Euro 2012 is just around the corner and we now have a good idea of who will be qualifying for the tournament in Poland and Ukraine. So who is likely to triumph and bring the Euro 2012 trophy back home? Let’s have a look at the main contenders and their strengths and weaknesses.

New Chelsea star Juan Mata returned to play against his former club as Chelsea conceded a needles penalty five minutes from the end of the their Champions League group game against Valencia, resulting in a 1-1 draw, that otherwise would have seen the Blues take all three points in an impressive performance. Chelsea veteran Frank Lampard started the game after recently being dropped to the substitutes bench, and he rewarded his manager’s decision with a fine second half strike that looked to have given Chelsea the victory. Lampard was later substituted by Salomon Kalou who’s needless hand ball…

Arsenal secured a narrow victory over Olympiakos in their Champions League group F game, which will bring some much needed stability to the club after the stuttering start they have made the season. First half goals from new signings Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who became the youngest English player ever to score in the Champions League, and a goal from Andre Santos ensured the victory.

Chris Hughton has strengthened his squad with the signing of Senegalese international Guirane N’Daw from Saint Etienne. The 27-year-old defensive midfielder has joined on an extended loan until the New Year and becomes Blues’ ninth signing of the transfer window. N’Daw began his career in 2002 at French side Sochaux where he made 122 appearances.

Manchester United were seconds away from a shock defeat in their Champions League match against Basel, but a late equalising goal from Ashley Young secured a point for the Reds, after the Swiss side threatened a major upset at Old Trafford. United were predictably in control of the game by half time thanks to Danny Welbeck, whose two goals had given the Reds a comfortable lead, but three goals in the space of sixteen minutes during the second half left United on the brink of their first defeat at Old Trafford in 17 months. United’s defending in the…

Carlos Tevez refused to warm up and come on as a substitute for Manchester City during their Champions League game against Bayern Munich. Tevez who had made his intentions of his desire to leave the club very clear during the summer, may have now played his last game for the club, after manager Roberto Mancini has stated that he will never play for City again.

Soccer is on the rise in the United States and Canada. Attendance, popularity, financial numbers, and clubs in Major League Soccer are all on the up and up.

Consumers today have more choices than ever before, especially when it comes to sports. With American football in the United States and Canada and international football in England and throughout the rest of the world, there is always something to watch, and always something to entertain. For years, the English Premier League has been the platinum standard for international football.

So the Spanish Bull has joined Chelsea for a staggering 50 million pounds. It’s a great day for the club, if not perhaps for its home grown talent, which will presumably be forced to sit on the bench for the rest of the season watching the ex Liverpool striker knock in goal after goal as the Blues attempt to claw their way back into the top spot in the Premiership. It’s a pretty good day for the sports memorabilia enthusiast too, whose Chelsea memorabilia collection is now set to grow by at least one legendary signature.

Its surprising that two of England’s top teams and arguably in Europe come from the rainy city of Manchester. Know as a grim industrial city of cotton mills, factories, chimneys. The rivalry between the two Manchester clubs has reached a new level of intensity because of City’s dramatic Abu Dhabi-funded rise to become serious title challengers. The Manchester City boss has told United they will have to make room for their neighbors on the highest platform.

The Liverpool Football Club badge or crest, is the epitome of this famous football club, and the badge on their shirt is often kissed by the players when celebrating a goal or a victory, as a sign of loyalty and love for the club. The badge has changed considerably since the formation of the club well over a hundred years ago, but today’s crest has much significance about the history and tradition of this famous football club.

Lepore was asked, what sort of changes have been made to the league? To which he responded by saying,”Our standards for grading are now based on comparisons with top international academies. Headed into this season we are stressing improvement in areas like style of play, we need to see more Academy teams playing an offensive style based on possession and build-up.”
