The German club – in the round of 16 for the fifth time in seven seasons – come into this tie having finished first in Group A, while Tottenham claimed the runners-up spot in Group B thanks to a memorable 1-1 draw at Barcelona on matchday six. Previous meetings • All four of the sides' past contests have come in the past three years. • In the 2015/16 UEFA Europa League round of 16, Dortmund were 3-0 winners in the home first leg – Marco Reus scoring twice – before a 2-1 success at White Hart Lane despite Heung-Min Son's goal for the home side. • Tottenham turned the tables in last season's UEFA Champions League group stage, winning 3-1 at Wembley – Son opening the scoring with Harry Kane adding two more – and 2-1 in Germany, the same two Spurs players again on the scoresheet.

  • The FA V Chelsea FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC
    IN THE MATTER OF A FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION INDEPENDENT REGULATORY COMMISSION BETWEEN: THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION The Association - and - (1) CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB (2) TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FOOTBALL CLUB The Participants ________________________________________________________ WRITTEN REASONS FOR THE DECISION OF THE INDEPENDENT REGULATORY COMMISSION FOLLOWING THE HEARING ON 10TH MAY 2016 _________________________________________________________ 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 On 2nd May 2016, Chelsea FC played Tottenham Hotspur FC in a Premier League match at Stamford Bridge. The outcome of the match was potentially of great significance to the race to become Premier League champions for the 2015/16 season; anything other than a win for Tottenham would confirm Leicester City FC as champions. And so it proved to be; Tottenham were 2-0 up at half-time, but Chelsea scored two second half goals to draw the match 2-2. 1.2 The game was ill-tempered and at times threatened to get out of control. The match referee, Mark Clattenburg, issued nine cautions to Tottenham players, a Premier League record for a single match, and three to Chelsea. There were also three mass confrontations between the opposing teams, another unprecedented and highly dubious record. 1.3 Mr. Clattenburg prepared Extraordinary Incident Reports following the match, which may be summarised as follows: (i) Players from both teams were involved an in altercation in the 45th minute, resulting in one player from each team being cautioned. Although he did not witness the incident at the time, it was subsequently brought to Mr. Clattenburg’s attention that a Tottenham player, Mousa Dembele, had his hand in the face of Diego Costa of Chelsea and appeared to gouge with his fingers towards the eyes of the latter.

  • Marco Sanna, Il Guerriero Ichnuso Di Claudio Nucci 27 Marzo 2021 – 11:38
    1 “Album dei ricordi blucerchiati”: Marco Sanna, il guerriero ichnuso di Claudio Nucci 27 Marzo 2021 – 11:38 Genova. Sardegna e Liguria, si interfacciano da secoli sul mare; sono due popoli, che hanno nel proprio background una convivenza tra pescatori e contadini, magari alternando un lavoro all’altro, a seconda delle stagioni… ecco il perché di una simbiosi ed empatia fra genovesi e sardi, tali da affinare caratteristiche culturali simili. Facile, quindi, che l’un l’altro possano trovarsi bene, quando le opportunità della vita li portano a “giocare in trasferta”… E’ il caso di Marco Sanna, sardo nel profondo dell’anima, ma che, nei tre anni passati nellaSampdoria, ha saputo integrarsi perfettamente nella quotidianità della vita genovese. Piedi ben radicati a terra, Sanna trova nel Tempio il suo trampolino di lancio, per farsi, giovanissimo, un nome in Serie C2 e non accusa il triplice salto di categoria, quando a 23 anni, dopo 6 anni di gavetta, lo chiama il Cagliari del presidente Cellino e nemmeno si spaventa al primo incontro, in sede, con il dirigenteGigi Riva, il mitico ‘Rombo di tuono’, non solo il più forte attaccante della storia italiana, ma autentical’ icona rossoblù. In quel Cagliari, il campione è Enzo Francescoli (73 partite e 17 goal con ‘la celeste uruguaja’), ma l’anima della squadra è rappresentata dai“Quattro mori”, quelli della bandiera dell’isola: un poker di “volti bendati”, costituito da capitanGianfranco Matteoli, Vittorio Pusceddu, Gianluca Festa ed appuntoMarco Sanna: un quadrilatero di ferro, capace di incarnare lo spirito sardo. E’ Carlo Mazzone, a farlo esordire in Coppa Italia, contro il Milan (in uno 0-3, che vede in campo Van Basten, Rijkaard e Papin, ma non Gullit, costretto in panchina dalle regole di allora, che permettevano di scendere in campo, solo a tre dei quattro stranieri tesserati ed è sempre il grande “Sor Carletto” a lanciarlo anche in Serie A, in un Cagliari- Roma (vinto 1-0), mettendolo a marcare un certo Giuseppe Giannini, ex numero numero 10 della Nazionale azzurra… mica male per un esordiente.

  • Where Did It All Go Wrong for Grassroots Football? August 22, 2016 1.25Pm BST Luca Bruno/Shutterstock
    Where did it all go wrong for grassroots football? August 22, 2016 1.25pm BST Luca Bruno/Shutterstock Make no mistake about it: English football is entering new terrain. New media investments, and the changing roles and structure of clubs, has led to football rapidly changing both economically and culturally – despite the actual game itself remaining relatively stable – and right now English football should be at its pinnacle. But on an international stage, England is still in a vacuum of underachievement and failed expectations. This summer after another early exit from the European Championships, the then England Manager Roy Hodgson and the Football Association (FA) parted company. The FA looked to the powerful “super-agent” Jorge Mendez for support recruiting Hodgson’s successor. Sam Allardyce was lured from Sunderland. Allardyce’s portfolio shows no major trophies in his career achievements and his appointment was greeted by a large chorus of critics. His style of play is contradictory to the FA’s new playing and coaching philosophy, which endorses ball retention. Allardyce endorses lots of long balls, meaning many within see Allardyce’s appointment as a backwards step for English football’s development. The FA, not known for wise decisions and long-term vision, is currently under pressure to reform it’s approach to grassroots football or face government funding sanctions. This is not the first time pressure has been applied to the FA – it previously received funding penalties of £1.6m from Sport England, for failing to grow grassroots football participation – with evidence showing a decline in participation in football across the UK (see figure 1).

  • A Study of Institutional Racism in Football
    THE BALL IS FLAT THE BALL IS FLAT: A STUDY OF INSTITUTIONAL RACISM IN FOOTBALL By ERIC POOL, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Eric Pool, September 2010 MASTER OF ARTS (2010) McMaster University (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Ball is Flat: A Study ofInstitutional Racism in Football AUTHOR: Eric Pool, B.A. (University of Waterloo) SUPERVISOR: Professor Chandrima Chakraborty NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 127 ii Abstract: This project examines the ways in which the global mobility of players has unsettled the traditional nationalistic structure of football and the anxious responses by specific football institutions as they struggle to protect their respective political and economic hegemonies over the game. My intention is to expose the recent institutional exploitation of football's "cultural power" (Stoddart, Cultural Imperialism 650) and ability to impassion and mobilize the masses in order to maintain traditional concepts of authority and identity. The first chapter of this project will interrogate the exclusionary selection practices of both the Mexican and the English Football Associations. Both institutions promote ethnoracially singular understandings of national identity as a means of escaping disparaging accusations of "artificiality," thereby protecting the purity and prestige of the nation, as well as the profitability of the national brand. The next chapter will then turn its attention to FIFA's proposed 6+5 policy, arguing that the rule is an institutional effort by FIF A to constrain and control the traditional structure of football in order to preserve the profitability of its highly "mediated and commodified spectacle" (Sugden and Tomlinson, Contest 231) as well as assert its authority and autonomy in the global realm.
