Euro 2008: Dorin Goian Of Romania Gets Injured

Dorin GoianRomanian defender Dorin Goian injured himself during a training session ahead of Euro 2008 and made himself uncertain for the tournament. He injured a tendon during the practise. He plays for the country's premier club Steaua Bucharest.

Ganguly and Dravid Left Out of Asia Cup

Its totally a young side for India going for Aisa Cup in Bangladesh. Two new faces for the one day squad has been included: Yusuf Pathan and Pragyan Ojha. Sachin Tendulkar has already opted out of the tourament due to injury, but the selectors totally ignored Rahul Dravid and Saurav Ganguly. They have also left Harbhajan Singh out of the team as he has been banned from 5 one day internationals due to slapping of his team mate Sreeshanth.

I just simply can't make out why Dhoni & Co. left out Saurav Ganguly. If they pick a team on the basis of performance, then I would suggest Mr. Dhoni to look at the 2 innngs DADA played in the IPL...one against Deccan Chargers where he made 91 and the other he made 86 not out against Punjan Kings XI. M.S.Dhoni himself did not put up any remarkable performance other than his team is playing in semis.

Mr.Dhoni, I would like to suggest you one thing...You get what you give.

The final Squad of India for the Asia Cup:

M S Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Irfan Pathan, Robin Uthappa, Suresh Raina, S Sreesanth, Yusuf Pathan, Ishant Sharma, Praveen Kumar, RP Singh, Piyush Chawla, Pragyan Ojha.

The Independent Reports On EITM...Again

EITM made "news" in The Independent once again. They followed up on their previous story about North Point High School from Friday.

It seems that staff writer, Joany Nazdin knows nothing about Elliot or even the definition of a radio personality for that matter...
"Radio personality 'Elliot in the Morning' called Katie O’Malley Simpson on Friday morning to continue the previous day’s discussion about claims made by North Point High School students."
Need I say more? Click here to read the story, or simply go to EITMonline.com and listen to the audio just like Joany did.

All Fixed!

Ricardo Montolivo and Inzaghi Out Of Italy's Euro 2008 Squad

Riccardo MontolivoItaly declared their Euro 2008, 23 member squad. Initially coach Roberto Donadoni named 24 palyers to his training camp, but cut Riccardo Montolivo before submitting 23 member squad to the officials.

He was a regular member of Italy's under-21 squad, but made just one appearence for the senior Italy team.

The final Italy squad for Euro 2008:

Goalkeepers: Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus), Marco Amelia (Livorno), Morgan De Sanctis (Sevilla).

Defenders: Christian Panucci (AS Roma), Fabio Grosso (Lyon), Fabio Cannavaro (Real Madrid), Marco Materazzi (Inter Milan), Gianluca Zambrotta (FC Barcelona), Andrea Barzagli (Palermo), Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus).

Midfielders: Gennaro Gattuso (AC Milan), Andrea Pirlo (AC Milan), Massimo Ambrosini (AC Milan), Daniele De Rossi (AS Roma), Simone Perrotta (AS Roma), Mauro Camoranesi (Juventus), Alberto Aquilani (AS Roma).

Forwards: Luca Toni (Bayern Munich), Antonio Di Natale (Udinese), Fabio Quagliarella (Udinese), Alessandro Del Piero (Juventus), Marco Borriello (Genoa), Antonio Cassano (Sampdoria).

No Inzaghi in Italy squad... I think they will hardly cross the league stages.

Chelsea: Avram Grant hires Anthony Julius for better deal

Avram Grant ChelseaAfter the controversial sacking, Avram Grant has appointed higly reputed solicitor Anthony Julius to negotiate with Chelsea. The Israeli is unhappy with the payoff offered by Peter Kenyon (Chelsea chief executive).

Grant was offered 5.2 million pound as compensation by Chelsea. Grant hired Anthony Julius to help him secure a better deal with Chelsea.

Teacher Investigation Prompted By Discussion On 'Elliot In The Morning'!

A discussion on EITM Thursday about a North Point High School teacher whose student told Elliot that she found inappropriate photos of her teacher on a classroom computer, has prompted the school to investigate.

The story made headlines Friday when The Independent published a story about the investigation.

The 16-year-old North Point student called Elliot Friday morning saying she was returning to class and didn't want her teacher to be mad at her. She said she had been advised not comment on the photos until the investigation is complete.

Her friend, who also saw the photos, called Elliot saying that he had been advised not to comment as well. The teacher's brother-in-law called to say that the students were lying about the content of the photos, even though he hadn't seen them for himself.

Katie O'Malley-Simpson, the spokeswoman for Charles County public schools, called Elliot only to say that the administration is investigating the matter.

The unidentified "radio host" in the article is...Whitney!

Tyler will have a full recap, including audio up soon...
