Kaka also known as Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, was born is Brasilia the capital of Brazil and later he moved to my hometown Sao Paulo. First he started playing in the junior Sao Paulo FC team, and surprisingly he rarely started of games. The reason it’s supposed to surprise is that today he plays for AC Milan the world champion of teams and also he is the Best player in the world according to the magazine France Football and FIFA. Before he became a pro-footballer he had an accident when he was 17 and was in vacations in a water park in a town called Caldasnovas. In this accident he hit his head in the slide and almost became a quadriplegic. After six long months he miraculously recuperated and today he thanks that to god and Jesus, and also that has converted him in to a very religious person. In his first game in 2001 for Sao Paulo the club that discovered him, he came in the finals of the Copa Rio-Sao Paulo against Botafogo from Rio as a substitute when they Sao Paulo FC were losing 1-0 and then he scored the two winning goals and gave Sao Paulo the championship.(I might refer to Sao Paulo FC as Sao Paulo too, this may sound obvious, but you never know). His nickname Kaka came from his younger brother Rodrigo who when he was young could not say Ricardo so he just said Kaka instead. As I said today Kaka plays for AC Milan and for the Brazil National team. The video above tells the story of the waterpark I tolds in the paragraph above. Later in the video he explains his goals which if you did not know he accomplished all of them.

Today eight teams of the 16 teams played in The UEFA champions league knockout round of 16. This is how the knockout round works two teams play a home and away game for example lets say team A plays team B in team B’s stadium and they tie 1-1. Then in the next game team B tie’s with team A 2-2 in team A’s stadium that would qualify team B because of the away game rule so lets the final sum of the amount of goals equal 4-4 then whoever has the most goals in the other teams stadium would qualify. In the example game the final sum was 3-3, but since team B had more away goals(goals in the other teams stadium) they qualified. In the second game AC Milan needing a victory at home in the San Siro against Arsenal lost 2-0 qualifying the English team Arsenal. The goal scorers for Arsenal were Fabregas in the 83rd minute of the game with a good play that ended with a kick to the left side of Kalac the AC Milan’s Goalkeeper and Adebayor in the 89th minute of the second half with a soft left foot shot. In the other game Manchester United from in England faced Lyon after a 1-1 game in France, the Frenchman needing a 1-1 tie to at least go to penalties lost 1-0 after Cristiano Ronaldo foiled there plans after scoring the winning goal for Manchester United in the 41st minute. The next game was between Sevilla from Spain and Fenerbahce from Turkey in Spain. The Turkish team had won in Istanbul 3-2, but in this game Sevilla started of better and in the 5th minute of play Daniel Alves the Brazilian scored and right after Keita the other Sevilla man scored in the 9th minute. At this moment it seemed like Sevilla would be qualifying but at the 20th minute of the first half Deivid the Brazilian scored the the first goal for the Turkish team making it 2-1, but this result would still qualify the Spanish team because of the away goals, and on the 40th minute Kanoute made it 3-1 for the Spanish, but the Turkish team wasn’t out of it yet because all they needed know was one goal to take to the penalties and that was exactly what happened in the 78th minute Deivid scored that goal. Know the match went to penalties making this exiting game into one that would go down to history. Fenerbahce with more confidence won it 3-2 in penalties with three saves from the Turkish goalkeeper Volkan. The last game this Tuesday was between Barcelona from Spain and Celtic from Scotland, they were playing in Spain now and the Spanish had the advantage after winning 3-2 in Scotland with an amazing goal for the Barcelona side by the Frenchman Henry. The game started fast paced and with only two minutes of play Xavi passed it to Ronaldinho who passed to Slyvinho who crossed it and then Xavi pushed it in giving them the lead. The game continued and nothing changed but with the 1-0 Barcelona still qualified. Tomorrow the following teams play with each other, Real Madrid from Spain play Roma from Italy in Spain and the Italians got the advantage after winning 2-1 in Italy, next the English team Liverpool plays Inter de Milao from Italy in Italy after Liverpool won 2-0 in England, unfortunately that match was postponed till the 11th of March because the field is used and in bad conditions after the AC Milan game. Next the other English team Chelsea plays Olimpiacos from Greece in England after a 0-0 game in Greece. Last FC Porto from Portugal play Schalke 04 from Germany in Portugal after winning 1-0 at home in germany. The team i was cheering for was AC milan and they lost and were eliminated and that is really bad for me and know I will probably continue watching but with less excitement.
