Brian Laudrup – A God Amongst Men

Brian Laudrup – A God Amongst Men

In the modern age in which we live, many people doubt the existence of a higher being looking over us; nevertheless, people follow many different Gods with many different names – Allah, God, Zeus.

Weymouth look to end the months of Terra

Weymouth look to end the months of Terra

There very few teams that would view a two-nil defeat away at York City as a cause for celebration but Weymouth will view this as progress of sorts. A week ago, the crisis club were forced to field a youth team and were hammered 9-0 at home to Rushden and Diamonds. With the majority of…

Manchester United Win Carling Cup Final, Atletico Madrid Outlast Barcelona in La Liga Thriller, Soccerlens’ March 2009 WAG of the Month, and more

It’s the start of a new week, but the end of the weekend brought a few thrilling results. So, while you recover from your celebratory binge/drowning of your sorrows, catch up with Sunday’s best, and be glad that Clint Dempsey, like Ryan Babel, raps only as a hobby.

Turkish Memories of Euro 2008

Turkish Memories of Euro 2008

Only eight months ago the Turkish national team (Milli Takim) were taking the European Championships by storm with a brand of “never say die” attacking football and last minute heroics (or controversy depending on who you ask) as they made a name for Turkish football in Europe and across the world. It was yet another…

Steven Whittaker – Anthem For A Domed Youth

Steven Whittaker – Anthem For A Domed Youth

I admit to a strange fascination with Rangers defender Steven Whittaker. His uncertainty as to best position, his hot-cold form swings from European master of the wizard dribble (cf. Lisbon, 2008) to leaden footed novice baffled by the Scottish game (cf. too many to mention), to debate over the size of his transfer fee… …all…

The True European Champions

The champions of Europe! Surely this should mean that this team is the best in Europe. But how can this be when chances are this team qualified for the competition by finishing only second or third in their domestic league, so arguably they are not even the best in their own country. I know the…

Save The Man In Black

Let me ask you a question. How would you feel, having to stand in front of forty plus thousand screaming people, see an incident in a split second, and then have to make a decision against those people. Well this is what our referees have to face in the premiership week in week out. True,…

Melissa Satta – Babe of the Month (March 2009)

Melissa Satta – Babe of the Month (March 2009)

Life on the Soccerlens Babes section is getting hard for selecting the Babe of the Month. Alessandra Pinho set a pretty high standard to begin with and then Belen Rodriguez raised the bar. Every time the bar is raised, more and more babes fall out of the contest to become Babe of the Month. Keeping…
