    The Sexy Football Calendar of 2014

    In 2013, it was all about the managers. In 2014, the sexy football calendar takes shots at the big wigs of the sport (Sepp Blatter, Michel Platini) and a player or two as well, giving a sexy, funny and insulting vision on some of the sport’s most powerful people, which shouldn’t be taken seriously all the time.

    Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo is Still Crying Instead of Playing

    Even if Cristiano Ronaldo was fouled, he did have another embarrassing moment of diving instead of playing through the tackle. While he has a manager at Real Madrid who hasn’t been making the wisest and boldest of decisions when it comes to starting lineups, you expect a lot more from a player who considers himself to be the best in the world.

    Aftermath of the Barcelona vs Real Madrid Clasico

    As with every Clasico, it’s quite interesting just to sift through the comments after the match. Class is never a big part of what we see going on, as Real Madrid players constantly talk about the penalty kick not given to them after Javier Mascherano fouled Cristiano Ronaldo, while the Barcelona side ignores those claims and prefers talking about the wonderful goal Alexis Sanchez scored.

  • Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Needs to Finish Better

    Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Needs to Finish Better

    It might be absurd to ask Cristiano Ronaldo, already scoring 8 league goals this season, to do a better job at finishing than he has so far, but Real Madrid seem to be so bad this season when it comes to finishing the chances they are able to create, be it Alvaro Morata or Karim Benzema in the starting lineup, it once again falls on the shoulder of their best player.

    It Must Be Frustrating to be Cristiano Ronaldo on This Real Madrid Team

    Can Cristiano Ronaldo be regarded at some point till the end of his career as the best player in the world? Sure, by some, but he’s lost the popular vote. What’s left for him is to win as much as possible with Real Madrid – La Liga & Champions League titles, only that doesn’t seem to be going too well either.

    Real Madrid – Sami Khedira Isn’t the Problem

    One of the amusing things about the La Liga is the amount of panic rising through the ranks at Real Madrid after dropping 5 points from their first 8 league matches. As it has to be someone’s fault they’re already behind Barcelona by this much, the Spanish media has turned to Sami Khedira.

  • Real Madrid – Iker Casillas Shouldn’t Stay Anymore

    Real Madrid – Iker Casillas Shouldn’t Stay Anymore

    It doesn’t seem like Iker Casillas is important these days to Real Madrid and those leading the club, be it the head coach or those that are above him. Despite being a club legend and a Spanish national hero, looking to end his career elsewhere isn’t going to be the first time someone of his stature was run out of the club and enjoyed a happier ending somewhere else.

  • Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Can’t Get More Clutch Than This

    Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Can’t Get More Clutch Than This

    Every bit of criticism poured onto Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti is justified, but most of the time, it doesn’t matter. Cristiano Ronaldo can’t stop scoring goals during injury time, truly making something out of the nothing that is his team’s open play, while Karim Benzema is fading away into obscurity and Isco isn’t as good as advertised.

  • Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Luckily Keeps Title Hopes Alive

    Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Luckily Keeps Title Hopes Alive

    Once again, a bit too much of injury time saves Real Madrid from being knocked out of the La Liga title race. This time, Cristiano Ronaldo needed a lucky bounce and Alvaro Morata to give his team any kind of hope with the first goal of the season for him in a dramatic and undeserved 3-2 win over Levante.

  • Real Madrid – Angel di Maria is Currently Better Than Gareth Bale

    Real Madrid – Angel di Maria is Currently Better Than Gareth Bale

    There was never any question about Real Madrid going back to their winning ways, but it was still refreshing to see someone either than Cristiano Ronaldo be their best player on the pitch, with Angel di Maria proving his place is in the lineup, and at the moment is a better fit than an injured or healthy Gareth Bale.
