FC Barcelona – Lionel Messi Put His Health, Body on the Line for a Championship
Posted on 16 May, 2013, by Riven in SoccerWould’ve Barcelona won the La Liga trophy this season without Lionel Messi playing in the last few matches? Probably, but it would have taken a little longer to secure it, possibly. It would have given Real Madrid a little bit of encouragement and belief that it is possible to do the impossible. But Messi, who hasn’t been 100% for quite some time, wasn’t going to let something minor (or maybe it was a little bit worse than that) slow him down, and prevent him from winning another league championship.

Alexandre Pato & Juan Riquelme: A Special Miss, A Special Goal
Posted on 16 May, 2013, by Vic in SoccerThis is why Juan Roman Riquelme came back – to score special goals for Boca Juniors, trying to guide them to more Copa Libertadores glory. Alexandre Pato, on the other hand, failing to bring Corinthians through into the quarterfinals, showed why his career has fizzled with an astonishing miss that was partly to blame for his side getting knocked out of the competition.

Manchester United – David Moyes & The Changes He Needs to Make
Posted on 16 May, 2013, by Riven in SoccerThere’s more than just Wayne Rooney to worry about for David Moyes as he enters the biggest challenge of his career; trying to fill the huge shoes Alex Ferguson leaves at Manchester United. There’s sorting out an again defense, with Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic no longer reliable as before, while trying to upgrade a sub-par midfield when it comes to Champions League standards, and finding a way to sort out the attack and its hierarchy.

Posted on 16 May, 2013, by Peter in SoccerIt’s not a surprise that Liverpool are constantly looking for defenders. The next name on the long list of young defensive talents is Tiago Llori, a 20 year old centre back playing for Sporting Clube de Portugal, mostly for their B side, and for the younger Portugal national teams, hoping that he can be one of those that will fill the shoes of the departing Jamie Carragher.

Arsene Wenger & Arsenal Won Their Last Trophy 8 Years Ago; He’s the Only Thing That Hasn’t Changed in English Football Since
Posted on 16 May, 2013, by Riven in SoccerSome numbers can be taken in two different ways – either praise for Arsenal for being so patient and stable, holding on to their manager while everything around him, including David Moyes and Alex Ferguson has changed jobs, or find a way to criticize Arsene Wenger once again for turning all the great work he’s done with the gunners during the first half of his reign into one big failure during the last eight seasons.

Chelsea FC – Fernando Torres, the Man Who Has Almost Everything
Posted on 16 May, 2013, by Peter in SoccerWhile Frank Lampard and John Terry continue to annoy everyone with their urgency to rush over to lift that trophy like they own more than anyone else, there are others who deserve more praise for yet another successful finish to a Chelsea season, this time with a Europa League title. Fernando Torres, who has now won everything but a league championship; Juan Mata, who is in the same boat as Torres, only with less criticism about his ability; and Rafa Benitez, who is leaving with a smile, and as a winner.

Meanwhile, Fernando Torres proves that all a team needs is to put him in a final, and he’ll look like a formidable striker.

Europa League Final – Benfica vs Chelsea Predictions
Posted on 15 May, 2013, by Peter in SoccerAll the talk between Chelsea player about who will be the one, Frank Lampard or John Terry, to lift the trophy should they beat Benfica in the Europa League final usually brings with it big loads of bad luck, but seeing how the Portuguese seemed like a broken team after their shattering 91st minute loss against Porto, maybe even bad luck won’t stop Chelsea from adding another European trophy to their cabinet at Stamford Bridge.

FC Barcelona – Lionel Messi Doesn’t Dive For the Last Time This Season
Posted on 15 May, 2013, by Peter in SoccerSomething Barcelona and Lionel Messi fans are extremely proud of is the whole “Lionel Messi doesn’t dive” issue, taking it as another example that sets the best player in the world apart from others, and especially Cristiano Ronaldo. Messi might have grown a bit more ruder to referees over the last couple of seasons, but the habit of diving or even falling down when tacking a clib from a defender still hasn’t been embedded in him, taking to the ground only when he actually has lost his balance.

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.
