  • Pele Keeps His Own Legend Alive

    At 71, Pele is still walking around telling everyone how great he was, how he’s the greatest footballer ever, and how there will never be another him. One of a kind.

  • Is Fernando Llorente the Best Spanish Striker?

    Fernando Torres? You never know what you’ll get with him. David Villa? Another slow start might signal signs of decline. Fernando Llorente of Atheltic Bilbao, on the other hand, just keeps getting better.

  • Midweek Goals we Loved

    No Champions League, but plenty of league and cup football in Europe and South America. Luis Suarez (Liverpool), Antonio Valencia (Manchester United), Antonio Nocerino (Milan) and Bernardo (Vasco) bagged the best of the midweek’s goals.

  • Juventus and Predicting in the Serie A

    Back on top, but not impressing. Alessandro Matri is back, and scoring goals quite freely. Is he the best Italian striker out there? Better than Giueseppe Rossi, out there at struggling Villareal? Is he the man to lead Juventus into a new age of glory and prosperity, with Antonio Conte to guide him and the hungry for success club?

  • Xavi Free Kick Wins it for Barcelona in Granada

    Barcelona earned a tough 1-0 win over Grananda thanks to Xavi’s fantastic free kick goal, his fourth of the season and more importantly, putting Barcelona, at least temporarily, on top of the La Liga table, waiting for Real Madrid and Levante to stumble.

    Manchester City tied their biggest ever win over Manchester United, a humiliating 6-1 drubbing at Old Trafford with a sublime David Silva performance, getting Alex Ferguson to call this his worst defeat ever.

  • Cristiano Ronaldo Back to His Scoring Ways

    Cristiano Ronaldo needed only 14 minutes to score his third hat trick of the season, leading Real Madrid to a 4-0 win over Malaga, moving to the top spot, where they feel natural, while Lionel Messi couldn’t convert an injury time penalty as Barcelona slipped to a 0-0 draw with Sevilla at home.

  • Tottenham Beat Kazan, Udinese Stop Atletico in Europa League Night

    Another busy night in the Europe League, with two 5-0 wins by Schalke and Maccabi Haifa in the same group, Tottenham beating Rubin Kazan with a great Pavlyuchenko goal and Udinese beating Atletico Madrid 2-0.

  • Yoav Ziv Kicks Shoe on Linesman in Stoke Europa League Win

    Stoke City did beat Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv 3-0 in Europa League action with goals from Kenwyne Jones, Cameron Jerome and Ryan Shotton, but the most memorable moment of the match came from Maccabi Tel Aviv defender Yoav Ziv.

  • No Respect for Alessandro Del Piero

    At 36, Alessandro Del Piero, Juventus’ all time leading goal scorer and most capped player, who has been with this club since 1993, who has won five (or seven) Serie A titles with the club, one Champions League title, and probably more importantly, went down to Serie B with the club in 2006-2007, needs to be shown the way out by club president.
