I can't blame him. If I were in his position, I would do the exact same thing. While Sir Alex Ferguson and Real Madrid trade potshots- Ronaldo just sits back and basks in the glory of the moment. Hey I can sympathize with him. I remember the days when I had models and hot chicks […]

Numancia, like Real Madrid, ran away from the pack and are just one point away from returning to the first division.

The dust has settled on another dramatic, frenetic and typically unpredictable domestic campaign across the top leagues in Europe, and only the international feast of football that is Euro 2008 remains on the soccer calendar this season.
