Denilson was once touted as the young bright hope of Brazilian soccer, and even compared to the great Pele. Blessed with quick feet and a dribbling style that resembled many Brazilian legends that had gone before him, Denilson was a hot property in Europe before landing in Spain. Once there, he suffered the same plight that befell many other young Brazilian players before him that came with the 'next Pele' nametag. Click to continue reading...

While my editorial team works on the match highlights for this match of the week in the Spanish Primera Liga between Sevilla and Barcelona, I just want to report on how the game went first.

Now Real Madrid is really coasting to the Spanish Primera title this season but they are doing it with some adventure and fun, scoring many but conceding just as many. But who cares when you have enough firepower to overwhelm all your league opponents right?

Now for the goal highlights between Villareal and Deportivo Coruna. Lots of goals and drama in this game as the home side crawled back from a 2-1 deficit to hammer Deportivo before another late goal for the visitors made it a nervy last few minutes.

The news from the highlight reels regarding Barcelona and Real Murcia is that Thierry Henry is back and he badder than ever! Of course, looking at this comp, you can also see he is back to his old whining self but the man has mad skillz and he's now showing what the Emirates Stadium is missing against Birmingham but you can never doubt Arsene Wenger's evaluation and I'm sure come the end of Henry's playing career his highlights would still belong with Arsenal.

A first-half Julio Baptista goal gave Real Madrid a 1-0 win over arch-rivals Barcelona at the Camp Nou in La Liga's final round of matches before the Christmas break.

My deepest condolance to Antonio Puerta and his family, it brings me memories of Marc-Vivien-Foe and how he too dies too early on.

Rossi, well-known for his US-Italy - which team to do I want to play - tug of war, was born in the NY metro area and is one of the many youth prospects found and nurtured by Manchester United, but eventually - due to the attraction of bringing in big name players, already established - he was cast aside.

Chelsea's 25-year-old Holland defender,Khalid Boulahrouz , has joined UEFA Cup winners Sevilla on loan for a year.I actually think this is a good move by Chelsea, i know many people want to crucify Boulahrouz for his poor showing in Chelsea colours but than again a defender in the Premiership needs more playing time than was given to him, plus it was his first ever season in the Premiership, Chelsea fans will of course remember the penalty he gave away to Arsenal last season but like i said he wa not playing regularly prior to that and was suddenly thrust into action and lots of pressure was on him to perform, we are humans after all.
