Real Madrid defeated Valencia with 9 men on the pitch. ok. Robinho didn't play. ok. Madrid played better with Raul and Guti off the field. ok. Robben can't score, dribble, pass or take on defenders better than Robinho but at least he can run down the right and left flanks with passionate strides of skillful dribbling until Real Madrid figure out what to do with the outstanding Brazilian who looks like he is on his way to Chelsea.

As a Madridista I'm already experiencing withdrawal from having to accept the fact that Robson de Souza "ROBINHO" will be taking his 'fantasy futbol' skills to Chelsea. Still, although I'm upset, I realize I'm not upset at ROBINHO, I'm upset at CALDERON and Mijatovic.

SAF certainly believes that Cristiano Ronaldo will be staying. I just don't think that Calderon and Ronaldo know this. Chelsea did indeed make a big money bid for AC Milan's Kaka and according to the Italian club, they rejected it.... Click to continue reading...

First off, let me explain why I've been lacking on the actual content side of things lately.

I hate the off-season in all sports, but especially so in soccer. There is no other sport with a "silly season" as public and pronounced as soccer.
