Wesley Sneijder to Manchester United rumour gathering pace
The Wesley Sneijder to Manchester United rumour is spreading like wildfire at the moment. The Daily Mail yesterday quoted an Old Trafford insider as saying: “It’s up to the owners now.

The lack of Premier League players on the FIFA Ballon d'Or shortlist should get alarm bells ringing.
FIFA’s World Cup All-Star Team
There are plenty of World Cup best XIs floating around. Mr. David Beckham did one just before the final, and we did two ourselves, split between semi-finalists and non-semi-finalists.
There’s only one XI that goes in the history books though, and that’s the FIFA one. The FIFA World Cup All-Star Team was decided by the votes...

David Beckham’s World Cup XI
We saw David Beckham looking very coach-like on the England bench at World Cup 2010. There was even a (made up) rumour that Beckham would be replacing Fabio Capello as England manager after the team’s World Cup exit. That rumour seemed to mysteriously disappear the second Argentina exited the tournament and proved that inexperienced coaches...
