They had to come from behind but thanks to two excellently dispatched dead ball situations, Seoul came away with a huge three points after a slow start this season over a slightly more-fancied Pohang Steelers side 2-1 despite missing a few number of players. Both of their goals came from set-pieces, namely corners where Pohang should be questioned how they set up to defend them.

Read MoreIn May 2006, Juventus were relegated to Serie B, as part of the five clubs that were linked to Calciopoli, a match fixing scandal that has rocked Italian football.

Read MoreFrom Malaysia. My love-affair with Sunderland started when I was introduced to Championship Manager (now Football Manager) by my brother many years ago. I did not have the privilege to know all of the top English clubs when I was young, and only really knew of the big sides and big name players until that point.
Read MoreIt would cost me an infinite quantity of words and that too, won’t be enough for me to write everything about goalkeepers and being a custodian. What can I do? This goalkeeping thing is the only thing that I am capable to do, and I just simply love the fact about it. Even in social football, original goalkeepers don’t play themselves a goalie. They prefer to play up front, but that doesn’t work for me. Everywhere I go, it is a goalkeeper for me. As if it is a voluntary work rather than being forced. And of course I am aware of the pressure when you try to keep the ball out from entering your goal. It deeply hurts when every time a team concedes, spectators will question – as Petr Cech had said – “If a team concedes a goal, the first question is always of the goalkeeper,”. I mean, why this kind of question do even exist, when football involves eleven players on the pitch and not just goalkeeper alone?

Aku mula meminati bola sepak secara umum sejak di bangku sekolah lagi. Setiap budak lelaki meminati sukan bola sepak dengan bermain bola sepak sesama mereka sama ada di sekolah atau pada waktu petang. Aku hanya tahu bola sepak sebagai sebuah permainan, tidak lebih daripada itu. Namun begitu, apabila aku sudah menganjak usia ke alam sekolah menengah, aku mula menerima pendedahan mengenai bola sepak sedikit demi sedikit. Keterbatasan aku semasa di asrama adalah kami dilarang untuk menonton televisyen kecuali pada hujung minggu sahaja. Hal ini juga agak sukar buat kami pada masa itu untuk menonton perlawanan bola sepak (melainkan mereka membuka saluran langsung di televisyen).
