With the recent forms of the world’s best known footballers and with the trend set by some scoring an incredible number of goals each season I was triggered to redefine the expectations. Football has become a faster paced game, and a player who is expected to score and fails in doing so in consecutive games [...]

While football is a beautiful game it is also a reflection of life. Hence comes all the related un-footballing acts. It is not a new thing for a footballer to make the headlines not because of his unprecedented talent but for an act of stupidity, violence, or anger on field or in a night club. [...]

Goal of Century? Was it? Aren’t there better goals? Didn’t Messi score a similar one? On June 22, 1986, Diego Maradona scored his goal in a World Cup Quarter Finals Stage against England. The goal took Argentina to the Semi Finals of the competition. On April 18, 2007, Lionel Messi scored his goal in a [...]

Gritándole al Viento is the name of the new song by APOLO featuring Diego Maradona and his daughter Dalma.

The Argentinean band APOLO collaborated with Maradona and shot the music video in April 2014. The shooting took place in Dubai – UAE, and Buenos Aires – Argentina. The song and the video were released just in time ahead of the World Cup in Brazil 2014.

The band was formed in January 2014 and it just released its new song that talks about hopes, dreams and love and is extremely passionate about the subject of soccer. The title of the song (as Google Translate suggests) means ‘Screams to the Winds’ and it highlights how people unite under a flag to reach glory while showing the world the true passion.

The week was full of events. Liverpool were playing a friendly on the night of the Champions League, that they lost 1-0 to Rangers, and Daniella Semaan captured my attention thanks to Cesc Fabregas.

Here are some of the news, old and recent, that I am highlighting while waiting the Manchester United vs Manchester City encounter.

  • “Football is about more than just goals and numbers, it’s about passion and compassion.” Diego Maradona was quoted saying so when he visited Diab Awana’s family to pay his respect and to offer condolences after the young UAE footballer’s death. The Arab community of footballers and sports figures, including TV hosts and commentators, played a friendly game to commemorate the late Awana in Kuwait. The most talked event of the game played was Mohammad Saadon Al-Kwari goal in the match. Here is the Al Jazeera Sport football host goal in the game, and a reminder of the late Awana crazy penalty kick.[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLnRNVyjXiU]
  • Remember the Mourinho run on the sideline at Old Trafford? Do you really want to see that happen again? I have a feeling that Mancini will repeat the same this Sunday when Manchester City visits Manchester United. The Italian tactician went crazy this week when his team scored the winner against Villarreal in the Champions League, and that might just be the beginning of a rejuvenated Italian Citizen, or an act of destiny.[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3a8H3FLDhx8]
  • Lionel Messi, who was just named Britain’s 18th Most Influential Man, is apparently on the right path to become a universal goalscoring sensation. He is already Barcelona’s second most prolific scorer with 196 goals, 39 fewer than the club’s number one César Rodríguez, and on the way to top; unquestionably.

    Lionel Messi Projected Landmark Goals
    At this scoring rate, Messi is expected to net 500 goals before he is 30 years old

  • Fernando Torres is back, though not to the Premier League action before October 29. He scored for Chelsea in the Champions League twice against team Genk. Torres goals were the first in the competition since he last scored in the Champions League for Liverpool on April 8, 2009 vs Chelsea. This feat will be repeated only if David Luiz repeats his Barthez-Blanc ritual before every game the blues play.

    The new footballing rituals
    David Luiz blessed Torres before the game, and it brought back memories of the Laurent Blanc's famous Fabien Barthez kiss - All rituals lead to glory?

  • Argentina never stopped amazing the football world. The new comparisons between Tevez and Aguero add more flavor to the history of ill-tempered Albicelestes across the globe. So, if you bench Tevez he will never accept to come as a sub and help the team, but Aguero will gladly accept and score a 92ndminute winner.

    Sergio Aguero - Tevez - Mancini
    Some Argentinean players can be happier when starting from the bench

  • Romario; remember him? It seems that Pele and he are persistent in their search of ways to grab the headlines recently by the mere mention of greater names such as Maradona and Messi. Now, and after Pele promised to send Messi his documentary on tape, Romario believes that his one La Liga Title and one World Cup Trophy make him better than Messi. The story doesn’t stop here: Romario thinks he is better than Maradona too. Fact check: Maradona was not a striker to begin with. Need to say more?
  • Last night, Cesc Fabregas wished the 11 year old Maria Elie Taktouk a happy birthday on his Twitter account. This tweet took me back to his relation with the Lebanese mother of Maria: Daniella Semaan. This gorgeous Lebanese woman is Cesc’s new girlfriend. She comes from Miziara, (thanks to @FootySupernova and @ElieTouma who hinted that out), Lebanon, aged 36, a divorced mother of two, and has been recently credited for the good form that Cesc has shown since his move to Barcelona. With a bit of luck, Daniella might pull a Shakira-esque move and invite the Barcelona football team to Lebanon just like when Shakira asked the team to her concert and to the stage.

    Take my hand, and my kids, and I will show you the right way to glory, every morning!

Diego Maradona meets Belgium’s legendary Jean-Marie Pfaff, in Dubai, after 30 years of Mexico 1986.

Soon, it will be exactly 30 years since Diego Maradona’s legendary World Cup achievement in Mexico 1986.

 

Commemorations of the event have already started – even if there is no official celebration or event for that.

Diego Maradona meets Belgium's legendary Jean-Marie Pfaff in Dubai after 30 years of Mexico86

With the efforts of UAE’s Bader Hareb, a well known figure in football and ex-Al Wasl manager (where Maradona was head coach), a meeting and a friendly match saw Diego Maradona and Jean-Marie Pfaff together. The legendary Belgian goalkeeper was at the receiving end of two goals scored by Maradona in the semi-finals of World Cup 1986 in Mexico. [Video Here]

This is not the first time that Maradona meets some of the people he “tortured” during his glory days, as he already met Peter Reid of England, in 2011, through Al Wasl contacts too, 25 years after his goal of the century. [Video of that Meeting Here]
