It's time for your weekly dose of 'Baller Gossip! This week, read about Mario Balotelli's own personal Game Changer, Ronaldo's weight-watcher/DJ girlfriend and Barbara Berlusconi's crazy 12-hour flights in the name of 'amor'!
According to new reports in Italy's Vanity Fair magazine, your resident 'Bad Boy' and the anti-Lothario of Football Mario Balotelli has completely changed his outlook on life thanks to his new relationship.
It's official! Alexandre Pato has sealed a move from AC Milan to World Champion Corinthians for a chance to represent Brazil at this year's Confederations Cup, and in the longer-term, make the World Cup squad.
Corinthians announced that they had signed the 23-year-old on a four-year deal last night, and paid €15 million (with future sale rights split into 60% for the club club and 40% for the player, should they decide to sell him, presumably to another European club) for the striker.
Before Christmas, AC Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani confirmed that both Robinho and Alexandre Pato have handed in transfer requests.
Yesterday, Milan President Silvio Berlusconi said that he hoped to "lose only one" out of Alexandre Pato and Robinho, but he also went on to reveal that he had turned down a €40m offer for Pato.

According to Football Italia, AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi has ruled out a move for both Mario Balotelli and Didier Drogba after the Rossoneri were linked to January moves for the two strikers. However, Milan are notorious for toying with the media and though Drogba looks to be moving to Juventus, a San Siro return for Balotelli could be in the cards.
Unfortunately for AC Milan, their miserable form in the Serie A continued after a 3-1 loss to Fiorentina in the San Siro this afternoon. It's a "tragedia" in every sense of the word they've now slipped to 11th position in the league table which is utterly embarrassing, given the fact that former player Alberto Aquilani struck the opening goal and Alexandre Pato missed a penalty.

There is good news for AC Milan this week as Brazilian striker Alexandre Pato is likely to return to the squad after a series of injuries that have kept him off the pitch since August. Pato could play in the coming game against Lazio on Oct.
Despite being involved in a car accident a few months ago, Robinho and the entire AC Milan squad was still presented with one of the latest car models today from the club's sponsors today. The 'treats' were delivered during a special event in Monza earlier this week. Naturally, Pato and Robinho took it out for a spin.
It's time for your Weekly Gossip Special again! This week, read about Pilar Rubio and Sergio Ramos' secret reunion, Mario Balotelli's new apartment, Peter Crouch's night out, Pato and Barbara's boat ride and The Rooneys' new bundle of joy!
Finally, after weeks of 'hard work' and possible overtime from the Spanish paparazzi, new images of Sergio Ramos and TV host, Pilar Rubio, together have emerged.

Welcome to Offbeat Wednesday! This week, read about Real Madrid's preseason, Pato's fear of his
father-in-law, Silvio Berlusconi, Neymar's son and Mario Balotelli's baby mummy, Rafaella Fico, at
a spiritual retreat.
Sergio Ramos may look like a washed out Eurodance star in this
photo from Real Madrid's preseason-bound flight to the USA, but judging from his latest tattoo,
he's ready to roll with the rest of Los Blancos.
With the Olympics drawing every closer, like the impending visit of a large irritating relative,
OTP poses the question: if the British media clamours so much for the national team to succeed,
does the Olympic football team offer a greater chance of success? For far too long now, the tabloid
media has whipped the country [.
Huge news out of Italy as Sky Italia are reporting that AC Milan has accepted Paris
Saint-Germain's €65 million offer for Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
With an agreement over a transfer fee seemingly struck between the two clubs, now PSG needs to
reach agreements with the two players, something that they have struggled doing before.
As the saying goes, it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings. And the fat lady will not be singing
until August 31 when the transfer market officially closes. Until then, as Adriano Galliani warned
on Tuesday this week, "anything is possible though as the transfer market is very unpredictable."
And Uncle Fester would know [.
It can often be as exciting on the pitch, with all the highs and lows a good match can bring. I
talk of the transfer market, of course. This summer, however, may not a particularly enjoyable one
for Milan. The club's resistance to overtures for Robinho, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Pato and Thiago
Silva is set for [.
Welcome to Selecao Bootcamp a Futbolita tradition on the Brazil National
Team! Following their 3-1 win over Denmark at the weekend, the Brazilians have arrived in
Washington DC to face the USA in a friendly tonight. It has been billed as a test for the upcoming
Olympics, and Jurgen Klinsmann hasn't shown signs of taking it lightly.
Brazil's national team are heaving a huge sigh of relief because the
Euro Championships are virtually non-existent for them and friendly matches
scheduled from now are the equivalent of a "férias" (vacation). Well, at
least until the Olympics come around and Brazilians start yelling "Gold Medal for
futebol!
Chelsea have announced that they will Italian giants AC Milan during their US Tour this summer.

Not sure why the game got changed, but happy that it is going ahead though.

Not sure why the game got changed, but happy that it is going ahead though.
We did tune in over the past few weeks for bits of March Madness culminating in Calipari's
Kentucky completing the professionalization of the college game last night but we found it mostly
uninteresting. And although we haven't found the Champions League completely compelling this year
either, we'll certainly be watching these quarterfinal 2nd leg matches over the next couple days to
see which clubs advance to the Final 4 at which stage it should get very interesting.
Who will be the deciding factor at the Camp Nou tonight? This guy.
When all comparisons and statistics are placed on the table, it's tough to bet against Barça
getting the job done in front of ~90,000 supporters. Without the injured Thiago Silva once again,
AC Milan are the underdogs in tonight's Champions League quarter-final.
Then there was one. After the first set of games in the round of 16 it looked like Italy would have
at least two, if not three teams in the quarterfinals. After Inter's dismal showing against
Marseille, and Chelsea's comeback against Napoli, Milan remain the only Italian team in all of
Europe. It didn't get any easier for the peninsula as Milan were handed a big task.
In the aftermath of yet another embarrassing off-the-field moment involving Mario Balotelli, manager Roberto Mancini, directly involved in the incident, has backed the young striker to stay in the Manchester City squad.
Pictures surfaced yesterday afternoon of an altercation between Mancini and Balotelli during the morning training.
11 mesi. Così tanto tempo è passato (da Milan-Chievo dello scorso anno, ndr) per vedere di nuovo segnare il brasiliano Alexandre Pato che, grazie alla rete di testa realizzata ieri al 28′ della ripresa, salva i rossoneri dalla sconfitta contro il Malaga (gi negli ottavi...che impresa, ndr), in vantaggio con l'ex laziale Eliseu nella primaContinua a leggere …
Mexico won their first ever Gold Medal the Olympics (soccer tournament) by defeating favorites
Brazil 2-1 at Wembley Stadium. Brazil were the favorites with a talented squad worth millions in
transfer fees but could never recover from a slow start.
Mexico's Oribe Peralta gave his side a 1-0 lead with a goal in the first minute.
Lionel Messi scored a hat trick as Argentina edged Brazil in a heated friendly match. The match,
which saw seven goals scored between the two sides, ended with Argentina's Levezzi and Brazil's
Marcelo both being sent off.
Both players were involved in a scuffle as Levezzi kicked his counterpart while Marcelo hit the
Argentine in the face.

Subito un verdetto, di quelli forti. La Spagna del calcio è fuori dai Giochi Olimpici di Londra. I
ragazzi di Milla, infatti, piegati all'esordio dal Giappone, cadono anche contro l'Honduras di uno
scatenato Jerry Bengtson (a tre reti dopo la doppietta rifilata al Marocco nel 2 a 2 inaugurale,
ndr) e dicono addio alla manifestazione.
Football and the Olympics never really got along in the past, perhaps because it was perceived
as the sadder, forgotten cousin of the European Championships or The World Cup. Sadly in the
Olympics, the glory and glamour factor often commanded by
football has been whittled down to little bragging rights, a sad feat compared to events such as
athletics and swimming.
Away from the Euro 2012 action, you may have heard about
Brazil's unceremonious 3-4 defeat to Argentina at the weekend
(thanks to Messi's hat-trick) in an international friendly. The Brazilian press used their loss to
highlight their "poor defense", although when it comes to Messi, all the walls in
the world can't stop him!
La selección mexicana de fútbol dio un muy buen partido en el estadio de Dallas, el cual registro
un lleno total. Pasto exclusivo para este encuentro de dos selecciones muy populares. Los
aficionados saben que los partidos ente estos dos equipos son juegos muy entretenidos y casi
siempre hay buenos goles, hoy no fue la excepción, México le volvió a ganar a los brasileños
después de 5 años de no hacerlo.
Last night a crowd of 67,619 was on hand at FedEx Field in suburban D.C. to watch the United
States host Brazil in a friendly, the second friendly for the US as it prepares for CONCACAF World
Cup qualifiers. After a 5-1 drubbing of Scotland in Jacksonville on Saturday night, the US entered
Wednesday's match with a little extra momentum, but Brazil is Brazil and they picked up two goals
early in the first half, one of which was a penalty kick converted by Neymar in the 12th
minute.

Can you honestly say you expected the Yanks to win this one? Well, after the 5-1 hammering dealt
to Scotland perhaps US fans had good reason to. Reality check friends...Brazil is way better than
Scotland. Let us mow through some random thoughts together about the team and the game!
Defense: Timid on the ball, dynamic outside
Oguchi Onyewu's size may no longer offset his liability.
Clinical finishing and superb goalkeeping proved to be the winning formula for Brazil as they
defeated the U.S. Men's National Team, 4-1, at FedEx Field in Landover, Md, on Wednesday night.
Brazil came out strong in the first half grabbing a 2-0 lead with goals from Neymar and Thiago
Silva before the U.
Decidi fazer um exercício de pesquisar jogadores com "nome de animal" que joguem na IIª Divisão lusa. Há de tudo um pouco, desde insectos a aves... A baliza fica entregue ao veterano ribatejano Nuno Carrapato (na foto), actualmente no Ribeira Brava. Para a defesa, os eleitos foram Sardinha (Tourizense), Carneiro (Fafe) e Vítor Lobo (Padroense), sendo que estes dois não podem jogar muito próximos por motivos óbvios.
Firstly, apologies for the shite headline. I couldn't help myself. Anyway, on we go...
Bizarrely, coming into Saturday's Olympic final, Brazil had never ever won a Olympic gold in
football. And after a rather mediocre performance from the Samba superstars against a superb
Mexican side, the gold once again eluded the star-studded side.
