Friday, March 20th, 2009

English football hopes that the four Premier League clubs Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal who have made it to the quarterfinal draw will avoid each other on Friday and maybe all make it to the semifinals.

Defending champion Manchester United and Barcelona go into the draw as the bookmakers’ joint favorites at 5-2.

Both teams are in first rank of Premier League and respectively in Primera Division.

In my opinion Liverpool could be the surprise this edition of Champions League, considering the latest results that they had against Manchester United at Old Traford (4-1) and Real Madrid in the Champions League with the final outcome in both games (4-0!).

Steven Gerrard said.”We are not running scared of anybody. We will take who we get, and believe that we are going to go through,”, “If you are asking me about a fear factor in the Champions League, then I think it is the other seven teams in the draw who are going to have concerns about coming up against us after that Real Madrid result.”

Manchester United ousted Italian champion Inter Milan in the previous round and Chelsea knocked out Juventus which means there are no Italian sides left in the competition.

Porto and Villarreal are the outsiders of the eight, who are made up of five winners, two runners up and a semifinalist.

The first legs of the quarterfinals on Champions League are April 7-8 and the returns are April 14-15.

BlatterVSPremier League

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Sepp Blatter accused the Premier League of hoarding the world’s best foreign football players.

Sepp Blatter introduction for a 6+5′players rule that would force teams to start matches with at least six players eligible to play for the national team.

Teams would only be able to start with five foreign players, there would be no limit on the number of foreign players under contract at a club.

Sepp Blatter said: “They can have 30 players on contracts who could all play in other leagues or even in the same league in other clubs, but they keep the best because they have the money,”

“The African market is practically drained. We are trying to install professional leagues there but there must be solidarity, especially in this economic crisis,”, “That solidarity means that those who have everything have to abandon something.”

In the matches from UEFA Champions League, Chelsea used four in its 1-0 win over Juventus, Liverpool had two on the field in its 1-0 win at Real Madrid, Manchester United used three in the 0-0 draw at Inter Milan, and Arsenal beat AS Roma 1-0 with an all foreign lineup.

Also Sepp Blatter said: “Do you think that is the right thing? We are at a crossroads in FIFA,”, “We have to intervene in football to make sure that club football is identified if not locally then nationally, that you have the majority of players from the same country in a team.

“If this is not possible we will have football on two levels, the rich and those who have nothing.”
