Wow! If being relegated wasn't reason enough to be depressed, this will change all that. The funny thing is, they know it's ugly and for that reason, it's 20% off. Poor Geordies...

A man in Malaysia was stabbed by his wife when he got home after watching a friendly match between Manchester United and Malasian.The poor guy was a bit late after hanging out with his friends after the game and received a hell of surprise when he got home. Then the wife felt bad and took him to the hospital, but of course was arrested and the man is in stable condition.I'm just glad my wife is

Nice to see CR9 and Raul are getting along well... Or is it? And maybe a little too well?I went to FIFA's home page and the first thing I saw was that. A hell of a shot, I must say.

Boy was I wrong?! I said that Inter wanted too much when they asked € 40 million plus Alexander Hleb and Eto'o in exchange for Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Sounds like a hostage situation by the way...Well, Barcelona said I see you, and I raise you € 5 million. So € 45 million plus Eto'o and Hleb, however, the latter one would be on loan. Still, that's quite a bit.The transfer hasn't been confirmed yet,

We all know Real Madrid has signed big names and is looking to challenge Barcelona next year, but what we don't know is if it'll work. A lot of the comments I've been hearing reflects concerns about their defense and draws comparisons to the "Galacticos" era where that area of the field was left in need.

The deal was sealed at € 21 million plus a possible € 4 in case AC Milan makes it to the Champions League with his help. Now Ronnie's participation in the Olympics is questioned since Kaka wasn't released by the club. But it's possible that he has asked to take part in the Games as part of his contract. Wonder what number he'll be wearing... Seedorf is 10.. His brand is 10R... Someone will have

After much criticism, Lewis Hamilton redeemed himself at home in the English Grand Prix. The McLaren driver won the race under precarious situations due to heavy rain and a extremely wet track. He dominated the race since the beginning leaving behind BMW Sauber's Nick Heidfeld for more than a minute's distance.

He had to sweat to do it though, a final score of 3/2 with partials: 6/4, 6/4, 6/7(5/7), 6/7 (8/10) e 9/7.Federer lost in his own backyard, also breaking a streak of 65 straight wins on grass. However he is still ranked #1, but Nadal is much closer now. The match had to be interrupted due to heavy rain when the Spaniard was already ahead.

The store, which opened in 06, has started to carry it's own line of design inspired by the player himself. The clothes vary in style, ranging from classic to sports wear at more affordable prices as opposed to when it started, which offered other brands like "Armani".A fashion show was thrown to display the CR7 style and it certainly seems to have worked as sales went up immediately afterwards.
