Transfers...  

7/4/08



The latest transfer news are causing a ruckus and there are many of them, so I've decided to give you a quick update. Be sure to check the full post after the jump for more transfer talks:


Robinho for Drogba - Chelsea proposed a swap. (Talks)

Arshavin to Chelsea - Roman has told Scolari that his "designated Russian" will be their Euro Hero. (Fact)

Daniel Alves signed with Barcelona - Last Tuesday. (Fact)


Jo signs with City - And gets number 14. (Fact)

Gomes moves to Tottenham - The Brazilian keeper left from PSV.


Tomasson leaves Villareal - The Swede returns to Feyenoord where he played from 1998 to 2002.


Deco signed with Chelsea - The newest member of the Scolari family(also his first signing) cost the Blues 10 million Euros. (Fact)

Real Madrid willing to pay €85 million for CR7 not a cent more - Meanwhile his sister has said that he wishes to stay at United. (Hype)

City still after 10R - Milan says he still wants to move there. Then why not sign him already? (Hype)

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)

Mourinho says Lampard might not move this season, but defo next season - That's because his contract runs out next season and Scolari is not willing to let him go even after acquiring Deco. (Talks)

Mourinho going after Xavi. (Talks)

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.

Ground Moves can humiliate!  

6/24/08


As we take it to the streets, I've decided to give you all little taste of how respect is earned out there... This is a compilation ranging from the Street Legends with the likes of Jermaine "Vaantje" Vannenburg, Eddie "Krillin" Van Gills and Issy "Hitman" Hamdaoui to Futsal with the great Falcao. Great Street players pride themselves with number of casualties they leave on the battlefield and you'll see that even children fell victim...
The only problem is, the video's embedding capabilities have been disabled, so just clickety click here and get blown away by the skills.

New Gunner! Samir Nasri  


Arsene Wenger's eye for young talent never seems to disappoint, and this time he has signed the kid who has been tipped as the new Zizou.
See the wonder kid in action after the jump...
The 20 year old Olympique de Marseille attacking mid will be signing a four-season deal and will most likely replace Alexander Hleb, who has been linked with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter Milan. Nasri's transfer fee is running around 20 million euros.

This ball looks more like a meteorite... What is Adidas planning?
The picture was taken from an Adidas store in Viena and it displays the balls used in the finals for the African Cup of Nations and Champions League, but the third one is supposed to be for the next World Cup. Man, I would hate to be the goalkeeper that has to stop that...

Lack of posts  

6/23/08

I apologize for the lack of posts recently. Been hard at work at setting up the next thing in American Soccer, we're taking it to the streets.
The first street soccer league featuring live music, 4 v 4 games, and all sorts or goodies starts next week.

To make up for all this time you're not reading OTP, I'm bringing you some stuff to stay occupied.
First thing... go chase your dreams. That something you love. Go get it or do it better.

It wont come to you, you need to go get it.
Check out the video at the bottom of this post for inspiration.
Diddy and Lil' Wayne's secrets to success...


He suggests sleeping less. Sounds like a good idea until you actually try it.

If you're already successful and just want to be entertained...  posted a couple of links that do just that after the jump.

Oh and 3rd thing.. leave a comment. I would love to hear your thoughts on the site, life, soccer, whatever.


The Leila Texts- Through a glitch in the Verizon network, she gets text messages sent to "leila"'s around the country. She provides humorous commentary along with it.

Hot Chicks With Douchebags- Um... It's a site with hot chicks with douchebags. You know the type. Slick backed hair, popped collars, overly proud of their muscles, often look greasy, sunglasses at night..... yea, those guys with hot chicks.
