Just felt like sharing the ever evolving shaped of Ronaldo. I'm loving what I am seeing now and we may well be in for his 2nd coming.

Just look at the neck and cheeks.

Real Still After Kaka




According to speculation coming from Italy, Kaka's father has been spotted in Madrid with the directors of the Merengues in the past weeks.

Despite ever concerned party saying that the Brazilian ace will not leave Milan for Real Madrid, in recent weeks there has been a lot of meetings between the Spanish club's directors and the father of Kaka.

Another important element which could lead the young Brazilian to Madrid is the fact that Milan are seriously risking of missing out on the Champions League for next season, as the Rossoneri are currently in 15th place, 10 points behind 4th placed Catania in the race for the last available Champions League spot.

The bad news for the Rossoneri is that Kaka was one of Ramon Calderon's transfer promises during his successful campaign to be elected as Real Madrid President, and in the past these promises have always been fulfilled…

I'm editing this post...and I'm so fucking sad, man. First Boca lost...they were winning at the half but ended up losing 1-2. And then Colo Colo lost in the Sudamericana's Final against Pachuca...same as Boca. They were winning but couldn't win.
Fuck...well, vamos albo conchetumareee.

Yeah man, I'm so fucking angry too...
Damn, how the fuck can you lose to Estudiantes?!?!?
Their first goal was so fucking stupid, I wanna kill the defender who made that foul and that stupid goalkeeper. The second one was pretty awesome and I kinda saw it coming: Pavone was on fire.
Palermo did nothing a part from the goal, Ibarra was the only defender that was actually playing, Bobadilla is an idiot, and La Volpe is so fucking stupid that he sent Calvo in for Guillermo Barros Schelotto who was actually playing pretty good.
The thing that made me laugh is that La Volpe said something similar to "Soy un cagon y por eso me voy"
I've seen the first minutes of Colo Colo-Pachuca but I fell asleep while watching it (they aired it at 1AM here if I'm not mistaken). Too bad Colo Colo lost, I hate Mexicans.

Real Madrid bought Gonzalo Higuan from River Plate for 13 million euros.

Yeah, but Cahais was sleeping and instead of actually kicking the ball, he let Pavone score the goal. It seemed like Boca didn't want to win, they weren't running at all.

So anybody been following the EPL?

Very happy Man Utd have a 6 pt lead on Chelsea with a far superior goal diff if it even comes to that to decide the title. Ronaldo's 12 goals so far are also worthy of mention. I have hope they can hold the lead but I wont declare them champs just yet. I think Ronaldo has been the best player so far in the EPL with Drogba a close second, what do you guys think?

[dada]

I posted the Becks article on this page.

Is it me or is that a ridiculous sum of money?

Well, if you didnt already know Beckham will be going to the US in the summer in what looks like a ridiculously huge deal. I'm happy for US soccer but I just pray that money was worth it.

Liverpool 2 - 0 Chelsea

Found this one funny for some reason.

Urgent:Product Recall

Trading Standard Officers have ordered the urgent recall of a defective product found to be faulty and dangerous.

Over the Christmas and New Year period, tests proved the components in the product called "Chelsea FC" would fall apart when placed under the smallest amount of pressure.

Consumers first experienced problems last year, when it was noted the product failed to work properly in Europe.

Complaints were made about it malfunctioning and then emitting a continuous whining noise - usually in Portugese.

At the time the complaints were ignored. But when the product started falling apart in Britain over Christmas, the Trading Standards Authority took action.

A spokesman warned: "We particularly want to stress to parents that, with Chelsea FC, there is a genuine risk of choking that may end in tears come May.

Despite assurances from the company behind the product that action was taken to correct the faulty parts, including abandoning the use of the highly unpredictable and sub-standard component "Gallas", malfunctions have continued. Consumers have been urged to check the small print carefully for the words "this product may contain traces of Shevchenko".

If that is the case buyers of the product are urged to put it back in its box and return immediately.

"Shevchenko" has been known to cause a severe allergic reaction in many consumers, causing them to shout involuntarily "You useless t**t and "For f*** sake bring back Carlton Cole."

Bayern München have fired their Head Coach Felix Magath. Ottmar Hitzfeld will be the Head Coach for the rest of the year.

Quite Suprising for everybody here in Germany since there were not even rumours although Bayern were not able to win one of the last two games.

[bgmakso]

Yeah i think thats good for Bayern.Felix Magath will go to HSV now.

Just so everyone knows, the great Ronaldo bagged 2 goals for AC Milan in his first start. To top it off he also had an assist to set up his fellow Brazilian teammate''s goal (Oliveira). All in all he looked very lively and looking at R. Madrid they could have really used him in their current form. R99 seems on a mission.

[felix8621]

Yeah he played well on his first full match, i just hope he keeps it up.

Yeah,but i also remember his first match with Real Madrid he also made two goals and that didn't end up well for him.

He scored alot of goals for Real (I think 101 or something like that). Besides from his last season where he was out of shape to start and the coach never regained confidence when he regained fitness, I'd say his stay at Real wasnt all too bad.

[Loenatic]

Boca Juniors is gonna win the Libertadores Cup,no question about it.Now that Riquelme is back we're gonna win,win and win(just like always )
Plus we got the best roster in South America.

England captain John Terry was carried off during the Carling Cup final after suffering a head injury.

The Chelsea defender was accidentally kicked in the head by Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby as he challenged for the ball in the Blues' penalty area in the 56th minute at the Millennium Stadium.

He appeared to fall awkwardly, landing flat on his face, and players of both teams beckoned for urgent medical attention.

Terry, who had made a remarkable recovery from an ankle injury sstained on Champions League duty in midweek to be fit for the final in Cardiff, needed several minutes' attention from the physios of both clubs.

He was eventually put in a neck brace and carried off on a stretcher, with England boss Steve McClaren watching from the stands.

It was later reported that Terry was conscious but very groggy and was being taken to hospital.

Man, that was the most disturbing pic on the soccer field I have ever seen live on TV. I thought Terry died damnit. Hope he'll be alright.

[Loenatic]

Yeah,I saw the match, hope he's fine.Chelsea ended up winning the cup and Drogba really saved the day for them.

[dada]

I didnt see the match unfortunately but apparently he's alright cuz he returned to celebrate with his teammates.
