A very interesting week in Serie A , with a lot of action . Here s a small review of what happened and what will be from a reliable source ( ESPN ).   AS Roma visit Fiorentina on Wednesday for the second of four matches in 10 days that will show the Serie A leaders how credible their domestic and European ambitions are.

The trip to Tuscany comes before Saturday’s home game against champions Inter Milan and next week’s visit to English title-holders Manchester United in the Champions League.

Roma, last season’s runners up, lost their 100 percent record in the first of the four big tests on Sunday when Vincenzo Iaquinta’s late header earned Juventus a 2-2 draw.

Nevertheless, Roma coach Luciano Spalletti said he was proud of another convincing performance and will take heart from the form of captain Francesco Totti, who struck twice on Sunday and has scored five times in the last four games.

Fiorentina are in fine fettle too after beating Catania 1-0 on Sunday thanks to Adrian Mutu’s third league goal of the season.

The home side have eight points from four games, two points fewer than Roma, who they will leapfrog in the standings if they win.

Fiorentina midfielder Riccardo Montolivo said his team mates are relishing the challenge.

‘We have been waiting for this match against Roma for a long time,’ Montolivo told Fiorentina’s website. ‘It will be beautiful to play against them’.

Inter, who also have eight points, will be looking to put a bad week behind them against Sampdoria at the San Siro.

The champions were held 2-2 by basement club Livorno on Sunday and lost their Champions League opener 1-0 to Fenerbahce in Istanbul last Wednesday.

Inter coach Roberto Mancini will be without Brazilian defender Maicon, who was sent off at Livorno.

Cristian Chivu and Marco Materazzi also miss out through long-term injuries and Patrick Vieira is doubtful because of a hamstring problem.

Atalanta, another team on eight points and in striking distance of the top spot after their 2-1 home win over Lazio, visit Siena.

Juventus, sixth with seven points, host Reggina without suspended French defender Jonathan Zebina and Portuguese centre back Jorge Andrade, who is likely to miss the rest of the season after snapping a knee tendon at Roma.

European champions AC Milan, ninth with six pointAS Roma visit Fiorentina on Wednesday for the second of four matches in 10 days that will show the Serie A leaders how credible their domestic and European ambitions are.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has left the English Premier League club “by mutual consent”, the club announced on Thursday.

“Chelsea Football Club and Jose Mourinho have agreed to part company today (Thursday) by mutual consent,” said a one-line statement posted on the club’s website.
Mourinho’s departure will send shock-waves through English football.
The Portuguese manager has transformed the nation’s football landscape since taking over at Stamford Bridge in June 2004, winning two Premier League titles in his first two years in charge, the FA Cup last season and the 2005 and 2007 League Cups.

But his relationship with Chelsea’s owner Roman Abramovich has always been fraught and it has now been confirmed that a disappointing 1-1 Champions League draw with Norwegian side Rosenberg on Tuesday was his last in charge.

So , after the first games of the League we made some damage to the bookmakers …

Between the lines .. tips , bookmakers , a sad news was everywhere this week … The great WRC champion Collin McRae died in a helicopter crash …Colin McRae was described as one of the most “exciting and spectacular drivers the world has ever seen” as the motorsport community struggled to come to terms with his death on Saturday after his helicopter crashed close to his Lanarkshire home.
Tributes poured in for the former world rally champion, who also became a household name worldwide through the PlayStation game Colin McRae Rally.
McRae became the first Briton to win the world rally championship in 1995 with Subaru, but had not held a full-time WRC drive since the end of the 2003 season when he parted company with Citroën. He subsequently undertook a number of one-off guest drives, most recently in last year’s Rally of Turkey, where he filled in for the injured Citroën driver Sébastien Loeb.

McRae helped Subaru win successive constructors’ titles in 1995, 1996 and 1997 and Richards, who was team principal at the time, added: “He was just so competitive and so extreme in everything he did, yet also great fun. He matured over the years to be a great pal. There was never a moment when he didn’t try 100% and it’s ironic that he walked away unscathed from so many rally accidents only for this to happen.”

Awarded the MBE by the Queen, McRae also tried his hand at truck racing in the Dakar Rally and competed in the Le Mans 24 Hours race. He also won the Race of Champions, an event in which the world’s top car racers compete over a specially built course in rally cars inside football stadiums. He had been due to partner the formula one driver David Coulthard in Team Scotland in the 2007 event and both were recently in London for its launch.

“He was fearless, flamboyant and blindingly quick in the car,” said Coulthard. “We had some great times and his passing is a terrible blow for the McRae family and everyone who came into contact with him. He was very down-to-earth, matter-of-fact that he was so good. He had all the good Scottish traits. I competed in the Race of Champions with him because of my respect for him - I remember him urging me on, telling me to get the finger out for Scotland.”

Another leading figure in Scottish motorsport, Sir Jackie Stewart, said: “It’s a sad loss for Scotland, of a real hero and an immensely popular friend.”
That popularity extended to the two-wheel code. After winning the MotoGP in Portugal yesterday an emotional Valentino Rossi, seven times the world champion, said: “I need to remember Colin McRae. I dedicate to him this victory because he is one of my idols.”
Close friends maintain that there was no correlation between the way that McRae flew a helicopter and the way he drove a rally car, ruling out pilot error as the cause of the accident. One friend said: “I have flown with many professional helicopter pilots, and Colin would have put them to shame. His attention to detail as a pilot was second to none.”

Collin s great numbers .. just a part of them :
British champion 1991-1992
World champion 1995; runner-up 1996, 2001; finished third in 1998
World Rally Championship rallies 146
Wins 25
Podium finishes 42 Stage wins 477
World Rally Championship points 626

R.I.P

One of the most exciting leagues is no doubt the North American MLS . One weird thing happened lately with the Toronto FC . With a lot of injured players they are right now in a critic situation.

If bad luck had a name yesterday, surely it was Toronto FC , as the club extended its winless streak to 11 games in a 0-0 tie with Real Salt Lake in spite of FC outplaying its opponents. For those counting, it also extended the team’s Major League Soccer record goalless streak to 822 minutes.

But for all of the zeros at the end of the day, TFC players weren’t in the mood for giving up after a game in which they dominated at both ends of the pitch.

Right from the opening kick, the team descended on Salt Lake goaltender Nick Rimando almost at will with first rookie Andrea Lombardo, then Collin Samuel, Maurice Edu and Marvell Wynne all getting shots inside the penalty area.

Wynne later left the game with a hamstring injury.

All that an astounding 12-3 shots on goal advantage amounted to, however, was applause from the 20,098 fans at BMO Field.

Manager Mo Johnston , for the first time this year, was at a loss for words after the game.

“I’m absolutely speechless,” he said. “We controlled 90% of the play and came away empty.”

It’s hard to think of what’s left for Johnston to do other than throw on a shirt and shorts and put himself in front of the opposition goal.

“Listen, don’t think getting out there in the penalty box myself didn’t cross my mind,” he said.

Even the return in the second half by star striker Jeff Cunningham couldn’t steer the ball into the net.

Cunningham was playing his first game in almost two months after suffering a sports hernia.

With 96 goals on his MLS resume during stints with four teams including Salt Lake, Cunningham can’t figure how the ball won’t go into the net for this club.

“I’m telling you right now this is the most talented team I have ever played on in my MLS career,” he said. “I don’t understand it. I was sitting on the bench in the first half and I couldn’t believe my eyes.

“In any other game we should be ahead 3-0 after that first half.”

Johnston also announced he has been given a two-year extension on his contract with Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Ltd. and already is planning a scouting trip to South America after the season to look at players.

“We are looking to add six or seven new players next season,” he said.

We should keep an eye on this team , because they have some good odds for a win in the next games. The bookmakers are giving them really big odds despite of their good game and motivation . Watch our free picks for some more info !

Finally , looks like the german midfielder is on the move . Was about time ….

He admitted on Sunday he was disappointed to be left out of Chelsea’s Champions League squad, while reports from Britain have linked him to Real Madrid.

The 30-year-old Chelsea midfielder was unhappy after being left out when Chelsea’s 23-man squad was named last week, but there is speculation in the British press he has been offered a deal to join the Spanish giants.

Ballack is still recovering from the ankle operation he had last April and the injury kept him out of Germany’s 2-0 Euro 2008 qualifier win over Wales in Cardiff on Saturday.

“Of course, I am disappointed to be left out, it is clear the decision was based on how long the doctors think I will be out for,” Ballack told the German Football Federation’s website.

“But I want to be back playing as quickly as possible. I need time to recover from the ankle injury. I have had two ankle operations and I still get a bit of pain, but I can’t train or play at the moment,” he said.

This is the first time Ballack has expressed his disappointment at Chelsea head coach Jose Mourinho leaving him out of his squad for the Champions League group stage games.

“I don’t really understand why Chelsea took this decision which has led to speculation,” said Ballack.

According to British Sunday tabloid paper The People, Ballack was omitted from Chelsea’s Champions League squad because he has agreed a switch to Real Madrid.

The 77-times capped Germany international was officially left out because of his injury, but the Sunday tabloid reports Ballack has agreed a 135,000 pounds a-week (200,000-euro) deal with Real Madrid.

David Beckham scored his first goal for the Los Angeles Galaxy and set-up teammate Landon Donovan for the clincher in a 2-0 Superliga semi-final victory over D.C. United here Wednesday.

The English star midfielder who signed a 250 million-dollar deal to leave Real Madrid and try to boost football in the United States had seen limited action in a month with the club due to a sore left ankle.

But Beckham finally displayed the form football enthusiasts hoped he might show Americans, bending in a 20-meter free kick over a wall of defenders and into the left corner in the 28th minute to give the Galaxy the lead for good.

You can see the goal HERE .

The Galaxy will host Mexican champion Pachuca on August 29 in the championship match of the inaugural tournament, which matched US and Mexican top sides. The winning side will receive one million dollars.

Beckham was wearing the captain’s armband and in the starting lineup for the first time for the Galaxy after coming off the bench in two prior appearances with the team. His first workout with the team was Tuesday.

Beckham entered in the 78th minute in a friendly against English Premiership side Chelsea on July 21 and played 18 minutes last Thursday against United in his first, and thus far only, Major League Soccer match.

After missing games at Toronto and New England, Beckham could make his first MLS start on Sunday when the Galaxy visit New York.

This year All Star Game was a special one . In Las Vegas , Nevada , Kobe Bryant picked up his second Most Valuable Player trophy from the NBA All-Star game much closer to his West Coast home — and the Los Angeles Lakers’ guard got nothing but love in a city that adores its showmen. Kobe picked up his second Most Valuable Player trophy from the NBA All-Star game much closer to his West Coast home.
Bryant scored 17 points in the first half, doing his best to score over Dwyane Wade whenever possible - including a dynamite 3-pointer in the Miami star’s face late in the half. He went 8-for-14, also throwing down at least one rim-shaking dunk.

Bryant appeared to concentrate on playmaking in the second half, particularly when San Antonio’s Tony Parker was out of the lineup. Bryant finished with six steals and five rebounds in addition to his assists, which included a sweet pass for an alley-oop dunk by Shawn Marion.
With the crowd chanting “M-V-P” in the final minute, Bryant roared through the lane and threw down a vicious under-the-rim dunk over Chris Bosh’s head. The shot might have cemented his win over Phoenix’s Amare Stoudemire, who scored 29 points in his first All-Star appearance since recovering from microfracture knee surgery.

Bryant is headed to the USA Basketball team next summer, his Nike contract reportedly is being renewed, he won a big video game contract over James, his new No. 24 jersey is No. 1 in sales in the NBA … i think it s pretty good …
