Chelsea vs. Benfica: Can Oscar Cardozo kill two birds with one stone?
When Benfica president Luis Felipe Vieira splashed out just shy of 10 million euros for the beanpole marksman in the summer of 2007, he confidently announced “Benfica have bought a striker to guarantee twenty goals a season.” Cardozo has proven as good as Vieira’s word, finding the net on a staggeringly consistent basis. He has scored 127 times in 204 matches in all competitions for Benfica.
So it follows that Cardozo is an idol of the Estádio da Luz, right? Wrong. Cardozo is far from the darling of the Benfica faithful, even attracting boos from sections of the crowd on a mystifyingly regular basis.

Bayern records massive victory as Dortmund nears record
Dortmund and Bayern has both played the majority of 2012 without their best players Mario Goetze and Bastian Schweinsteiger respectively. Dortmund played a weakened Bremen side and won courtesy of a player who has somewhat acted as a ‘messiah’ for them in Shinji Kagawa. Kagawa’s poor form in the earlier part of the season led to rumours of a transfer away from the club. Kagawa has been rejuvenated this year and he has partly filled up a massive hole left by Goetze. The record unbeaten run in the Bundesliga is 24 matches, recorded by Bayer Leverkusen in the 2009-10 season. Dortmund is currently on a 20-match unbeaten streak.

The EPL’s top 6 teams & 10 big records they made in the first half of the season
1) Who scored the first goal of the season?
How else to start but by recalling this moment which happened at Anfield? On Matchday 1 of the 2011/12 English Premier League, Liverpool hosted Sunderland. The Merseyside Reds were given the chance to take a seventh-minute lead through the penalty spot. This opportunity, however, went missing as striker Luis Suarez wasted it.
The Uruguayan later redeemed himself with a twelfth-minute strike which became the first goal of the 2011/12 English Premier League season. This will remind some people that Luis Suarez also makes the headlines for good reasons…

Luka Modric discards January transfer as Spurs are enjoying a great season
The Croatian midfielder’s name was constantly mentioned in the headlines, especially last summer, as Chelsea looked favorites to land the player’s signature. All the same, Harry Redknapp won the transfer battle and Modric remained at White Hart Lane.As the January transfer window is about to open, speculations surrounding the 26-year-old have emerged again. Rumors suggest that Modric might respond to Chelsea’s midfield problems by joining Andre Villas-Boas’ struggling Blues.
The player, however, has been quick to discard them. On Thursday, the English press reported Luka Modric as saying:

Liverpool FC: Is an EPL Title Challenge on the Cards?
In addition to the frustration of constant failure to win the league, Liverpool fans have also been forced to watch bitter rivals Manchester United break their record of 18 English Championships. For a long time the fact that their club had won more league titles than any other is the only straw Liverpool fans had left to clutch, as they argued against the superiority of Arsenal, Chelsea and United.
It was also typical to hear Liverpool fans confidently exclaim in August that this was the year the drought would be broken, only to be disappointed before Easter rolled around.
Ironically, the lack of that optimism could be a big positive for this year’s squad. Pressure is elsewhere, with United expected to defend their title, Manchester City expected to compete after spending billions of dollars and Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas is expected to bring immediate success.
Only Messi or Ronaldo could replace Tevez at Manchester City—Micah Richards
Manchester City are apparently planning ahead of a life without top striker Carlos Tevez. Although Tevez’s wish of quitting Eastlands suffered a huge setback following Corinthians’ failure to finalize a deal, it is still speculated that Tevez won’t be a Manchester City player come the 2011/2012 season.But one person who has come out with pessimistic thoughts is Micah Richards. The defender has tipped superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the only players that could replace Carlos Tevez at Manchester City.
Mario Balotelli can become Manchester City’s No.1 man—Micah Richards
Mario Balotelli is widely portrayed as the bad kid in football. His hot tempered behavior on the pitch, his tendency to not celebrate goals and his offensive statements against other professionals in the sport have destroyed his young career.Balotelli has been warned by Italy coach Cesare Prandelli and Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini at several occasions. For team mate Micah Richards, the upcoming season could mark the beginning of much better things to come from Balotelli if Carlos Tevez quits the City of Manchester Stadium.
Brazil vs USA helped Women’s Football grow through ESPN audience records
Records were set last weekend. Following the exit of top side Brazil, how well can World Cup favorites USA contribute in boosting ESPN’s audience at home with 2 match-days left? Pia Sundhage’s team can be congratulated already for the growth of the women’s game among American viewers through ESPN. It has been reported by the Nielsen Company that 3.89 million people followed USA’s thrilling quarter-final victory over Brazil last Sunday.
This match eventually ranks as the 3rd most followed women’s football encounter in the USA. In terms of USA HH rating, the top 5 areas that marketed July 10’s Brazil vs USA match were the following:
The 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup hits ratings records on ESPN & co
For the first time in Germany, a Women’s World Cup match attracted as much as 16.95 million viewers with 59.3% of them following it on public-service channel ZDF. This record got created through the Germany-Japan quarter-final match that saw the host nation stunned by the Asians on a 1-0 score line after extra-time.However, the development of Women’s Football still has some way to go on ESPN. The Brazil vs USA quarter-final fixture got a 2.6 overnight rating—the highest score for a women’s match since 1999 when USA and Brazil locked horned in a World Cup semi-final. That match had drawn a 3.2 rating.
2011 Copa America: Can Gonzalo Higuain Lead Argentina Towards The Quarter-Finals?
Fred saved Brazil against Paraguay, Sergio Aguero did the same for Argentina in the opening game, but none of the South American powerhouses have yet been able to celebrate their first Copa America victory.Costa Rica, on the other hand, redeemed themselves after a disappointing debut by defeating Bolivia 2-0, thanks to Joel Campbell's superb form. He sets Costa Rica's pace and rhythm, and the Argentinian defenders should keep him under a close watch.
It's undeniable Sergio Batista must introduce several modifications in his scheme to make the best out of his squad.
I believe Sergio Aguero earned his place in the starting eleven and could give both the aggressiveness and playing style Batista looked for in Carlos Tevez and Ezequiel Lavezzi.
Ricardo La Volpe is likely to adopt a defensive scheme for this third clash, relying on the counter-attack to harm Argentina when they're most vulnerable. Costa Rica's coach introduces Francisco Calvo in the starting eleven, an amateur defensive midfielder who will be in charge of stopping Messi from building the attack.
