Barcelona Star Lionel Messi Deserves Ballon d’Or – Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo
Real Madrid fans may not like it, but their star has been praising Barca. Messi received special praise from ‘CR9′…
Cristiano Ronaldo believes that Lionel Messi should win the coveted Ballon d’Or award and feels that Barcelona are still a better team than Real Madrid.
This is only news because Ronaldo has said it out loud but there is no denying the dream season Messi has had. It would be a crime if Messi didn’t pick up the Ballon d’Or later on this year.
Sepp Blatter: World Cup Play-Off Seedings Should Have Been Announced Sooner
FIFA president believes seeding process could be improved…
FIFA president Sepp Blatter has acknowledged that the way in which the seedings for the World Cup qualifying play-offs were decided could have been better managed.
File this under a day later and a dollar short. One of the few times FIFA admits its mistakes but that do the bottom four seeded teams much good at the moment.
France Coach Raymond Domenech Riles Irish With ‘England B’ Jibe
The France coach has handed his Irish counterpart a great motivational tool…
France coach Raymond Domenech has found a way to make sure that Ireland’s players will be more motivated than ever ahead of their World Cup play-off by referring to Giovanni Trapattoni’s team as “a sort of England B side”.
This comment is so stupid part of me thinks Raymond Domenech was misquoted. The again it is Raymond Domenech so you never know. Either way you know this quote will be tossed around in the locket room before Ireland and France kick off.

Domenech is such a tool and everybody knows it. Zidane was pretty much the manager for the last world cup. If ireland is an england b side then surely france is an african all-stars. What a moron! hope he enjoys watching the world cup from his armchair. Come on you boys in green
