Fernando Torres has become one of the most respected of the foreign players earning their living in the English Premier League. Ever since his transfer from Atletico de Madrid in the summer of 2007, El Nino, as he was dubbed early on his career, has impressed English football fans not only with his goalscoring abilities, but by his total attitude towards life in his adopted Liverpool.

One of the world’s finest midfield players, Cesc Fabregas has come to personify Arsene Wenger’s philosophy on the football field. Mobile, possessing a delightful first touch, completely unselfish, always aware of ‘the big picture’ and totally committed to playing the game in the ‘correct’ way, Fabregas is the perfect midfielder for one of Wenger’s teams.

Is Steven Gerrard Liverpool’s finest ever midfield player? Certainly there will be many loyal Koppites who could make a fairly convincing case in favour of that being the case.

Robson de Souza – known throughout the footballing world as Robinho – was perhaps the biggest surprise addition to Manchester City’s squad in their much publicised quest to enter British football’s elite. When the Brazilian signed from Real Madrid on the last day of the transfer window in the summer of 2008, it made everyone aware of the seriousness of the new club owners’ intentions. This was a genuine superstar coming to the City of Manchester Stadium.

I have no way of knowing the truth of the following story or otherwise but I wouldn’t be in the least surprised if it wasn’t true. Apparently, John Terry has the ball that he so horribly miskicked from the penalty spot in the Champions League final against Manchester United two seasons ago sitting in his house so that he can see it every day. It must have been the worst moment of his career; and his genuine emotion was evident for everyone to see. Now, he uses it as a spur to his determination to make amends.

Phuket, the well-known tourist destination in Thailand, is not only a place where beaches and night life can be enjoyed, but also a rising sport destination. Each year, three very popular International soccer seven-a-side tournaments are attended by hundreds of overseas football enthusiasts from many countries. These tournaments provide a socially competitive environment for soccer players who wish to compete with the right attitude and spirit.

There are many Goalkeeper Trainers working in football but few Goalkeeper Coaches. What’s the difference? Well, usually a trainer will be an ex-pro or similar who has been handed his coaching role on a plate by a duty bound club once he’s finished his playing career. This type of coach is fantastic at developing drills to push physical boundaries; however is not necessarily an analytical man.

Why would you place a young soccer player on an exercise machine when they have their own body to use? This makes no sense at all.

The World Cup of Soccer is one of the world’s most watched events. Fans from around the world look forward to this exciting sporting event. The next FIFA World Cup of Soccer games will be held in South Africa between 11 June and 11 July 2010.

As if going to a match at the Bernabeu Stadium to watch Real Madrid wasn’t a big enough attraction anyway, the club has now gone and smashed the world transfer record to bring Cristiano Ronaldo to La Liga. A staggering 80 GBP million has gone to Manchester United to acquire the World Player of the Year – a sum that the Madrid club consider to be great value for money, considering the skill that the player possesses on the pitch. And, of course, the moneymaking potential he brings off it.

Anyone who went to the Olympic Stadium to watch RCD Espanyol in action will be really pleased that the new Cornella-El Prat stadium is ready for the upcoming season. If ever a place lacked atmosphere, it was the famous and beautifully located home of Espanyol, since 1997. It might have been situated on the glorious slopes of Montjuic, but it was still almost always half empty and sensible fans took their binoculars with them if they wanted to identify the players properly.

The old saying about always being the bridesmaid and never being the bride isn’t really appropriate. Atletico Madrid, after all, have won the Spanish league five times in the last 50 years; the Copa del Rey nine times; the old European Cup Winners Cup (they have been runner up twice as well) and even reached a European Cup final in 1974.
