Transfer Rumors 2013 – Borussia Dortmund Getting Closer to Christian Eriksen
Posted on 13 May, 2013, by Peter in SoccerIt’s been hard for quite some time, ever since the financial playing grounds changed for the worse on them, for Ajax to hang on to their best players. Christian Eriksen has been on the shortlist of many top European clubs for a few seasons now, but after winning his third Dutch title in three years, it seems that the approaches of Borussia Dortmund might finally tear him away from the club he has been with since the age of 16.

Lionel Messi Won’t Be Part of the Barcelona Garbage Time
Posted on 13 May, 2013, by Riven in SoccerIt’s so rare to have Lionel Messi start and play an entire La Liga match for Barcelona without scoring even once, but at this stage of the season, with the title officially secured, what’s the point? Tito Vilanova didn’t ask too much of his players, who some of them, like Alexis Sanchez and Cesc Fabregas, need to show in the final moments that they deserve to be entrusted with his faith for next season, but they delivered three more points anyway, as Messi played his final match before he officially begins his summer vacation.

Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Ruins the Perfection of Alex Ferguson Leaving
Posted on 13 May, 2013, by Peter in SoccerGoing against the club and especially against Alex Ferguson never earns a player too much adoration from the fans, but it was weird to hear so many boos for Wayne Rooney as he was walking over to pick up yet another Premier League winners’ medal, possibly his last with Manchester United.

Liverpool FC – Philippe Coutinho & Daniel Sturridge Look Like They’re Having Fun
Posted on 13 May, 2013, by Riven in SoccerToo little, and probably late as well. If Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho would have been playing for Liverpool since the start of the season, maybe things would have ended differently. A couple of spots higher in the table and European football next season. There’s plenty of promise to a side that has looked depressed at times during the campaign, and missed out on a happier finish for it. More
Transfer Rumors 2013 – Liverpool Now Interested in Lucas Digne
Posted on 12 May, 2013, by Peter in SoccerIt seems that the media are persistent in attaching Liverpool to left backs from France. The next one on the list? Lucas Digne, a 19-year old who has been playing for Lille over the last couple of seasons and for the France U-19 side. More
Transfer Rumors 2013 – Arsenal & Tottenham Interested in Christian Benteke
Posted on 12 May, 2013, by Peter in SoccerIt seems Arsenal and Tottenham aren’t only battling for a spot in the Champions League next season. They’ll also be battling it out for the right to sign Christian Benteke, the only good thing about Aston Villa this season, with his departure looking closer and closer as his team takes another step towards relegation.

Transfer Rumors 2013 – Real Madrid & Possible Mega Move for Neymar
Posted on 12 May, 2013, by Peter in SoccerWhile Neymar is constantly saying he’s not going anywhere before the end of the 2014 World Cup, business keeps moving around him, and not the kind he is likely to refuse. The next big rumor about the Brazilian phenom? With Santos unable to sign him on an extension, they’ll be selling him this summer, and Real Madrid are looking to be the ones who reach the prize first, potentially spending €100 million on him.

Lionel Messi & Barcelona Face Impossible Expectations
Posted on 12 May, 2013, by Riven in SoccerHow many is it now? Barcelona, without the need to play, clinched their fourth league title in five seasons. Yes, the streets in Catalonia were alive with the sound of music, but there seems to be a sense of slight disappointment, just like last year. When you’re Lionel Messi, nothing less than spectacular, every match, every season, is expected of you. Same goes for Barcelona, who always seem like they’ve disappointed someone when they don’t win all the possible titles. More
Real Madrid Are Terrible Without Cristiano Ronaldo
Posted on 12 May, 2013, by Riven in SoccerA futile chase that has been going on for months ended three matches before the end of the season, as Cristiano Ronaldo came on a little bit too late to give Real Madrid enough of a boost and make a comeback from deficit to victory, but proved once again that without him on the pitch, despite all the money spent on making this the most impressive squad in Europe, there isn’t that much to be impressed about.

Manchester United – Paul Scholes Retiring And No One Cares
Posted on 12 May, 2013, by Peter in SoccerIt’s hard to say Paul Scholes had a lot to do with his 11th Premier League title. He hasn’t started in a league match since December, but a medal is a medal. Retiring for the second time in 24 months shouldn’t raise too many eyebrows, with Manchester United having a more meaningful departure to handle. One of the greatest midfielders in England’s history is calling it quits, this time for good, but without anyone really paying attention. More

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.
