Lately the soccer negotiation world has been on fire. Many offers have been made lately., but very few negotiations have been ended. Keita ex-sevilla has gone to Barcelona, and Edmilson ex-Barcelona has gone to Villareal. The biggest deals being talked about are Ronaldinho going to Milan, Kaka to Barcelona,Chelsea, and Real Madrid, and Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid. The soccer world seasons in Europe have ended and now the business has started. Rumors are running and Coaches are trying to get deals. Jose Maurinho has made promise to bring Deco to Inter. I would be really looking forward to seeing Ronaldinho in MIlan and his partner Eto’o in Milan too, but those players cant forget that Milan will be going to the UEFA Cup, not the Champions league. The next year MIlan team will be great in attack if we get the players expected, Ronaldinho and Eto’o who will join Pato the revelation, and Kaka 07-08 Best player in the world. Coaches have moved such as ex-Chelsea, Jose Maurinho has moved to defending champions. Although the biggest negotiation this summer would probably be Cristiano Ronaldo going to Madrid because he recently won the Champions league and is probably one of the best in the world. Last this tuesday Amauri ex-Palermo will sign in with Juventus because of his excellent performance in the Serie A Italiana. Many teams at the moment will probably wait for the Eurocopa to close deals because they want to see the European performances just incase they found someone better then they were going to buy, unless they are planning to buy a player from another continent, other than the uropean. Unfortunately many negotiations have not happened and eventually they will come and the some will shake the world and change it. Until then the suspense will stay and fans will pray all over the world for there team to get the best deal to create the championship team they want.

The Eurocopa is the second biggest soccer competition, after the World Cup. It happens every 4 years and many European national teams go through though qualifiers to get to the actual competitian. This year it will be held in Austria and Switzeraland. I myself am looking foward to this competitian because it substitues the World cup for me. The biggest surprise was that England, with players like Beckham, Terry, Lampard, Gerard did no qualify. I will be cheering for Portugal and Italy because they are my favorite European National team. The favorite team to win this competition is probably Italy because they are the deffending world cup champions. Also because they have players like Totti, Cannavaro, Buffon, and Pirlo. The other reason I will be cheering for Italy  is because my cousins are Italian and because I Like the soccer team.Portugal although has the third best player in the worl Cristiano Ronaldo,who recently led his team to the UEFA champions league Championship. This competition is a major competition mainly because its in Eurpe but the truth is that the cup is one of the hardest prizes to get because of all the countries in Europe.The qualifiers started about 3 years ago and it took a break during the World cup. I can’t wait for it to start and I think this will be a great year for the cup, the reason being both countries worked really hard to make it possible. Recently FIFA the international futbol federacion located in France built its home base in Switzerland. I am glad to see these small countries gaining attention., and I think unlike other famous soccer countries they will not take it for granted. The cup will start june 7 and will go until the beginning of July, because after that we have the long awaited Olyimpic games in China. But thats another topic thanks for reading.

Yesterday the day went by so slowly, there was only one thing on my mind, the quarter final round of the Libertadores. Specifically the game was, yes, Sao Paulo my favorite team vs Fluminense, the surprise in the cup. Finally the game started after hour of waiting. Sao Paulo were favorites but in my mind anything could happen in our house the Morumbi. The game started and Sao Paulo like always pushed forward to the goal. Finnally we got results when Hugo made a shoot/ cross which the goalie deflected, but for their luck the rebound went out and eventually it was a goalkick.  Gees the game got me tense and my eyes were glued to the TV the only thing I could see or hear was the TV. My heart started beating faster and faster and they were getting better in the game, but we were still dominating. I felt relieved and in happy when in the 31st minute Adriano made a long pass to Dagoberto who kicked but fortunately the goalie deflected it to Adriano who tapped it in. I was happy and then I felt a horrible leg cramp happy, yes I was, but in horrible pain. After it relived I got up and jumped up and down from the joy. But damn that cramp hurt. Finally the half was over and I took that time to relax and to get ready for the half, which meant I had to eat dinner in 5 minutes. Relaxed and ready for it to start the game re-began and Sao Paulo had that chance which hurt when they missed and my heart pumped faster and faster and my breath got heavier. Dagoberto missed that chance and i wanted to cry for that miss. I could not believe my eyes. The game was tense that one goal difference was the only good,positive thing. Lucky for all off us the game ended 1-0 for Sao Paulo, thanks god.

This Sunday a major soccer game happen, Ac Milan played Inter de Milan and this game was known as a derby match, because they were arch-rivals. This match would decide a lot because if Inter won they would be crowned champions of the italian league and if Milan won they would bump up to 4th place and would be in  the Pre-UEFA Champions league zone, but Milan also counted on Calgiari winning Fiorentina who were 2 points ahead of them. This match started really and for me to watch it I had to wake up at 6:30 am because the game started at 7:00 am. Boy was I tired because the night before I slept at 1:30 am. After being fully awake the game started. I was so nervous and I was getting really anxious  for the first goal. Surprisingly Milan started of dominating the game something no one expected. The first chance came when Kaka(best player ever) made a pass that any player would die, it split the defense. Inzaghi received the ball smoothly with no problems, and kicked to the goal but for Inter’ luck Julio Cesar their goalkeeper saved. Everyone who cheered for Milan and were watching let out a disappointing ”ohh” including me. The game became more tense when Seedorf made a wondrous pass to Kaka who crossed it and Inzaghi let Milan fans down when he headed the ball and the ball slowly bounced out of bounds. It was sad to see it and my heart started beating faster then ever my eyes were glued to the game. The first half ended 0-0, Milan had pity for them because of that score. On the second half everything seemed the same Milan pressured and Inter defended. Something in those Milan players was amazing they ran from one side to the other, they wanted that game, you could see it. On the 51st minute a reward shook the nets, when Kaka obviously ran with the ball down the sideline and crossed it in and Inzaghi anticipated the Inter defenders and headed it in. Milan 1-0 Inter everyone roared with joy. I myself ran around so happy, I jumped up and down and could not contain my happiness. But yes it got better when 4 minutes later Kaka smoothly scored it with a gentle kick/tap around the keeper to the near post. Milan 2-0 Inter, it couldn’t get any better. Until Inter scored from a free kick hit by Julio Cruz. The game went on to end 2-1 for Milan. The other results also favored Milan, but not Inter, Fiorentina had lost to Calgiari 2-1 which bumped Milan to 4th place, Roma had won 3-0 against Sampdoria and were in 2nd place 3 points behind Inter. With 2-3 matches to go this got better and better for Milan and worst for Inter.
