FC Barcelona – Lionel Messi Goal Not Enough For Once

Posted on 8 Nov, 2012, by in Soccer

On one of the few times since becoming a Barcelona player, Lionel Messi scoring couldn’t save Barcelona from defeat, only their second loss in all competitions this season and the first in the Champions League.

PSG – Zlatan Ibrahimovic Loving Being the Center of Everything

Posted on 7 Nov, 2012, by in Soccer

There’s no other way he’d prefer it to be. Zlatan Ibrahimovic loves the fact that every ball, every pass and every decision on attack goes through him. Paris Saint-Germain, like AC Milan in the past two years, are completely dependent on the form and decision making of the Sweden international, just the way Zlatan likes it. More

Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo’s Worst Match of the Season

Posted on 7 Nov, 2012, by in Soccer

Somehow, Real Madrid didn’t come out too disappointed from a home draw in the Champions League. Cristiano Ronaldo had a very off night, curiously trying to pass almost every ball that fell at his feet and never really finding a good shot at goal, feeling lost in the first half and out of sorts as a striker in the second.

Borussia Dortmund – Mario Gotze & Marco Reus Make Anything Possible

Posted on 7 Nov, 2012, by in Soccer

Few teams have such a young and dynamic duo like Dortmund, joining the forces of Marco Reus (after purchasing him this summer) and Mario Gotze, who make things that are simply just short of magical happen when they’re focused and in sync, simply by doing the right things instead of the complicated ones.

Posted on 7 Nov, 2012, by in Soccer

The pressure and the results did their thing; Arsene Wenger decided to start Theo Walcott, who rewarded his manager with a goal and looking dangerous in the moment Arsenal managed to shake off the pressure they were under, later avoiding any questions about his future and contract situation with the club.

For reasons a bit different than those that we’ll mention further down this post, Theo Walcott won’t be starting for Arsenal in the Champions League, this time because he’s suffering from an illness that might keep him on the bench or might him rule him out completely for the match, making things simpler for Arsene Wenger.

It doesn’t matter if you think Chelsea are right or wrong in pursuing Mark Clattenburg for alleged racial slurs he made directed at John Obi Mikel; The club didn’t have a choice once players told them what they think they heard.

Manchester United – Alex Ferguson Celebrating 26 Years

Posted on 6 Nov, 2012, by in Soccer

It’s hard to believe it’s been over a quarter of a century since Alex Ferguson arrived at Manchester United, beginning the most successful tenure ever by a manager in the Premier League (or whatever it was called back then). Exactly 26 years later, the club that owes him quite a lot will honor him with a statue that will be unveiled in two weeks time. More

Cristiano Ronaldo Finally Talks Some Lionel Messi

Posted on 5 Nov, 2012, by in Soccer

So what does Cristiano Ronaldo think of Lionel Messi? Despite the fact that it would be much more interesting for the two best players in the world to hate each other (which maybe they do, on the inside), the Portuguese captain had nothing sensational to add to the equation and the constant debate about who’s better and what their relationship is.
