Did a team of imposters play international match  It is possible that a fake Togo team played a football match against Bahrain this month.  Togo football authorities are exploring the possibility that imposters lost a 3-0 match to Bahrain.  This is confirmed by the fact that Togo says it never sent its national team to play a game against Bahrain on 7 September at the national stadium in Riffa.

FIFA has been asked to investigate.

Bahrain officials said that nothing appeared unseemly in the arrangement of the match, as it was all done through the usual channels and with the services of an agent they have known for a long time.

It wasn’t until play actually began that the Bahrain team noticed peculiarities.  The alleged Togo imposters seemed unfit to play the entire ninety minutes and the poor quality of their performance was surprising.  The Bahrain team won easily and found the game to be boring.

Bahrain Football Association spokesmen report that all procedures and processes where handled entirely up to proper guidelines, with the Togolese players even providing their passports.

Togo’s sports minister, Christophe Tchao, said that no one in his country new anything about the match and vowed to determine exactly what had happened.

Meanwhile, Bahrain Head Coach, Josef Hickersberger, expressed dismay and irritation over the situation.  He had wanted to get good practice in for his team as they prepare to participate in the West Asian Championship.  He felt the match with the fake Togo team was nothing more than wasted effort and opportunity.

MPs loose patience with football  MPs are asking the government to take a closer look at the way football is governed as they asked the government to support its promise to push for rule reform in terms of ownerships, football financing, and involvement by supporters.

Labour MP Steve Rotheram led the lively debate which took place in Westminster Hall, which is nearby to both Goodison Park and Anfield Park.

It was possibly one of the most attended debates held at this location in the last few decades as the Manchester United Supporters Trust actively recruited MPs attendance by sending out handwritten letters of invitation and concern.

Although the debate itself was in no way a definite sign that new legislation would be worked into the books, the fact that so many MPs were in attendance at the open session signalled that MPs are willing to listen to what the football community has to say.

Among those who travelled to Westminster Hall for the event were the former Culture Secretary Andy Burnham, Sports Minister Hugh Robertson, and former Sports Ministers Kate Hoey and Gerry Sutcliffe.

The debate was just one more piece in the movement that is aimed to make the Premier League and the Football Association reign in the large amount of debt that is now found throughout English football teams which has upset many supporters within major football cities such as Liverpool, Manchester, Portsmouth, and many others.  It also was an opportunity to see what Sports Minister Robertson had to say on the issue after promising his supporters that he would help reform the football governance rules.

The “affair” that footballer Wayne Rooney has recently been accused of has stirred up the press like no other, it has been widely reported that the player saw a prostitute on many occasions in recent years, including when his wife Colleen was pregnant last year.

Even Rooney’s cousin has updated her Facebook page with a humorous comment on the event, stating her aversion to the fact that Rooney paid for a prostitute while “other footballs have girls begging to have sex with them”.

The prostitute that Rooney has been seeing is called “Premiership Jen”, and even she has spoken out about an incident in which the footballer asked her to come back to his home, saying that paying her to go back to his home when his wife was out would be “taking it a step too far”.

Many people have since sympathized publically for Rooney’s wife, Colleen. Some people have told her to send her husband away, and with her valuable business assets, she could likely handle the situation financially away from her husband.

Embarrassingly, Wayne Rooney was exposed back in 2008 for participating in sexual relations with a prostitute in her late 40s who was dressed in a tight catsuit. Still, the footballer appears to have not much going for him beyond this current situation, with a poor performance in the World Cup, and a reported poor performance in bed. Still, with millions of pounds in tow, it will be interesting to see him make more tabloid appearances in the future.

Sara Carbonero more than just a WAG  Sara Carbonero may be known as a WAG, but like her husband Iker Casillas she certainly has a lot more going on than simply hanging onto the arm of the star skipper.

Carbonero at age 26 is employed as a television presented for the Spanish television station Telecinco and is worth a few million pounds on her own without the aid of her husband.  Of course, the fact that she is stunning does not hurt.

Outside of her brilliant shape and features she does hold a journalism degree from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and loves sports journalism in particular which only makes it fitting that she would be the girlfriend of a star footballer.

While Carbonero has been held responsible for distracting Spain a handful of times on the football field and even blamed for causing Spain’s loss to Switzerland in the World Cup even though they went on to win the championship this is not her best moment in the spotlight.  Instead, her best moment was probably when the magazine FHM USA named her The Sexiest Reporter in the World which is a title that is hard to beat.

As the ‘Posh’ of the journalism world, Carbonero has earned her own right as a WAG and managed to keep the same squeaky clean image by staying focused on her job and staying far away from the rumour mill due to her excellent professional behaviour at all times.
