Robin van Persie, the balon d'or snubbed, true king of world football, has been reeling in the
plaudits for his exceptional scoring feats in 2011. By eclipsing Thierry Henry's mark of 34 goals
in a calendar year, and particularly by playing in a less competitive and more transitional team,
he has booked himself a seat in the waiting room of the Pantheon of Arsenal Greats.
They won 2-1. Imagine what Xavi would have done to celebrate winning the Balon D'or. Image via

Real talk: how many of you guestimated the measurements of Xavi's youknowwhat?

No Pepe, we couldn't believe our eyes either.
Joe Corona appears destined for a big 2012 as he continues to contribute for Club Tijuana while
becoming a bigger part of the U.S. national team set-up. All of that is on the heels of what was
just recognized as a pretty sharp 2011.
The 21-year-old Corona won the Golden Ball as Mexico's top rookie, beating out finalists Alfonso
Luna (Atlante), Armando Zamorano (Jaguares) and Hector Herrera (Pachuca) to take home the
award.

La Copa Africana de Naciones 2012 será la 28ª edición de la Copa Africana de Naciones.
La pelota fue llamada "Comoequa", y posee la misma tecnología que fue utilizada en el balón
diseñado para la Eurocopa 2012, el ya celebre "Tango 12".
Por su parte, "Comoequa" tiene un amarillo predominante y colores que se inspiran en las banderas
de los dos países organizadores ya que se disputará tanto en Gabón como en Guinea
Ecuatorial.

It's nearly the end of 2011 (already!), which means its time for leagues and/or associations to
bestow some shiny medal to a few of footy's fiercest faces and bodies. Personally, we can't say we
have a storied past of winning things and thus, know how it feels since most of the plaques stored
beneath our desks say "Dirty Tackle" on them, but we (like most girls) have practised our beauty
queen waves all the same.

The final three men shortlist for FIFA Balon D'OR 2011 has been announced. The final list is no
surprise to anyone following serious footballing action - Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Xavi
Hernandez. Actually everyone know who is going to win - Lionel Messi. But still you need a three
man shortlist.
The number if Italians plying their trade abroad is steadily increasing. Yet despite this, there
wasn't a single Italian named on the Balon ‘dor short list last week. In one way this isn't
entirely surprising given the common disregard Serie A is held in nowadays. Since the hey-day of
the last 80′s early 90's, financial resources of Italian Serie A clubs have decreased
significantly.
Don Balón ha rodado ininterrumpidamente por los quioscos españoles desde 1975,solo que ante su
inminente cierre y una pagina en construccion han decidido que podria salir a los estantes cada mes
para no perder a sus fieles lectores.
Pues bueno cada año sacan una lista de los mejores jugadores juveniles que estan jugando bien o
pueden despuntar, en esta ocasion el requisito es que hayan nacido despues de 1 de Enero del año
1990.
Wayne Rooney lone England player on FIFA Balon D'or prize list
Wayne Rooney is the only Englishman on the provisional list for the FIFA Balon D'or award. His
United team-mate Javier Hernandez is also listed along with Manchester City's David Silva and
Sergio Aguero plus Liverpool's Luis Suarez.
Sin duda este gol en la Russian league del jugador Michail Osinov en el partido entre Mitos
(Novocherkassk) contra Olympia (Gelendzhik), esta causando polemica, ya que puede ser el gol mas
rapido del mundo, por lo menos en Rusia si lo es.
Solo que como algunos aficionados ven en el vídeo se debio de anular,ya que el pase de salida fue
hacia atras cuando debe de ser hacia adelante, extraño que el arbitro lo haya dado por bueno, pero
al parecer hay un jugador que toca el balon y el otro es el que lo retrasa como el jugador esta de
espaldas y tapando la pelota no se alcanza a ver bien,por lo cual puede que el arbitro se haya
percatado de ello.

Somehow, Deep Down Inside, we all knew that it was going to end in divorce between the 2 of
them..When Florentino Perez became the President of Real Madrid for a second time, many probably felt
that here we were again, right back on the pattern of hiring and firing at least one coach per
season till the silverware came along.

Esa pregunta se la han de hacer varios padres de familia futboleros en el mundo, pocos los
elegidos, pero los que llegan tienen éxito tremendo en el fútbol mundial , el caso del niño que
triunfa y esta en la cima es el mismísimo Lionel Messi, que siendo argentino nunca jugo en un
equipo de su país natal, tomo hormonas de crecimiento desde antes de los 12 años y es ahora el
mejor jugador del mundo,jugando con el maravilloso Barcelona.

Once upon a time, (AKA shortly after the abomination that was SATC2), the internal Kickette
crew ran out of acceptable movie options, forcing every last one of us (plus pets!) to hit the pubs
hard. You may have even noticed, if you have actually been paying attention over the last couple of
weeks, that our commitment to you has been in question due to our disorganized priorities.
El Principito Andres Guardado es base en el tricolor nacional, esta lesionado y en pronta
recuperación, pero todos sabemos de su calidad en la cancha y el amor a la camiseta .
Por eso en este mes de los enamorados habra un concurso y el ganador se llevará, una camisa
original de la Selección Mexicana, una caja de chocolates y tarjeta de San Valentín.

On Wednesday, Pique only had eyes for NFL star Chad Ochocinco. Who knows were his baby blues will

Trying to act oblivious to the consistently erratic reports on his love life, Gerard Pique spent

Johnson.
FC Barcelona Beat Real betis 5-0 in Copa Del Rey Quarter Final first Leg
The newly crowned FIFA-Balon D'Or World Player of Year, Lionel Messi celebrated his scuccess in
grand style scoring a hat-trick in the first leg of Copa Del Rey quarter final clash against Real
Betis. The scoreline would give us an impression of a very easy outing, but it wasn't that
easy.
FIFPro announced the 2010 World XI yesterday during the Balon d'Or gala in Zurich, a list
consisting of the years best goalkeeper, the four best defenders, the three best midfielders and
the three best attackers. The list goes as follows: Goal: Iker Casillas (Spain, Real Madrid);
Defense: Maicon (Brazil, Internazionale), Lúcio (Brazil, Internazionale), Gerard Piqué [.
In an absolutely proud night for FC Barcelona, Lionel Messi won the inaugral FIFA- Balon D'OR
World Player of the Year. The award was presented by Pep Guardiola . Everyone of us expected either
Xavi or Iniesta to pick it up this year, but have to admit that it finally went to the Best Player
in the World.
