  • Finally a Clasico That Real Madrid Deserved to Win

    Real Madrid made a point, proved and surprised everyone with their ability to actually dominate a game against Barcelona, even at the Camp Nou. Forget about talks of Barca taking it easy because of their away lead or anything like that. Real’s resistance game came exactly at the right time, even if it didn’t get them a win and a semi final.

  • Metalist’s Cristian Villagra Scores Goal From Over 60 Meters Out

    Cristian Villagra doesn’t usually score goals, and rarely ones worth noting. Friendly matches tend to bring out the best from some players, and although Villagra had a lot of help from Dinamo Moscow’s keeper with this one, his incredible goal from more than 60 meters out is quite impressive, to say the least.

  • A Chance For Ronaldo and Mourinho to Turn the Tide

    Real Madrid have nothing to lose, coming in tomorrow to the Camp Nou, trying to erase a 2-1 deficit against Barcelona. Cristiano Ronaldo, Jose Mourinho, who failed to live up to the expectations at the Santiago Bernabeu, can change the balance between the two clubs, that despite Real’s 5 point lead in the league, is tipping, cleary, in favor of Lionel Messi and Guardiola for more than 3 years.

  • Arsenal vs Manchester United – No Revenge For Wenger

    Antonio Valencia was Manchester United’s man once again, as his return to his usual position on the wing gave Alex Ferguson another win and denied the revenge Arsenal and Arsene Wenger have been dreaming of since very early on in the season, as Valencia scored the first and set up Welbeck’s second, besting Robin van Persie’s goal in a 2-1 at the Emirates.

  • Manchester City vs Tottenham – Mario Balotelli, Villain and Hero

    Mario Balotelli shouldn’t have been on the pitch when he got the chance to give Manchester City a goal, and win, that probably knocked Tottenham out of the title race. Howard Webb missed the vicious step on Parker’s head, and the villainous Italian scored the injury time penalty, giving the league leaders a dramatic 3-2 win.

  • Roberto Soldado Doesn’t Like Cameramen and Laptops

    Roberto Soldado scored one of Valencia’s four goals in their 4-1 win over Levante, scoring his 19th goals for the club in all competitions this season. His scoring ability breaking out again wasn’t the most impressive of his feats on Thursday, while his laptop breaking quality was showcased for the first time.

  • Is the Bundesliga the Best League in Europe?

    The return from the winter break wasn’t kind to league leaders Bayern Munich, losing to a well prepared and efficient Borussia Monchengladbach 3-1 at the Borussia-Park, bringing Gladbach to only a point behind the Bavarian giants with goals from Marco Reus and a Patrick Hermann brace.

  • Brilliant Maicon Goal in Another Inter Win in Italian Cup

    Maicon was one of the best players on a hard working and victorious Inter side in the beginning of the week, beating Milan 1-0, as Claudio Ranieri continued to work his mid-season magic. It continued on Thursday, as Inter beat Genoa 2-1 in the Coppa Italia, with Maicon scoring one of the best goals of the season in Italy.

  • Clasico Losses to Barcelona Won’t Matter if Real Madrid Win Title

    Barcelona beating Real Madrid? Boring. Well not exactly boring, but nothing new about it. Messi didn’t score, Ronaldo did but disappeared shortly after, We didn’t get anything interesting from Mourinho, yet, while the dirty tactics, with Pepe incharge, were what resonated in many minds after the match.

  • Real Madrid vs Barcelona – Unlikely Scorers in Fiery Clasico

    Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring and disappeared, Lionel Messi settled for one assist but nothing new as to the winner of yet another fiery Clasico, with Barcelona coming back again to beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu with goals by Carles Puyol and Eric Abidal.
