And clubs keeps fighting to keep key players off the Olympic games. »

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 [...]

Trezeguet ends International career. Blame it on Domenech. Seriously. »

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 [...]
