Phwoar!

He may be well and truly into the autumnal phase of his career, however, at 36-years-old, David Beckham still has a craving for footie with a place in Stuart Pearce's Team GB side at the Olympics top of his to-do list.

...is another beginning. Sources close to the process have told ESPNLosAngeles.com that the Galaxy's willingness to accommodate Beckham if he were selected to play for Great Britain in the Olympic Games in London this summer was an important factor for the superstar, who was a key pitchman for Britain's bid.

The usually "too cool for school" Man City star Mario Balotelli was grateful to make use of the local educational facilities of a Manchester school on Thursday lunhctime, after the superstar was left in desperate need of a wee-wee.

Raúl, Superstar! Und wieso er so ein Star zum Anfassen ist, den die Fans nicht nur in Spanien oder auf Schalke verehren, zeigt sich immer mehr.

Steve McManaman has backed Steven Gerrard to set Liverpool striker Andy Carroll on the path to becoming a "number nine superstar".
Carroll has scored just five goals in 30 appearances since his £35million switch from Newcastle and this season he has appeared bereft of confidence.
But former Anfield favourite McManaman believes Gerrard, who is back in action after an injury-dogged 2011, has the quality to bring the best out of Carroll.

It's the eve of Christmas Eve... and um fim de semana de festas para Neymar! We know there are many out there who're close to joining the "Neymarzetes" (the equivalent of Justin Bieber's street team) and for that, we wish you the best of luck.

Omar Bravo is gone. David Beckham could be gone. Nicolas Anelka isn't coming.

The Designated Player landscape in MLS is changing and evolving, and even with teams having the flexibility to go after younger DP options or giving players like league veteran Shalrie Joseph a DP deal, the lure of landing a big-name, marketable superstar is still prevalent.

Real Madrid players have lamented their 3-1 loss to arch rivals Barcelona at the Bernabeu last night with defender Sergio Ramos saying that losing to the Catalans is always more hurtful.

Speaking to the press after the loss, Ramos was also quick to offer his congratulatory remarks to Barca.

MLS Commissioner Don Garber admits MLS underestimated how much David Beckham was capable of dictating the terms of his five-year contract with the league when he joined the Galaxy in 2007. Nothing we didn't already know about how bush league MLS was back then, but interesting to hear Garber admit how little control over Beckham the league exerted.

The Shin Guardian invited Philly Soccer Page to write a preview of Thursday night's Philadelphia Union game against New York. And when the Shin Guardian calls, it is PSP's Adam Cann who answers the call.

Looks like Brett Holman might miss the next World Cup Qualifiers due to injury - so a chance for Timmy Cahill to come back in?
International football - players come and go pretty quickly.
Just five years ago, Cahill was a bench warmer for Hiddinks team in 2006 - he came on with explosive impact and now just five years later his international career is less secure.

Liverpool is being touted with a move for PSV Eindhoven's Dutch starlet Georginio Wijnaldum.
The 20-year-old attacking midfielder, who has been likened to Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, is gaining the attention of a number of European clubs, after growing unsettled following his €5 million summer switch from Feyenoord.

Liverpool could again try to sign the Real Sociedad starlet Antoine Griezmann after missing out on him last year, because the youngster has revealed he would like to leave the club at the end of the year.
Last year Liverpool was close to signing the 19-year-old French superstar, but Griezmann decided to stay in Spain with Sociedad and signed a contact until 2015.

Yep, this again.

After arriving back home in Spain on international duty with the U21s, David de Gea has been ceasly quizzed over the incident that saw him being caught half-inching a Krispy Kreme from the Tescos in Altrincham an incident which, as tedious as it is now becoming, is also keeping him in free donuts.

All summer, we've heard rumors of Kobe Bryant signing in Europe to play basketball during the NBA lockout. On Friday, those rumors became reality when Kobe Bryant agreed to join Virtus Bologna. The Italian league team will pay the Los Angeles Lakers superstar $3 million to play a total of ten games over 40 days.

When Kenny Dalglish signed Jordan Henderson this summer, it was undoubtedly a move to try to find a long-term successor for Anfield legend Steven Gerrard, not that he is looking to hang his boots up any time soon. This will then give Henderson time to learn from the Liverpool Legend and hopefully develop into a superstar.

Chelsea's Spaniard superstar striker, Fernando Torres, admitted that he did made a mistake in the game against Swansea as he shouldn't committed the tackle which eventually caused him being sent off from the game not long after scoring a goal for the Blues.

Although the replay showed that the Spain international didn't really done something malicious towards Gower, Torres acknowledged what he did is dangerous despite revealing that there's obviously nothing intentional from the tackle.

Manchester United star Nani has insisted he wants to be likened to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as one of the best players in world football.
The 24-year-old has bloomed at Old Trafford following his move from Portuguese outfit Sporting CP back in 2007, even though it took the winger a while to settle to the style of football in the Premier League.

Gian Piero Gasperini went winless in his five matches as Inter's manager

The nil-nil result between Inter and Roma at the weekend was one that sparked a debate over which under-fire manager would go first, Luis Enrique or Gian Piero Gasperini.

Everton 2 - 1 West Brom (aet) - Carling Cup.

Well I say nice, it wasn't a classic but always good to progress. Frustrating in parts but with impressive performances from Drenthe, Velios and Fellaini and lovely goals from the Divine Afro and Phil Neville (superstar, got more medals than Steve Gerrard).

Despite playing a risky, aggressive game, Dempsey rarely gave the ball away against City, and had three good attempts at goal. Is this evidence of a distillation of the various Dempseys we've seen so far?

One of the interesting things about the Martin Jol era has been the play of Clint Dempsey.

One of the most beautiful things in football is when you see an old superstar started to regain some of his peak. Things we seen in Romario in the 1997, Zizou in 2006 and now seems we are seeing the return of the magician, Ronaldinho,
After a strong return to Flamengo and some wonderful goal, especially the last week when Ronaldinho scored directly from corner kick,
now, he played a great game for Brazil vs.

I think most people agree that as long as referees are humans not super robots, and as long as FIFA insists to keep football almost the only sport without technology assistance for referees, we will keep debating if the ball crossed the line or not, was it an offside or not, penalty or not, scored by hand or head .

Jamaican superstar Usain Bolt gained compensation for last weeks disqualification in the 100m World Championship Finals by taking gold in yesterday's 200m equivalent, recording the fourth quickest time ever in the process with a time of 19.40, only the great Michael Johnson has run faster 19.

Soccer superstar will be the subject of a soon to be released documentary from sponsors Castrol. The firm describes the piece as "showing what makes him one of the best footballers of his generation. The film takes an in-depth look at the skills and strength required for Ronaldo to perform at the very highest level.
