Adriano. Lazy Ass MTF.
Really, only in Brazil this sort of shit happens. And it kills me.
Adriano, who has the right to practice whenever his royal ass feels like, hasn’t showed up in Flamengo for the past 9 days. He got two free days before joining Brazil to play Ireland on March 2nd, got back to Brazil on Thursday, [...]
Bye bye LA Sol. Hello F.C. Gold Pride
The Women’s Professional Soccer League here in the US is going into its second year, and things are not going nicely for some. LA Sol, last season’s most popular team, got shut down because they could not find any owners to… uh… own the team. Yeah, that bad.
The league had to dispense all LA [...]
Oh sheits… World Cup 2010 will bankrupt me!
I am starting to plan the trip to South Africa. Fun fun fun!
Brazil will play first two games in Johannesburg (Korea DPR and Ivory Coast) and then off to Durban (to play Portugal). All that is very exciting… until you actually start bumping into prices. I already have the tickets to follow Brazil… but [...]
Pompey set to go offline
It is hard to imagine a worse season than the one Portsmouth are suffering at the moment. The extravagant and irresponsible excesses of recent years are unravelling by the day as the club careers towards financial meltdown.
Portsmouth’s Premier League odds already make grim reading, but a clutch of incidents this week have left the [...]
Messi and Marta: 2009 FIFA World Player of the Year
As expected, Messi and Marta are 2009’s FIFA World Player of the Year.
Messi took his first FIFA World Player award home by beating C. Ronaldo (who had 352 points against his 1,073). Xavi was third, Kaka fourth and Iniesta fifth. Very well deserved.
Marta took the award for the fourth consecutive time, something never achieved [...]
The secret is in the yellow shirt…
Nice commercial by Brahma made for the friendly tomorrow against England. I even cried a little
Yep, Becks is back to AC Milan.
As expected, David Beckham is done with the MLS for now (or is it forever?). The British beau is set to come back to AC Milan in January and although this is supposed to be another loan from LA Galaxy I find it hard to believe that he will go back to the States. AC [...]
Own every World Cup ball since 1970.
Adidas is bringing back all balls used on World Cups since 1970. The commemorative set includes 10 balls and goes for $849.99. Each ball comes with its own ring stand commemorating the year in which it was used. Such a neat idea!

We all have to agree that that would be a great location to host a World Cup. Holland and Belgium combined can definitely do a great job and make fans and teams happy. What’s your opinion?
The Value of a Name in Football
The site Futebol Finance produced a list of the top 25 salaries of Brazilian footballers around the world. The surprise? The list has a number of players who are veterans or have not produced much in recent seasons. That shows us that even in football, the brand is what counts. What is also scary [...]
