Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo had a little surprise for his fans yesterday, officially releasing a 2 minute video that gave them a tour of his house in the Spanish capital
We don’t want to give away any spoilers, so here is the video below.
Interesting video analysis this one by former Arsenal and Barcelona striker and now TV pundit Thierry Henry, analysing his former coach Pep Guardiola’s systems and tactics while the latter was in charge at the Nou Camp. Gives a glimpse into Guardiola’s philosophies as a manager and into Barca’s tactics when they played.
Beleaguered FIFA president Sepp Blatter and European soccer head Michel Platini have both been banned for 8 years by the governing body’s Ethics committee.
While investigating the payment of 2 million Swiss francs (CHF) made by FIFA to Platini back in 2011, the committee found a clear “conflict of interest” and lack of commitment to an ethical attitude.
At 79, the eight year ban will almost certainly mean the end of Blatter’s career. In addition to the ban, he was also fined 50,000 Swiss francs with a heavier fine (80,000 CHF) being imposed on Platini.
Both Platini and Blatter are expected to file appeals.
