FA Cup 1969 1970 Chelsea Watford demie finale

14 March 1970
White Hart Lane London
Attendance: 55,209
Referee: Gordon W Hill    

 This was a great FA cup year. There was lower division interest until the latter stages, moments of sensational individual brilliance, and a classic, albeit brutal, final. Right from the first round, the shocks arrived. Even before the flawed genius of an ageing and alcoholic Jirnmy Greaves arrived, Brentwood showed dial they carried a threat. Their win over Reading was a major surprise, as Reading had half an eye on promotion to Division Two. The West Midlands Regional League doesn't sound terribly glamorous. The reality reflected that feeling; it was an outpost of non-league football, and one of its teams, Tamworth, had done well to even reach the first round. Their opponents, Torquay United, were in the Third Division but possessed no Cup pedigree, having only once ventured beyond the third round, and that had been in 1955. Despite taking the lead. Torquay remained true to form, losing 2-1 to goals from Tamworth's prolific forwards Graham Jessop, a clay-worker, and Ray Holmes, a car plant man. Gillingham showed how to take care of lesser teams in the next round, beating Tamworth 6-0 at a canter. Tamworth have never since made the draw for the Second Round. Pride of place in the third round went to Sheffield United, who hosted eventual Champions Everton. The Toffees boasted the midfield 'holy trinity' of Kendall, Harvey and Ball, who were sent cursing back to Goodison after a 2-1 defeat. The Blades' 'reward' was a tough trip to Derby, where the Rains gave Everton a lesson in professionalism. John O'Hare grabbed a couple in a 3-0 win.

   Stoke City, the second oldest club in the Football League (they were founded in 1863), at last walked off with a major soccer trophy for the first time in their 109-year history when they beat Chelsea in the 1972 League Cup Final at Wembley. Their only other Cup Final appearance was in the 1964 League Cup contest when they were beaten by Leicester City. Ironically Chelsea, their 1972 opponents, also did battle with Leicester City in the 1965 Final and their eventual win brought the League Cup to Chelsea for the first time.

  Diego Maradona est le meilleur joueur du monde. C'est, du moins, ce que l'on dit et qui n'est pas contestable en certaines circonstances, quand le "petit gros" à poils noirs n'a pas trop forcé sur la pizza et les voyages intercontinentaux. Diego Maradona, champion du monde avec l'Argentine 1986, est, de toute façon, le joueur de balle le mieux payé, les Anglais lui ayant même signé, à ce tricheur patenté, un chèque de cent mille livres (1,2 millions de francs) pour une production de quatre-vingt-dix minutes à Wembley à l'occasion du centenaire de la Football Association. Cent mille livres moins la copieuse note de téléphone laissée à l'hôtel. Avec Maradona, les Napolitains considèrent donc que la Coupe d'Europe va suivre le Scudetto dans leur vitrine. Il est génial, Diego, génial et invincible. "Mamma, Mamina mia, sais-tu pourquoi mon cœur bat ? Quand je vois Maradona. je suis amoureux", chante-t-on au pied du Vésuve. Ce que les Napolitains ont oublié, ou n'ont pas voulu remarquer, c'est que les Coupes européennes ne sont pas le jardin de leur roi. Avec le Barça et une équipe qui brûle d'un feu continental, Maradona n'a pas dépassé le seuil des quarts de finale en 1983 et 1984. Avec Naples, il est tombé au premier tour à Toulouse en 1986, trahi par sa pantoufle gauche lors d'un coup de pied au but. Et, en 1987, en seizième de finale, c'est le Real Madrid qui l'attend. Un autre roi. Le Stade Santiago Bernabeu qui, du temps qu'il était catalan, lui offrait des sifflets de corrida.

Copa America 2007 Brasil Uruguay

Semi Final 10 July 2007
Estadio José Pachencho Romero Maracaibo
Referee : Óscar Ruiz

Malgré les critiques sur la tristesse de son jeu lors de ses premières sorties, le Brésil est monté d'un ton en quart de finale en humiliant le Chili (6-1). Et rêve d'une finale contre l'Argentine. L'Uruguay tentera de l'en priver après avoir sorti le pays hôte de la compétition, le Vénézuela (4-1). Même privé de ses deux meilleurs joueurs du moment, Ronaldinho et Kaka, le Brésil fait figure d'épouvantail. Même au pays du football latino, les « Auriverdes » restent les rois du jeu. Et même lorsque la fantaisie n'est pas au rendez-vous, le foot-samba n'est jamais très loin. La bande à Dunga, soumise aux quolibets il y a encore quelques jours pour son manque d'inspiration offensive et la pauvreté de son jeu, l'a prouvé, d'un coup. 

Coppa Italia 2010 2011 Inter Milan Genoa

fifth round 12th january 2011 
internazionale milano v. genoa

Heading into the new year Inter were a disaster. The Italian and European champions may have won the Club Word Cup but the dismissal of Rafael Benitez as coach and the introduction of Leonardo, who has just one season of top-flight football management experience, did invite a large cloud of doubt over the Nerazzurri’s ambitions this campaign.

But two wins in two matches under the 41-year-old Brazilian have refurbished the Beneamata and have made them re-adopt hope again. Perhaps it would be pre-mature to suggest that Inter are back in the Scudetto race or have resurrected themselves, but the comprehensive victory over Napoli at San Siro and then the hard-fought win against Catania who had lost just one home game all season prior to Sunday's defeat does exhibit the rediscovery of confidence of the players.

 Le propre d'une grande équipe, c'est d'être exacte au rendez-vous. Surtout lorsque la rencontre est suivie par des millions de téléspectateurs. Nul doute qu'après cette première brillante victoire européenne, Paris-S.-G. aura regagné des points dans l'estime des amateurs de football intense. Sur le plan du suspens, ce match retour qui opposait les Parisiens aux Bulgares du Lokomotiv Sofia aura constitué un excellent spectacle télévisé pour l'ouverture de la saison 1982-1983. En 1978, la «désastreuse» campagne du Mundial argentin avait été suivie par une Bérésina collective au niveau de la compétition européenne. 1982 aura vu, d'une part, un brillant comportement des Bleus en Espagne et, d'autre pan, une ouverture réussie en Coupe des Coupes.
