Ronaldo ready to move


Cristiano Ronaldo says "he would like to play for Real Madrid".  The Portuguese winger made his intentions clear in an interview with Brazilian newspaper Terra.  He also said it was not up to him to decide at this point.  He believes it is a issue between the two clubs now, and he will go to Real Madrid only when Manchester United receives the proper compensation.  Ronaldo also doesn't want to talk about any potential transfers until after the Euro's.  What do you guys think of the this never ending Ronaldo transfer saga?

Cannavaro will miss Euro's, Becks says stay Ronaldo


Canavarro to miss Euro 2008


Fabio Canavarro will miss Euro 2008 the Italian FA said.  He had a training ground collision, where he injured his ankle, and he won't be fit in time for any part of Euro 2008.  There is no word on a replacement yet, but Italy should be calling one in soon.  It is a sad sight to see the former World Footballer of the Year go down and have to miss a major tournament. 
Ronaldo to Madrid?

Cristiano Ronaldo has been told to stay at Manchester United, rather than moving to Real Madrid.  Beckham, speaking out of personal experience, said that it won't be a good decison for Ronaldo to leave Old Trafford, and go to the Bernabeau.  Real Madrid has also just said that they have the money to sign Ronaldo.  Madrid paid 40 million pounds for Zenidine Zidane 6 years ago, but it is rumored that they will pay have to pay much more than that this time.

Cristiano Ronaldo wants a move to spanish football after he said that "He would love to play in Spain."  He says after the Champions League final that he will consider his future.  This comes as a shock to the United fans, because Ronaldo has continually stated that he is happy in Manchester.  Real Madrid is the favorite to get his signature were he to make a move.

Manchester United win the Premiership

Manchester United have won the Premiership today with a 2-0 win away at the JJB.  The title was never in much doubt after Cristiano Ronaldo scored from the spot, and Ryan Giggs added a goal late to put the game out of reach and hand the title to the Red Devils.  All that remains for Manchester United is the Champions League final.  Their opponent, Chelsea will want to stop them after failing to win the league on the final day.  The Red Devils will be going for a double, and Avram Grant's job may hang in the balance.  Sir Alex Ferguson had his boys ready, and the preparation payed off with the title.  To salvage the season at Stamford Bridge, they will certainly have to beat Manchester United; a task they are capable of pulling off having already beat them once this year.  An exciting end to the year, and a repeat champion, I'm already looking forward to next season.

U-20's down Bolton, and Manchester United reserves

The US U-20 squad is in England for three friendlies with the reserve squads from Bolton, Manchester United, and Liverpool.  The US youngsters dispatched both the squads of Bolton, and Manchester United, 2-0, and 2-1 respectively.  Felix Garcia assisted on a goal by Chris Agorsor, and was brought down in the penalty area, setting up Jorge Flores for the other goal.  The game against Manchester United reserves went well for the Yanks.  Jorge Flores assisted on a goal by Peri Marosevic, but soon after the Red Devils tied it up.  Marosevic and the Yanks had the last laugh, however putting the game away before the final whistle off an Ike Opara header flicked on to Marosevic who hammered home for the win.  The Yanks play their final game tomorrow, against the Liverpool reserves.
