Posted on 30 Oct, 2012, by Peter in SoccerThe list for the nominees for the 2012 Ballon d’Or award were released by FIFA, with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the obvious candidates to win this one, while Real Madrid beat Barcelona in terms of number of players on this list and no one really came close to Spain on the international front.

Mark Clattenburg was Bad way Before Chelsea vs Manchester United
Posted on 30 Oct, 2012, by Peter in SoccerWhether Mark Clattenburg used racist language against Chelsea players remains to be seen, or at least the FA version of what happened into those events. What is certain is that the 37 year old referee made a mess of things in favor of Manchester United, and not for the first time. More
Lionel Messi – Just Breaking Another Goal Scoring Record
Posted on 29 Oct, 2012, by Peter in SoccerSometimes, I don’t really understand how the Ballon d’Or for 2012 is even a question. Lionel Messi has won it three times in the past, and should win a fourth. When you’re about to break the record for goals in a calendar year, after already setting records for goals in the league, Champions League and an entire season, there shouldn’t be any debate. More
Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Enjoying the Hate
Posted on 29 Oct, 2012, by Peter in SoccerOne of the best moments that came from Cristiano Ronaldo in the 5-0 win by Real Madrid over Mallorca wasn’t his two goals but his interactions with the fans, imploring the fans to keep on booing and jeering him, as if it only made him stronger and better throughout the match.

Manchester United – Robin van Persie in his Best Form Ever
Posted on 29 Oct, 2012, by Riven in SoccerThis Manchester United side that Alex Ferguson is running with this season is a strange hybrid of atrocious defending, a goalkeeper that defies logic, no midfield play whatsoever, wings that keep on pushing and one Robin van Persie, continuing a two year stretch of being the best goalscorer and player in the Premier League.

Chelsea FC – The Problems Beyond Juan Mata & Eden Hazard
Posted on 29 Oct, 2012, by Peter in SoccerThe easy thing for Chelsea would be to simply blame the referee, and think to themselves that Juan Mata and Eden Hazard being brilliant would have been enough to beat Manchester United. But despite the official complaints for racism against Mark Clattenburg, Chelsea have their own problems. More
Liverpool FC – Luis Suarez Great Despite Everything
Posted on 29 Oct, 2012, by Riven in SoccerHe doesn’t have a real striking partner, but he’s managing. The referees don’t give him calls even when he’s actually fouled, but he gets by. Luis Suarez, probably the most hated player among non-Liverpool fans in the Premier League, just keeps on doing his thing, letting it all fly over his head and simply scores goals. More
Robin van Persie Goals & Referee Mistakes win it for Manchester United at Chelsea
Posted on 28 Oct, 2012, by Peter in SoccerBest match of the Premier League season so far? Probably. Manchester United, lead by a prolific Robin van Persie, enojyed a quick lead and a frantic finish that saw Chelsea left win nine men and their comeback attempts thrashed by a goal from an offside position, giving the Red Devils a 3-2 win. More
Luis Suarez & Liverpool Robbed of Winning Goal vs Everton
Posted on 28 Oct, 2012, by Peter in SoccerIn a Merseyside derby filled with a lot of tension and a lot of goals, Luis Suarez stood out in both his ability and his usual antics, scoring a goal, setting up another own goal and scoring a 93rd minute supposed winner, only to be wrongfully disallowed, leaving Everton and Liverpool at a 2-2 draw.

Everybody Wants Pep Guardiola
Posted on 28 Oct, 2012, by Peter in SoccerThree La Liga titles and two Champions League trophies in four seasons, even if he did have the most talented group of players ever assembled, helps you on your resume. Pep Guardiola has been out of a job, by choice, for five months now, and it looks like every big club in the continent (Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Milan, Inter and even Barcelona) are thinking about him.

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.
