Inter have signed Brazilian youngster Kerlon most known for his "seal dribble" where he bounces the ball on his head while running. He's been at Chievo but hasn't had the best start in Serie A after a lot of injuries. He's 21 and joins on a three year contract. Not sure if it's a signing to get too excited about as he's unproven and will have a tough time with all the other strikers at Inter.

In an otherwise uninteresting match to decide 3rd place at the 2009 confederations cup. South Africa upset Spain who then upset South Africa who then upset Spain once again.

You could be forgiven for falling asleep watching this match as both sides seemed drained or uninterested for the most part.

Cristiano Ronaldo links up with Jeremy Lynch (a professional freestyler who was at Arsenal until age 14) for a short bit on Rio Ferdinands online magazine, #5. He's certainly able to keep up with Jeremy with his fancy feet that will now be in action for Madrid. It seems Rio is missing the winger already and has started dressing like him to ease his hurt.

I'm sure everyone tuned in last to view another run of the mill group stage game for Brazil in the Confederation Cup being held in South Africa. On paper the top of South America's qualification group for the world cup next year should have had no problems dealing with a team struggling at the bottom of Africa's group.

Yesterday the first two games of the Confederations Cup were played. The first being a mostly stale nil-all draw between the hosts and the Asian champions, Iraq. The real action was in the second game between the European champions Spain and the best of Oceania since Australia joined the Asian region, minnows New Zealand.

The deal has been pretty much finalised and at the end of the month he'll join up with Kaka' for Galacticos part 2. The amount agreed on? 80 million pounds! A new transfer record, surpassing the 56 million pounds Real agreed on for Kaka' but a few days ago. He's been busy partying with Paris Hilton and so only heard about it from his people while in LA.

Well the deal is done. After a lot of speculation and rumours, Kaka' has signed for Real Madrid with a record transfer fee of about 58 million pounds. The new world record eclipses the previous one, also held by Real Madrid for when they purchased Zidane from Juve back in 2001. It could've been much higher if he'd joined Man City in the middle of the season (around the 100 million pound mark!

If you've read some of my other posts about mercurial vapors, you'll know that I'm still very fond of my white mercurial vapor IIIs and chuck them on from time to time. About 6 months ago I got some chewing gum stuck on one of the boots and I figured it would just come off eventually just from wearing them during training/matches.

Inter celebrated their 17th Scudetto and the 4th one in a row in front of a packed home crowd with a 3-0 drubbing of Siena. Goals came from Cambiasso, Balotelli and Ibrahimovic. Inter actually became champions the night before when Udinese defeated AC Milan 2-1 and the boys didn't wait to kick off the party that very night.

Against the odds and shrouded in controversy, Barcelona have advanced to the final of the UEFA champions' league at Chelsea's expense. The real story is about how a literally last minute goal by Iniesta tied the score at 1-1 but meant that Barca win based on the away goal rule. This was after Abidal was sent off and all hope almost lost with only 10 men on the field.

Ibrahimovic stepped up for Inter as the season approaches it's end and a 4th Scudetto gets closer and closer. He scored the first and set up Muntari for the second with a sumptuous through ball. He also made a gesture to silence the fans, probably after some abuse when Inter lost to Napoli last week and also during this game as they jeered his mistakes.

Even though I'm certainly not CR7s biggest fan, I have to respect the long range screamer he scored to seal Porto's fate. Incredibly well struck and it may go down as the goal of the tournament. Although personally I thought Walcott's chip after a brilliant Fabregas pass was better overall.

There was 10 points separating Inter and Juve before last nights' match, and that same gap continues to separate the 1st and 2nd placed teams. With six games left in the season, there's little that can stop Inter grabbing their 4th consecutive Scudetto but they did taste Juve's fighting spirit as the hosts equalised in the dying minutes with only ten men on the field.

Ronaldo goes into his first Sao Paulo derby (Corinthians vs Santos) with an envious record. Two goals from four games. Not bad for any striker let alone one just coming back into play after a year off. On the opposite team is a striker just starting off his career and already getting noticed. The 17 year [.
