via TheFA
The Football Association can confirm that Fabio Capello has today resigned as England Manager.
This follows a meeting involving FA Chairman David Bernstein, FA General Secretary Alex Horne and Fabio Capello at Wembley Stadium.
The discussions focused on The FA Board’s decision to remove the England team captaincy from John Terry, and Fabio Capello’s response through an Italian broadcast interview.
In a meeting for over an hour, Fabio’s resignation was accepted and he will leave the post of England Manager with immediate effect.
David Bernstein said: “I would like to stress that during today’s meeting and throughout his time as England Manager, Fabio has conducted himself in an extremely professional manner. We have accepted Fabio’s resignation, agreeing this is the right decision. We would like to thank Fabio for his work with the England team and wish him every success in the future.”
A media conference with David Bernstein and the Club England Management team will take place at Wembley on Thursday at 12 noon.
The FA will not be making any further comment until the media conference.
Corinthians have locked Adriano in team hotel and on a diet until he gets his fitness sorted …. wait, whaaa ?!?
Filed under: Brazil, WTF
via the guardian:
The Brazilian club Corinthians are keeping their striker Adriano “detained” inside the team’s hotel, all while training three times a day, in an effort to force him to lose weight.
The Corinthians fitness trainer Fabio Mahseredjian was quoted as saying, “In the hotel we have more control over him … He knows we’re trying to do the best for him. All of us are dedicated, but it depends on him. Weight loss comes only through diet: you cannot lose weight through physical activity alone.”
*Can you even imagine anything close to this happening in American sports?
**Obviously Adriano is on board with this, because you can’t just lock up a grown man in a hotel room, and I guess on a lot of levels you have to give him props, but this just seems ridiculous…
***How about just getting him a private chef and controlling his diet that way?
Piraten Klub – St. Pauli
Filed under: Bumpy Pitch, Culture & Lifestyle
FC St. Pauli. Where to start with this one of a kind sports club? I guess we’ll start with the club itself. Although they feature a professional soccer team, and this focuses in mostly on that, the club also features rugby, American football, bowling, chess, cycling, skittles (read up on that), softball and ping pong. So they truly are a pretty all encompassing sporting club. But we are going to focus in on the soccer side of things and the teams supporters.
Founded in 1910, St. Pauli really is about more than just the team or the sport. They have a fundamental belief in social activism and have stood on the right side of some of the bigger societal issues that we face. This social activism is fundamental to the club and the supporters and they have made sure this is a part of the ethos of the club.
St. Pauli was “the first club in Germany to ban right-wing activities and displays in their stadium at a time when fascist-inspired football hooligans threatened the game in Europe.” The supporters of St. Pauli have taken a stance against such things as racism, sexism, fascism and homophobia. In an era where racism and homophobia are invading the sport, the ethos of a supporters club standing firmly against these types of behavior are something to be applauded.
Beyond just social activism, the club and its supporters have also been involved in charity work. They set up Viva con Agua de Sankt Pauli, which among other things, collects money for water dispensers in schools in Cuba and clean water for Rwanda.
Clearly culture reigns supreme with St. Pauli and its supporters.
With that being said, we have long been inspired by the club and what they stand for and have had an idea to do a St. Pauli inspired shirt for awhile. And now that time has come. The most iconic imagery that you will find for St. Pauli is the skull and crossbones. This has been adopted by the supporters and it is present in just about all things St. Pauli. So we decided to keep things consistent and stick with that imagery, but we flipped it up our own way and gave the graphic a Bumpy Pitch feel.
We always talk about the culture of the sport, and this graphic is certainly inspired by that.
Proudly designed, constructed, printed and finished right here in the USA. Made in America matters.
