The Africa Cup of Nations – “Names Win Games”
Here is a very nice round-up from AusTeo’s blog.
It’s the players Europe and Asia are familiar with that have dictated favouritism for the African Nations Cup starting tomorrow. But it comes with justification at this stage as a paper champion is decided among the pundits for the upcoming tournament. By group, here’s a brief assessment [...]
Photo: Ronaldo’s new hair style.
I guess today is picture day. I just stumbled upon this image of Ronaldo (the original) and his new hairdo. I guess it looks more pimpy than usual. But I do prefer the Afro over this one.
Photo/Video: Henry’s new celebration.
Most people run with their hands in the air, some others throw themselves in the ground. Henry is different. Today, after beating Racing Santander for the Spanish Championship, Henry celebrated a bit different: he pulled his shorts up, as the picture below shows.

Adriano, you are a punk!
Even though I am one day late writing about this, I have to start saying that Adriano is a little spoiled prince. The “emperor” who came to be one of the top footballers in the world in 2005, started his decline in the World Cup in 2006. With an old ladies football (he is only [...]
Get Pato’s first shirt.
Imagine if you had the chance (and money) to buy Pele’s first game shirt when he played for Santos. Or Ronaldo’s. Or Zidane’s. Or Ronaldinho’s. Well, now you can (try to) get Pato’s first shirt, used in his first match for AC Milan. Man, I haven’t figured out how this guy takes all this pressure!
End of story: Fred will stay in Lyon.
For those of us who had great hopen in Brazilian striker Fred, it was a big bump to see him injured, out of the Brazilian National team, and losing opportunities at his own club, Lyon. The ex-Cruzeiro player got injured and was away from the pitch for 5 months. When he returned, he saw his [...]
Capello inquired about his taxes…
Fabio Capello is being inquired about his taxes from the time he was Juventus’ boss, which is part of the wider investigation into allegations of corruption at the club.Truth is that when you are making millions, it makes it easier to sli[ here and there. But the new England manager assures that his finances were [...]
Al Bangura wins appeal to stay in England.
Al Bangura can stay in England. The Watford F.C. midfielder received deportation notice back in November 2007 but appealed back, based on fears for his life if he were to go back to Sierra Leone. I posted a petition to “save” him back in December, but it seems that his lawyers, thank God, did a [...]
Remember Freddy Adu?
Oh… I do. Adu was the next big thing, the next hope in American soccer. The media was comparing him to Pele and he was going along with it. But then life hit him in the face and showed it takes much more to be a top footballer. His game was not effective and the [...]
Photo: this is where the 2010 World Cup in South Africa will start and end.
Johannesburg will be hosting the opening and the final match of 2010 World Cup. We have great hopes that this stadium will be finished on time. It’s supposed to be shaped like an African artisan’s vase. The brand new stadium will be able to hol 94 thousand football fans.
