European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Lionel Messi Investigated For Fraud In Spain by dammybravo(m): 3:17pm On Jun 12, 2013 |
Barcelona footballer Lionel Messi and his father are being investigated in Spain for allegedly defrauding the state of more than 4m euros (£3.4m). The 25-year-old Argentina forward and his father, Jorge Horacio, are suspected of filing fraudulent tax returns for 2007-09, officials say. The World Player of the Year has so far made no comment on the allegation. His net annual salary at Barcelona is said to be 16m euros, making him one of the world's highest-paid athletes. On Wednesday, a complaint signed by prosecutor Raquel Amado was filed at the courthouse in Gava - the affluent Barcelona district where Messi lives. Judges at the courthouse must accept the complaint before the suspects can be charged, reports say. Messi and his father are suspected of using companies abroad - in Belize and Uruguay - to sell the rights to use the footballer's image. The accusation is that by using companies based outside Spain where he lives and plays club football, Messi and his father avoided paying more than 4m euros in tax... http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22877408 He wrote on his Facebook page: "We have never committed any infringement. We have always fulfilled all our tax obligations, following the advices of our tax consultants who will take care of clarifying this situation." The investigation comes as the Spanish authorities step up their efforts to clamp down on tax fraud, as the government tries to balance its budget during a continuing economic crisis, |

When you want to define greatness, longetivity counts a lot and how well you stood up to the competition around you, even when you are off of your peak, that greatness never leaves you... When one have to compare two teams, players or any entity in sports, the very first thing that is gonna put them ahead is how they/he have been on top notch, surpassing records in any circumstances, not against one/few teams/players but against almost everyone in that sport.. Rafael Nadal is a great player but not the greatest, he is still under the shadows of sampras and Federer |

Roger Federer and Tommy Haas played doubles yesterday at ATP-HALLE, losing in two sets..That's the first time the two are playing together, and the inexperience showed in their game... Both Players are to continue their singles match tomorrow, cos they are seeded #1 and #3 respectively and won't play round one |

Sports / Rafael Nadal Wins Eighth French Open Title by dammybravo(m): 4:30pm On Jun 09, 2013 |
Nadal clinched his 8th clay title out of 12 grand slams title, did so by defeating fellow Spaniard 6-3 6-2 6-3 in straight sets, becoming the first man to win same major 8 different times... Nadal has been pretty impressive after his comeback from injury, making 9finals in 9 tournaments and winning 7 out of 9, he is now 2 grand slams shy away from pete sampras 14 titles, and obviously the favorite for the two remaining grand slams of the year, which is wimbledon and Us Open... http://www.nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/52148421 |

I think we should be talking about the second greatest player of all time, cos without doubt Steffi Graf and Martina Navratilova are the greatest of all time, we could say Graf is a bit ahead, winning all majors at least four times, how the hell can you beat someone in a french open final in just 32 minutes that's Graf for you, IMMENSE..Serena has got a long way to match the two 1 Like |
