Inter and Bayern Munich in the Champions League Final

The Champions League Final is going to be quite the exciting one. Inter Milan have not won the cup since 1965, so this final will be a special one for them. Speaking of "special ones", Jose Mourinho, the coach of Inter guided them to the final after beating the current European Champions, Barcelona. In the first leg, Inter won 3-1 at home, therefore meaning that Barcelona had to win 2-0 at home in order to go through to the final. After an intense game where Inter spent the majority with 10 men, Barcelona couldn't do enough to get past Inter and only beat them 1-0, meaning that Inter went through. A tough battle between the two teams only lead to one going on, and it was Inter who deserved to go through. In the other semi-final, it was Bayern Munich against Olymique Lyon. Bayern cruised through to the final having had beaten Lyon at home 3-0 and away 1-0 having a 4-0 aggregrate over the French team overall. Bayern Munich haven't made an appearance in the European final since 1999 when they lost against Manchester United. The German giants will be hungry for the trophy this year as they have had a successful campaign in both the German Cup and German Bundesliga, winning both. If they win the Champions League final, they will have completed the prestigious Treble (Winning all three major competitions). The final, held in Madrid, will definitely be one to watch!

New Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly

Purple shoes?! Never has their been such a flamboyant color, but with Nike releasing this boot, it will be selling like hot cakes despite being $400 dollars!
Worn by the greatest player's in the game today being Drogba, Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Pato, and many many more, this shoe has got a lot to offer.
The Nike Vapor Superfly II has a revolutionary outsole that combines with Nike's Flywire engineering for an utterly mind-blowing boot. Nike has developed a new stud that extends 3 mm when ground is soft for increased toe-off acceleration and traction. These two longer studs in the forefoot also prevent slippage and create the most comfortable feeling Mercurial ever.
It weighs a mere 7.8 ounces and thats why the hence the name "SupeFly" as if you're "flying" on the field. This boot will be a huge hit this summer, but for me, I'll be waiting for some new color waves, as the purple just doesn't appeal to me that much!

Cristiano Ronaldo and Kim Kardashian "Dating?"

The rumors circulating whether Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed dating Kim Kardashian is sure to break girl’s hearts all over the world. The pair were spotted getting close in a restaurant in Madrid, where the former World Player of the year is plying his trade with Real Madrid. Although it is suggested they are only “semi dating,” rumors will no doubt continue to persist as to whether these two good looking people will see each other officially. Kardashian just recently split with NFL star Reggie Bush, so could this be her new boy toy?
With the World cup looming Ronaldo will carry the weight of expectancy from his country Portugal, with so much expected of him, much of his focus will be turned to the World Cup.

Unbelievable Goals Scored!

Wow, that is all I can say to the video link I am about to post. These are the best goals of the week scored this past week. I am going to have to say that for me, Maicon, the Brazilian wing-back of Inter Milan definitely scored the best goal. This goal could potentially be the goal of the year as well. Maicon produced that wizardry during the much heated Italian derby against Italian giants, Juventus F.C. This goal proved to be the game winner having had came in the 75th minute.
Also, the goal from Independiente's Leandro Gracian is also a scorcher and could compete with Maicon. Check out this link and let me know who YOU think had the best goal of the week! Enjoy!

Neymar Dos Santos: The New Brazilian Sensation

Neymar and Brazilian legend, Pele

Brazilian soccer is renowned for producing players of the highest quality. The latest to come of Brazilian talent is in the figure of Brazilian club Santos' Neymar. The talented striker at the tender age of 17 has alerted several of Europe’s top clubs including Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United with some stellar performances this season including 5 goals he scored in the 8-1 thrashing of Guarani.
With the World Cup looming, there has been calls from the Brazilian public for the inclusion of the youngster in the 23 man squad. With the abundance of quality that Brazil possesses it may be a little of bit of a stretch for Neymar this time around but there is no doubt that he will be a prominent figure in the future of the Brazilian National team and spearhead the side in future tournaments.
I hope over the next few years we see the continued progress of Neymar and lighting up whether to be this World cup or future tournaments with his obvious ability.

Heartbreak for Beckham

Soccer Icon David Beckham’s bid to become the first England player to represent his country in four world cups has ended in tears. His dream of achieving this goal was left shattered along with his Achilles tendon leaving him visibly upset both mentally and physically as he was carried off on a stretcher for his current side AC Milan in the 1 -0 victory against Chievo Verona. The time scale of recovery from this particular injury is about seven to nine months leaving him no chance of making the finals. In the twilight of his profession questions have been raised whether this is indeed the end of his career. But in typical Beckham fashion his mood was defiant that he will yet return and prosper to help aid the L.A. Galaxy and the bid to raise the profile of the game in this country.
Despite the disappointment David Beckham has had a tremendous career spanning over 15years at the highest levels with some of Europe’s elite clubs such as Manchester United, Real Madrid and A.C. Milan. His attitude and determination to bounce back from the disappointments he has had to again excel in soccer had lead many to admire and laud praise on the ultimate professional and the iconic figure he is to everyone in the game.
