CHICAGO RIOT COMES UP SHORT AGAINST
1ST-PLACE MILWAUKEE, 9-8
The Chicago Riot put together a strong defensive performance but came
up short on the scoreboard as the first-place Milwaukee Wave defeated
Chicago, 9-8, on Saturday in Major Indoor Soccer League play at the U.S.
Cellular Arena.
New Wave signing Jonathan Greenfield’s three-point goal at the 1:00 mark
of the fourth quarter turned out to be the game-winner, but the Riot created
several last-minute chances to keep Milwaukee on its heels.
At the 12:50 mark of the fourth quarter, the Riot’s Bato Radoncic netted
a two-point goal to cut the deficit to 9-8, and it gave Chicago ample time
to fight for the lead. Radoncic was inserted as the sixth attacker with 1:33
remaining, and with 52 seconds left during his distribution in the box, the
Wave’s Ryan Mack was blue-carded for a handball.
But during Chicago’s two-man advantage, the Wave defense held its own,
pressured the Riot despite being shorthanded, and pulled off the win. The Wave improved to 5-0 and the Riot fell
to 0-4. Chicago is 0-2 so far during its three-game weekend, coming off a 17-6 loss to the host Omaha Vipers on
Friday.
“It was a game that could have gone either way,” Riot Head Coach Jeff Kraft said. “We gambled at the end, and
I’m not a big fan of pulling the ‘keeper. But we tried to capitalize on the situation. We had the two-man advantage,
but the time elapsed on us.”
Chris Brisson was the Riot’s leading points man with a two-point goal and two assists. Riot goalkeeper Jeff
Richey made 19 saves and Wave goalkeeper Nick Vorberg had 10 saves as both sides’ defenses particularly stood
out in this match. From the Riot’s perspective, they held the likes of Marcio Leite and Giuliano Oliviero without a
point. Riot rookie defender Eric Duda had a game-high four blocks.
“It was a team effort tonight,” Kraft said. “Eric Duda did a sensational job, and Jeff Richey made some outstanding saves. Those two shined a bit. ... You’re happy, but disappointed, in a game like this. They gave it everything
out there.”
Chicago wraps up its three-day, three-game swing with a home match against the Missouri Comets at 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 12, at the Odeum Sports and Expo Center in Villa Park, Ill. Before the game, the Riot is paying tribute to
recently retired Chicago Fire (Major League Soccer) defender C.J. Brown. For tickets and more information, visit
www.ChicagoRiotSoccer.com or call 630-708-6284.
For the third time in four games this season, the Riot garnered the 2-0 lead on Saturday with Alex Megson’s first
MISL goal at the 10:37 mark of the first quarter. Edward Santeliz got the assist as he crossed the ball from the
right side to Megson, who played with Milwaukee last season. Megson’s shot deflected off of a Wave defender
and found the back of the net.
Milwaukee’s Marco Terminesi was in the right place at the right time as he tallied an unassisted goal at the 13:33
mark of the first quarter to tie the score at 2-2. Terminesi’s goal immediately followed a high-percentage scoring
chance for the Riot’s Will Kletzien, who pushed the ball wide right. The Wave countered and as Richey tried to
clear the the ball, it deflected to Terminesi.
Recent Riot signing Anthony Maher, playing in his second game this season, tallied his first goal with Chicago
at the 7:54 mark of the second quarter for a 4-2 lead. Maher cut the ball to the inside to elude Wave defender Joe
Hammes and Maher’s shot trickled inside the right post past Vorberg.
Despite not capitalizing on a power-play opportunity, the Wave was able to get the final goal of the first half
with Hewerton’s redirect at the 13:21 mark to tie the score at 4-4. Evan McNeley took the deep strike and the ball
bounced off of Hewerton and past Richey.
The scoring picked up in the third quarter when the Wave’s Travis MacKenzie netted a power-play goal at the
8:58 mark for a 6-4 Milwaukee lead. He capitalized on an Eric Lukin tripping penalty.
But the Riot responded 17 seconds later at the 9:15 mark with a Brisson goal to tie the score at 6-6. Vladimir
Knezevic assisted as he dropped the ball back and Brisson converged with full steam on the shot.
Greenfield gave the Wave a 9-6 lead at the 1:00 mark of the fourth quarter. Greenfield raced down the right side
and struck a low rolling shot just inside the far left post past Richey.
The match stayed that way until Radoncic’s goal at 12:50. Radoncic made a turn against McNeley and flicked the
ball with his right foot in between Vorberg’s legs and into the net.

Chicago wraps up 2-day, 2-game swing with Saturday match against Milwaukee Wave
3623 South Archer Avenue,

Beer: Dangerous and good for you
Vahid Halilhodzic, fired by Ivory
Coast after the team’s showing at
this year’s African Nations Cup,
has been a roaring success since
taking charge of Dinamo Zagreb in
August. Introducing an attractive
style of football, they are currently
seven points clear of Hajduk Split
at the top of the table and have
beaten Villarreal in the Europa
League.
The talking point of late, though,
is booze.
Amid rumours of partying in the
squad, Halilhodzic warned his
players: “Alcohol is very dangerous for the muscles. I have two
degrees, so I know what happens
to muscles when alcohol gets into
the blood. The likelihood of injury
increases by three to five times.”
Two days after that speech, Dinamo
won 2-0 away at sixth-placed Rijeka and the coach announced that,
on their return, he had taken his
players out for a night on the tiles.
“I took the players out for a drink
at 2am,” he said. “Beer is good to
settle you down after all that effort,
because it has protein. Beer can be
good after an exhausting match.
Even advisable.”
Football’s like a box of penicillin

Amid all Rafa’s talk of white
liquid in bottles and priests on
sugar mountains, Dejan Stankovic entered the world of the
simile after Inter’s much-needed 5-2 win over Parma.
“We won and victories are
like penicillin: they cure all
the problems,” he said, wildly
overestimating penicillin’s
medicinal capacities. “Even if
there is a moment of difficulty,
we are alive.”
Farfan edges Schalke past Mainz

Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Andre Schurrle both missed from the spot, but Jefferson Farfan showed more accuracy
with the only goal of the game after
half an hour to take Felix Magath’s
side up to their highest league position
of the season in 10th.
The result leaves Mainz in fourth position, their lowest of the season so far.
The Royal Blue were given a great
opportunity to go ahead in the eighth
minute when Christian Fuchs fouled
Farfan inside the penalty area but
Huntelaar struck the post with his
effort.
Schalke did go ahead in the 30th
minute when Farfan threaded his shot
through three defenders and the Mainz
4
goalkeeper Christian Wetklo.
Mainz were offered a chance to level
in the 72nd minute when Sami Allagui
took a dive past Manuel Neuer on the
referee’s blind side to earn a penalty
but the
keeper
saved
Schurrle’s
effort.
Blackpool pleasure beach
Inter Milan star Wesley Sneijder revealed this week that he became ready to kill himself and others for Jose Mourinho after he gave
him a three-day holiday last season.
“Once he said to me: ‘Wesley, you look tired. Take a few days off. Go get some sun with your wife and child’,” he told France Football. “All the other coaches [in my career] only spoke about training. He sent me to the beach, so I
went to Ibiza for three days. When I got back, I was prepared to kill and die for him.”
And Ian Holloway, adding further weight to Big Sam’s theory that the Blackpool boss is Mourinho’s equal, risked turning his whole side into suicidal/homicidal maniacs ahead of Saturday’s big
game against Manchester United with his own beach plans.
“Whereas most teams can train under their beautiful bubble, we haven’t really got anywhere,” Holloway said. “What we might use is the beach. I might have to take them indoors, an aerobics class
or something, but we need to keep moving with the ball.
“We went to train on the beach last year, but it was frozen so we went to the casino instead, got the
bacon sandwiches in and organised a poker tournament, which they loved, but that’s not exactly
what you need to do before you play Manchester United, is it?”
Romanian ruin
Romanian minnows FC Timisoara have made international headlines this week thanks to their president, Marian Iancu,
and his foul mouth.
He engaged in a debate on the Contraatac TV show with Universitatea Craiova manager Victor Piturca last month, in
which he repeatedly asked him if he was gay and accused him of being a Satanist, adding:
“I’m convinced you’re gay! But we know that in Europe it is a virtue to be homosexual.”
Piturca, meanwhile, said Iancu was “200 or 300 kilos of s***” and “stayed in bed eating 50
pies and 25 sandwiches”.
Silviu Tudor Samuila, hosting the show, said: “We are trying in vain to establish pleasant
dialogue in Romanian football. People will be offended.”
“I’m just wondering if he’s homosexual,” Iancu said. “Mr Pirturca, do you hear me?”
The vice-president of the national broadcasting council (CNA) said the whole affair could
affect the moral development of the country’s children, and Piturca - who apologised - was
given a four-match suspension for his part in the debate. The Romanian league later reduced
it to one, leaving Iancu deeply displeased.
“I will complain to FIFA and UEFA,” he said, adding that Piturca had “insulted and discriminated against me”.
Emphasising his position as the victim, Iancu has also insulted “arrogant and ugly” FC Otelul Galati president Marius
Stan. “He tells me to keep quiet, but he’s the one that needs to shut it,” he said. “He is bent. All the world’s washing powder and Danube’s waters aren’t enough to clean this man’s character.”

Ronaldinho joins Melo in the Golden Bin
Forget the dull and predictable Ballon d’Or - although now it is
run in conjunction with FIFA
it could easily be awarded
to a randomly undeserving
country... er player. I meant
player - because the nominations for the least-coveted
award in football, the Bidone
d’Oro, have been released.
The ‘Golden Bin’, a mock
version of the Ballon d’Or
(Golden Ball), recognises Serie A’s worst performer during the
calendar year and last term’s winner, Juventus midfielder Felipe
Melo is back among the ten contenders along with AC Milan party
animal Ronaldinho and Sampdoria gutter-mouth Antonio Cassano.
The shortlist for 2010 is as follows: Adriano (Roma), Mancini
(Inter), Marco Materazzi (Inter), Ronaldinho (Milan), Amauri
(Juventus), Felipe Melo (Juventus), Fabio Cannavaro (Juventus)
Diego (Juventus), Antonio Cassano (Sampdoria), Adrian Mutu
(Fiorentina).
Although Melo will obviously be hoping one of his three Juve
team-mates on the list can prevent him from scooping the award
for a second year running, Brazilian forward Adriano has actually
already won it twice and could be the first player to complete an
unwanted hat-tick.

Guti arrested after crashing into a bus
Former Real Madrid model and parttime footballer Guti is carving out a new
career for himself in Turkey’s version
of Caught on Camera, after the Besiktas
midfielder was arrested and charged with
drink driving following a head-on collision with a bus.
The 34-year-old, who was apparently
seven times over the limit - something Guti denied in Spanish
newspaper Marca - drove his Range Rover on the wrong side of
the road and ploughed into a bus at 04:00 am on Monday morning
but escaped without injury.
Besiktas manager Bernd Schuster leapt to the defence of Guti and
claimed his player couldn’t possibly have been as inebriated as
claimed. “At 0.27 [seven times over the limit] a person can’t stand,
let alone drive,” Schuster said. “This is outrageous.”
Club president Yildrim Demironen labelled Guti a “great professional” after he turned up for training on time the following day.
The Turkish authorities disagreed, handing out a €270 fine and
six-month driving ban.

Stuttgart hires Labbadia as new coach
Stuttgart has appointed its third coach of the season, giving Bruno Labbadia the task of leading
the 2007 Bundesliga champion out of the relegation zone.
Labbadia replaces Jens Keller, who was fired after only two months in the job following Friday’s
2-1 loss to Hannover. Stuttgart has dropped to next-to-last in the Bundesliga after the defeat.
The 44-year-old Labbadia, a former striker who played for a number of top Bundesliga clubs
including Bayern Munich, was fired by Hamburger SV in April. He has also coached Bayer
Leverkusen.
Labbadia will be officially presented on Sunday.
Terry upbeat after Lane point
Chelsea captain John Terry vowed that Chelsea will soon be back to their best after their dramatic 1-1 draw at Tottenham on Sunday evening.
After Roman Pavlyuchenko had put Spurs ahead at White Hart Lane, Didier Drogba levelled for
the reigning champions when Heurelho Gomes failed to hold his drive.
The Ivorian then had a chance to win it for Chelsea in stoppage time, but, after taking spot-kick
duties ahead of Frank Lampard, hit a penalty straight at Gomes.
But Terry, back in the side after injury, feels that the out-of-form Blues proved that they will
soon be back firing on all cylinders.
“I thought we deserved to win the game, especially in the second half, we dominated,” he told
Sky Sports 1.
“That’s more like the Chelsea we know.
“It wasn’t mentioned (who would take the penalty). Didier was brave enough to stand
up and take it. You score some, you miss some.
“The hunger, the spirit, the determination; we pressed a lot better. The fans appreciate you can lose and draw, but when they don’t see the passion, that’s what hurts.
“We’re hopefully back now. We’ve got two huge games now. We’ve got Man United at the Bridge
and then we go to the Emirates (to play Arsenal).
“I’ve never doubted my players, the manager or the football club. We won the double last
year, let’s not forget that.”

Chilean miners arrive to watch Man United
Some of the Chilean miners rescued after two months trapped underground have arrived in England to watch Manchester
United play Arsenal in the Premier League.
The men flew into Manchester airport as guests of the 18-time English champions, who
host Arsenal on Monday.
They later posed for photographs with United great Bobby Charlton, who suggested inviting the miners to meet the players and watch a match while he was visiting Chile. Charlton is the son of a miner.
The trip was organized with Chilean wine producer Vina Concha y Toro, which sponsors
United.
Thirty-three miners were rescued in October after being trapped in the San Jose Mine in

He underwent a scan after the match that showed he had fractured the anterior wall of the
right maxillary sinus, an area just under the eye.
Borriello will wear a protective mask in Roma’s last match before the break, away to AC
Milan on Saturday.
So far this season Borriello has scored six league goals.

Team spokesman Eddy Ohis told The Associated Press the club thinks the cause was
heart failure but is not sure.
Ogoli was rushed from the stadium in an ambulance as the game continued. Ohis said
his team’s players went to the hospital after the game “to find the body.’’ He said the
team has requested an autopsy.
Ocean Boys is coached by former Barcelona and Nigeria midfielder Emmanuel Amunike.

Madrid cruises past Zaragoza Car racing beckons for retiring
keeper Abbondanzieri
to pressure Barcelona
Real Madrid cruised to a 3-1 victory
at last-place Real Zaragoza to keep
the pressure on Barcelona, which
must beat Real Sociedad later Sunday to stay Spanish leader.
Mesut Oezil, Cristiano Ronaldo
and Angel Di Maria scored for
Madrid to improve to 38 points
in the standings - one better than
Barcelona.
Zaragoza had chances early at La
Romareda stadium but Madrid took
control with Oezil’s 15th-minute
goal as the Germany playmaker
capped a quick breakout by tucking a
shot from the right under Leo Franco.
Franco was left flat-footed in the 44th as Ronaldo dipped his free kick
over the defensive wall and into the empty side of goal for the Portugal
international’s league-leading 17th goal.
Di Maria made it 3-0 three minutes after the break by shooting over
Franco as the Zaragoza goalkeeper raced out to try and cut off the Argentina forward after Xabi Alonso had played him clear into the area.
Ricardo Carvalho was booked for halting Nicolas Bertolo’s run inside
the area and Gabriel Fernandez stepped up to beat Iker Casillas from the
penalty spot for Zaragoza’s goal in the 54th.
Franco made saves from Karim Benzema - playing alone as striker with
Gonzalo Higuain out to injury - and Lassana Diarra, one of Madrid’s
standouts in midfield, to keep the hosts within two goals.
But Zaragoza coach Javier Aguirre remained without a victory after four
games.
Earlier, Fernando Llorente and David Lopez scored second-half goals as
Athletic Bilbao rallied to beat Espanyol 2-1 on Sunday and deny it the
chance to move into third place.
Espanyol striker Pablo Osvaldo was a threat throughout as the Argentine
striker capped a slick buildup in the 33rd minute by firing past Athletic
goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz to put the visitors on course for a first win at the
San Mames stadium since 2001.
Former Argentina and Boca Juniors
goalkeeper Roberto Abbondanzieri
may have a go at car racing after
retiring from soccer at the end of the
Club World Cup.
Abbondanzieri, reserve keeper
for Brazil’s Internacional, said on
Sunday he was quitting the game
after winning a string of titles with
Boca and helping Argentina reach
the 2006 World Cup quarter-finals in
Germany.
“Motor racing? I like it a lot, it’s
a passion of mine,” he told reporters before a training session with
South American champions Internacional.
“I’ve been to races, I’ve driven, all on the quiet. I’m only talking
now because football is ending (for me),” Abbondanzieri said laughing.
“It’s a different sort of adrenaline, it’s all or nothing.”
Internacional, who won the world title in Japan in 2006, meet TP
Mazembe of the Democratic Republic of Congo on Tuesday looking
for a place in their second final.
Abbondanzieri, having lost his place at Boca last year, joined Inter
and helped them win the Libertadores Cup, his fourth South American title having lifted it three times with Boca.
The 38-year-old known by his nickname Pato is, however, now a
reserve to Renan but he loves training and the chance to perhaps step
in to play once more.
“I’m enjoying every day as if it’s the last because it’s coming to an
end ... I don’t think I’ll feel sadness because I did all I wanted to
achieve and I know what life I want to lead after football, I’m ready,”
he said.
“It’s logical that with Boca I’d have liked to say goodbye in a packed
Bombonera but that’s football ... I had to come to Inter where I’ve
been treated as a Brazilian like them.”
