Let's address the Sara Carbonero and Iker Casillas relationship talk.

First, we need to say that Sara strikes us as that girl we all knew at school. The rail thin one that swears she doesn't deprive herself of food. The girl that's class president who also wants to be the yearbook editor while organizing the senior prom.

I'm not feeling particularly inspired this morning. The 2009 MLS Cup Final left a bad taste in my mouth, very similar to the feeling you get from that awful concoction dentist use to "polish" your teeth.

Now comes this story, alluded to yesterday by one commentator on this site, that he is off to Germany to try his luck there. Click to continue reading...
