Yet still more ‘fag’ soccer tweets. The Football Association takes more action.

Two more players have been brought up on charges by the Football Association for sending out homophobic tweets on Twitter. Are these guys ever going to learn? Federico Macheda (right) is a hot little number who is with Queens Park Rangers, on loan from Manchester United. We couldn’t find his original anti-gay tweet (he probably deleted it…or it’s in Italian), but we did find his “wasn’t me” non-apology:

Next on the list is Nile Ranger, a striker for Newcastle United who took to Twitter to call teammate Andy Mogwo a faggot:

Both of these players have been brought up on charges by the Football Association. The only thing worse than their casual homophobia is their stupidity. How can you, as a public figure, still be tweeting these words? Crazy.

Manchester United makes its presence known

Manchester United won its Premier League game Wednesday with a 2-0 win against Portsmouth. Wayne Rooney’s early marking on the game and a late goal from Michael Carrick (pictured) sent below-par United back to the top spot ahead of Liverpool in the Premier League by three points.

Man UTD. has 74 points with six matches left; the team lost its game on Sunday against Everton in a penalty shootout.

Man. UTD. has been one of the English team I’ve come to love since I was an eager 3-year-old playing the game for the first time. They have remained an inspiration for me for the sport.

Michael Carrick scored as Manchester United beat Portsmouth 2-0 on Wednesday to regain top spot over Liverpool in Premier League.
