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.
In other news, USA Soccer has released a pool of 33 players to be used in the three up coming friendlies.  There are the usual inclusions such as Landon Donovan, and Tim Howard, but there are also some players who played their way onto the squad like Kenny Cooper, and Robbie Rogers.  The full roster is right here.

Chelsea Injury Scare

http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00363/HEROES_DROGBA_TERRY_363183a.jpg

Chelsea have avoided a big set back in their champions league title aspirations.  John Terry and Didier Drogba were questionable for the game in Moscow after going down with injuries in the final game of the season.  It does now seem that both will be available for the final, and Avram Grant will have a full side at his disposal.  It would have been a big blow not to have a capable goal scorer, and your captain available for the final, but Grant has luckily avoided this predicament.
