"Bilo-Syni" (White-Blues) come from Kiev, in Ukraine is one of the oldest and top teams in the Russian and Ukrainian leagues.

Dedicated YouTuber Maestro 21 has put together highlights of Ronaldinho's debut for AC Milan against Bologna. Yes, Milan lost 2-1 and yes, any player can look good if you edit together their best moments. But there's definitely enough evidence here to suggest old Gaucho has still got it. Lots of shimmys and even a few flashes [.

In honor of Andriy Shevchenko's upcoming reunion with Jose Mourinho in the Milan derby this weekend, I offer you this moving tribute to their time together at Chelsea. The text is a little hard to read, but it takes us through Sheva's dark early days at the club, then shows how his hard work, [.

Calling all Milanista, I got it wrong and admit it but what's more important is understanding why.  The key to today's victory was manager Ancelotti getting back to basics. Take a look at the starting XI, leaving Ronaldinho and Andriy Shevchenko on the bench was the right move.  Ancelotti would instead go with young Pato and Marco Borriello and a Pirlo-less midfield that supported the front [.
