Terry And Gerrard Ease England To Victory
England 2-0 United States
England comfortably beat the United States with goals from captain John Terry and Steven Gerrard, labouring for the opening half-hour, which was fairly tepid, but asserting themselves well after going ahead on 38 minutes and playing some good football in the second-half.
The U.S were really the perfect match up for England in this spot. The U.S are a good team but they lacked the quality to challenge Terry and Rio Ferdinand at any point during the game.
Another point I took from the game. I’m all for Fabio Capello trying to new things but Lampard and Gerrard just can’t play together. Wish I knew why but it just doesn’t work. Barry and Gerrard are a much better fit.
Fiorentina chief Mencucci delighted with capture of AC Milan’s Gilardino
Fiorentina have completed the signing of AC Milan striker Alberto Gilardino.
Smart move for Gilardino. He never took his form with Parma to A.C Milan. Gilardino and Mutu should link up well for Fiorentina next year.
Barzagli Happy With Wolves Move
Andrea Barzagli insists that he is happy with his decision to join German club Wolfsburg from Palermo.
So much for me thinking Barzagli would be a perfect fit for Fiorentina last week. Guess that Volkswagen money was too good to turn down.
Mijatovic: Real Madrid sold Ronaldo and won Liga
Real Madrid were proved right in selling Ronaldo to AC Milan in January last year, says sports chief Pedja Mijatovic.
Real Madrid comes off real smart for selling Ronaldo to A.C Milan in the January transfer window for 8 million when they could of sold him four months previously for 30 million.
