Unfortunately, it had to be one of Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic who had to miss out on World Cup 2014. The two players, talismanic figures for their respective teams, scored five goals between them in Portugal’s epic 3-2 win over Sweden in the second leg of their playoff tie. Ibra netted twice while Ronaldo scored thrice in front of a crowd close to 50,000 in Solna.

However Ibrahimovic is never short of a quote and the PSG forward remarked that the World Cup would not be worth watching without him. Ibra is a superstar in his own right, but there will be more than a few who will argue that the World Cup would have been poorer without Ronaldo, whose consistency with Real and Man Utd in the last decade has been nothing short of incredible.

One thing is for sure, a World Cup without me is nothing to watch. Congratulations to Portugal, but both teams deserved to get to the World Cup

Given Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo’s ages, this was essentially a last shot for them at World Cup glory. At the next World Cup in 2018, Ibra will be in his mid 30’s, while Ronaldo will be 33.

Argentine legend Diego Maradona raised $500,000 ( half a million dollars) in charity for the Raisa Gorbacheva Memorial Institute for Children Hematology and Transplantation at an event organised by Swiss luxury watch maker Hublot yesterday on the roof of the Central Universal Department Store (TsUM) in the Russian capital city of Moscow.

Diego was asked to have a crack at 10 targets from 16 metres out, with each target represented by a different sum ranging for $25,000 to $300,000. If he had cracked all the targets, he would have raised $1m in charity. Continue reading “Diego Maradona raises $500K in Russian shootout Hublot”

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has laughed off rumours of veteran winger Ryan Giggs coming out of retirement to play for the Welsh national side. Welsh fans are clamouring for the legendary winger to guide the national side in Euro 2012 qualifying after the injury blow suffered to Aaron Ramsey.

Giggs had said that he would consider playing for the national team again if asked by Toshack. However Ferguson when asked about the possibility of the 36 year old to don Welsh colours again said, “Ryan? You must be joking”

“I can’t see it, it must have been a weak moment for Ryan. I can’t see that happening.”
