Here is the list of the world's 50 highest paid soccer players. Who is worth the money? Who isn't? Should Zlatan Ibrahimovic be getting paid more than his teammate Lionel Messi? Does Thierry Henry deserve to be in the top 20?

1 Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid, £11.3million)
2 Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Barcelona, £10.

The chain of events in full:

1. Gary Neville is born, to Neville Neville

2. Gary Neville grows up to be a total dickface

3. Carlos Tevez leaves Man Utd, feeling unwanted, signing for local rivals Man City

4.

Carlos Tevez last night launched an astonishing attack on John Terry and warned: "If you acted like this in Argentina you'd be dead."

Before the Manchester derby there was an interview with Gary Neville published in one of the UK's biggest tabloids. In that interview Neville said that he didn't believe that Carlos Tevez was worth...

The Europa League fixture between Manchester City and Lech Poznan will be played at the City of Manchester Stadium on Thursday 21st October 2010, kick-off is set for 8:05 PM.

After Carlos Tevez signed for Manchester City the club bizarrely opted to put a 'Welcome to Manchester' poster up in town as a dig to Manchester United fans. It was a strange move for a football club to hire a London design agency and fork out loads of money just so they could wind up opposing fans.

£50 million dump. Here's the round up...

Rumour No. 1: Manchester City are preparing to jettison £50 million worth of players in the summer as manager Roberto Mancini begins a total rebuild of his squad.

Emmanuel Adebayor, Wayne Bridge, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Stephen Ireland will all face the boot at Eastlands, and the Italian boss is planning to kick start his overhaul with a £50 million bid for Liverpool striker Fernando Torres.

It's safe to say that before the current season got underway, no one would have anticipated this. In an unusually straight-forward statement made by a dejected Sir Alex Ferguson, it was confirmed that Wayne Rooney, fondly and widely considered to be the "heart and soul" of Manchester United, was intent on leaving the club.

Cristiano Ronaldo is top of the rich list with a staggering £11.3million salary alone, that's not to mention sponsorship deals and bonuses.

Surprisingly enough, Manchester Cities mercenary, sorry forward Emmanuel Adebayor is currently the Premier League highest played player with a salary of well over £7.

He's been a superb fantasy footie selection this year as well as Manchester City's number one player on their quest for Champions League football, but it looks like Carlos Tevez is set to leave City in the summer after a falling out with manager Roberto Mancini.
The 26 year old Argentine is in the prime of his career and has already scored 29 goals for Manchester City this season, but it has been reported that the scar-faced striker does not appreciate Mancini's training methods and is looking for a move.

Manchester City's Carlos Tevez has branded Manchester United's Gary Neville a "boot-licker" and a "moron" in explaining his goal celebration in Tuesday's Carling Cup semi-final Former Manchester United striker Tevez gestured and cupped his ears towards the United bench after scoring twice in Manchester City's 2-1 derby win.

This gameweek it is doubletime for Manchester City, Stoke, Bolton and Wigan in Barclays Premier League. And out of those four it's Manchester City who has the easiest feast. Bolton at home and Stoke away. Emmanuel Adebayor is back from the ill-fated trip to African Cup and has scored in last 2 matches.

Las frases o dichos futboleros dan cada perla,que hasta da gusto,otras la verdad todo lo contrario,aquí hay una recopilación de frases de personajes del mundo de fútbol,listas para ser rescatadas. La mejores y peores frases de este año 2010, de lengua me como un taco.
POLOKWANE, SOUTH AFRICA JUNE 17: Javier Aguirre head coach of Mexico issues instructions from the sideline during the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Group A match between France and Mexico at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on June 17, 2010 in Polokwane, South Africa.

Lionel Messi had the weekend off, putting in a relatively quiet shift, but Gonzalo Higuaín scored again as Real Madrid kept up the pace in La Liga. Elsewhere two Argentines got their hands on the French League Cup, Martín Demichelis donned a face mask to return to action for Bayern München (he'll be using it [.

So Carlos Tevez has taken a step towards sartorial respectability with a new haircut. No. He still doesn't really do it for us, either. But it's a start. Image via mcfc.co.uk

Meet Sir Charles Tevez Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has been poking fun at his notoriously poor English skills in the new Pepsi advert. He becomes Sir Charles Tevez, keeping proceedings at the Promo of the Year award ceremony in Manchester on track. Apparently, the basic premise is that the drinks promotion is so simple [.

Ah, it's that time of the year again and I simply love it. No, not Christmas, but the end of the year lists that all end up being about the same everywhere you look. Seriously, I think every music magazine has awarded album of the year to Kanye West, but that's a topic for another article.

The Guardian posted a poll asking its readers whether Manchester United should have kept Carlos Tevez. A surprising majority said 'yes.' Can this be chalked up to the fickle feelings of fandom? Or is it sincere affection for the man who scored 37 goals in all competitions while wearing red?

Like a gambler in a casino, Sir Alex Ferguson went through a full range of emotions as he watched his side crash out of the Champions League last night.

There was the initial euphoria of seeing his bets pay off as two surprise starters, Wayne Rooney and Darron Gibson, were key to Manchester United storming to a three-goal lead against Bayern Munich.

A shining performance by City, but one to make Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal look up? Yeah, definitely. Although Liverpool were woeful Hodgson should never have persisted with 4-4-2 City looked strong and played as a team, like a Chelsea in the making.

Remember the great Manchester Billboard War of 2009? The ceasefire was never particularly observed and it is have been well and truly broken in the wake of Carlos Tevez handing in his transfer request. Here is a collection of some of the Photoshop re-workings of the infamous 'Welcome to Manchester' advert taken out when Tevez [.

Manchester City won 2-0 today - through Adebayor, Tevez, and an inspired Adam Johnson.
Meanwhile, Robinho was scoring beautifully flicked on backheel goals in Brazil...
Will Robinho ever have a serious impact on the Premier League? Or will Adam Johnson, who cost 1/4 of the price at only 8 million Pounds, end up having a more productive Premier League career?

Portuguese marketing agency Futebol Finance has published a list of the top 50 footballer's salaries this season and it's pretty obvious who would be top of the list but there are still some interesting results. The wages shown are just for this season. There are a whopping 19 players above Manchester United's Wayne Rooney, something [.

Zanetti out, as Messi leads Argentina charge
By STEPHEN WADE (AP)

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — World player of the year Lionel Messi will lead Argentina's attack at the World Cup.

There was no room for veteran defender Javier Zanetti in coach Diego Maradona's provisional squad for the tournament, however.

Unlike most other major sports, soccer doesn't allow technology to assist the referees calling matches down on the pitch, which can either work for you or against you.

Here are four reasons why people may tend to think that FIFA should start using technology to communicate with the referees on the field during the games.

Morning all and welcome, once more, to the daily World Cup column on Soccerlens.

There's exactly one week left, and two of the biggest fish have now been comprehensively removed from the pond.

Who'd have thought that the oft-cited South American dominance, that had been so prevalent in the early stages of the tournament, would culminate in Uruguay (rather than Brazil and Argentina) reaching the semi-finals?

Jeremy Spitzberg: have you put together a "real" team yet? Jeremy Spitzberg: guess there's no hurry Neal Thurman: check your text messages Neal Thurman: :-) Neal Thurman: EvdS, Boateng, Koscielny, [space for Korolev], MPet, Eth, JCole, DSilva, Chamack, new LIV striker, Roonaldo Jeremy Spitzberg: why don't you just TELL me what movie you want to see Neal Thurman: ?

Barcelona and Argentina star Lionel Messi has put himself in the headlines once again, this time by stating his belief that Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson regrets his decision to not sign Carlos Tevez. The Argentine striker, who played with Messi at the World Cup, is now just miles from Old Trafford as he plies his trade for Manchester City.

1. Penalties for Bent sportsmen were always likely to be high on the news agenda on Sunday after the cricket revelations, but Manchester City probably didn't envisage it affecting them quite so badly. 2. Talking of betting scandals, you would have put your house on Carlos Tevez scoring that ridiculously straightforward sitter.

Football is without doubt the biggest, most stupid sport in the history of the planet. The unthinkable regularly happens like a London bus timetable. And not just on the pitch, but also behind the scenes.
You probably live and are reading this article on Mars if you haven't yet heard the 'new' Wayne Rooney rumour.

Manchester City beat United 2-1 in the first-leg of a Carling Cup semifinal.
Carlos Tevez provided both goals for the boys in baby blue against his former team, which provided some nice drama, especially with ex-mate Gary Neville.

The art of translation is a wondrous thing. What's complimentary in one language is a vicious insult to someone's dead relatives in another. And "getting the point across" with a similar, but not quite exact, translation doesn't always "get the point across". Gary Neville got the point across with his little gesture aimed at Carlos Tevez [.

At last, a player comes out and says what so many fans have been thinking for almost 20 years.

Carlos Tevez called Gary Neville a "boot-licker" and a "moron" in a radio interview with ESPN Argentina:

"My celebration was directed at Gary Neville.

I knew I'd enjoy Diego Maradona's contribution to World Cup 2010, but I thought it would be more about his crazy antics like running over cameramen, making diva-ish requests and gifting us brilliant brilliant quotes. I dind't think it would be for his tactics.

Yet that's exactly what happened today, when Maradona fielded easily the most attacking line up of the World Cup so far, and Argentina beat Nigeria 1-0.

Due to injuries & yellow cards, Maradona decided to make the following modifications for tomorrow's Game - All eyes will be on Inter's lethal striker Gabriel Milito - Let's see if this new group can jive with Messi.
Out >>>>>>>>>>>>> In
Jonás Gutiérrez >>> Nicolás Otamendi
Walter Samuel >>> Nicolás Burdisso
Gabriel Heinze >>> Clemente Rodríguez
Javier Mascherano >>> Mario Bolatti
Angel Di Maria >>> Juan Sebastián Verón
Carlos Tevez >>> Sergio Agüero
Gonzalo Higuaín >>> Diego Milito

Maradona's hand of god goalFor the second time today, we see a situation where technology could've helped, it didn't help because FIFA doesn't allow it. It's funny, because back in 1986 when Maradona scored with his hand, video technology would've solved that enigma; so you'd expect that 24 years later the governing body of football around the world would add video technology, but I guess not.
