The soap opera that is Argentina’s head coaching position will not cease its turbulent plot twists and he said/he said. The latest development is one which no one is likely to have seen coming after all the comments hurled from The Bearded One.
The door has been left open for his return.

A historic milestone was hit in the world of Twitter: 20 billion short little bursts, 19.9 of which belong to Darren Bent.
But in the process of learning about Twitterstones, we’ve found this surprising little nugget:

Twitter’s popularity in Japan has soared in the past year with the company estimating that the Japanese send about [...]

Most of the cats who stepped away from the international game in wake of World Cup 2010 were lacking in one key ingredient: effectiveness. There are, of course, exceptions, such as Gio van Bronckhorst, who pulled a half-Zizou and stepped away from the game entirely in the final.
The list of retirees we now know does [...]

With the U20 Women’s World Cup added to their list of titles, Germany may now rival Spain for the title of most successful summer in football.  The Spanish side, which won the men’s World Cup and appeared in the U19 European Championship Final (before losing to France), has received widespread attention for their countries sporting [...]

Spain and France, arguably the most dominant teams in the tournament, met on Friday to determine the winner of the U19 European Championship.  Going into the final, the hosts (France) had been consistently impressive- beating the Netherlands (4-1) and Austria (5-0) in their first two matches and then Croatia 2-1 in the semifinals.  Only a [...]

Life as a player for the North Korean national team is probably pretty difficult as it stands what with living through that 7-0 to Portugal and a much improved 3-0 loss in their final two games. Their passion for the motherland combined with their pride as athletes surely took a belting hit as they headed [...]

There was a standoff between employer and employee, and one of those wins that battle more often than not.
And it doesn’t matter if your name is Diego Maradona.
Diego said he would not budge regarding his demands that the AFA allow his whole staff to return or he walks. The AFA has politely let him [...]

The World Cup is oh-ver, but international football continues. There’s the Asian Cup, Copa America, Africa Cup of Nations, Euros and then – before we know it – qualification for World Cup 2014 will begin. Maybe more importantly (at least for the purposes of this post) is that the immediate post-World Cup period is usually [...]

This may just be the best thing France has done since ‘98 (or ‘00 if you prefer). In the wake of that massive mental and behavioral meltdown that was their World Cup 2010 campaign, a show of bad football and even worse insubordination, the French Football Federation has suspended the entire World Cup squad for [...]

A Brazilian tech company doctored these transformations for our amusement. Something which may be very simple but to the technologically unevolved (present!) still stands in the end as wonderfully cool. At least in the case of Dunga.
Diego’s (below), however, is artistic metaphor. Someone whose transformations have run the full spectrum of one human’s physical appearance [...]
