The draw for the UEFA Europa League quarterfinal stage:
First legs to be played April 4, return legs on April 11.
Lazio defender Luciano Zauri rescued the granddaughter of Poland’s Football Association president Zbigniew Boniek from a well she fell into at a restaurant in Rome.
Not sure how you fall into a well at a restaurant, but what a heroic tale regardless.
Oops!
Panathinaikos’ Giourkas Seitaridis scores for Lazio with a back pass into his own empty net.Sadly, Seitaridis scored the match winner.
We love fails!
REAL FAIR PLAY!!
Germany striker Miroslav Klose has received a fair play award after admitting a goal he had scored in the Italian league was a handball.
Neither two “fair” goals of Klose could help out Germany against Sweden…crazy!
He now has scored 67 goals for the German National Team so there is just one goal left for Klose to tie the legendary all time goal record of Gerd Mueller …Go for it Miro!
Lazio striker Miroslav Klose endeared himself to his Napoli opponents, and likely the rest of Italy, with his act of sportsmanship on Wednesday.
Barely three minutes into the Serie A clash, Klose touched a corner past Napoli keeper Morgan De Sanctis to give Lazio an early lead. Napoli players were furious, and justifiably so after replays showed what the referee missed: a clear handball from the German striker.
Klose initially celebrated before coming clean to the referee, who spared the forward a yellow card and shook his hand. Napoli were equally grateful and congratulating their opponent as warmly as the Lazio players were moments earlier.
Klose and Lazio’s reward? A crushing 3-0 defeat.
Pre-game at Spurs v Lazio!
