Ducky.

...who i think is one-off better than Casillas (in Golden Glove category) as a Goalie because, darn it, he had more clean sheets, more saves and an effing better performance than iker/stekelenburg/cesar/lloris..and it's his first WC!!!

PLUS: I heart him! Go Schalke 04!

Go team Germany!

My favorite team after France...LOL. 

Girondins

There's a match tonight for Girondins de Bordeaux, my favorite French League club, but I can't watch it since I don't have a link to any site! waah! Yoann Gourcuff is back in midfield duty! I feel so helpless! I miss football too much and I so want to watch their match!

My Favorite Football Websites

RedCafe

• The Leading Manchester United Forum. This site not only deals with Man.United itself but of anything football related in it's forums. I love reading and joining in the conversations with other fans who are as passionate as football as I am! I stumbled on this site when I was looking for more news about Yoann Gourcuff and the France NT, the discussions dealt with not only the obvious issues but also about other underlying ones that some sportscasters deemed too delicate to discuss! Plus I get links from scanned articles of local newspapers and links to other football blogs. And the fans are really accommodating here too!

Fifa

• During the World Cup, I was a constant visitor at this site that I reached the level of team captain in the Activity Meter . I also loved their match casts and enjoyed chatting with other fans in the Fifa club. I made quite a lot of international friends here! Plus there was the Panini Virtual Sticker Album which I went crazy about and Redcafe.net forums helped me complete it!
• The bad thing about this site is it's rather biased on Federation issues like Sepp Blatter and the goal line technology. 
• But they get great photos just seconds during a match! And VIP interviews with players, coaches and notable people in football too!

Dirty Tackle Sports Blog

• I deem this site as the blog of all football blogs! Not one but at most 4 writers are involved in making this site possible. Brooks Peck, who I follow in twitter, and we once exchanged tweets during the WC =0000, writes with a wicked sense of humor and witty cynicisms about the world of football. I also loved that they got cool photos, videos and links to other sites. 
• The best thing about this site: news+wit+humor approach in news writing.
• Bad: to diehard footy fans who are pretty sensitive regarding casual insults about any and all things football---do not enter! haha!

Kickette

• As a certified Kickette myself, I give this site the 5 star treatment. For those who love the players as much as they love the game. Sometimes, football makes me feel like I'm turning into a guy (Ugh), I was even mistaken as one! This site cleanses (?!) me... Where I can release my football fantasies of my beloved Football hunks.
• A guilty pleasure. Kickette is like the entertainment TMZ of the Football world. The veritable number of Football players in all their naked glory (and gory--they feature some not-so-hot men ballers too) will leave you salivating for more. LOL. This is getting out of hand. Kickette has this much effect on me. They got WAG and Baby Ballers new too! and their community is just wonderful! Fan Photo Submissions are the best!
• For all the still-girly-girls like me who love football!

The Offside

• I'm new at this site but when I google about football clubs, this always comes up. And judging by their cover stories of various football leagues, this site is worth seeing! I've been looking for a site that covers the football clubs in all the leagues and this site does it and more! It has all the news I was looking for so this certainly goes to my top lists of favorite footy blogs.

Other Websites worth Mentioning:

• UK's Mirror Football
• Who Ate all The Pies?
• Football Report
• Premier League Blog
• Girondins de Bordeaux Official website
  
• Schalke 04 Official website

der Mannschaft: Jögi stays!

Jögi Löw's contract may have expired just after the World Cup but after leading his young team into 3rd place at the tournament, there have been demands to extend his contract with the German NT.
And today, a press conference was held that announced the extension for his contract for 2 years!
That means he'll be coaching the German NT through Euro 2012!
I can't wait for them to get started! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this time, Germany will win the Cup (unless my other favorite team, France pulls though all the drama*wink*)
