And was the penalty deserved for the Swedish? What happened there? What did the Danish player (who was sent off) do there?

[BonzaiJoe]

I'm not sure the penalty was fair, depends on the rules. The danish player, Christian Poulsen, hit Rosenberg on the stomach, so he should definitely be sent off, but it happened far away from the ball. In the penalty area though... I guess it was fair enough.

Yeah this time I say the same, skid off Fagyi.

Second class derby:

Ferencv?ros - KBSC 4-0 in half-time. My previous tip (7-1) is coming closer and closer...

As far as I know, if the ball is in play, it doesn't matter if the foul is close to the ball, the referee has to call it. In this case penalty was well given to Sweden.

As for Aarhus GF, as you may remember, last season they were relegated to the 2nd league (1st Division) after 29 years in the 1st league (Super league).

Now, as the season nears the end, the promotion battle is looking very exciting for AGF! After the other main contenders, Fredericia, lost to Herf?lge this Sunday, AGF has the chance to get a 3-point lead before the last 3 rounds, which will increase the chance of promotion to about 90% (but AGF is certainly capable of missing such an opportunity).

(purple: other local teams, which you should all also cheer on )
The last four rounds:

N?stved - AGF
AGF - ?lstykke
Kolding - AGF
AGF - HIK

As for the Super League, FC K?benhavn won the championship easily, even though they lost the pace at the end (championship was secured five rounds before the end of the season). Surprise of the season was that Br?ndby only finished 6th, after having finished 1st or 2nd every year since 1994...

HIK in the last round... lucky!

[BonzaiJoe]

Yes, but away vs Kolding in the 2nd last round will be very hard - they have the best score in the league for the spring season (27 points in 12 matches, 8 3 1), and they will probably still have a (big or small) chance to be promoted.

Anyway, the good thing is: either AGF returns to the Super League, or a REALLY weird team like Kolding or Fredericia will get the promotion, which is kind of funny.

[Duplode]

Now Fredericia is quite an amusing name - should it mean land of Frederick ?

The ball was far away from them when Zidane hit Matterazzi (final match, WC 2002), Zidane got a well deserved red card anyway. Same thing for this penalty IMO.

[BonzaiJoe]

Yes, Christian Poulsen got a red card too, AND a penalty against him, unlike Zidane... (was there a free kick in the world cup final?). But I guess it's still fair enough...

[Krys TOFF]

I don't remember if there was a free kick, but there should have been one. If the fault is made in the "surface", then free kick ir replaced by penalty. Logical.

Roberto Carlos goes to Fenerbahce. It was really time to change, he's too old to be in Real Madrid.

[Krys TOFF]

As long as your name can make Real Madrid sell expensive t-shirts, you're never too old to play in Real Madrid.
