Free kick Master Competition!!!  

7/4/08




How is this not being advertised all over? I don't know, but it sure as hell seems like a hot event. $1 million to the winner with some of the best free kick takers on the planet including Ronaldinho, Messi, Del Piero and many more... It also features top class keepers like Mondragon, David James and Kasey Keller who'll compete for half a mil. Check out their website, it's a bit ghetto looking but very detailed, even has videos.
Anyway, I'd put my money on Juninho to win it all but Lyon didn't release him. Other expected players include retired Romario, Dunga and Jorginho, Fernando Torres(although he didn't confirm), Julio Baptista, Martin Palermo, Robert Pires, Muntari... Sadly it'll only be available on TV by PPV.

Additional info by Jayce:
Its in Houston. Tickets range from $20-$470 (VIP seating)
Zidane is expected as a celebrity judge. Kickers are playing for 1 million dollars.
How does the whole world not know about this?!
And i looked into the PPV situation, couldn't find a carrier. Dish Network only has wrestling and porn available as pay-per-view-choices.. No soccer anywhere. Might just be a European broadcast.

Also.. Rumors are that the LA Galaxy will meet with Ronaldinho after and make him an offer.

LA Galaxy offers big money to 10R - The Americans are willing to pay him a salary of € 18 million a year. But to get his signature, they've offered Barcelona € 30 million. Take a look at the jersey he was wearing during the charity match "Ronaldinho's Friends x Messi's Friends", it says: Galaxy! Given that the theme of the event was: "A Game From Another Galaxy"... Only his team's jersey displayed that name. A hint?? (Anything is possible?) Not Really, his brother just came out and said "no way". The chances of him going to Milan are 80% - 90%.

Barcelona signed Gérard Piqué from United - They repoed this Catalan, but they should've never let Cesc go... (Fact)

Inter Milan will meet Roma to discuss the signing of Mancini. (Fact)

USA Thierry Henry  


A Frenchman in a tie tshirt and hi-tops?! Only in New York.

Henry was recently spotted in NY playing in a charity game organized by Steve Nash. He told some fans that he plans on finishing out his career in the US and showing Americans how to celebrate a goal.
He was recently left out of Barcelona's promo tour posters for this summer.
This has added speculation that he may be headed to the US soon?
Sure would make the MLS more entertaining.
