president arrives.
After reading a few articles, I've realized that it is entirely possible the Arrested Development
movie could hit theatres during World Cup 2010. Talk about sensory overload...Let's just get this
out of the way, I don't want to talk about it. A certain Kenneth Perez boots FC Twente back to the
third qualifying round of the Champions League in a rout of the new champs.
Ladies & Gentlemen, its time once again for the World Cup Buzz Rankings for May 2009. Not much
action took place between the last of the World Cup qualifiers in April and the release of the new
FIFA Rankings. So there isn't much change in the World Cup Buzz Rankings. The only change from last

Shakhtar Donetsk took the UEFA Cup title today in Turkey after beating Werder Bremen 2 -1 on
extra time. The match ended 1 - 1 with goals from Luiz Adriano - from Shakhtar, and Naldo - for
Werder. Goals which were, by the way, beautiful ones. But it was Jadson who shook the nets of the
German team to give Shakhtar Donetsk its first UEFA Cup title.
Before the start of the 2008 European championship, Turkey was given the Turquoise kit to wear for
the competion and the world cup qualifiers. After it caused controversy because it was not part of
our Nations colours it was decided that Nike would design a protocole for the remainder of the

Turkey managed to reach the Semi-Finals after tying 2-2 with Brazil in the group stages. They were
