Posted on 21 May, 2013, by Peter in SoccerIt’s quite clear to everyone that the first issue Barcelona need to address this summer is improving their defense, especially the middle of it.

Transfer Rumors 2013 – Manchester United Will Get Marouane Fellaini, Not Leighton Baines
Posted on 21 May, 2013, by Riven in SoccerThe season is over, and the freedom to dive even deeper into the transfer market is everywhere. Manchester United are charging forward with their preparations for next season, looking first at Everton and the prizes they hold. As of now, it seems like they won’t be able to land Leighton Baines despite the long time interest, but might make the most of the situation with Marouane Fellaini, who has a release clause in his contract.

Posted on 21 May, 2013, by Peter in SoccerIt seems that the approach of going only for young and cheap players isn’t too rigid in the case of Liverpool, as the team, looking for a new centre back, might try and sign Kolo Toure from Manchester City, who becomes a free player this summer as his contract runs out.

Posted on 20 May, 2013, by Peter in SoccerChances were against Benfica heading into the final day of the season. They did beat Moreirense 3-1, but that wasn’t enough, as Porto beat Pacos 2-0, beginning their win thanks to James Rodriguez diving, being awarded a penalty and getting an opponent sent off, eventually leading to a 2-0 win and a third consecutive Portuguese title.

Tottenham Hotspur – Gareth Bale Probably Said Goodbye With a Beautiful Goal
Posted on 20 May, 2013, by Vic in SoccerNot making the Champions League might mean that Tottenham, missing out on the final day once again, this time because they finished fifth and not because someone won the competition and left them out, will have to part ways with Gareth Bale, who did the proper thing and finished his potentially final match for the club with a beautiful goal to leave another great memory.

FC Barcelona – Cesc Fabregas is Never Going to Be Lionel Messi
Posted on 20 May, 2013, by Peter in SoccerNo matter how many times Barcelona use Cesc Fabregas in the false 9 position, there’s just too much of a gap between him and Lionel Messi. It didn’t prevent Barca from winning and staying on course for the 100 league points that would make for a club record, but the ongoing presence of Andres Iniesta and Xavi keeps pushing Fabregas away from where he feels most comfortable on the pitch.

Liverpool FC – Philippe Coutinho Needs to be Just as Good Next Season
Posted on 20 May, 2013, by Riven in SoccerThe final day of the season was mostly about Jamie Carragher, getting a proper sending off from the Liverpool fans at Anfield, but it was also about a little taste of the future, which might be brighter than the slightly disappointing present. Philippe Coutinho might be in the center of that tomorrow due to his ability since arriving in January, hoping he’ll pick off in a few months right where he left off. More
Manchester United – Robin van Persie & Chicharito Give Alex Ferguson an Exciting Send Off
Posted on 20 May, 2013, by Peter in SoccerWhat’s a better way to go? A dull 0-0 or another 1/2-0 win by Manchester United that bores the life out of neutral viewers, or an exciting 5-5 draw, that did see his team drop a three goal lead and for the first time in his life not get angry about something like that. Alex Ferguson had his farewell for the club, the league and the game, while Robin van Persie and Javier Hernandez tried to show there’s a future to be optimistic about, even without Wayne Rooney.

Chelsea FC – Fernando Torres Keeps Surprising All His Critics
Posted on 20 May, 2013, by Riven in SoccerWas everyone wrong? Is Fernando Torres not just going to stay at Chelsea, but actually deserving to stay at the club? After two goals in the span of five days that are of the most important for the team all season long, the usually disappointing Spanish striker has helped his cause to earn a spot on the team for another season, showing he deserves to play next to Juan Mata and Eden Hazard in the future.

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in Swimsuit Calendar Photoshoot
While the Dallas Cowboys are no longer the force they used to be in the NFL, the allure and prestige of being a Cowboys cheerleader is still a thing to envy for some girls (and maybe even boys), and is generally a pleasing thing to see when the ladies join forces to create a swimsuit calender, posing in bikinis on the Mexican island of Cozumel.
