Abramovich Puts Decent Money for Russia

in News & Features

Russian billionaire is giving out $40 million for his country’s national football team which I doubt would go far enough to making his country a force to reckon in world competitions. Chelsea reached the top of the league through the money of Abramovich but we are talking about a huge amount. The money given to Russian football is just the price of a star player in Chelsea.

For political, social and patriot reasons, I salute Abramovich.

Jose PekermanU.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati is lying about his need of Pekerman to coach US simply because he could not get Klinsmann to sign easily for their team after his successful transformation of German football.

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.

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.
