Liverpool defender Jose Enrique insists he is ready to fight for his place in Brendan Rodgers
plans.
Enrique was recalled to the starting XI for last weekend's defeat to Arsenal after being named on
the bench for the draw with Manchester City.
Rodgers has also used Stewart Downing at left-back this season and Enrique is happy with the extra
competition for places at Anfield.
Unless your name is Usain Bolt, we all realise after entering the big wide world that despite our
earlier dreams, we are not going to become professional footballers. With that in mind, we try to
find other ways of getting involved, whether that be coaching, working in the club shop, buying a
season ticket or [.

What a way to mark your home debut, Robin Van Persie lights up the Theatre of Dreams with this
tenth minute equaliser against Fulham after Damien Duff had the visitors in front as early as the
third minute.
This is a beautiful video of the great Manchester United Football Club theme song and anthem,
"Glory Glory Man United". I really like this version of the anthem as it features a lovely young
lady playing the violin, clips from the streets, fans both young and old supporting Manchester
United.
Manchester United's versatile defender Chris Smalling has been forced to pull out of Roy
Hodgson's EURO 2012 England squad after picking up a groin injury in the Red Devils' game against
Swansea last week.
The 22-year old had been expected to secure a place in the Three Lions' 23-man squad for Poland
and Ukraine, but his dreams of appearing at his first major finals have been KO'ed by the
injury.

Here we see Barcelona's U11 side taking on Arsenal a month or two ago, playing them off the park
with some lovely possession football and pretty much kicking your dreams of still being scouted by
a professional club squarely in the crotch as you approach your late, late twenties.
In which, in the kind of off-season excursion that probably hasn't been run past his employers
at any stage, Valencia's Mehmet Topal has a bash at a spot of bullfighting.
Faced with a young bull, Topal initially struggles to provoke the damn thing into charging at
him, but when he finally gets the veal in motion reality dawns pretty sharpish and the Turkish
midfielder bolts, impressively scissoring over the wall of the bullring just before the beef hits
the fan.
With rumors swirling about a possible return to Major League Soccer, a source close to Carlos
Bocanegra told MLSsoccer.com on Thursday that the American defender will remain in Europe, for at
least the 2012 season.
Just a few weeks ago, while Bocanegra was visiting the States to take part in MLB All-Star
festivities, Boca spoke candidly about a possible return, stating he was '100% considering a return
to MLS.
Marco Pappa: "I will not renew my contract with MLS"
As expected, Marco Pappa has come out and confirmed his time in MLS is nearing an end. Although
this article speculates Marco is more likely to be sold yet this summer, things have been pretty
quiet on that front in recent days. I think the most likely move is the rumored pre-contract he is
reported to have signed with Wigan.
What does one do with a day like Sunday, when the tectonic plates upon which your worldview sits
shift, shaking your beliefs about life and love and soccer to the ground, leaving you nothing to do
but to bury your dead, dry your tears, and walk into the vast desert that's left of your dreams?

Serie A Weekly Alessandro Diamanti stepped forward to take the final penalty kick which would
secure Italy's semi-final berth and end England's dreams.
The strongest group in the European Championships will produce two survivors today in a pair of
highly-anticipated matches in Group B.
The surprising Danes will look to knock off Germany today and take first place in the group,
which would be a stunning accomplishment for a team most considered the weakest in this group.
In what could be the greatest game of the Euro 2012 Championships so far, a massively
disappointing Holland side face Portugal with both teams future in this competition firmly resting
on the outcome of this match.
Holland sit bottom of the group having lost their first 2 games with Germany and Denmark, and
they will need to beat Portugal by 2 clear goals and hope that arch-rivals Germany can do them a
favour by beating Denmark.
The European Championships is one of the most prestigious international tournaments in the world of
football. It only pales to the World Cup in terms of popularity. It is a stage where legends are
made, where dreams are fulfilled, and ...

Every single tournament, EA Sports launches simulation series to determine the winner ahead of
time. They nailed Spain's World Cup 2010 win, but then so did an octopus. Was it really all that
impressive?
They've run out Euro 2012 for us, letting everyone know that Germany's going to come home with
the title by beating the Dutch conquerors of the Spanish in the final.
EA Sports is considering adding women's soccer and its key figures to a new version of its FIFA
line of video games. There are obstacles, of course. There always seem to be obstacles when we're
talking women in this sport, women in any team sport, sadly. BUT! Soon, I hope, I'll get to design
the team of my dreams and dominate.
Over 100 un-signed UK players started out with dreams of progressing to the Nike Global Finals
in Barcelona, where the winner will get the chance to sign a pro-contract.
The Chance UK finalists who underwent rigourous tests of skill and temperament are Jose Figura,
Liam Baker and Ashleigh Artwell who were put through their final pace's at the Theatre of Dreams
under the watchful eye of the United coaching staff and players including Rio Ferdinand who left
them some great gifts to at least look like a pro in Barcelona.

Chelsea are finishing up their U.S. tour in Miami, where they will play Milan on Saturday. A day
before the match, Colombian legend Carlos Valderrama turned up at a signing event and finally
brought cosmic synergy to the universe by introducing his hair to David Luiz's hair.
It was the kind of moment that dreams are made of -- a sentiment David Luiz expressed on Twitter
when he said, "My dream has come true!
The excitement is building as the start of the newly named Liga MX is just a few weeks away. On
July 16th, the official logo and anthem will be unveiled in Mexico City as the league prepares to

A simple question. What makes you purchase tickets, fight the traffic, spend your expendable
money on Sounders Women games? Is it the excellent product that is out on the field this season?

After the Torres story broke soon after Chelsea won the Champions League, it's been good to hear an
update from Nando as it was clear he needed to speak with the club. I wrote a post straight after
the story broke and made it clear that he has never said he wanted to leave and what's wrong
with wanting to confirm the clubs plans for him and the future!
So the play off final is nearly upon us, in a game that is worth an estimated ÂŁ90 million to
the winner, who will receive a place in the Premier League as their prize of winning the game at
Wembley.
West Ham face Blackpool with both teams attempting to bounce back into the top division at the
first time of asking both sides were relegated last season, and West Ham have had an amazing
season, finishing 2nd behind Southampton who've already won a place in the Premier League, whilst
Blackpool just managed to scrape into the Play Off positions.
Radamel Falcao has denied suggestions he could be on his way out of Atletico Madrid this summer
despite their failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
The Colombian enjoyed a hugely successful debut season in Spain, scoring 35 goals, 12 of which
helped guide Atleti to their second UEFA Europa League triumph in three years, and he is hoping to
build on that success in 2012/13.
