David Beckham and Landon Donovan

David Beckham is once again living up to his name as one of the greatest soccer players. Just this week he was named as the Major League Soccer player. The goal he scored on last Friday’s game against San Jose Earthquakes is his first for the MLS regular-season goal. Aside from Beckham, team mate Landon Donovan also made a goal. The two of them assisted each other with the ball to make the goal. The Los Angeles Galaxy won over the San Jose Earthquakes on a 2-0 score. With the team’s win, Beckham is not only happy that he was able to score a goal, but also that the whole team played well.

Italian soccer team AC Milan is currently the holder of the UEFA Champions League, well for three years now. Aside from this award AC Milan is also a holder of 13 European titles, 16 International titles and 17 Series A title in the domestic area. And with Emirates agreeing to sponsor their team, they should be even more inspired to play the best game. AC Milan will be the fourth team that Emirates has sponsored after Paris saint Germain, Hamburger SV and Arsenal Football Club.

David Beckham

David Beckham must be feeling so bad right now…because of the injury on his right knee and the speculation that he could not play for the rest of the year. Both factors are quite bad for a star-player as Beckham. This injury was acquired last Wednesday after Fernando Salazar, midfielder from their opposing team Pachuca, tackled him in their SuperLiga title match.

After acquiring the injury here’s what Beckam had to say, "It's gone from one thing to another…It's hard to tell, but it doesn't feel good. With a ligament strain, it's four to six weeks, but we'll have to see."

Although Beckham was present at the teams practice yesterday, he's still suffering from his ankle injury. He was spotted putting ice on the injury a few times while on the green.
I guess the fans who have bought tickets to the match are going to get a bit of a disappointment!

Iraq First Asian Cup

After the almost non-stop bombings and wars Iraq has a reason to celebrate. In the Asian Cup held on Sunday in Jakarta, Indonesia, Iraq won their very first Asian Cup. This victory is a very inspiring one for Iraq because of the tragedies that they have recently experienced. Iraq’s soccer team won over Saudi Arabia in a 1-0 score. The Iraq team was not daunted by the fact that the favor leant heavily on the Saudi Arabia team, which won the Cup for three times already. Iraq soccer team’s captain is Sunni Turkman and the whole team is made up of Sunni Arab and Kurdish players.

Paolo (born on the 26th June 1968 in Milan, Italy) is the son of Cesare Maldini, a former Italian football player and coach. Therefore the talent runs in the family. Paolo is the living proof of the fact that it is true when they say, “like father, like son” because in 2003 Paolo captained AC Milan to the UEFA Cup Championship back in 2003; which happens to be 40 years after his father reached the same achievement.
Maldini is regarded as one of the best Italian players in the era and is recognized internationally for his unquestionable talent. His outstanding achievements speak for itself, including World Player of the Year Award. A man with fantastic captaincy, brilliant capability to play both by feet and defence, his sharp and well-timed attacking runs, his ice-cool nature and very grounded has his name recognized at a World Class Player.

Last night, AC Milan was crowned the Winners of UEFA 2007.

The man responsible is Filippo Inzaghi; who happens to be the very same man who was forced to sit out in the Finals in Istanbul two years ago, allowing Liverpool to win the Cup and raise it high.
Two years later, he was back and on the pitch making up for what happened. A goal in each half from him guaranteed that AC Milan will take their sweet revenge back at Liverpool, and most importantly get(ting) their hands back on the Cup. Filippo Inzaghi, is now the man responsible for AC Milan claiming the UEFA Cup for an extraordinary seventh time in Athens.

AC Milan and Liverpool delivered a brilliant and entertaining game. It all started solid, but eventually one had to take the lead.

For AC Milan and Liverpool the road to Athens was one that both teams truly deserved; after AC Milan’s enthralling defeat against Manchester United in one of the best games of the season and with Liverpool’s thrilling defeat against Chelsea in an exciting, hopeful and outgoing game. The finals seemed to be a very promising entertainment that would be packed with great potential.

Indeed it was at the Athens Olympic Stadium. Last night, the UEFA Finals delivered another brilliant game. From the very start to the very end the constant high level of capability and talent was maintained and delivered.
