Goofy Footaballer Tributes to Michael Jackson
It seems everyone is paying tribute to the late Michael Jackson (sounds funny, this, hun?). Brazilian players decided to honor the king of pop with embarrassing goal celebrations. The worst? The celebrations brought no luck.
Diego Tardelli, the striker from Atletico, tied the match against Barueri. He did the moonwalk and everything. But Barueri was the [...]

From BBC:
“United have agreed to give Real Madrid [...]

Oh yes, I do believe so since I’ve been reading it all over the place. Not only that but Real’s director Jorge Valdano has confirmed that negotiations are taking place. Real Madrid might be very close to bringing another top class footballer to its great squad, for really a lot of cash.

Official: Kaká is a Real Madrid player.
As previously mentioned, Kaká is packing up and moving to Madrid. Today, Real confirmed the move officially on its website. End of speculation. The Brazilian is now the second most expensive buy of all times, only falling behind Zidane who moved from Juventus to Real Madrid.
