Pavel Nedved Retire before being Axed

in Uncategorized

Pavel NedvedPavel Nedved doesn’t have any injuries and is perfectly fit but announces he is no longer playing for the Czech National team to give younger players a chance and says it was a difficult decision for him.

I don’t think it was a difficult decision for him to make since he doesn’t really have any options, and the difficulty lies in his acceptance that he can no longer play and keep up with the younger players in the National Team. At 34 years old, it would be foolish for a coach to include him in the team and build plays together with him as he is already at the sunset of his career and most likely would not be a factor in Euro 2008, let alone FIFA World Cup in South Africa on 2010.

Beckham’s Resignation as Captain was a Blessing in Disguise

in News & Features

David BeckhamA lot of David Beckham’s fans were sad when he stepped down as captain of England following their World Cup exit, but it turned out to be a sub-conscious guard mechanism to lessen the pain for a future axing from the captaincy.

England has been an underachiever for as long as people could remember and David Beckham’s popularity is all that’s left of their image and success, whose loser status in footballing world was cemented by their early exit once again, so as the future of David Beckham on England.

Alex Ferguson has resigned from the position long ago and stated that the World Cup would be his last assignment for the country, and this is an indication that a revamp will follow soon after, including David Beckham who will most likely be stripped of his role; but little did people know that he’s leadership role is not only in danger but also his membership with the club.

Terry, immature drunkard to a mature England captain. Congratulations.

in News & Features

John TerryReprimanded for drunken and disorderly behavior back in September 2001 and charged on assaulting a nightclub bouncer in 2002, the immature and irresponsible John Terry grew into a fine man and good leader as the captain of Chelsea since 2003 leading them to back-to-back Premier League titles.

Very young at 25 years old, John is an excellent choice of McClaren for having the experience, leadership characteristics, responsibility and technical skills to lead England in successive years. He will develop and become more valuable for England and for the future of the team.

Ronaldinho is bitter in World Cup Loss & Snubs Zidane

in Uncategorized

Can you just imagine the media frenzy that exploded right after Zidane’s headbutt followed by the world talking about the incident for both football and non-football fans alike? His headbutt move is found everywhere from televisions, posters, screensavers, pop-ups even in non-football forums where users use a gif photo showing his headbutt move as their icons.

Not for Ronaldinho who admits he has never seen that moment nor any other news after they lost to France.

He is bitter about their loss and hid himself far away from the world back by retreating to his roots at the southern Brazilian town of Porto Alegre.

This is definitely a better job than what was first offered to him — manage World Cup Finals of 2010. There is no glory in acting as administrator of the greatest sport in the world. Carlos wants to be on the sidelines with player not on some seat high above where the action is.
