New AC Milan Jersey...

Today the AC Milan Squad officially presented their new home 2010/2011 Jersey. You might think that all of their jerseys are always the same, however there are always a slight change in them. The big change we can all notice in this new jersey is the new sponsor; its not the betting site Bwin anymore, its now the famous airline Fly Emirates. The black and red stripes are thicker, but as we can see adidas can't change much on the AC Milan jersey or else it would break the old rossoneri tradition.

From Spain to Germany...

It is confirmed! The legendary Spanish striker Raúl is now part of the Schalke 04 squad, he signed a contract of two seasons with the german club. His presentation wasn't as glorious as C. Ronaldo's when he transferred to Real Madrid, it was more of a private presentation; where he was welcomed by a chain of children, the top hierarchy of Schalke 04 and two miners that presented him with coal. Many asked him what would happen if he had to play against Real Madrid, his answer was simple "It would be a special moment for me"

Washington back to Fluminese...

Washington comes back to Fluminense, after a weak season in Sao Paulo FC. The reason for this move was mainly because of his continuous injuries, consequently leading to a loss of space in the squad. With new signings like Fernandao and Ricardo Oliveira, Washington knew that he wasn't going to be part of the coach's plans anymore. The Brazilian striker is now back to shine like he shone in 2008 with the Fluminense jersey. We wish him the best of luck!

Bye Bye Maradona...

Even though many fans protested against this decision, AFA (Argentinean Soccer Association) had to fire the flamboyant Maradona. The Argentinian coach showed a reasonable work with the squad in the World Cup 2010 Group Stages but after the 4 x 0 against Germany in the Quarter-finals, everything collapsed. The substitute for Maradona is still unclear, but whoever substitutes him, will never be able to create a family in the Argentinean squad like he did.

Sol Campbell never stops...

The 35 year old defender never stops, last season everyone was surprised by his form when he joined Arsenal FC. Now he rises again with Newcastle United, recently promoted to the FA Premier League. The price of the transfer was not revealed, but Campbell quoted "At this point of my career I couldn't wish for any better move than this one". Well, we wish Campbell the best.
