Truly a novel. Today I read all over the Brazilian news that Robinho is not going to join coach Dunga’s guys in Beijing. Real Madrid is saying the player is hurt and needs to have a good pre-season … I think that is just bullies. Now to add to the Robinho story, Argentina is in [...]

Holeeeeeee! That is really a lot of euros. And it is official as well. Chelsea, from new boss Luiz Felipe Scolari is offering AC Milan € 100 million to bring the Brazilian home. If the transaction does go through, this would be the most expensive transfer in football history. So far, the highest one was [...]

Since the talk of the week has been Ronaldinho why not look at his first goal for the Brazilian national team. The narrator goes crazy saying: “look at what he did, look at what he did.”

It’s official. Ronaldinho is going to play for AC Milan. The Brazilian forward will be joining friend Kaka and the rest of the squad tomorrow.

Where are his **es? Here is Ronaldinho’s new pimpy style. He is ready to decide his future in Barcelona (or out of it) in the next 3 days. Whatever it is, let’s hope he gets his motivation and football back.

Today celebrates 10 years of the first French World Cup title. On a match against Brazil, Zidane and co. smashed Selecao 3 - 0. But what happened to Brazil that day that made the entire squad dull? Ronaldo (then Ronaldinho) got really sick right before the match, a convulsion to be exact. And as much [...]

It is official. AC Milan has posted in its website an official note saying the club is not letting Kaka go to Beijing, to play for Brazil. That truly sucks. I think no matter what age players should be allowed to go to the Olympics. Here is what they said: “Following the news appeared today [...]

It is an unfortunate day. One of the greatest French players, David Trezeguet, has decided to retire from International football. The early notice comes due to a guy who still managed to stay France’s manager even after a horrible EURO 2008 campaign. I just cannot believe how such and amazing player like Trezeguet got cut [...]

Yep. € 10.000. The ball used on the match between Germany and Spain was auctioned by the Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung and Adidas. The money is going to Osterreichische Sportshilfe, to help the development of Athletics on the London Olympic games in 2012. Neat!
