Ei futbolitas, many of us may be familiar with the louco Brazilian CQC gang (even Felipe Andreoli officially knows how much nós adoramos!) In case you happen to be living under Fabio Capello's rock, it's a politically-incorrect current affairs programme that stands for 'Caiga Quien Caiga'.

You hear the term thrown around a lot. The Best Player in the World is not an easy title to hand over to anyone, but this last week Carlo Ancelotti coach of the first place Chelsea Blues admitted that his key forward, Didier Drogba, might in fact be one of the best all around players in the world.

One of the great heartbreaks of my soccer-watching life was watching Argentina lose against Germany in the quarter finals of the 2006 World Cup. But I knew that with so many great players in the squad--Messi, Riquelme, Crespo, Aimar, Cambiasso, Coloccini, Tevez, Mascherano, Zanetti, Milito, Heinze, and others--that they'd arrive in South Africa ready to make things right.

An airborne Argentinian. Say it isn't so. Crespo shows his aerial abilities.

Please help out Don Diego.

He should go for a 4-2-3-1 with either Diego Milito, Gonzalo Higuain, and the best of the lot, poacher exemplar Hernan Crespo as the lone striker allowing the three man attacking midfield in Datolo, Aguero, and Messi to become more creative, open up the spaces, and create goal scoring opportunities.

(highlights di Odense-Genoa)
Era iniziata malissimo. Nel riscaldamento, si era fatto male Crespo, costretto al forfait e, dopo solamente 15 minuti, il Genoa doveva fare a meno di Juric (portato poi in ospedale) colpito violentemente da una testata in pieno viso di Djemba-Djemba. In più, nonostante ottime giocate e gol sfiorati, i rossoblu uscivano dal campo, a fine primo tempo, in svantaggio contro l'Odense. Click to continue reading...

Last season hardly any team could have matched Barcelona, but that is not the reason for the rest of big Spanish clubs like Sevilla, Valencia, Atletico Madrid and Villarreal not to give their best in the next season.

Sevilla

Thanks to excellent form in the finish, Sevilla managed to come in third last season, which under the new rules sends Spanish, Italian and English teams automatically to the Champions League.

What is it about the opening game of the World Cup that makes it more likely for an upset to happen than on the opening day of the Premier League season each summer?

In previous World Cups, Cameroon beat Argentina in 1990, Senegal beat France in 2002, Belgium defeating Argentina in 1982 and so on.

Da poche ore è un giocatore dell'Atalanta. Girato al Genoa dall'Inter, nell'ambito della trattativa che ha portato in nerazzurra la coppia Thiago Motta-Milito, il presidente del "Grifone", Enrico Preziosi, ha raggiunto un'intesa con il procuratore del calciatore per il prestito del centravanti alla squadra di Angelo Gregucci.

Neanche è iniziato il calciomercato (la sessione estiva) e già siamo qui a documentare il primo grande colpo. A metterlo a segno sono i viola che si aggiudicano le prestazioni di Hernan Crespo, a fine contratto con l'Inter. L'attac­cante argentino, cittadino italiano da quasi tre anni, era da tempo in cima alla lista dei desideri di Pran­delli, tecnico della Fiorentina. Click to continue reading...

Atletico Madrid have announced that they have parted company with Portuguese midfielder Maniche by mutual consent. Maniche's contract was set to expire this June, but both the parties reached an agreement that makes Maniche a free agent again. Maniche, whose real name is João Ricardo de Oliveira Ribeiro, joined Atletico from Dynamo Moscow in 2006. Click to continue reading...

Inter came from behind to nab a share of the spoils from Roma after being down 3-1. The end result was 3-3 with Super Mario grabbing a brace and Crespo heading in the equaliser with his first touch after coming on from the bench. Click to continue reading...

Se acabaron las especulaciones en Montjuic. El Espanyol ya ha conseguido cerrar los que parece que serán sus únicos fichajes del mercado de invierno. Iván Alonso, delantero uruguayo del Murcia, y Óscar Ahumada, centrocampista argentino de River Plate, serán los dos futbolistas que reforzarán el plantel de Mauricio Pochettino.

El Espanyol no cesa en su intento por hacerse con un delantero de garantías en este mercado de invierno, algo que se antoja urgente en el club blanquiazul, ya que es, junto al Recre, el equipo con el peor ataque de la Liga. El nuevo técnico 'perico', Mauricio Pochettino, ya ha pedido a la directiva [. Click to continue reading...

¿Olic al Valencia? ¿Crespo al Madrid? ¿180 'kilos' por Kaká? ¿Qué le pasa a la prensa deportiva en los últimos días? Parece que hay cierta escasez de noticias y que a los diarios no les queda otra que inventárselas. Si no, me dirán ustedes qué pintaría Ivica Olic, atacante del Hamburgo, en el Valencia.

After it was confirmed that Dutch international Ruud Van Nistelrooy would be out for the remainder of the season, the Madrid brass began Operation RVN (Replace Van Nistelrooy). It would not be easy to find a player that would fill the shoes of one of the top goalscorers in the world the past decade, but it [. Click to continue reading...

Here's what I found interesting after reading various calcio news sites today:

-First, we have another managerial change in Serie A. Chievo haven't won since the first week of the season and manager Beppe Iachini has been sacked. Taking his place will be Domenico Di Carlo, who was in charge of Parma until March of last season.

Here's an interesting story from Goal.com where Glasgow Celtic are rumored to be pursuing veteran Argentinian international forward Hernan Crespo during the winter transfer window. This would be a very exciting move for the Celtic fans and also the Scottish Premier League as Crespo has been an international star for many years, played for many big clubs, and could provide a real lift for the team in their matches whether they are in the Champions League or UEFA Cup come January.

Well Jose Mourinho finally got his man with the signing of Ricardo Quaresma from Porto. This is a great move for Inter Milan as they needed some younger players to add to their aging squad, and it also give Mourinho a chance to put his own stamp on the squad. I was beginning to wonder when Inter were going to make a really big move. Click to continue reading...

The Olympic football has pretty much flown under the radar in the UK until today, with the powerhouses of Brazil, Argentina, Nigeria and, er.... Belgium all in action. Contrary to popular perception, players in the Olympics don't have to be amateur any more, but each team is only allowed to have 3 players over 23 in the squad, therefore creating a very youthful tournament.

Mortgage prices are dropping, the credit crunch is hitting us all, and it seems the only things in life that are getting more expensive is food, petrol and footballers. The amount of money spent on individual players these days is ridiculous. Is Cristiano Ronaldo really worth 75 million? If we actually look at what Real Madrid would be getting for their money, it's a name basically. Click to continue reading...

L'imbarazzo della (non) scelta. La Roma ha bisogno di rinforzi pronti. Bando alle scommesse, quindi. Pradè, a disposizione, ha un budget pari a 18/20 milioni di euro per puntellare la rosa giallorossa. Si attende, dunque, rimanendo pronti a sferrare l'attacco decisivo. Oggi Spalletti ha fatto il punto della situazione, non senza destare preoccupazioni nella tifoseria. Click to continue reading...
