The whole of the football season wrapped up in 1 day
Being a rather lean day, I took in the recap of the football season from around the world.
Here is my brief rendition of the important events surrounding football- particularly focusing on Europe.
Here is my brief rendition of the important events surrounding football- particularly focusing on Europe.
- Man U snatches English teenage phenom Wayne Rooney from Everton for big ching at start of season.
- Chelsea exihibit dominance in the English Premiere League. It's probably a "told you so" kind of event but Chelsea final kicked it in gear and won the silverware. John Terry is proving his worth and grabs a spot on the national squad.
- Kevin Keegan quits. Being a Man City fan of sorts I read a bit about this development. It's not out of the ordinary for him so why bother. Well, City finished in the top 10 this term. Goodbye to Fowler, Macca, and bunch of other older "wiser" guys. Wright-Phillips arises to the occasion. So does Joey Barton in some unusual way.
- Liverpool outduals the Italians for the European Champions Cup in one of the greatest finals of all time (ended in penalties). Less amazing is that they may not be able to defend their title because they did not qualify in the Premier League tables. So much for finishing 5th.
- Michael Owen joins Becks in Madrid. Real flounders as Barcelona re-emerge. Villareal qualifies for Champions League with Man U castaway Diego Forlan.
- Malcolm Glazer purchases more Man U stock and makes the fan boys shake in their boots. Can the most recognizable team in the world handle his debt? For now, we'll have to wait. Hopefully he doesn't move the club to Florida.
- Moscow CSKA wins UEFA Cup. First Russian team to do so.
