SportsCristiano Ronaldo Dumped Gf, Cos She Snubbed His Mum's 60th Birthday Party by baski92(op): 8:14am On Jan 17, 2015
According to new reports that just emerged today, Cristiano
Ronaldo dumped his model girlfriend, Irina Shayk after she
apparently refused to attend a surprise birthday celebration
for his mum.
The football superstar, 29, spent New Year’s Eve alone with
his son when Irina Shayk decided not to attend the 60th
birthday party. The couple rowed and the former Manchester
United star – this week voted the best player in the world –
decided to end his romance with the Russian beauty.
Her relationship with his mum Dolores Aveiro and sisters
Elma and Katia was at the centre of tensions, according to
reports in Portugal. Irina, 29, sparked speculation after she
stopped following
the Real Madrid star on Twitter.
She also chose not to attend the Fifa Ballon d’Or ceremony in
Zurich on Monday when he was named the best player in the
world. Her boyfriend of nearly five years was joined on stage
by his four-year-old son Cristiano Jr and mum, Dolores.
Ronaldo even thanked his family, teammates and supporters
but made no mention of Irina.

SportsCR7, Messi & Neuer's Remarkable Records by baski92(op): 11:29am On Jan 12, 2015
Pepe believes it would be "a scandal" if Cristiano Ronaldo
does not win the Ballon d'Or. Xavi says the Portuguese
should not even be in the top three. Dino Zoff claims Manuel
Neuer deserves the accolade but has no chance of winning.
Jose Mourinho simply does not care about the trophy, saying
it's "bad for football".
When it comes to the Ballon d'Or, everyone in football has an
opinion - and an agenda. Consequently, when it comes to
such a subjective issue, it is often best to turn to numbers in
the search for truth.
Therefore, Goal has decided to lay out all of the facts and
figures relating to our three nominees for the duration of the
Ballon d'Or voting period (November 30, 2013 to November
21, 2014) in the hope of trying to establish the most worthy
recipient of the most prestigious individual honour in the
game.
As already noted, the closing date does Messi no favours
whatsoever, as he became the leading goalscorer in both the
Champions League and La Liga after the voting ceased.
However, as the statistics underline, Messi still had a
remarkable year with both Barcelona and Argentina.
But does the four-time winner deserve to reclaim the Ballon
d'Or from Ronaldo
, who, after a staggeringly prolific start to the season, now
boasts a Liga-record average of 1.13 goals per game?
And what of Neuer and his heroics during Germany's
triumphant World Cup campaign? Should he not be
recognised for the greatest demonstration to date of the way
in which this 'sweeper-keeper' has revolutionised the role?
Why not let the numbers help you decide?
Then again, it's worth remembering the words of Fatih Terim ,
who once said, "Statistics are like mini-skirts: they don't
reveal everything.
71 - Messi equalled Raul's all-time Champions League goal
record with a double at Ajax on November 5. The Barca ace
took outright possession of the record with a hat-trick against
APOEL in his next outing before taking his tally to 75 with a
goal against PSG on matchday 6.
54 - Ronaldo netted 54 times in just 60 appearances,
including international friendlies, for club and country between
November 30, 2013 and November 21, 2014.
34 - After his eight strikes in the knockout stage of the
2013-14 Champions League, Ronaldo has now scored more
goals in the tournament's elimination rounds than any other
player.
22 - Ronaldo equalled the record for Liga hat-tricks held by
Telmo Zarra and Alfredo Di Stefano with his treble against
Athletic Bilbao on October 5. The Portuguese subsequently
broke the record by bagging all of his club's goals in a 3-0
win over Celta on December 6.
21 - On March 23, Messi netted a hat-trick in Barcelona's 4-3
win at Real Madrid to become the all-time leading goalscorer
in El Clasico, with his treble taking his tally to 24, three more
than another Argentine legend, Di Stefano.
20 - Messi racked up a grand total of 21 assists for club and
country across the Ballon d'Or voting period - three more
than Ronaldo.
17 - Ronaldo smashed Messi's record for goals in a single
Champions League season (14) by striking 17 times during
Madrid's triumphant 2013-14 campaign.
17 - Ronaldo also struck 17 times during the opening 10
rounds of the current Liga season - a new record. Even more
impressively, the 29-year-old sat out one of those games.
Ronaldo reached 20 goals just two matchdays later, which
was also a Primera Division record.
15 - With his goal in Madrid's win at Copenhagen on
December 10, 2013, Ronaldo broke the record for most goals
scored by any player in the Champions League over a
calendar year.
14 - Messi's aforementioned hat-trick at the Santiago
Bernabeu in March also saw him draw level with Di Stefano
on Clasico goals scored exclusively in Liga encounters.
12 - Messi became the leading assist-maker in Clasico
history in March by setting up Andres Iniesta for the opening
goal.
10 - Ten of Ronaldo's 54 goals came from penalties, which
works out at 19 per cent. Some 15% of Messi's tally were
spot-kicks.
9 - Neuer kept nine clean sheets in the Bundesliga before the
closing date for Ballon d'Or votes. The 28-year-old racked up
another four before the winter break to set a new record for
the first half of a Bundesliga campaign. The German was
beaten just four times in total, which was also a new
milestone mark for the German top flight.
9 - Ronaldo's strike in Copenhagen in December of last year
also saw him claim the goals record for a solitary Champions
League group-stage campaign. However, his tally was this
season matched by Luiz Adriano of Shakhtar Donetsk.
9 - With his goal against Eibar on November 22, 2014,
Ronaldo became the first player to score against every single
side he has faced in La Liga.
8 - Messi has made the Ballon d'Or top three for an eighth
time. What's even more remarkable about this world-record
feat is that he has pulled it off in consecutive seasons, with
the Argentine having made the shortlist every year since 2007.
7 - Ronaldo and Messi have both featured in the FIFPro World
XI a record seven times in a row, dating back to 2007.
5 - Ronaldo and Messi became the first men to score 25
goals or more in five consecutive Liga seasons during the
2013-14 campaign.
4 - Neuer shipped just four goals during the second half of the
2013-14 Bundesliga season, which was a new record for the
German top flight.
3 - Ronaldo was awarded the LFP trophies for best goal, best
forward and best player at the end of the 2013-14 season - a
feat never before achieved by any player.
3 - Neuer claimed three winners' medals in 2014, winning the
Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal in May with Bayern Munich
before lifting the biggest prize in football, the World Cup, with
Germany in July.
3 - Ronaldo also collected three trophies during the Ballon
d'Or 'year', claiming the Copa del Rey with Real Madrid in
April (though he did not play in the final), the Champions
League just over a month later and the Uefa Super Cup in
August.
3 - Ronaldo equalled Messi's record of three European Golden
Shoe wins by sharing this year's award with Barca striker
Luis Suarez. Both the Portuguese and the former Liverpool
striker hit 31 goals during the 2013-14 season.
3 - Ronaldo's 52nd-minute strike in Madrid's Champions
League last 16 second-leg win at Schalke in February saw
him become the first player to reach double figures in the
competition in three successive campaigns.
2 - With his last-gasp penalty in Madrid's 4-1 victory over
city rivals Atletico in the 2014 Champions League final,
Ronaldo became the first player to net in the tournament
decider for two European Cup-winning teams, having
previously scored in Manchester United's triumph over
Chelsea in 2008.
2 - Neuer conceded only twice in 2014-15 Bundesliga fixtures
at the Allianz Arena before the winter break - a record low for
the first half of a season.
2 - Messi's previously mentioned treble against Madrid in
March saw the Argentine become the first player to score two
Clasico hat-tricks. Interestingly, the No.10 also became the
first man to score three times in one game against a side
coached by Carlo Ancelotti.
1 - Neuer was awarded the Golden Glove after being voted the
best goalkeeper at the 2014 World Cup.
1 - The Gelsenkirchen native is the first goalkeeper to feature
in the Ballon d'Or top three since Gianluigi Buffon finished as
runner-up to Italy team-mate Fabio Cannavaro in 2006.

Sports'lies, All Lies!' - Messi Lashes Out At Barca Mayhem Reports by baski92(op): 8:15am On Jan 12, 2015
Chelsea and Manchester City have both been heavily linked
with a move for the Argentina superstar but he insists that he
does not want to leave Camp Nou
Lionel Messi insists has launched a scathing attack on "lies"
suggesting he wants to leave Barcelona having fallen out with
head coach Luis Enrique.
The Argentina superstar has been heavily linked with both
Manchester City and Chelsea in the past week, with the
Catalans in behind-the-scenes turmoil following the sacking of
the club's sporting director, Carles Puyol's departure and
early elections being called.
Messi and Enrique's relationship was believed to be broken
beyond repair after the 27-year-old was benched against Real
Sociedad - a match Barca lost 1-0 - and it is suspected that
the forward was pushing for the coach to be dismissed.
But Messi has hit back at such claims, insisting that he has
no "rivalry" with the former Roma boss, and lashed out at
sections of the media for throwing "sh*t" at the Catalan club.
"I never demanded anything to stay, as I have no intention of
leaving," he told Barca TV . "It is not good to look for rivalry
between Luis Enrique and me, because there is none.
"We must be more united than ever. They should not throw
sh*t at us. We just want to achieve things for the club.
"I never demanded anything to stay, as I have no intention of
leaving.
"It is said that my father spoke with Man City, with Chelsea.
It's all lies, it's all lies ."
Messi scored once as Barca ran out 3-1 winners over Atletico
Madrid at Camp Nou on Sunday ahead of Monday's Ballon
d'Or presentation when he is competing for the best player in
the world prize with Cristiano Ronaldo and Manuel Neuer.
But Messi is relaxed heading into the ceremony - which takes
place on January 12 - and has praised the respective seasons
of his rivals.
"Whoever wins the Ballon d'Or will deserve it, whether it is
Neuer or Cristiano, who had incredible year," he added.

SportsMan Utd's Best Premier League Signings by baski92(op): 8:07am On Jan 12, 2015
ANDY COLE : Took a while to adjust to life at Manchester
United following his move from Newcastle but went on to
score 121 goals in 275 appearances, including five in a 9-0
demolition of Ipswich.
ANDREI KANCHELSKIS :Cost £650,000 from Shakhtar Donetsk and was a useful match-winner for the Red Devils before moving to Everton.
BRYAN ROBSON : A true midfield inspiration after joining from
West Brom, Robson drove his team to success, scoring 99
goals in 461 appearances and fittingly helped end the club’s
26-year wait for a league title.
BRIAN MCCLAIN : Manchester United had struggled for years to find a striker who could score 20 goals a season but McClain managed that in his first season and formed a prolific
partnership with Mark Hughes.
CRISTIANO RONALDO : The Portuguese arrived as a teenager AND was handed the No.7 shirt which he quickly made his own. He scored 118 goals for United, including the opener against Chelsea in the 2008 Champions League final, before being sold to Real Madrid for a record-breaking £80 million.
DENIS IRWIN : Another bargain buy, Irwin joined from Oldham
and rarely missed a game for the Red Devils. Brilliant in
defence, he was also lethal from the penalty spot and made
over 500 appearances for the club.
DWIGHT YORKE : Helped United win the treble in his first SEASON after moving from Aston Villa and formed a devastated partnership up front with Andy Cole.
EDWIN VAN DER SAR : Manchester United struggled to find a
goalkeeper that could replace the great Peter Schmeichel for
six years before Van der Sar arrived from Fulham for £2m in
2006 and made the No.1 spot his own.
ERIC CANTONA : A transformative signing, Cantona famously
moved from Leeds for bitter rivals United for just £1m and
was the catalyst for a sustained period of success, going
down as one of United’s greatest ever players.
GARY PALLISTER : Formed part of one of the best Manchester
United defences ever, alongside Steve Bruce, winning three
Premier League titles in the process.
JAAP STAM : An absolute rock at the back during his three
seasons at Old Trafford and Sir Alex Ferguson later regretted
his decision to sell the giant Dutchman to Lazio in 2001.
MARK HUGHES : Manchester United brought him back to Old
Trafford from Barcelona in 1988 for £1.5m and he was
named PFA Player of the Year in the first season after his
return. Scored spectacular goals and bagged 163 in 467
United appearances.
NEMANJA VIDIC : Struggled initially but went on to become a
brilliant defender and captain. Won five titles in eight years
and was named Premier League Player of the Season in
2009.
OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER : The Norwegian was the perfect IMPACT substitute, weighing in with countless crucial late goals, none more so than in the 1999 Champions League final when his stoppage-time winner sealed a remarkable comeback win.
PATRICE EVRA : Like Vidic, found it tough going initially, but
went on to thrive at left-back at Old Trafford, winning nine
major trophies in eight years at United.
PAUL INCE : The midfielder joined from West Ham for £1m and
helped win two league titles before being moved on to Inter.
PAUL PARKER : The full-back joined from QPR for £2m and was consistently solid before ultimately being replaced by Gary
Neville.
PETER SCHMEICHEL : An absolute steal, the goalkeeper joined
from Brondby for £505,000 and was outstanding in goal for
United, winning five Premier League titles and the Champions
League.
ROBIN VAN PERSIE : Signed from Arsenal, Van Persie’s 26
goals guided a distinctly underwhelming Manchester United
side to the Premier League title in 2013.
RIO FERDINAND : The elegant centre-back became British’s
most expensive defender when he moved to Old Trafford for
£32m in 2002 and his partnership with Nemanja Vidic evoked
memories of Bruce-Pallister at their best.
ROY KEANE :Signed from Nottingham Forest, the often
controversial midfielder led United to seven Premier League
titles. He famously missed the Champions League final win in
1999 but few will forget his heroics in the semi-final against
Juventus that helped United book their place against Bayern
Munich.
RUUD VAN NISTELROOY : The Dutch striker cost £19m from PSV but more than repaid his transfer fee, scoring 150 goals in
219 appearances in his five years with the Red Devils.
STEVE BRUCE : A dependable centre-back, Bruce formed a
superb partnership with Pallister and also carried a significant
goal threat, scoring an incredible 19 times in the 1990-91
campaign.
TEDDY SHERINGHAM :The clever striker arrived from Spurs at
31 and scored some crucial goals, not least the equaliser in
the 1999 Champions League final win against Bayern Munich
WAYNE ROONEY : He may not be as loved by the fans as other
United greats, but Rooney looks destined to become the club’s all-time record scorer and most decorated players before he departs the club.

SportsVan Gaal: Money No Problem For Manchester United by baski92(op): 9:36am On Jan 11, 2015
The Dutchman has spent over €180 million on new talent
since taking the reins at Old Trafford but he maintains that
there are no financial stumbling blocks for the club
Louis van Gaal insists "money doesn't play any role" in
Manchester United 's transfer policy.
United have spent over €180 million since Van Gaal's arrival
at the club, acquiring the likes of Angel Di Maria, Radamel
Falcao and Marcos Rojo as part of a major squad revamp,
while ex-Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes completed his
move to Old Trafford earlier this week.
And Van Gaal says that the club will continue to spend
whatever he deems necessary as he continues to reshape the
playing staff at Old Trafford.
"When I cannot improve my selection, then I wait," he told
reporters. "And then I maybe have to wait a year more.
Maybe you think that there are so many fantastic players, but
it is not like that.
"[However,] I don't [necessarily] prefer to wait until the
summer when I can improve my selections. That I have
showed with Valdes.
"When we can buy a player who can improve my selection,
the club shall buy. Money is not interesting. It is always
quality of the players in comparison with the other players
that I have. I have to compare. I have to decide. Money
doesn't play any role."
Van Gaal has assembled a fearsome attacking triumvirate
since taking the United reins, with Falcao, Robin van Persie
and Wayne Rooney all vying for a starting spot.
But he has promised United fans that he will improve the
club's "quality" in the final third over the duration of his
tenure.
"Now that I coach Manchester United, I expect more attacking
quality," he added. "If it is not this year, then next season or
the season after that. We shall improve and you shall see it.

SportsGareth Bale Provokes Jeers From Real Madrid Fans And Cristiano Ronaldo's by baski92(op): 9:09am On Jan 11, 2015
Gareth Bale provokes jeers from Real Madrid fans and
Cristiano Ronaldo's anger by shooting instead of passing
Winger faces the wrath of the crowd and team-mate for being
greedy despite scoring a spectacular earlier strike and the La
Liga leaders crusing to victory over Espanyol
Gareth Bale provoked an angry reaction from Cristiano
Ronaldo and Real Madrid fans during his side's 3-0 victory
over Espanyol at the Bernabéu.
The flashpoint came in the 72nd minute, when the Welsh
international ran on to Isco's pass and decided to shoot,
despite the Portuguese being better placed, and rolled the ball
past the post.
Ronaldo was visibly furious with Bale and the supporters were
equally unforgiving, jeering the former Tottenham player for
selfishness.
The moment is likely to add another layer of intrigue to Bale's
position at Real, which has been the subject of much scrutiny
in recent weeks.
Various reports have suggested that Real are considering
whether to cash in on the player they bought for a world
record £85.3 million in the summer of 2013, with Manchester
United believed to be seriously interested in signing him
Real coach Carlo Ancelotti did his best to play down the
incident afterwards and noted the Welshman had earlier
scored a superb free kick that put Real 2-0 ahead.
"Later on the fans wanted him to pass to Cristiano but
forwards are determined to score when they are through on
the goalkeeper," Ancelotti told a news conference.
"Generosity is very important and if someone is being selfish
then we will address it," added the Italian. "The supporters
are very demanding when it comes to the important players
and Bale is one of those.
"We shouldn't blow this out of proportion. It's one moment in
a football game. Relations between them (Bale and Ronaldo)
and everyone are very good. We are all pursuing the same
goal which is to lift Real Madrid as high as possible."
The reaction to Bale's indiscretion appeared all the more
curious given he had earlier scored with an unstoppable free-
kick, as Real Madrid ended a two-game losing run and stay
top of the Spanish league on Saturday.
James Rodríguez opened the scoring after a long pass from
Bale was headed back to the Colombian by Ronaldo in the
12th minute. Bale made it 2-0 16 minutes later when
Espanyol goalkeeper Kiko Casilla could only watch as he rifled
a left-foot free kick in off the post.
The home side played with 10 men for the last 36 minutes
after Fabio Coentrao was given a straight red card for a low
tackle, but it barely bothered them though Ronaldo was
booked for protesting the decision, and the substitute Nacho
scored in the 76th with Espanyol in disarray.
A moment of silence was held before the match for the 12
people killed at the Charlie Hebdo newspaper office in Paris.
Madrid also paraded their Club World Cup trophy won last
month before kick-off.
The victory gave Madrid a four-point lead over Barcelona and
Atlético, before the defending champions visit the Nou Camp
on Sunday.
