Real Madrid just confirmed Ronaldo will be out injured for the next 4 weeks healing his ankle injury.
The horrible tackle by Olympique Marseille’s Diawara during the CL game forced Ronaldo to miss Real Madrid’s game against Sevilla. Real Madrid lost and a lot was written and said about RM’s dependency on CR9. Supposedly recovered for [...]

Man-of-the-Match:
Simão (8): And at the 9th game there was light. Beauty in motion. Pace and skill. The crowd stood up and cheered. Simão’s critics, myself included, were all screaming for Nani to take his place. He knew he had to shut everyone’s cake-holes. Apparently he had it in him to easily accomplish such task. And [...]

There you have it: Portugal is back on track to play the World Cup. The team played some gutsy soccer, at times slow at times fast and beautiful, more of the later… finally. The goals showed up and with them my most unexpected surprise: Simão. Thank you for proving me wrong boy. Loved it!

What a game.
Dominated both games against the Danes. The difference in quality between both teams just can’t be measured by the number of points both have in the group standings. But nothing’s gone change the fact we lost 5 points against them.
In this game the lack of a killer-instinct-striker just isn’t enough to explain [...]

Queiroz has given an interview to Record newspaper and from what I can make of it he and Madail are in bed with each other so if one stays the other is sure to keep the bed warm.

Apparently our beloved coach has a plan. Wow. Are you relieved? I am… not entirely convinced. He [...]

Queiroz has spoken… or should I say listed. Well we now finally know who will get us through the next 2 victorious games.
As expected Liedson got his name on the list. All though he isn’t in top form he sure as hell can score goals so I expect us to see just that. 33 [...]
