Brazil's Corinthians have just become Club World Champions 2012 after defeating Chelsea 1-0 in the final in Japan on a goal by Paolo Guerrero. A fully deserved victory as Corinthians seemed like the team that most wanted to win the trophy; Chelsea were good in the first half, and had some good chances that were prevented by an excellent Cassio on the Brazilian goal.

After Inter defeated Seongnam Ilhwa 3-0 in the semi-final, it seemed like Rafa Benitez's team was
beginning to get into it's stride. The display in the final against TP Mazembe was amazing, with

This weekend is a big one; in all three leagues (Serie A, English Premier League, and La Liga) we
have some big matches. What we also have this weekend is the FIFA World Club Cup Final between TP
Mazembe and Inter Milan, and it is the first time that an African side has reached the final of
this tournament.
Morocco will become the first African country to host the FIFA World Club Cup finals in 2013 and
2014 after a successful tournament in Japan this year. The tournament will however remain in
Japan in 2012 before moving to the North African nation in 2013.
The world governing football body revealed that Morocco won the rights to host the tournament
after the withdrawal of bidders South Africa, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.
If Alexander the Great conquered the known world and beyond by the age of 30, Samuel Eto'o
has come pretty close on the football field. He has just been named African Footballer of the Year
for a record fourth time and shows no signs of calling a halt to an already
illustrious career.
The football was nothing to write home about in 2008-2009 but in terms of excitement and nerves,
it was one of the best seasons for years. As usual, we were fighting it out for the title, but this
time it was against our hated rivals, Liverpool.
United were a few matches behind everyone else at the turn of the year after taking time out to
compete in and win the FIFA World Club Cup.

Alas, 'tis that time of year again when thoughts invariably turn to the 'new' and stock is taken
of the twelve months that played out hence and we forthright bods at Soccerlens are no
different.
As we yet again slide effortlessly over the cusp of a footballing decade and into 2011, we
thought it high time to bestow the deserving (and, conversely, shame the contemptible the 'Biggest
Losers' list is imminent!

Season's have their turning points, and I have a feeling that today was a crucial one. We saw
Inter Milan rise back to form with a 3-0 win over TP Mazembe in the FIFA World Club Cup final, and
we saw AC Milan fall to Roma at the San Siro, 1-0 for the giallorossi thanks to former AC Milan
player, Marco Borriello.
While in the Champions League all Italian sides made it through to the knockout stages, there
was a fear that in the Europa League there would be no Serie A teams. Luckily, Napoli managed to
qualify with a 1-0 win over Steaua Bucharest, thanks to a very late goal by Cavani. And there was
more good news for Italian sides around the world, Inter Milan were victorious in their semi-final
of the World Club Cup, and they'll be playing African champions TP Mazembe in the final of the
tournament.
