||
|
Syria switched places with Japan at the top of Group C in the 3rd Round of the Asian qualifiers for the 2012 London Olympic Games after a speculative strike from captain Ahmad Al Salih beat Gonda, in the away goal, a little too easily as the game entered injury time giving Syria a 2-1 win.

FIFA Rule Change Proposals / Ideas. |
||
|
When the International FA board meets on March 3rd there are some interesting proposals to consider: 1) Allow a 4th substitute in games that go into extra time, "in order to maintain the technical level until the 120th minute and to protect the health of the players." 2) EIGHT different goal-line technology systems to be discussed with a view to taking one to further discussions. 3) The board will also be looking at the five-referee system, with additional assistants beside each goal. As discussed here recently, the board will also consider amending the "triple punishment" of sanctioning certain fouls with a penalty kick, red card AND a suspension. Tests at the 2011 Copa America, where referees used short-life spray on the grass to mark the 10 yards for defensive walls at free-kicks will also be studied. If any changes are sanctioned they would normally take effect on 1 July. Any changes would need six of the eight available votes. Each British association (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) has one vote and FIFA officials have four. |

This is in Dutch with English subtitles. Interestingly, though, 194cm Mike switches to English quite often, without thinking .... must be nice to be trilingual! |

Honda Deal at Lazio Falls Through - Stays at Moscow! |
||
|
So it's all over .... Keisuke Honda did NOT sign for Lazio, even though various Japanese (and world) papers and sites told you ... apparently, according to my sources, Honda was OK with personal terms, contract details, but Lazio wanted to spread the payments. This appeared to be the main sticking point and, with CSKA demanding a one-time payment the deal fell through. For a "fringe" player (and recently injury prone) it seemed a decent deal for CSKA, however it happened, and Honda - according to Nikkan Sports, anyway (!) expressed a desire to go to Italy: "I want to be a Lazio player........ my desire is clear – I want to play in the Italian championship." So, it's all over for now - or is it.... now the "silly season" transfer window is closed, it's "emergency loan" time. Perhaps, the story isn't over yet! |

Verdy's Sugawara commits "professional foul" after 5 seconds, gets red card ... |
||
|
... and doesn't complain about it. Friend of JSoccer.Com Tomo Sugawara won't like to be reminded of this incident, but, hey, why not. Was discussing timing of cards... always some commentator (espeically ex-players on Premier League games!) will say the ref can't give a card "this early" ... timing of the incident should not matter - and here is proof from the J.League! |

Chong Tese to FC Cologne / Honda not to Lazio (yet!) |
