Quaresma
I still find it hard to believe that Ricardo Quaresma isn’t playing for one of the big clubs in Europe (not to say Porto isn’t a good club but it isn’t thought of as a Madrid or Liverpool or Milan, etc.). I guess he did have a good chance to really take the world by [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Brazil vs Algeria friendly
So Brazil recently defeated Algeria 2-0 in a friendly match. The first half was not a great display by the Selecao but they did have a few shots on goal. The second half was quite a different affair and it was obvious why, the bringing on of Kaka’ and Ronaldinho. There’s a reason why they’ve [...]

There’s been much interest in right-backs of late!
Cicinho’s on-again, off-again transfer to Roma seems to be finally complete. It seems that Roma went to great lengths to sign him, going from a 5 million euro offer to 8 million and finally 9 million with 2 million extra based on performance.
Chelsea have given up on Daniel [...]
The next Ronaldinho?
Okay maybe not, I think there’s a bit of hype surrounding Celsinho mostly because of his looks. It may take a few minutes of watching the clip below before you can see that it actually isn’t Ronaldinho! hehe. Celsinho really is the spitting image of Ronaldinho but he definitely has some skill, check it out! [...]

Chelsea continue to throw their money around and build on their ability to field 3 first-class teams (talent-hoarding, hehe). They’ve offered Sevilla 30 million euros for Daniel Alves, I wonder if the temptation will be too much for them.
Tottenham have put together 15 million euros in a bid for Riquelme, a steal for such a [...]
Ribery Magic!
Just a quick post to show a youtube clip of Ribery’s excellent ball control which helped Bayern demolish Werder Bremen 4-0. Left the defender swinging in the air.

Lots of transfer action in Serie A
It seems that the big Italian clubs have been busy securing (or at least trying to) transfers before the deadline.
Roma seem to have sealed the Cicinho deal which works out well for the player since Real Madrid’s new coach has him playing on the left but mostly had the Brazilian out of his plans anyway. [...]
Recoba seals it for Inter, against Milan!
An unlikely heroe of late sealed a 1-0 victory for Inter Milan against arch rivals AC Milan in the final of the TIM cup (A small preseason tournament). See the goal below, pure Recoba of old, so good to see again.
I’ve always admired Recoba, he’s been at Inter for such a long time, it’s always [...]
