Miroslav Klose: "I said stop playing football because I no longer recognized it. Today, young people think about other things. As a child, I only thought about training and becoming someone in this sport that I always loved. At Lazio and in the national team, after each training session, I put myself in a bathtub full of ice to avoid injuries. But the young people on the team systematically refused.

When they saw me picking up the bags of balls to put them away at the end of training, they said to me 'But who tells you to do that?'. At that moment, I said to myself: "You're 20 years old and you can't help a 60-year-old worker? They care more about whether their cleats go with their socks. That's why I said stop. The football I knew no longer exists.

Today's young people think first of cars, contracts with their sponsors, and their new crampons. It is only after all these things that football comes. For them, their image is the most important thing.
Whereas for me, all that mattered was football in its purest form."

go the gunners
 
Form is getting harder to read!
A HUGE win for Central Coast Mariners ends their six-game winless run as they decisively defeat Adelaide United 4 blot!
Three goals in the opening 22 minutes had them on their way to a perfect start to 2026!

The Boro start the New Year with a narrow 0-1 loss to Derby.

Middlesbrough dropped out of the Championship automatic promotion spots after Bobby Clark stunned the Teessiders with a second-half winner for Derby County.

It took a string of saves from Jacob Widell Zetterstrom to give the Rams hope of upstaging Boro, with the Sweden international denying Hayden Hackney, Tommy Conway and Delano Burgzorg either side the break.

WHAT A GAME! 10-man Wellington Phoenix seal a memorable away win in dramatic fashion defeating Brisbane Roar 3 nil, and overcoming their own red card when Armiento was given his marching orders in the 38th minute.

Might be our best ever backs to the wall game played.

Definitely our best game played in the last couple of years.

Brian Brobbey's equaliser for the Black Cats cancels out Spurs' Ben Davies' opener as the game ended in a 1 all draw between Sunderland and Tottenham Hotspurs.
Joao Palhinha's late header flew agonisingly wide for Spurs, leading to more loud jeers at the final whistle, the sound of frustration, while players on the field were involved in a moment of tension too.
Both teams remain in mid-table, with Sunderland three points ahead of Tottenham
