Cambridge United 3 Burton Albion 0

 I am a bit late in catching up with this game from last Saturday (21/8), and we are only a couple of days from the next home Cambridge game where the Us take on Bolton at the Abbey.

In the game with Burton, the Brewers went into the game on fine form and must have fancied their chances against Cambridge who are one of the favourites for the drop and haven't exactly been knocking the goals in. They did get a bit of a help in this game though! Both teams had chances in the second half with Cambridge feeling like the most likely to score despite Burton having more of a threat up front. The deadlock was broken on 51 minutes when Sam Smith scored for Cambridge. We still didn't feel too confident though, but on 73 minutes Thomas Harmer put the ball in his own goal to give Cambridge a 2-0 lead. Just 6 minutes later the hapless Harmer got his second at the wrong end when a George Williams cross (or shot) took a massive deflection off him to give what at least on paper looked like an impressive 3-0 win for Cambridge.



 Above are some photos from the game with the top one being the celebrations for the third goal.

Boca Juniors shirt history

Image
The first game that I will be at on Sunday sees Boca Juniors take on Paris Saint Germain. I have always wanted to go and see Boca Juniors and I can't see me getting over to Argentina any time in the near future, so I am going to have to make do with seeing them in North London. On my travels I have met plenty of Boca fans, but funnily enough they have all been Russian or Ukrainian. I am a bit disappointed that Martin Palermo has now retired, but I am still looking forward to it. Obviously to do justice to the club history of Boca Juniors I'd probably have to write a book, so here's a quick history of their kit and colours instead. When Boca were formed in 1905 they originally played in pink, but obviously came round to thinking that this was a bad idea and changed to a light blue colour later in the year. They didn't stick with this shirt for very long either and for the 3rd time in a year decided to change the shirt colour, this time to black and white stripes. The fol

shirt history AS Roma

Image
Roma were the club that I followed in Italy and although they are most famous for wearing red and yellow, hence the nickname giallo rosso the club didn't always wear those colours. AS Roma were formed in 1927 by a merger between SS Alba-Audace and Fortitudo-Pro Roma SGS with Italo Foschi being the driving force behind the merger. AS Roma could also trace their lineage back to FBC Roma who were formed in 1901 and who wore red and yellow, but the first shirts they wore took the red, white and blue of Fortitudo-Pro Roma. Roma soon established themselves at the top table of Italian football and in 1931 finished runners up to Juventus and by now had settled on red and yellow as their colours. However, you'll have to take my word for it because the picture below shows Attilio Ferraris in black and white. In 1942 Roma went one better and won their first Scudetto with Amadeo Amadei scoring 18 goals to help them secure the title. Pictured below he is wearing the change shirt with a repl

Sud Tribune, Dortmund

Image
The Sud Tribune at Westfalen is famed for the noise and support that it gives the BVB team. They started up early and carried on until well after the match had finished despite the poor result. At the end the team looked suitably disappointed when they thanked the fans. Nobody apart from the Hannover fans probably expected 96 to win. Hopefully better times for the Sud Tribune are just around the corner.
