February seems a long time away
I am addicted to soccer(aka calcio, football, futbol), lets just put that out there right now. But, besides this Friday's UEFA Champions League draw which Azzurri Dreams will publish for all our readers as soon as humanly possible, I have realized, there is no significant soccer to be played until February when the Champions League starts up again.
The title races in England, Italy and France are done, Chelsea, Juventus, and Lyon will win again. But at least we can watch as these events happen simultaneously to keep us all entertained:
Manchester United will disintegrate before our very eyes and this will be interesting(see DRAMA) but only for a while, listening to Frank Lampard say how much he loves Barcelona will become very boring, very quickly unless it is his hot girlfriend saying it, and wondering why Newcastle boss Graham Souness still has a job, I figure my good-natured responsibility as a 'soccer journalist' is to simply report the latest news. Here it goes:
1)Newcastle United will make a bid for Real Betis Joaquim and try to beat Chelsea to him in the January transfer window. Would you want to commit to a team whose coach looks like he is pissing himself every game on the sidelines while Freddy Shepard looks over him?
2)Manchester United will bid for PSV's Nigel De Jong. I guess all my emails to Sir Alex telling him he needs a mid-fielder have finally paid off.
3)Juventus will make a play for Bayern Munich's French defender Willy Sagnol which has has Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge annoyed at the Italians as they were also able to steal Robert Kovac away last year. But wait, where is the love, weren't we allies once.
4)Arsenal will make a move for Bolton keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen. Nothing to boost your confidence when you are Jens Lehmann and trying to get the number 1 for Germany and hearing rumors like these to help you concentrate.
At least in the process of writing this, we are already closer to February 21st when the Round of 16 starts in the Champions League!
