Defiant Michael Owen Vows to Keep Scoring Goals for Manchester United
Owen scored over 100 goals for Liverpool and won the Ballon D’or Award in 2001. Owen also won back to back Golden Boot Award’s as the Premier League’s leading goal scorer in 1998 and 1999.Real Madrid signed Owen in 2005, but when the striker later signed for Newcastle United, it was tantamount to a semi-retirement in the eyes of many fans.
It was thought that the lack of Champions League football would hurt Owen, and his England career would peter out and come to an end. That is exactly how things turned out, but Owen had one surprise move left in him.
In the summer of 2009 Owen signed for Manchester United to the surprise of many. Rather than hurting Liverpool fans, it barely raised a mention among many fans as most perceived Owen as “past it” and predicted a short and pointless Old Trafford career for the striker.
Paul Scholes—he scores goals…and has officially retired
By Celina I. Sanchez:
He scores goals, galore,
He scores goals!
Paul Scholes—he scores goals…
Sadly, this tune, like Paul Scholes, has been retired. Sir Alex Ferguson, United players (past and present) and fans gave Scholes a festive send-off at his Old Trafford testimonial.
The match featured the current United squad against Eric Cantona’s New York Cosmos, a soon to be MLS team in America. However, as this match was for the Ginger Prince, it included some special players—Fabio Cannavaro, Gary Neville, Nicky Butt, Patrick Vieira, to name a few.
Manchester United Must Get Goals Coming in Soon - Sir Alex's Challenge Against Everton
Old Trafford has virtually been a story of joy, fun and thrill as far as Manchester United are concerned this season. I mean, what else can make them happy when they have collected 52 points from an available 54 over there at the Theatre of Dreams.
And to be frank, their home form has been so impressive that it even kept United's title dream alive all season long considering how poor they have been away from home. Five wins in 17 matches hardly justifies any positive side of their form away from Old Trafford in the Premier League this season.
But hello, United are leading the pack with only a mere five games to go before the season draws it's conclusion. How better can that be when you think of how inconsistent they have been while playing in away games.
Barcelona's MVP: Messi, Villa, Pedro, and 83 goals that speak for themselves.
Lio Messi finally became Liga's top striker last week in his 251st cap wearing the Blaugrana shirt. Unlike Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo -the Portuguese striker hoards half the goals scored by Jose Mourinho's Blancos so far- Barcelona's offensive has proven to be much more versatile. Figures do not lie. The fact that David Villa and Pedro have scored 21 and 20 goals each makes them one of the deadliest attacking duos in the Spanish League. In fact in 34 out of the 42 games played so far at least Messi or one of them had a chance to taste the net.
Andres Iniesta and Xavi play a vital role in the midfield. Their depth of view and finesse sharpens Barcelona's trident even more, as it's clearly shown with a quick look at the statics: Only once in all the games Messi, Pedro and Villa have played together from the first minute on, the three of them failed to score, as Barcelona faced Athletic for the King's Cup.

Arsenal vs Barcelona: It’s Not Just 4-Goals Hero Lionel Messi - Bendtner
“When you watch Barcelona, you have to give them credit because the way they play is a pure joy all the time,” Bendtner told The Mirror before adding: “When you look at their team, they’re about much more than just Lionel Messi. He is the best player in the world and seems to score in every game. No-one else can really match him.
“But, they have so many great players. When you go through their team, there is not a single player who is not world class, so we know how tough the two games against them are going to be.”

FIFA Ballon d'Or 2010: Andres Iniesta, Goals and Skills - Video Highlights

Anyway, this article is all about video highlights, so just sit back and enjoy the best highlights of Iniesta in the year 2010.

Cristiano Ronaldo Gets 2 Goals In 4 Days: Is Ronaldo Back For Real And Ready For Malaga?
Cristiano Ronaldo – Back on track for Portugal
After losing a part of his value through a dreadful World Cup run and a slow start to the 2010/11 season, Ronaldo only had few options in front of him prior to his games against Denmark and Iceland in the UEFA Euro 2012 Qualification earlier this month. Back in September, Ronaldo had absented himself from his country’s 2 first matches in the European Championship owing to an injury. Yet on October 8 and 12, Portuguese fans had their eyes set on the winger, and disappointing them would have thrown CR9 into serious trouble.
Luckily for him, he got revitalized in time, and 2 goals in a space of 4 days were enough to restore his positive image among his own people. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a smart late goal against Denmark on 85 minutes, while he clinched an early opener on 3 minutes against Iceland through a free-kick.
Sevilla v Real Madrid La Liga Match Preview
It is arguably a two-horse race but like Valencia’s club president Manuel Llorente stated last week, importance should be given to all the teams that participate in the league. In other words, the trophy could be resting neither at the Camp Nou nor at the Santiago Bernabeu when the Primera Division terminates.
Over the past season, Barcelona built a team around unity, determination, and the principle of playing beautiful football. Presently, the Blaugrana look strong in depth and unstoppable.
Meanwhile, their fiercest rivals Real Madrid are just recovering from a miserable year without silverware. The introduction of mega stars, the appointment of a new president and a new coach could be the solution for Real Madrid to renovate their broken fortress.
