English version. Der Kaiser pays his tribute. Few players in the history of world football can be considered as equals to the great Bobby Moore. Franz Beckenbauer is one of those players. Just like his English contemporary, Beckenbauer enjoyed a glittering career with Bayern Munich and West Germany, earning a reputation for being the greatest defender his country has ever produced. Like Moore, he lifted the FIFA World Cup as his country's captain, doing so on home turf in 1974, before repeating the feat as a manager in 1990 - becoming the first individual to complete that amazing double. Throughout his career 'Der Kaiser' - 'The Emperor' - regularly came up against West Ham United and England's greatest centre-half, most notably at the 1966 and 1970 FIFA World Cup finals and later in the North American Soccer League.
As players and as human beings, the pair developed a deep respect and friendship. Twenty years after Moore's passing, Beckenbauer still holds his old adversary in the highest possible esteem.

Ashley Cole: Has hit 100 caps - but who will remember? History was made on Wednesday night with Ashley Cole claiming his 100th cap for England and, whilst the evening will live long in the memory for the result, the fact it was a night of historic importance for Cole and English football will probably be consigned to the annals of history and will only feature in pub quiz nights of the future. Many onlookers will have been disappointed that Cole was not given the captaincy or even the opportunity to lead out the team to mark the remarkable achievement. Instead, we witnessed Steven Gerrard handed his 'golden cap' after achieving the same feat against Sweden in their last game, and Ronaldinho was given a shirt by the Brazil federation for a match they considered his 100th game.
Cole? Shilton was the first non-skipper given that honour, as the previous centurions Billy Wright, Bobby Moore and Bobby Charlton all had the armband on their century moments. Headlines The reasons?

Carlton Cole celebrates after levelling for West Ham Mohamed Diame and Modibo Maiga fired West Ham to a 3-1 victory over Chelsea at Upton Park to increase the pressure on new Blues manager Rafael Benitez just three games into his reign at Stamford Bridge. The Hammers were second best throughout the first half and were fortunate to be only 1-0 down after Juan Mata scored the first goal of Benitez's tenure, but Sam Allardyce's men were transformed after the break and levelled through Carlton Cole before half-time substitute Diame and late arrival Maiga found the net in the last five minutes. Chelsea made the perfect start when they took the lead with only 13 minutes on the clock as Victor Moses received possession out on the right and threaded a pass through the West Ham defence for Fernando Torres, with the Spain international advancing to the goal-line before cutting the ball back into the path of Mata to clinically side-foot into the bottom corner.
Best of the match. El West Ham desmonta al Chelsea de Rafa Benítez. Ampliar El West Ham desmontó con una segunda parte magistral al Chelsea de Rafa Benítez que, a pesar de adelantarse en el marcador gracias al español Juan Mata, desaprovechó sus ocasiones y encajó una contundente derrota (3-1). Después de dominar el partido durante toda la primera parte gracias a un magnífico Mata, los "blues" pagaron caro no haber resuelto el encuentro antes y acabaron sucumbiendo ante un West Ham mucho más aguerrido en el segundo tiempo para encadenar su séptimo partido sin ganar, el tercero con Benítez en el banquillo.
Con los españoles Juan Mata, César Azpilicueta y el discutido Fernando Torres en el once titular, los "blues" empezaron el partido con mayor intensidad en ataque que en los últimos choques y la sobriedad en defensa que caracteriza todos los equipos dirigidos por el técnico español.

Celtic players: Celebrate their famous win over Barcelona Celtic recorded a famous success against Barcelona with a 2-1 victory over the Spanish giants at Parkhead. Goals from Victor Wanyama and substitute Tony Watt earned Celtic a memorable win as they marked their 125th anniversary in style. Lionel Messi pulled a goal back in stoppage time, but Celtic held on to take all three points and boost their chances of reaching the knockout stages. Celtic, with seven points from four games, two less than leaders Barca, travel to Benfica before hosting Spartak Moscow in their final group fixture and will surely fancy their chances of reaching the knockout stages of the competition. Regardless of the Scottish champions' progress in Europe, the night will live long in the memory of the 60,000 who made their way to Celtic Park on a sodden night.
However, the home fans were unconcerned about that when Wanyama gave them a sensational lead. Así es el tráiler de 'La bandera más larga del mundo' Sin Cristiano no hay Liga. Inglaterra y el trauma de los penaltis. Para Inglaterra, llegar a la tanda de penaltis no supone ninguna lotería. Ya sea por la falta de confianza o por el estado del césped, los ingleses tan sólo han ganado una tanda en un gran campeonato, perdiendo las otras seis ocasiones en las que se jugaron el pase desde los 11 metros.
Frente a Italia se volvió a repetir el trauma que atormenta a la historia de Inglaterra en los campeonatos. Desde 1990, los penaltis han sido sinónimo de eliminación para los ingleses salvo contadas excepciones, que se despidieron, bien por no superar la fase de grupos —Suecia 1992 y Holanda y Bélgica 2000— o bien tras caer en octavos de final como en el último Mundial de Sudáfrica. 1990 Alemania les dejó sin final Tras llegar con empate a uno al final del partido, los penaltis se olvidaron de Inglaterra con los fallos de Pearce y Waddle que dieron el pase a la final a Alemania Federal por 4-3.
La excelencia hecha modestia. Hace 19 años el Barcelona tocaba el cielo en Wembley. Era la primera vez que el conjunto azulgrana se proclamaba campeón de Europa y ponía fin a una dueda histórica que había durado demasiado tiempo. Entre los afortunados, un joven de 21 años de aspecto débil cuya fuerza estaba en un lugar que no alcanza la vista. Ese chaval contaba con un cerebro especial, de esos que ven lo que otros ni imaginan, que piensan dos segundos antes que el resto. Se trataba de Pep Guardiola. El flaco centrocampista de Santpedor era la extensión de Cruyff en el campo. La apuesta de Laporta fue arriesgada, casi homicida.
Valga como ejemplo su particular ruta antes de embarcarse en la aventura del filial. Mandamiento: no creerse más que nadie, simplemente demostrarlo Fin a la era 'Ronie' El caso es que ahí estaba Guardiola, al frente de un nuevo proyecto en el club de su vida con el título de entrenador oliendo a nuevo. Comenzaba así una nueva vertiente del 'cruyffismo'. Videos from Leo Messi. Los 50 goles del mejor Pichichi de la historia.
