was a movie made in the late 30s
called "The Highbury Stadium Mystery"--no--it was not about
the present goings on there but was one of these quickie Hollywood
movies starring most of the Arsenal team of that time, including
Alex James who started the baggy shorts look decades before
basketball players thought of it!!

I've never seen the movie--only read of it once or twice but if my
memory serves me right it was made in Hollywood--or parts of it
were.

There was also a play that I saw on TV in England when I was over
there in 1984 about Man. United's scout in Ireland (not Bob
Bishop--the other one who after seeing Best play as a 13 year old
cabled Matt Busby saying "I think I have found you a genius")The
tv show starred Ray McInnally (Sp) and was good.

But everyone is right--will there ever be another movie like
Victory(which I think was based on a Hungarian movie with the same
theme--only it was Soviet prisioners who played against German
players)--why it did not win Oscars galore for direction, acting
(best comedy?). The classic line in it was when Pele, Ardiles and
the rest are all gathered for the first team meeting and Michael
Caine waddles over, with a ball under his arm and says something
like "well we've got to prepare for this game" and promtly boots the
ball miles and has them all doing running and sit-ups. It is nice to
know that in a movie such as this the truth about English training
methods is not lost!!!

Far and away the best soccer movie is entitled "VICTORY", starring 
Max von Sydow, Michael Caine, and Sly Stallone. It also includes a 
host of real soccer legends (Pele, Bobby Moore, etc.). The movie is about
a soccer game staged between POWs and German soldiers during World War II.

It is a classic. The soccer choreography is great. The plot is unique,
clever, novel, and interesting. The acting is quite good.

 It's not a "change" as such - but a new interpretation of what constitutes
 "CONTROL" by the goalkeeper.  It's called the 'no parry' rule.  Which means
 that if the goalkeeper parries the ball down to the ground and/or 'pushes'
 the ball with his hands - he can not then pick up the ball and kick it out.
 
 The referee's call was correct.  Once a keeper 'controls' the ball with his
 hands he can not "control it again" with his hands.  

 Obviously, a hard shot batted down or away does not constitute control.
 
 It's an awkward rulling - but the underlying root is to try to avoid time
 wasting by the keepr and get the ball back into play expeditiously.

Just to comment that the above three players, L. Sivell, R. Turner, and

involved were Ipswich Town players at that time - Sivell (goalie), Osman
(defender-played for England), Wark (midfielder-played for Scotland),
O'Callaghan(winger-played for N.Ireland), and Turner (reserve striker).

Well everybody has the right to express their feelings. Liverpool were
'fortunate' to get this replay after the original game, due to an
equaliser 2 minutes from the end of extra time. People shouldn't
forget that Porstmouth were the 'underdogs' from the second division
and as such alot of people would have liked them to win. Liverpool in
that case were in a no-win situation. If they won handsomely, the
comments would have been 'It's just what we expected'. If they won
(but only just), you'll get the comment 'They were lucky/fortunate'. If
they had lost (no matter by what score), then all the comment would
have been in Portsmouth's favour 'They deserved to win'.

Sunderland next for what? A 3-1 defeat on penalties after a drawn FA Cup
final and replay after extra time ;-)). Well Liverpool did convert their
pens while Pompey contrived to missed their's, so I suppose thats a
 good enough formula to get to Wembley.

Have to agree with Carlos here.  What Next????

I had the same thoughts when I read Richard's article.  American sports
crowds are used to seeing the names of the players on the back of the
"uniform" ("kit" to us Brits).  Therefore it seems FIFA want to do the
same to appease the Great American Audience.  Its probably intended to
dispell any thoughts of this being a "Foreigner's Game".  :-)

Hi!
Thomas Dooley, player of the 1.FC Kaiserslautern since 5 or 6 years,
is one of the most reliable players of the german football league
and was considered in the last season, when Kaiserslautern won
the german championship, one of the best defense middlefield
players of the whole bundesliga.
His plus:
- very good in air - fight
- enormous experience
- good short - passing
- enormous fighter
- excellent recognition of game-situations

His minus:
- not very fast
- technical on the average
- not hard shooting

He is a very fair player and very friendly - nice guy!
He often played in the defense (middle), where he did an 
excellent shop  and scored a few times last year (6 goals ?)
in the league. I am sure, if he will be fit again, and if he
is really playing for the US team, he would be a tremendous
support for the somehow young and unexperienced american team.

Markus  (since 15 years at nearly every home game of the
         1.FCK and since last year CHAMPION with that
         marvellous team and with all the other spectators -
         the best of the league)

Played on Saturday 11th April

Dundee Utd.  1   Rangers  2

MacInally   60   Mikhailichenko 50
                 Brown 68

Att. 11,391

A difficult away fixture overcome with a victory which effectively means that
Rangers need only two points to win the league due to the massive goal
difference they have. In what was a skilful yet goalless first half, Rangers
lost Ally McCoist first with concussion then with a slight pull of the
hamstring - he should be OK for Saturday. Miko scored the first when a Stuart
McCall chip was taken down by Miko and he slotted it into the corner with his
right foot! I thought it was only for standing on. Dundee United levelled
when a cross was headed on by Spackers and Jim MacInally popped up at the far
post to Buddy Holly the ball high into the net. Rangers actually scored the
winner temporarily reduced to ten men when Bomber had a forty yarder tipped
over by Main. However, from the resulting corner, Gordon headed it on and
Psycho was on the edge of the box with his right foot to sink it in the pokey
(his right foot). So it was a most unusual game with both Rangers' goals
scored by left footers. Best for Rangers were Miko and Durrant. Rideout
missed a sitter when clean through on Main but all in all it was a good game
with a lot of good fitba' on show.

This Saturday is a home game against St. Mirren who are now relegated which
means no more trips to that piggery at Paisley and the cheating antics of Roy
Aitken. Two points from them coupled with Hertz visiting Tannadice will
offically give the League Championship (Cham-pi-on-ship) to Rangers assuming
that Hertz drop a point.

 Beating Mexico the last three times does not mean the U.S. has been
 beating them regularly, after all these games were in diffrent
 categories. The U.S. olimpic team is very good and they have
 surprised Mexico twice, now.  First in the Pan Am games, and now a
 very impressive upset victory in Mexico City. But, the U.S. national
 team is a different story. They have only defeated Mexico once in the
 GOLD CUP, which was played in the U.S.  How many times has Mexico defeated
 the U.S.? I've lost track already.  Putting Mexico on the same category
 as China is not conceivable.
