http://www.crossbarchallengeblog.com A guide to the Soccer AM Crossbar Challenge Mon, 07 Jul 2008 01:17:34 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en They may not have won Euro 2008 but can the Portugeezers be more successful when they take on the Crossbar Challenge. This video is part of a "Football against Cancer" event and is in Portuguese. http://www.crossbarchallengeblog.com/portugal/ This is a strange one. Putney Town FC take on the crossbar challenge, but I've no idea if this was ever shown on TV or not. I've certainly never seen it. http://www.crossbarchallengeblog.com/putney-town-fc/ The O'd take on the challenge in this video from 2005/6. http://www.crossbarchallengeblog.com/leyton-orient/ The second city's second team ;) take on the Crossbar Challenge. http://www.crossbarchallengeblog.com/birmingham-city/ Almost a year to the day after the first attempt, Grimsby Town again take on the Crossbar Challenge. This time, instead of taking part in the rain, it's bright sunshine and blue skies. Will the good weather lift the performance of the Mariners? http://www.crossbarchallengeblog.com/grimsby-town-2/ There hasn't been an update for a while as there's not been much to post. However, here's a best of video to keep your crossbar challenge interest up. http://www.crossbarchallengeblog.com/best-of-crossbar-challenge/ An old clip which I must have missed at the time, the Tykes take on the Crossbar Challenge. http://www.crossbarchallengeblog.com/barnsley/ Another video which is not the proper Crossbar Challenge, but too good not to post. AC Milan star Andrea Pirlo attempts to hit the bar from the edge of the area as part of this UEFA training video. He's not bad either! http://www.crossbarchallengeblog.com/andrea-pirlo/ This video was recently shown on Sky TV's Soccer AM, watch it and find out who this quote is about - "He was also the only Oldham player to hit the crossbar in the Soccer A.M. Crossbar Challenge on Saturday 11th August 2007". http://www.crossbarchallengeblog.com/oldham-althletic/ Ok, so this isn't the real Soccer AM Crossbar Challenge but it is related. Furthermore, it's probably the only time you'll see a current Manchester United player have a go at hitting the bar. Of course, at the time of filming he was playing for Tottenham. http://www.crossbarchallengeblog.com/michael-carrick/
