Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid?
Monday, June 30th, 2008
Cristiano Ronaldo is on the brink of becoming the world’s most expensive player if he decides to take on Real Madrid’s generous offer.
Now that Cristiano Ronaldo’s stint in the 2008 UEFA European Football Championship is over after Portugal lost to Germany, he is now looking into a possible move from Old Trafford and the defending Champions League champions Manchester United, to Real Madrid and the Spanish Premiere League.
After failing to lead Portugal deeper 
into the Euro 2008 tournament, it seems that didn’t hurt his market value so to speak. Real Madrid still wants to land the fiery Portugese striker and after he captured both the English Premiership and the UEFA Champions League titles with Manchester United, Real Madrid is STILL willing to make him the highest paid football player in the world.
Zinedine Zidane, still the highest paid footballer after moving from Juventus to Real Madrid, agrees with his former club. He believes that Cristiano Ronaldo is worthy to break his own record breaking fee and the Portugese’s 3-2 loss to Germany should not slow down his bandwagon.
‘’He has had a great season, a league and Champions League winner, and I think the fact that he and Portugal got knocked out at the quarter-finals doesn’t mean anything because they were up against a great Germany team,’’ retired Zinedine Zidane said.
‘’It doesn’t say anything about the merits during the year. He is not scared of his new Real Madrid engagement and every time they wanted good players they got them. Now it depends on his personal plans, if he wants to…”
Manchester United, 2008 Champions League Champions!
Friday, May 23rd, 2008
The Champions League final became one of the most dramatic finishes ever seen on a pitch to decide a championship.
Yes, the conclusion of the 2008 UEFA Champions League final between the Manchester United Red Devils and Chelsea FC is probably one of the most exciting finishes ever seen on the pitch and unfortunately for football fans, only one team can win.
One team did win and this year, Manchester United became champions of all of Europe. The Red Devils, after scoring the first goal of the match, won the Champions League final, winning on penalties 6-5 to beat Chelsea FC after ending regulation and TWO extra periods in a 1-1 deadlock.
It was a very draining game for Chelsea both physically and emotionally too. After Man-U star Cristiano Ronaldo missed his kick on the penalty shootout to decide the Champions League final, Chelsea all of a sudden had the chance to steal the European title away from their rivals from Old Trafford.
Unfortunately for the Blues, their captain John Terry missed his as well, relinquishing the advantage back to the Red Devils. And after Man-U goalie Edwin Van der Sar stopped Chelsea’s Nicolas Anelka, the celebration for the Red Devils began.
Ironically, it has been 40 years since Manchester United won the Champions League in Germany with a team rebuilt by Sir Matt Busby from the survivors of that Munich disaster. Eight players lost their lives following the catastrophic events on a snow-filled German runway in February 1958.
40 years later, Man-U was celebrating in Germany again, winning the 2008 UEFA Champions League final and when it was all said and done, football fans realized something they never thought they’d never see again. Manchester United won a magnificent double to conclude this year’s football season.
Things may have been different if…

David Beckham is still nursing a knee injury and he’ll be out for England’s fixture against Estonia.
Heading to England’s Euro 2008 Qualifier against Estonia this Saturday, David Beckham will be out with yet another injury. Despite that, Steve McClaren is still praising the guy because of his motivation to return and play again for his home country.
England head coach Steve McClaren is praising David Beckham for, according to McClaren, the way the England star is still trying to regain his fitness.
‘
‘He’s a true patriot and he loves playing for England,” England coach Steve McClaren said of Beckham for his efforts to be available for the national team’s campaign this season. ”That’s still his motivation, that’s still his mind-set.”
David Beckham is still nursing a right knee injury he sustained playing for the Los Angeles Galaxy in MLS soccer. The injury denied Becks for two England European Championship qualifiers last September and will still rule him out of two more fixtures, one against Estonia this Saturday, and another against Russia.
What David Beckham is aiming for now is to be fit in time to lead England to next summer’s finals in Switzerland and Austria. Back in 2001, Becks did just that, scoring a late free kick against Greece to send the England national team to the…
